Why didn't Nintendo make a Zelda anime back or now in the day? Wouldn't that have been free money?
>>287569220Why would they?
>>287569220Well excuse me, princess!
>>287569220anime doesn't make money, zelda is already popular enough
anime is advertisement for other things.a Zelda anime wouldn't have the same reach as a simple tv advert, although it would be a bit cheaper.
>>287569220they were burned by the original mario movie and are very adverse to risk
Its a good thing they didn't because it would have probably been an adaptation of Ocarina of Time, one of the absolute worst piece of shit games in all of video game history.
>>287569743arin hanson, what are you doing on /a/, you should be doing lets plays or something
>>287569316More money>>287569651Zelda ANIME, tighter control and so on.
>>287569913>More moneyanon. anime makes no money. what do you not understand about this?
The real money is in merch, not anime, anime even at its best for popularity is just advertising for the things with higher yield. Zelda has no need for an anime, it has a popularity where an anime wouldn't serve as advertising. Yes they made a pokemon anime, but pokemon is extremely well suited to merch sales, and doesn't need some complex storyline, it's a very simple story that can be continued indefinitely. Zelda would need a specific story setup to be a hit, and if it wasn't a hit it would be pure cost with no gains.
The REAL question is where the fuck is the (modern) Fire Emblem anime.
>fucking Gunvolt will get an anime>MMZ won't
>>287570906>capcom anime
>>287569220Why won't nintendo launch a Zelda themed cereal box? Wouldn't it be free money?
>>287570925dmc '07 was good, and no, I'm not saying that because the shitflix version sucked
>>287569651they just made a mario movie a few years ago that grossed over a billion dollars. the live action mario is ancient history.
>>287569945who pays for anime if anime makes no money? who is throwing dollars away?
>>287572155Production committees that fund anime often include a bunch of different groups with various interests. Television studios who want something to fill timeslots, various companies that manufacture merchandise, manga and light novel publishers seeking to boost the sales of the ip, or produce related manga and light novels, music companies selling soundtracks, ad companies seeking product placement opportunities. Most anime make back about what they cost to produce, and the studios that produce them typically just accept funding for the production while giving up profit for stability, while the other related companies make a small profit from each aspect that they work on. Popular video games don't really need an anime to make profit in those areas.
>>287569220>Demon Kingisekai much?
>>287569220There was that LTTP manga by the guy who drew Cyborg 009
>>287569220Nintendo made the mistake of thinking that American cartoons were a better path than Japanese anime, and went down that route to little avail. A Zelda anime in the 90s would have done very well. Too bad we didn't get it.
