WolfOD64 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 As a long time anime and manga enthusiast (don't panic just yet...I'm mostly a Seinen person, with an affinity for more mature works like Ghost in the Shell, Vagabond, Hellsing, Lone Wolf and Cub, and Berserk), there are numerous video games I always thought would make spectacular anime, OVA, anime film, whatever. So I present the query to all of you, Star Fox fans new and old: How would you like to see a Star Fox anime done? 1. Which animation studio do you think should make it? 2. Which story arc would you want to see them animate, or what kind of story would you want the anime to focus on if taking place outside the current canon? 3. How would you like to see it animated? Is there a specific style you think they should integrate? 4. Which game do you think the character models and world should try to resemble? 5. Who should voice the characters? The original cast from one of the games, or some of the big dub names from all over the anime industry (Johnny Young Bosch, Mary Elizabeth McGlenn, Crispin Freeman, etc.)? At this point, the only input I can personally give, is this: -I'd like to see Studio MadHouse animate it, using the merge of animation and CG to produce the space battles, similar to how the Gundam Series has in the past. -I'd like the visual style to replicate Assault in terms of locale and vessels, but the characters to sport their garb and attire from the SNES era -I'd prefer a standalone or interquel plot rather than an adaption of any currently existing game What about you guys? What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drasiana Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 A prequel OVA would be nice and whatever puts it to the closest approximation of Cowboy Bebop or Trigun stylistically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOneSonicBro Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Oh goodness, I can't seem to find or remember the video, but there was a YouTube video on this website a few years back that had a fan-made intro of a Star Fox anime, it looked amazing. If my memory seems to be correct, I would think that art style would be nice for a Star Fox anime. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gestalt Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I do wish I had downloaded the thing done by the person who worked for the studio that made him take it down, or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drasiana Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Was that the one by the guy who jokingly drew Peppy as a giant musclebound dude? Because that was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layeyes Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I would love it to be like straight up Animated in a similar style to that of "Gurren Lagann, with a good budget, Studio Trigger would make a sick Star Fox Anime, OVA. I would cry immensely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sapphire Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Star Fox has tons of potential for an Anime, just look at how long Nintendo has dragged the beloved Pokemon franchise. By the way, Layeyes, the bottom picture of your signature is something I would be highly pleased with a Star Fox anime looking like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layeyes Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Lol I just Im a huge fan of Imaishi Hiroyuk (director) and Yoshinari You (Designer) they worked on, and Directed Gurren Lagann, FLCL, Kill la Kill, worked little witch of Arcania. I spend time studying his style and try to emulate. Alot of my Starfox designs are stem a bit from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was pretty cool... If I were to have a Star Fox opening, I'd have it sung by T.M. Revolution, or Kelun... ...or if I had a LOT of money, I'd get Susumu Hirasawa to sing it. Haha...SIGH...and the fanboy dreams continue... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfOD64 Posted April 26, 2014 Author Share Posted April 26, 2014 Do you mean by any chance? Or this scene It's more in the style of an American cartoon, like the kind that used to air on Cartoon Network a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, if Nintendo commissioned you to make a Star Fox anime in the style of Gurren Lagann, they'd do themselves a blessing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred stopped this because of his fear of getting a C&D, right? Or am I off quite a bit? His whole idea and art style of a Star Fox series would have been absolutely perfect.

Star Fox Runner Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I'm a big fan of Madhouse after watching Trigun, Black Lagoon, and Summer Wars, so I think them doing the animation on a Star Fox anime would be fantastic. Although, Production IG would be a good fit as well, considering they have experience with flight and aerial combat scenes. They did do the cutscenes for the japanese version of Ace Combat 3, and the movie The Sky Crawlers (plus the cutscenes for the companion game Sky Crawlers Innocent Aces) As for story, a standalone story would be great, or a prequel story about James. (Also, if they were to include all three, NO fricking love triangle with Fara, Krystal, and Fox. Pick one couple and role with it) With Nintendo loosening their grip on their properties being marketed out, the chances of a Star Fox anime have gone up, but I would STILL say it's slim to none at best. PS. Gainax would be great, but considering how far out there FLCL and Gurren Lagann got (though they were both FANTASTIC anime), not to mention Panty and Stocking, them doing Star Fox might get a little TOO weird.

Layeyes Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 A Star Fox anime that looked and functioned like this would be nice: This reminds me of Redline (Madhouse). Although I would definately be satisfied in a StarFox Anime of this qual. Although F-ZERO would be outragiouesly sick if it was done in the same style as REDLINE. Here's an earlier concept for SFLL (in attempts of making it as SF anime like as possible.) We sort of attempted in a similar REDLINE Stylization in the Arwing and Space Ships designs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZComposer Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 F-Zero actually had an Anime.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7f2UFKZiaY Y U NO MAKE STARFOX ANIME WHEN U MAKE F-ZERO ANIME?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarFoxfan-FUR_ever Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Of course the only issue with the F-Zero anime was that it completely screwed around with the series canon. I have no problem adding characters to the roster featured in F-Zero X, especially if they are intended to tie up loose ends, but I do have a problem with changing backstories (or ignoring the original intended backgrounds of characters) and creating alignments between characters who should have nothing to do with each other. Other than that, I think the anime was enjoyable as a standalone work even if the pacing of the story felt it could have been refined at times. Right, Im on SF-O...........as for a SF anime, why not simply create one surrounding the SF64 timeline just to see how people react to it, and then branch out from there?

Drasiana Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Didn't they have an episode of the F-Zero anime that was pretty much the prologue to Star Fox, just with James' F-Zero counterpart? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, and if you want to see the episode again, the title of the episode is simply "James McCloud". Granted its going to be in Japanese because the English dub didnt reach that episode so yeah.... The one scene that I recall seeing from it; *scene of Falcon Punch* This is proof that the Falcon Punch is clearly nerfed for its usage in Smash Bros 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layeyes Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 F-Zero actually had an Anime. - Y U NO MAKE STARFOX ANIME WHEN U MAKE F-ZERO ANIME?! Yeah still not a fan of Rick Wheeler, FZERO would have been way more likable if it looked like REDLINE (would be ridiculous hardcore studio production tho). Its just when I watch REDLINE I'm like yeah this should of have been what a F-ZERO Anime should look like at it's full potential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
