| It's been almost 8 years now since Demons Souls was released in 2009. It was followed by the Dark Souls trilogy and Bloodborne which have received critical acclaim. Why hasn't anyone made a Dark Souls anime movie/series/OVA yet? And the SoulsBorne series already has a really big fanbase. I think it would be a really decent anime. Maybe make it in full 3D like Final Fantasy The Spirits Within or Kingsglaive. I would love to watch the fight with Sif and Artorias animated. |

Yeah, with the MC being a morbidly obese backstab-fisher who would just invade everyone 24/7. Gitto guddo scurabbulordo. Truth be told, I wouldn't mind seeing all the awesome creatures from the Souls games in a show at least. |

| We already have a Dark Souls anime, it's called Berserk. |

Cagliyora said: It's probably pretty dificult to make an anime around a series where people still to this day have debates about some parts of the story. Make an original story or adapt parts of the Dark Souls lore. No need to follow it as it is. |

 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
HamburgerSpike said: Lestat- said: We already have a Dark Souls anime, it's called Berserk. More like we have a Berserk game and its called Dark Souls Are the Berserk games any good though? I've only seen videos of it, and it looks....below average I guess? |

An Artorias backstory anime would be pretty cool. Cagliyora said: Omkar_Nagwade said: Make an original story or adapt parts of the Dark Souls lore. No need to follow it as it is. Ah, I wouldn't actually mind it if they do it like that. An Artorias backstory anime would be pretty cool. Or make the story about the Four Knights of Gwyn. Or the Nameless King. Or Ornstein's journey to find the Nameless King. There are just way too many stories to adapt in the Dark Souls lore. |

| It would be goodly, maybe a prequel age of fire, I always imagined how it would be the world of souls during the "golden age" when everything does not fall into disrepair... They could do the ova to fill the holes of lore or even the history of the characters as they did for FFXV or deepen the realms of Astora, Carim, Vinheim given the little knowledge we have of them they could create a series. But it is more probably to come this year KH3 them to do such a thing. v(´-ι_-｀)v |

| 3d games look weird when becoming 2d anime like bayonetta |
 |
| I would prefer not to. Dark Souls 1 & 3, and Demon's Souls are good just the way they are now. |

| As much as I love the series, it's fine the way it is. And besides, we already have Berserk. |

Well, if youve read the manga then theres hardly any competition, but I liked Dark Souls and they look alright to me Yeah, I am reading the manga(at chapter 267) and I must say that the art is GOD TIER. After finishing the '97 anime, movie trilogy and also, the horrible 2016 anime, I started the manga. Did not expect it to be that amazing. It deserves to be the #1 manga of all time. We still need a Dark Souls anime though. Or maybe an American animation company can take it up. It has a lot of potential. |

And then you have all those creatures, monsters, bosses and people in the Dark Souls universe. Just imagine getting a story based on The Four Knights of Gwyn or a story focusing only on Artorias and Sif and their journey to defeat Manus- and eventual fall of Artorias. |

| OP's been living under a rock :D We already have Git:Gud The Anime. https://myanimelist.net/anime/31240/Re_Zero_kara_Hajimeru_Isekai_Seikatsu Kidding aside, you know what would be better as an anime series? The Warcraft franchise. I'd love to see the War of the Ancients trilogy. And it's time to add Illidan Stormrage and Arthas Menethil to the list of top anime characters. |

Just imagine getting a story based on The Four Knights of Gwyn or a story focusing only on Artorias and Sif and their journey to defeat Manus- and eventual fall of Artorias. But it isn't exactly a story-driven game to begin with. One of the main things that make the Dark Souls lore so engaging is how vague and obscure it is. The game is pretty much the player witnessing the aftermath of tragic events, and getting clues as to what happened. That's where the main appeal if these events comes from. Dark Souls, in my opinion, is perfectly fine as a game, and the only reason for making it into a show or film, would be to appease those who have already played the games. In other words, fan service. |

Did you watch the live-action adaptation? Was it any good? I played Warcraft religiously for the last 8 years and when they announced the movie I was very excited. I watched it and all I could think of was how everything looked good. Meaning that the story and everything else was sub par. (ReZero is really good. Emilia is my best girl, and I'm only judging by her looks;she's fucking hot!. Actual best girl is Rem though) |

| I think I'm one of the few people who prefer Bloodborne, so I'd really like to see the goddamn beautiful Clocktower fight from the Dlc. I mean, that'd be cool, as long as they adapt it well. I think that something incredibly similar but able to pull off its own thing would be better than a direct adaptation though. |

Hey 'guy-who-called-me-a-try-hard-elitist', what's up? Welcome to the discussion. I also loved Bloodborne's Gothic, Victorian era inspired Yharnam. I've never played the game but, I would love to see it animated. |

In fact, a lot of the Warcraft novels are just okay-ish, nothing exceptional except maybe the War of the Ancients trilogy. The Warcraft III campaigns though, both Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne, would make amazing stories. |

Same here, I absolutely adore the setting, and most of the lore regarding the Pale Bloods and the Church. I don't think I've ever seen a setting similar to Bloodborne's employed in an anime so I think it'd be pretty interesting at the very least. |

| I'm not used to play new games because of my shitty PC, but I've seen the souls in mates houses and in YouTube game rants lol But I think that, if it gets animated it'd be a movie series and with CG... Idk why, but I got that feeling |

Who knows if its going to be bad or good? It could be fucking great. Even if it has a very low chance on actually being great, it would be worth trying. |
| While we are at it, why not Bloodborne the anime? I guess there are not many Atmospheric Lovecraftian horror that takes place in classic horror Gothic-Victorian era setting anime out there based on my knowledge, or are there? |

And those who undergo suffering and avoid giving it to others." -Alice “Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.” David Hume “Evil is created when someone gives up on someone else. It appears when everyone gives up on someone as a lost cause and removes their path to salvation. Once they are cut off from everyone else, they become evil.” -Othinus  |
