Here's a first look at the anime designs from FUNimation themselves. This is from SXSW at Austin. It confirms that the anime is coming out late 2012, and that it will be a 2D production from Production IG instead of a 3DCG one like Dragon Age. You can see various designs for James Vega, the Geth, and various locations, aliens, weapons, etc. The video is also available in HD so you can see the designs in a higher resolution.

Note that while the FUNimation guy says that the character designer worked on Eureka Seven, it is definitely NOT Yoshida's work, so I don't really know who he's referring to. The art looks pretty generic anyway.

I have been lately replaying ME1 and I am now in Ilos.

Should I play (again) ME2 at all before playing ME3?

I am unsure

Edit: Apparently my post was moved from the ME3 Space Jesus thread to a new thread and is now totally off topic.

The site doesn't work and I get an "the uploader hasn't made the video available to your country" message.

Not only does the plot sound mediocre, but shouldn't this have come out before the game he's in that comes out in 4 days?

That's almost as long as James Franco was trapped!

Why?

I love Production IG though. Optimistic?

 

[haikira]

Guessing the Origin unlock date for the UK is the same as the street date, which is the 9th?

EDIT: Whoops. Had a few ME3 threads open at once and completely posted this in the wrong one.

There better be an equivalent of "Am I Kawaii? Uguuuu~~" scene in this.

 

[Anteater]

That youtube video or logo, or whatever it is isn't available in my country

 

[duckroll]

Lol! Can't wait to make 10 threads over the next year for this, just like the DRAGON AGE ANIME!

 

[darkside31337]

Why couldn't Production IG die instead of Madhouse

 

[Dresden]

Bioware keeps shoving these dull human characters at us when people just want to see Krogans blow shit up.

Production IG already made a Krogan anime though. It's their contribution to Halo Legends. Lol.

 

[zroid]

I could've sworn there were rumblings of a Mass Effect anime months ago.

...*checks*

Yep: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/pre...ainment-announce-mass-effect-anime-movie-deal

Pretty cool though, in any case. Unless it ends up being shit like those Marvel collabs.

edit: to be fair, seems like I.G's involvement is news. That's definitely exciting.

I'll take it because I'm an obsessed ME fanatic

We knew about the anime existing, but not the studio, nor the title and plot. So this, I guess, is the 'official' announcement.

 

[LuchaShaq]

If it centered around

Wrex and how Krogan unification is going?
Garrus?
Thane?
Illusive Man?
Liara?
Tali?
Shep?
Mordin?
Andersen trying to convince fools on the citadel shit's about to go down?
The fallout between Miranda/Jacob and Cerberus/Illusive Man?

Hell yes to all of those.

Vega voiced by fucking Freddy Prince Junior? No thanks just waiting for the first chance to put a bullet in the back of his+ Ashely's head.

 

[The Technomancer]

Did they really embed a YouTube video for a ten second clip of a logo?

 

[LethaL ImpuLse]

Haha someone doesn't know how to use flash.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

Bioware really likes their anime. At least this won't be shitty CG... hopefully.

Did you see Production IG's Halo Legends short? Lol.

 

[iavi]

I'm in.

 

[derFeef]

I am digesting everything Mass Effect, so why not.

 

[Darklord]

Bioware needs to stop with these trash anime spin-offs. The Dragon Age one is embarrassing.

 

[randomwab]

Can I get another Gackt theme, please?

If FUNimation is throwing money at their face, why should they say no?

No excuse to make them so shitty.

Oh boy region locked logos.

Well Bioware isn't making them.

 

[Hypertrooper]

"The uploader has not made this video available in your country."

Oh boy region locked logos.

You see a lot. You see the logo. You see BioWare's logo and Funimation's logo. And a big coming soon. Definitely mind blowing stuff.

Spoiler

other words: You missed nothing

 

[See You Next Wednesday]

Will it be an anthology of episodes like with the Matrix, Batman & Halo animes?

 

[duckroll]

No, it's a movie. Like the Dragon Age one.

 

[dethforce]

Did you see Production IG's Halo Legends short? Lol.

this was beyond aweful. also, did anyone see the second dead space anime. even saturday morning cartoons have better production values.

 

[Diablohead]

can't watch the youtube as it's not available in my country (uk) :/

 

[AlStrong]

It's just a video of the title screen/logo.

 

[Dennis]

What kind of demented super-fan would buy this?

 

[EatChildren]

I already have it pre-ordered and I don't even know from where.

 

[Metal Gear?!]

No excuse to make them so shitty.

I see you are unfamiliar with Videogame adaptations.

 

[neojubei]

I am digesting everything Mass Effect, so why not.

Same here. I just wish the anime centered on Aria or Miranda and Jacob.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Hope it looks better than the Dragon Age CG movie. That looks horrible.

 

[Typographenia]

I played the prequel to ME3 already. It was called ME2 (and the arrival dlc).


I'll gladly be passing on this, but thanks for the effort, EA.

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

Is this anime hand drawn animation or CG like the upcoming Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker?

 

[Flame Lord]

Really hope this won't be CGI like the Dragon Age anime, but I know it will be.

 

[Khezu]

Never been a huge fan of taking western things and making them into anime, doesn't help that most of them have been terrible, especially that really boring and blandly animated thundercats cartoon.

A couple of the animatrix shorts were alright though.

 

[AlimNassor]

Why does Bioware think we care about the Humans? That's what pisses me off about the Mass Effect series we only seem to focus on the Humans now, and then try to make the Aliens as human as possible. Nobody asked for James Vega. I hope I get a chance to kill him in-game.

 

[Htown]

What is it with Bioware and anime these days?
