If they put [I]effort[/I] into this, it might actually be pretty good. It certainly worked with The Animatrix, and it'll at least hold off the hunger for the actual movie.
[sp]Which, of course, will fail miserably.[/sp]

The real Movie will be in the First Contact War. Not with Shepard or Garrus
[QUOTE=Stopper;29054740]Because from what we've learned from other anime movies is that they FUCKING SUCK. And we want a good Mass Effect movie.[/QUOTE]
I mean things like Princess Mononke is the type of anime I don't mind watching. There's exaggeration, but not to a ridiculous extent. If they did something like that it could possibly work out.
As long as they don't get massive googly eyes and tits or crazy backflips and acrobatic crap for someone in full armor. And if they don't drop the level of detail.

I hate it when they do that too. Why not bring out favorite characters? Why do we have to see the First Contact War? Wasted potential is what it is.
What the fuck. When someone makes a video game movie, people complain that its following too closely to the main story. When someone makes it based on the universe, people complain its not about the main story. Make up your damn minds already. I bet if they did it on Shepard, and they chose someone who didn't look like it, you'd end up complaining anyways.

Nobody has ever complained that a movie follows the main story of the game. That's bullshit you pulled out your ass.
Hmm I looked into it and I couldn't find any video game movies that completely followed the plot of the video game. At most they follow the characters but set up a sort of different story. But I doubt no one in the history of the world has not complained about it.
Also my point still stands for Mass Effect. The games are inherently choice-based. Even if the movie focuses on something not in the main story but with Shepard, you already come into problems with that. Shepard is customizable by race, gender, abilities, etc. For a lot of other video game movies, the characters are all set. So Blood Rayne will always have a distinctive look (Whether or not the director follows it or not is a different story).
While it would seem that that would mean you could cast Shepard as anyone, the most recognizable Shepard is default male. But if you cast someone who looks like him you'll still have the groups of people complaining that Shepard isn't something else.
For the rest of the cast if they screw up casting/details on someone who's recognizable it'll draw more complaints.
Relating back to the fact that Shepard's story is choice-based, making a movie based on his story kind of blocks any choices/moral dilemmas that could be made. Unless they made the movie multiple parts and allowed fans to vote on what choices Shepard should choose. It'll split people's opinions on the movie and whether or not they'll want to see it more so than if they just shot it on a different aspect of the ME universe.
But what I think the main problem is the difficulties Bioware and the producers would face trying to make it canon so ME fans won't call it out on plot inconsistencies. If they set it anytime after ME1 then there's no way they can escape inconsistencies unless they just ignore characters who could die altogether.

Although I agree about the story part, the cast is the easiest thing to get.
Shepard - You've got your actor in the face of Mark Vanderloo and the voice of Mark Meer.
Garrus - His voice actor is Brandon Keener, who happens to also be an actor.
Tali - Liz Sroka is her voice actor, anyone can play the character - all it takes is a costume and a mask.
Jack - Courtenay Taylor was her voice, I'm fairly certain Jack was modeled after her too.
Jacob - His voice actor is Adam Lazarre-White, who is also an actor. He doesn't look exactly like Jacob, but I'm fairly certain some makeup can fix that.
Kasumi - Kym Hoy, both face and voice.
Legion - He's a freaking robot, CGI all the way
Miranda - Yvonne Strahovski, face and voice
Mordin - Michael Beattie is his voice, CGI is his face.
Morinth and Samara were both modeled after Rana McAnear. Morinth is voiced by Natalia Cigliuti, Samara by Maggie Baird.
Thane - CGI and the voice of Keythe Farley.
Zaeed is Robin Sachs in voice and almost in face.
TIM is obviously Martin Sheen.
There you go. You've got your team, you've got your actors, technology has come such a fucking long way - this is by no means hard to make. Someone just has to do it.

If they make mass effect as an anime movie, then I'm going to get really pissed off.
EA funding it.
Funimation? Why not get a good studio like Madhouse.
As long as Mac Walters isn't anywhere near it, I'll watch it.
If the movie is anything like Animatrix (which I think it propably won't be) then I can somehow support this.
Oh well, hopefully the artsyle will have a realistic approach.
I was watching LOST while playing ME2
i kept getting mixed up Matthew Fox would be perfect for the part
great. along with Just cause, another great series into kicked into the dust.
[quote=RPS Shotgun]I’m aware ‘anime’ conjures mixed feelings for some folk, but those who aren’t keen on such things might be glad to hear that Bioware exec producer Casey Hudson, one of the main ME bods, will also do the exec production thing on the film.[/quote]
Ok as retarded as this seems, as long as the artstyle isn't stupid and follows something similar to Cowboy Bebop while having amazing script writing then it might just pull through alri-
[quote=RPS Shotgun]Primary duties, however, will be handled by Tokyo studio T.O Entertainment, Inc, with the flick to be distributed by the hilariously stupidly-named FUNimation.[/quote]

Hahahahahaha. Madhouse used to be great, now they're just a shambling pile of shit that should as well just crash and burn. Their last hope faded away with Satoshi Kon's death.
God you guys are so Anti-Anime. :frogdowns:
I dont think the movie looks.. THAT bad. i'll watch it for the laughs i suppose.
Gonna end up like the Dead Space movies.

[QUOTE=Xenomoose;29054423]Wow, such a huge irrational hatred for anime here. Did anime rape your mothers or something? Because I honestly don't see why people it. Seriously. It's just japanese animation. There's nothing wrong about another culture's way of animating things.[/QUOTE]
I don't care if it's another culture or not, if it sucks, it sucks, and I find anime to be a repetitive and lazy style.
[QUOTE=LordApocca;29050378]50 bucks it's Matthew Fox.[/QUOTE]
Why don't they just ask the guy who modeled for Shepard?
If Greg Ayres is voicing in this movie, I will kill a newborn kitten.
I like anime and TOE are pretty good I just hope it... wait, FUNimation? It'll be a trainwreck.
I [i]never[/i] want to see a Mass Effect movie.
[QUOTE=PopLot;29087156]Why don't they just ask the guy who modeled for Shepard?[/QUOTE]
because you wouldn't want a dutch model with no acting experience to be the lead actor of a big budget hollywood production
Fuck an anime movie. I'm not watching Wrex say "Desu desu Kawaii!! Shepard."
Well see you Mass Effect. We had a good run, but if you are going to get an anime movie, then you can kiss my respect for you good bye.
I don't care who's producing it, it's bound to be a failure to the majority of Mass Effect fans, because the only people who like anime are the Japanese, weeaboo's, and /b/tards.
Never even heard of that studio, or anything they've made, bioware shoulda made a deal with the ones that did Ghost in the shell :saddowns:

Because every anime is like that, go watch some decent animes like Jojo's bizarre adventure, ghost in the shell, black lagoon, akira, etc.

I like Death Note. And that's that.
It will probably blow the world away with it's greatness. The proof will be in the pudding when it's released. But all I'm saying is that I seriously doubt it will bomb. Hell, I doubt it would be released in cinemas. It's just going to end up being really stupid, thus making it really obscure. The same thing happened with that Dead Space anime. You can't say to one of your friend and say "Hey, you know that Dead Space anime?" and expect him to say "Oh yeah, I know that! My whole family loves it!"

Are you retarded or something? Anime is a medium of entertainment, you can't judge it entirely because of some series. If you could, why shouldn't we hate videogames for movie tie-ins, Doom clones in the past or anything like that while we're at it?
Haha.
