We need nore video game adaptations
Black Souls anime adaptation
>>282087117They're usually bad though
>>282087117nore we don't
>>282087117Megaman X always felt like one of those IPs that desperately needed some kind of streamlined story that took all the good ideas and put them in a more coherent way
>>282087605It's not really THAT incoherent. I mean yeah they could have included some of the stuff in the guidebooks into the games and there are unanswered questions and retcons here and there (namely Wily and his existence within the X timeline)But for the most part it's pretty straightforward and the message is 'War is hell and can turn people against you'. It's Fire Emblem Three Houses but not trying to be Shakespearean and 33% of the fanbase isn't trying to fuck the main villain.
>>282087117>We need more video game adaptationsnever forget the monkey paw, it should be"We need more GOOD video game adaptations"
>>282087117Hildibrand please
>>282087251They're better than most of /a/'s recommendations
>>282087605I liked the Megaman Archie comics, they were adapting the classic era and had a lot of hints and foreshadowing for the X era, unfortunately it got cancelled before it got there.Sometimes I still have flashes of a MMZ anime being animated like the game commercials:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iRcc2DcGFw4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKHY6BsNd50https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp7KtTBz5achttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTxHmWczHxE
The problem is most games do not have very good stories worth telling as OVAs or series. It's fun to see iconic characters flip around shooting shit or fighting, but that can't last forever.
Did anyone here watch the Persona 4 anime? I love the game but never cared enough to watch the show. Not my charlie tunoku
>>282088467Even if the games themselves don't tell a big story(like early megaman) they still have a really interesting world and characters that you could very easily turn into a story. You could make a 3 season story out of Megaman1 alone
>>282088467The key is keeping the main beats but changing stuff around drastically so there's more of a main plot and character depth, Megamix and Archie comics managed to do that, you could just expand that style to the whole franchise.
>>282087117I hope "nore" is shorthand for "no more"
>>282088524The first P4 anime was great, if you can get over the budget issues and weird skin shading.
>>282088156>/a/'s recommendationsThat's a low bar.
Edgerunners was good.

How bout schizo edge kino? And yes, all the girls in this pic are evil and dead.
Was the Danganronpa anime any good?I just finished playing the first game and was wondering if the anime would be nice complementary material.
>>282087117Nore
>>282087117Give me a full Pokemon Mystery Dungeon adaptation that covers a game from start to finish. Preferably Explorers if it also adapts the special chapters too. (Keyword full, the couple promotional episodes don't count)
>>282090735Gunvolt would be like ragebait for /a/.
>>282093228Because of how bad it is?
There has only been one good video game adaptation, and it will never be surpassed.
>>282087117we need less adaptations
It could never be done justice
I mean that Ryza series tried that and showed how lame it is. Turns out not every video game works as an anime
>>282087117More like snore video game adaptation because it put me to sleep
>>282087117When are they getting out of the elevator /a/non's?
>>282087117Drakengard, if we ever got to the point we can have another unfiltered anime full of gorn, nihilism, cruelty and nudes like Gantz.But at that point i would simply ask for another Gantz adaptation first insteadhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRkAjlsec90Maybe go straight to D3, the most anime of them allhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7hx80BI0qo
Why did everyone from 1997-2001 have a crush on Iris? She was a late 90s sex symbol.
>>282093975The setting is bleak and is pretty mean to its cast. The premise is: "what if kids started being born with magic anime powers in the second half of the 21st century." The people with the anime powers (psychics) have unnatural hair and eyes and the typical personalities that come with being stock shonen characters (see pic related for the differences in design between a normie and a supernatural 12-year-olds). Many have supernatural athleticism and competency as well. The normies don't like teenagers throwing down in central plaza as part of their friendship rituals, and the psychics are a great scapegoat for the shitty situation the world was in, so normies brutally oppress them (in some countries, they round up any kid with unnatural features for the death camps; btw, they also harvest their organs and body parts to create weapons and products). Japan, where the main character lives, is dominated by a fascistic megacorporation that exploits psychics, and ultimately seeks to mindcontrol them to dominate the world. Opposed to them are another group of villains, the Multinational Union of Psychics, or Eden, who have radicalized from all the BS and become convinced the only way to stop the elimination of psychics is by killing off most of the non-psychics. This second group is composed mostly of orphans who've been fucked over by non-psychics, like the MC.It's pretty edgy. MC-kun doesn't believe in mercy. For instance, he kills the oracle of Eden, who is 11–12 years old, in the second game during the final fight after telling her he's going to send her to hell with the rest of her adopted family. It's frustrating because the MC fucks up, especially when he tries to go back to being a normal kid after resolving the immediate situation, leaving chaos and a power vacuum behind. Note that him being edgy is not treated as a good thing. Most of his character arc is getting over his mental conditioning and becoming more understanding and responsible.
>>282095052to be fair if I was born looking like an anime character and had superpowers I wouldn't dress like a normal person either
>>282095152In that world, you probably wouldn't want to stand out.
>>282095052To add, the ragebait would be that many of the villains are revealed to be endearing and sympathetic in the side stories. Especially in the second game, where they're good guy coded by design and personality. Their natural inclination is towards heroism and altruism, but they end up twisted because of all the horrific shit they experience (we're talking one character, who was just 8 at the time, having to survive a purge by hiding under a mound of corpses sort of stuff).
>>282095242shouldn't they wear contacts and dye their hair then
>>282094565NeverNor are they getting off that piece of scrap metal in the middle of the ocean in the other timeline either.
>>282095500That's what the MC does.
>>282095052How often do bad LNs make for a good anime adaptation? Gunvolt would be no different.
>>282094703Had a defined design that wasn't some polygons loosely strung together like most other video game females and was from a popular franchise.
>>282095481>intislop kys
>>282095587You can always expect this sort of leakage whenever Inafune is involved.
Be honestDo you want X9 to happen?
>>282087117Megaman is not japanese, thus it is not anime.
>>282095052Remind that Gal Gun is the prequel series to Gunvolt and has actual plot relevance to it
>>282087117A metroid SoL might be great.
>>282089650The first half sure, the second half was a dumpster fire as is trigger tradition.
>>282095635Yes. 11 felt like they wanted to make an X game, but had to hold back
>>282094398An interesting fact about this series is how her thighs inflate with each passing game.
>>282095481>endearing and sympathetic>>282095242anon, elise here is actually a very petty and vindictive bitch who use her time freeze power to cheat and get ahead in an online multiplayer game because she can't handle the bantz and getting owned by pro players.
>>282095573But is that design, or her personality, attractive?
>>282096986Literally me (if I was cute and had time freezing powers). How could I not find that endearing and sympathetic?
>>282087807Facts
>>282088252Yeah really liked how the Archie comics were an even bigger hot mess than the actual series. My favorite is the flashback of X and Zero with Commander Sigma that already has the facial scars that X gave him after he went Maverick. >MMZfagYeah, should've seen that one coming.
>>282096986People get attached to them because of their designs, but the GV villains all had it coming. I can’t think of one who wasn’t a terrible person.
>>282097276Granted it has been a while since I read the comics, each game arc took more and more volumes to adapt than the last one, I think the pacing started to become a problem but there was a sweet spot there which I really liked, they had something fun going on.>Yeah, should've seen that one coming.Very proud of that.
>>282097276>MMZfagyes, and?
>>282090735>evil and dead.say that again?
>>282095635>Do you want X9 to happen?yes, x6 was a mess an x7 a catastrophe but x8 was already correcting most of those issues and if it got iterated upon with less gimmick levels it would've been genuinely good
>>282095635Corrupted will probably be better than an official X9, but I still want X9 anyways.
>>282096986That's from the extra material, right? The dumb snek abused her power too much to troll other gamers in a VR online game that people started to notice and reported her to the authority, and that got her locked up in a research facility. What a fucking dork. But seriously, you really can't fix her. She killed all the scientists in the lab, then used her time poweqr to resurrect then enslave them as mindless zombies. She's really beyond redemption and had it coming.
can the zero-era even still be consistent with the x-era, when the sigma virus has already been neutralized in x8 without any mother cyberelf intervention?
>>282096986>>endearing and sympatheticYeah, in the side stories. Even the genocidal terrorists get to be heroic and comedic, saving a little girl and then trying to get her to smile again (but failing because they all have trauma of their own).And Elise had mental issues from getting bullied by normies for her eyes and hair. She didn't deserve to be sent off to a corpo lab to be experimented on and modified. Even then, the corpos had to torture a new personality onto her because she refused to harm others with her powers. Utterly retarded too, because her offensive powers were shit compared to her support/healing ones.
>>282098077>corruptedI want to say it's never happening, but adding a full Axl mode instead of just announcing it shows real work is still being made and that makes me hopeful.
>>282098135The Zero era is an alternate timeline.
>>282092460The Nier anime had such a messy production.
Isn't Metaphor getting an anime?
>>282094703>everyone self inserts as zero because hes cool>shes zero's waifuit aint hard to tell
>>282098135There's like, five different X Timelines, the X forgets Zero and is building basically a Reploid ethnic state timeline, The Zero is Dead (for now) Timeline which leads to X6, which then has the timeline split of Zero continues working with X for the Hunters Timeline which leads to X7 and 8, the Zero seals himself away timeline which leads to MMZ, and then there's the timeline where Force Metal became Supra abundant and is ambiguous if it's after X7 or 8 but is it's own separate timeline because it's too close to MMZ's to happen.
>>282098775Force Metal timeline is X7, X8, and CM which takes place during the same century as MMZ. Both the Force Metal timeline and MMZ all split off from X6. The X5 ending where X goes on to create Elysium is never explored as a timeline.
Remember them?
I need more of her.
>>282099297Very homoerotic relationship, unless the anime version were a girl. Definitely had a female voice.
99.9% of anime adaptations don't do the source material any justice
>>282087605the whole "sigma somehow returned" thing could be trimmed a little, but i think that actually worked for the story of the games. it wasn't just "oh yeah sigma is back", it usually added to the growing darkness of the x erafor example, i like that by x6 sigma is more of a zombie desperately clinging to life and feels less like a menace that can come back to life infinitely. during x1 it feels like an on-going conflict while x5 is just dark as shit with the whole "yeah humanity is doomed, the war isn't ending and it's basically just x and zero against the world" while they have to put their old maverick hunters to misery. obviously for an adaptation that could be trimmed, but i think it adds to the growing darkness of the story to see the maverick hunters slowly lose their ranks until it's just x
>>282095635Realistically, no, because it would be like MM11, just another episode of "Sigma is back" instead of just giving closure to the saga, which is what people actually want for the classic and X sagas, just give them a conclusion the way the Zero saga did.The stories are already written. Ideally, Capcom would make a game (a collection or something idk) that includes a final game for MM and MMX, each connecting to the next saga, but not only it won't ever happen, even if it does, it will be just another entry that either retcons what was known or is just mediocre.
>>282100205X should start the Elf Wars arc, that alone could be worth multiple games so there you go, X gets a new roadmap/goal for the next 1 or 2 decades.
>>282095635Yes, I'm sick of Zero and Classic wank.
>>282095635No because it would just be another Axl game
>>282100565>X should start the Elf Wars arc, that alone could be worth multiple gamesNo it couldn't. It would equate to Zero mindlessly cutting down those hordes of Pantheons at the intro stage of Zero 2 while commenting how it isn't fun anymore after a while. That's literally how the Elf Wars went but with X.
Something I learned from the Ratchet and Clank movie is that they inherent problem with video game adaptations is that no matter how good or bad they are, all they really make you want to do is play the game instead. It's interesting in theory but it's more of a novelty.
Would splatterhouse make for a good horror anime?
Anime adaptations of video games are a waste of time, better for the anime to be its own story set in the same setting like how Edgerunners did it. Though Edgerunners is actually an adaptation of the Cyberpunk 2.0.2.0. tabletop game set before 2077 the game
>>282087117I have fond memories of Megaman NT Warrior, but I'm not sure if it's just nostalgia blinding me.
>>282100665You can literally make an original anime based on all the "plot beats" from Splatterhouse and people wouldn't even recognize it as Splatterhouse. Most older video games have very thin stories that are just there to support the gameplay a bit.
>>282100686Seems like it did its own thing in the same setting.Somebody post the pantsu webm
>>282100686The fact that you call it "Megaman NT Warrior" and not "Rockman EXE" means it's definitely just nostalgia. The show wasn't great to begin with, but holy fuck that dub was bad.
>>282100686It was your typical hobby anime, it doesn't stand out much beyond being a Megaman show. Not bad but not really memorable either, later seasons also fell into the same trap of trying to be like Super Sentai because it was more popular at the time.
>>282098077>Corruptedmore like Mega Man X: Silksong
>>282087117since Zelda is getting the live action treatment, my hopes for a Metroid anime have gotten up
>>282098135>>282098356The Zero games were meant to be a continuation of X5, but then Capcom actually made an X6 and fucked up the entire connection. So the Zero games got retconned into "alternate timeline" by pure necessity.
>>282100665>>282100683It's not that different from Devilman, really.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJeM8G89jOE&list=PLjoA68PhRz0tDrdOzNxL-IdWApPP36r_4&index=9x series deserved an anime so badthey sorta tried in mmx4 but that was itand the psp x1 remake got an ova
>>282100938>The Zero games were meant to be a continuation of X5, but then Capcom actually made an X6 and fucked up the entire connection.X6 is the only game that actually bothered to connect the X series to the Zero series. X5 did fuck all to do that literally because Inafune told the devs to just make X5 the last one and then fucked off to Inticreates for the Zero series, giving them absolutely no input regarding the overall series as a while. The Zero series was always an alternate timeline. Megaman X literally did it before the Zero series, it was intended as an alternate timeline to the Classic series if the Classic series never had an ending. That's why you get a time traveling Dr. Wily, a future Megaman, all each have no mention of reploids or Mavericks or the X era in general for that matter.
>>282101244Why are her boobs so big when she's not intended to be sexy?
>>282101347not him but zero series taking place after x5 is common knowledge.x also starts after classic ends but it never got an ending. wily shows zero to bass in power battles.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-byDNFnfakthe fan cannon was zero kills classic cast but this was shut down by inafune
>>282101508>not him but zero series taking place after x5 is common knowledge.I'm just telling you the events that happened. I don't care if Inafune INTENDED for the Zero series to take place after X5. X5 has absolutely no endings that lead into the Zero series because Zero is dead in every single one of them. Also the arcade games aren't canon. That's common knowledge.
>>282087117You just had one
>>282101832Kill Adi Shakar
>>282087605You think? Each game is far too formulaic. There's no way you can make it work as a show. Instead, it's better to heavily restructure and recontextualize everything while still keeping to the spirit of it all.>Season 1: First episode starts with Cain finding X's capsule, followed by a timeskip. The first cour is semi-episodic, mainly dealing with X and Zero's lives as Maverick Hunters. Sigma's still the leader of the Hunters. Use certain Mavericks from later games for a few villain-of-the-week plots, like Burn Dinorex being a black market weapons dealer they need to bring down, or Bubble Crab abusing his authority as a Hunter for some illegal money-making scheme. Meanwhile, there's this ongoing subplot where weird shit's happening and something seems to be bubbling under the surface. First season with Sigma revealing himself as the mastermind and kickstarting his rebellion. Vile is a regular character. He's still a Hunter, but his behavior is increasingly erratic and violent until he finally just goes off the rails. Storm Eagle is also established as an honorable and friendly Hunter to further enhance the tragedy when X has to defeat him.>Season 2: Zero is now the interim leader of the Hunters after Sigma's defection. He and X and struggling to deal with the rebellion, as most of their top-ranked Hunters went with Sigma. Much of the episodes involves trying to find Sigma while also dealing with shit his followers are doing. Season ends with X defeating Sigma and Zero in a "coma" of sorts (not outright dead but no one knows how to fix him).
>>282101006That would be like saying shin megami tensei is not that different from devilman.
>>282087117I love megaman, but all the animated X stuff was very cringe. It's just one of those things where the story has to be told through the games, Zero series being a good benchmark for how much to cram into a given game.
>>282095052I played the first two and one of Copen's games and I didn't get any of this take. The first game has a pretty good twist at the end, but they immediately squander it with the second game. I don't know why they had such a hard-on for Copen but he completely derails everything, and the story reduces itself to gunvolt playing the straight man among a sea of caricatures. The game barely remembers to pretend that it has a "bleak setting"; the plot literally revolves around butterfly themed jpop idol whose singing is so inspirational, it can make adepts more powerful, or mind control them, or whatever the fuck the plot needs, inti doesn't care as long as they get an excuse to draw her some more.There was definitely some potential there, if gv or copen or any of the bosses had substantial interactions, but there is nothing but pre-fight arguing, dry "mission confirmed" comments, or "I must save joule".>>282095242>>282098180Take this girl for example. Her power is to make copies of herself and literally resurrect the dead with no strings attached. There's no hints about her being a good person or having a sadistic personality beaten into her - she is just the crazy snake girl with a recovery gimmick. Gunvolt never reflects on her for a single moment after the battle, and even Nova, who is the only character in the entire franchise who appears to consider the consequences of his actions, is never shown lamenting the loss of such a powerful asset. It's just slop Inti shat out to squeeze a little more out of their mega man engine after capcom got tired of their gooner shit.>>282098356This is an actual crime.
>>282089657A Xenogears anime would be great if SE has no intention of ever remaking or porting the game.
>>282104313>This is an actual crime.You're retarded.
>>282104437brownoid detected
>>282104481>MMZfag>calling anybody a brownoidYou're both retarded and lack self awareness.
>>282104516faggot detected
>>282104313It's pretty much following the format of X/Zero games, not all bosses are going to have detailed backstories and interactions, they have enough context to give a sense of worldbuilding (a decent amount of the logistics and flavor is actually exposed mid-mission with the navigation dialogue) but there's still a brevity to their impact in the story, this is still following the kill 8 bosses structure after all.Even if you look back at games like MMZ, the regular bosses had a participation similar to this, it's the four guardians and other recurring bosses that got an overarching plot, probably because you didn't kill them after one fight (excluding the ninja bro).
>>282087117Inazuma Eleven was kino.>>282101429If you design girl robots then might as well give them assets.
>>282087605MegaMan X would have been the perfect Metroidvania. Are people at Capcom stupid?
Remember netflix's tekken anime? Is there gonna be another season or is that just it?
>>282104313As far as Elise goes, even in the game, it's spelled out that badguys fucked her up. You run into another human experiment in another stage who has a similar story. Maybe you played the first translation, which cut that and just made her evil. It was such a bad translation that INTI replaced it with the fansub in a later patch.The second game did not get a redo, so the bad localization remains. They made the evildoers more evil and the good guys more gooder. Like Copen is way more racist in the original script, using terms like vermin, rats, degenerate, genetically inferior, etc., which was considered too spicy. Gunvolt has anger issues in the original script. As an example:>向かってくるなら、 容赦は出来ないんだ!>Jap GV: If you stand against me, I won't show any mercy!changed to>Eng GV: I don't want to fight, but you leave me no choice!Or when he states that even if asked, he will not show mercy.Some of the badguys more sympathetic lines get cut as well, recontextualizing them to be more insane or evil. The loli villain in particular was made far more bitchy, and they gave her a bit of a two-face where she becomes a lot more sleazy and sadistic when her followers aren't around, and imply she was just using them to get godhood. Some examples:or>Maybe you, who lives in this peaceful nation, cannot understand it but…Psychics and Non-Psychics… The age in which we could hold hands together ended long ago… This is our only survival strategy… And there is no love… No mercy… For those who oppose that… to>Your innocence is almost charming... Adepts and non-adepts are already at war! They cannot coexist! We will show our enemies no love. >If my comrades desire it, then I might consider calling myself a Goddess. to>Let's just say I'm strongly considering it.But yeah, it's retarded that they stick 90% of stuff into the side material. INTI did the same with MMZ. Their lore ends up reading like a schitzopost later on though, so nothing seriously lost.
>>282104952MMZ does not pretend that the non-guardian bosses are anything other than war machines. X series pays lip service to the concept that not all mavericks are actually evil, but again they are ALL clearly war machines, and across 8 games, only Iris can truly be considered a victim. Gunvolt wants to have it both ways, and it just doesn't work. It's very obvious that they didn't have any story planned out past the first game, to the point that it almost feels like they forgot what even happens in the first game.
>>282105257I understand there's extra shit that makes them oh so sad, but I don't care. Even if some of them were hot JKs, they're still a bunch of scumbags whose death bettered the world.
>>282105257>/v/ still has to deal with localization botchjobsMakes me happy that anime moved past that after the 90s.
>>282104313>There's no hints about her being a good person or having a sadistic personality beaten into her - she is just the crazy snake girl with a recovery gimmick.?Also, Gunvolt doesn't reflect on any of his kills because he doesn't see his enemies as human.
>>282105451I remember avoiding killing the bosses too quickly so I could see more of their mid-battle dialogue.It also happens to a lesser extent in stages, but there are some nudgets of lore/characterization that you can miss if you speedrun to quick.
>>282105257I played them when they first came out. Isn't their trailor narrator their translator or something? I actually really liked the style of the dialogue, with gunvolt's pseudo-noir narration style and the racism. Some of the lines were very memorable, like Nova's transformation making Gunvolt think Copen might have been right calling them monsters, or Asimov casually referring to Copen as a primate. I'm not one of those guys who cares about "original intent" or whatever. If they sold it to me, that's the story I read.Burying shit in side materials is a bad habit, but there's no comparing the scale at which Gunvolt does it to any of the Mega Man franchises. In Zero series you'll get trivial bits about the guardians originally being designed for terraforming the earth, or minor curiosities like how Elpizo found out about the existence of the dark elf, but nothing that's actually important.>>282105451The line before this, Gunvolt outright states that the evil version is the product of her Septima. I interpreted picrel as her plan, not Sumeragi's, which has clearly lost control of her. Frankly, none of it makes any sense. You fight her in a warehouse, where you are investigating "ghost stories" which just so happens to be the facility that holds her, where she has conveniently killed and resurrected all the guards just before you arrived, before suppressing the alter-ego and wandering 10 feet down the hallway before you run into her. Also for some reason even though Sumeragi's supposed plan to give her another personality is unfinished, she has a glaive? She is just the crazy split personality snake girl, there was no more thought given to her than that.> Also, Gunvolt doesn't reflect on any of his kills because he doesn't see his enemies as human....what? He most certainly does think of them as human. Hell, he thinks of Copen as a human.>>282105504The mid-fight dialogue was very slick, one of the best parts of the game. Of course everyone hated it.
>>282105789> I'm not one of those guys who cares about "original intent" or whatever. If they sold it to me, that's the story I read.That's fine, but you probably won't find many who'd agree on /a/. The poster you responded to was clearly basing his interpretation of the fan translation. It would be like going into the One Piece, Dragonball, or any of the other shonenshit generals and critiquing using the dub. Admittedly, the dialogue flows a lot better in the localization than the fan translation, even if it fucks up the characters.
>>282105451>Anime of gv>Cucks cyan to death by s2Kys gv and copium
>>282105895Always saw her as a sister (they were even from the same experimental batch, even if neither knew) and has boring tastes in women.
>>282105789>You fight her in a warehouse, where you are investigating "ghost stories" which just so happens to be the facility that holds her, where she has conveniently killed and resurrected all the guards just before you arrived, before suppressing the alter-ego and wandering 10 feet down the hallway before you run into her. Well it's a bit of a parody of spooky games like Resident Evil or something, you're in a spooky dark stage, then you get a short escort mission before the twist that she turns on you.
>>282095052It'd be hilarious to have Copen/Acura as the main character since it'd just be pure racism
>>282105937Apparently, his viewpoint is how most normies in-setting feel.
