I've got to say, it could be done as an anime and I dislike a lot (but not all) anime. A lot of conventions of the popular anime wouldn't work and would be dropped, but as Spanky said, its a genre broader than most of the drek that gets peddled on North American tv.

No, I did not say it's a genre, because it's not. I said that it was a medium that too many people apply reasoning to as if it were a merely a genre.
Animation is a medium, just like live-action motion film or television, music, or text are mediums.

Bakshi? Are you serious? Despite how much I love it, have you actually seen Wizards or some of his other stuff like the second Fritz the Cat movie? Bakshi can get extremely lazy and cartoonish at times.
Plus I don't think he's really done anything since the 1980s.

It may have been Eisenhorn or one of the anthologies, but it involved one of the plot characters getting busted in on while he was spending some quality time with a feline mutant.Rogue 9 wrote: Hence the quotes.

I think it can be done, I just don't want to see something happen like the Lensmen anime.

Short story. Forgot the exact title, but I think it may have been on Necromunda. Guy who ratted out his partner took the riches and spent 'em on whores; partner showed up after getting patched up to get his own back.Tasoth wrote:Why? It's already been done in a short story.

It's this simple. People want a basic idea of what type of animation used for 40K in keeping with it's angsty style?

I'm going to ignore Ghost Rider's post because it makes mine (which I have been planning since 7:30 am) kind of moot.
Space Marines and Warhammer 40K combat would work just fine as an animation. I mean if a guy with Flash can do this just picture what a real animation studio could do.

Hopefully a bit better since the budget will be expanded from Doritos and Ginger Ale to actual money. Although the Cardboard Box O' Space Marine was hillarious.Adrian Laguna wrote: Space Marines and Warhammer 40K combat would work just fine as an animation.

Anyone ever sen the funnier 40k Flash with the two Ultramarines bitching about The Emperor? The end is priceless.

Found it. They were actually Blood Angels, I think. Although there is an Ultramarine.

Jin Roh. Actually a pretty decent anime, and I enjoyed it's level of brutality and rather dismal setting.Adrian Laguna wrote:You know, when polite people talk about stuff that is potentially funny and/or entertaining, they provide links to it.

Strangely thought how they looked like primitive Space Marine, epsecially fully decked out.

He did 'Cool World', a movie with Kim Basinger as a Doodle (Toon) who wants to enter the Noid (human) world, in the early 1990s. It's understandable if you can't remember the movie, it was pretty crappy, with it's 15 minutes of fame being wasted putting Holly (Kim Basinger's character) on top of the Hollywood sign to advertise the movie.Spanky The Dolphin wrote:Bakshi?

Please do not make Americans fight giant monsters.
Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.
They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)

It might be better to have the chicks from the second picture in the movie.
Has anyone ever seen the models from GW. Practically everyone of them is male. One or two females. (and not really even good looking men either, they're all bald and look like Holocaust survivors mostly)
Seriously, unless we intend for this to be one of them, what's the Japanese word...oh i forget, but unless its gonna be one of them "Boy's Love" things (the anime people know what i'm talking about) then we'll need some actual anime chicks, realism be damned.
Otherwise it'll be a total sausage factory.

Actually, I have heard of that movie.
