Hoping the anime adaptation will be done nicely, heard it has a nice story for a game. Beating WoW in popularity? Its never a good idea to have hopeless dreams. right falling sub numbers say diffreant And its still by far the most popular MMO on the net. |
| Don't think I've ever watched an anime based off of an MMO. I love playing MMO's. But they're are addicting as hell, so I try to stay away from them haha Watching the anime though, shouldn't take nearly as much of my time :) Will definitely be checking this out! |
| It sounded so good until Gonzo.. |
| The game is amazing, I hope the adaptation will prove worthy. |
| Lol Gonzo. |
 |
| A shame that no english-speaking company has yet to localize the game. Being an avid MMO gamer myself, not being able to have a taste of a game with such splendid combat display is irritating. Regarding the adaptation, i'm not really sure how it will really work out this time. Having watched the anime adaptations of Maple story and Ragnarok, which were jumbled mess of plot, left me utterly confused. Though it helped a bit with the fact that both game had already been localized in my country at the time, so i could forget the messy anime and just play the game. Next, i hope somebody in Japan will consider the possibility for Elsword |
| Well, i was almost getting excited for this, then i saw Gonzo... Whatever, i'm really looking forward to the American release of, and i play on the Korean server right now and it's really interesting, so naturally i'll look forward to this anime. I would prefer an adaptation of Aion, though, as i like the story. |
| Alcyone. Electra. Maia. Taygeta. Calaeno. Asterope. Merope. By the blessing of the Seven Sisters, I descend from four hundred lightyears in space! I AM MR PLEIADES!!  |
| Not just this one. If you pay close attention to ending credit of most anime shows, you must notice lots of Korean names on staff list. They've been employing Korean animators for pretty long time, actually |
| That's nice. It will help me wait for the english release. I hope NCsoft get it done this year. |
| Been wanting to play this game for so long :( Oh well.. i'll just have to settle with an anime adaption instead. Looking forward to it though! |
| lets just hope its the uncensored version |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| I'd honestly be x100000 more excited, if the game adaptation was first released in English. |

EasyGo-er said: that'd be sick!Korean-to-Japanese adaptation? I hope this will spark more adaptations like this in the future. Maybe Tower of God anime among others. :) |

| Was there even ever any decent anime based on a game other than a few LN adaptions and parts of .hack franchise? I sure don't remember any. There's no reason to think it will be anything other than uwatachable rubbish. Well, good thing only story counts, not gameplay. Otherwise all these game based series would suck even more. Unchou said: Why would it? It's basically pretty much the same mechanics you see in any MMORPG released in the past decade. Sure, there are a few tweaks here and there but it's not enough to distinguish itself. It's just Aion or whatever with better graphics. If this game doesnt't beat every MMO to date with its popularity idk what will |

Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Can't wait to see this. Really like the design in Blade and Soul. Hope to see Po Hwa Ran. |
 |
| I was waiting for the game, this will be a fanservice fest! |
| Wow iv been waiting a long time for the NA version of this game but instead it gets an anime adaptation???? This completely took me by surprise I really hope they animate it well, or at least to the level of the actual game The visuals in this game were absolutely stunning |
| FUCK YEAH!!!! |
 |
| They should animate Devil Maker. :D |
| 💕 |
| Looking forward to this. |
 |
| the game is never coming out in the US lol been so delayed |
| Currently playing this game in Chinese although i dont understand Chinese at all. Screw valentines! Hope it is April already |
| OMG YEEEEEEES :) I love mmorpg's and it would be awesome to have one turned into an anime i've heard about this one but haven't really gotten into it but it seems really interesting... hmmm anyways i hope that they don't butcher it cuz i really would hate for such an appealing game to be marred by a crappy adaptation :/ |
| A Korean RPG getting an anime? There is hope for Dragon Ball Online yet! |
Bum Bum Dum Dum |
| - Game to anime adaptation - Titties and lolis galore - Gonzo Looks like it'll be a shitty anime. I'd rather NCSoft get off their asses and bring the game over to the states already. |

symbv said: If the Official site is the source, may I know exact location of the announcement about the anime adaptation is in the official site? And Yaraon is quoting a Japanese translation of a Korean site. Who can vouch for the correctness of the Japanese translation? Who can tell that the Korean site is a legit site for game news? The news is legit (judging from some looking around I did in Korean sites) and so is the site. and I cant really read the japanese text to see how it was translated but it seems that the OP here was more or less what the source site says. Source Site (GameFocus) said: NC Soft's popular MMORPG "Blade and Soul" is getting an adaptation in Japan as a TV anime. According to a representative from the Japanese anime industry who requested anonymity, the anime will be broadcast in April and more details such as its content and concepts will be announced mid-February. Blade and Soul is about to launch its Japanese service, and it's speculated that the broadcast of the anime will be closely connected with the Japanese launch of the game. It was confirmed that the Blade and Soul Animation will be produced by the famous Japanese animation producers, "Gonzo". Gonzo is an acclaimed studio that has produced "Hellsing","Ao no 6-gou", "Last Exile" and other works in the past and has also participated in producing the "Dungeon and Fighter" animation in 2009. So I'd say yes, it is right and I can vouch for it so no need to fret. |

| Game adaptation? not a very good idea...I rarely see a successful one...RARE. *gasp*--f |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Sounds awesome. Totally up for watching this. |
 |
| The trailer looks pretty good and the animations as well. I hope the anime has a good plot. |
| Kuroookoooooo-chin! |
| so it's like another mortal combat or something? |
| Blade and Soul getting an anime? I'm in shock. |
| Somehow the promotional art for the anime looks terrible compared to the game, and the game is straight up just ass and titty fanservice with no other redeeming factor, so it's a bit disappointing to see it won't be as good in that regard in the show. There are much better studios fit for this type of game and the type of series this will end up being, but it may still be worth checking out, so I'll give it a chance some day. |

RazielZero said: The game is pretty interesting and I have been waiting for the possible english version for some time now. I wonder what they can make out of this adaptation :) I will probably watch it. I thought they would make an english version right away. MMO's should be accessible to the entire world if they have been worked on as much as this MMO. |
| Kuroookoooooo-chin! |
| dont care about the mmo anymore... how long NCSoft working on the translation etc ? 1.5 yrs?! When the game comes out noone cares anymore about a 3 years old mmo... when they can play TESO and EQN or other good mmo's... but the aime sounds nice... |
| Anyone know if Pohwaran will be appearing in the anime or will she be a no show. I would love to play the game but sadly it not in english and I always loved her artwork that I have seen. Plus can't go wrong with two different color for your hair. |
| And no stuff to us. :( |
