Good for Funimation. I never played it, but it seemed pretty popular. Plus I know BioWare does good work from the Baldur's Gate series. Hopefully this will be a successful move.

Here's that co-production of a domestic franchise with a built-in fanbase....

Any information on which studio will be doing the animation? Will it even be in Japan? I don't see any discussion of the languages, either. I'm guessing it will be in English and marketed primarily in R1?
Can it be called an "anime" if it's not animated by a Japanese studio? |

I'm a huge Dragon Age fan, so I'm really excited about this.
I always considered anime to be a style thing rather than a geographic thing. If Evangelion was animated in Italy but was exactly the same other than that, would we really say that Evangelion doesn't count as anime? That seems a little silly to me. |

Evangelion falls deftly into the genre anime regardless of the level of animation down in Italy or not.
Without knowing whether or not the studio that will be drawing the Dragon Age movie it could be just a hype statement to title it as anime. I am using the Western definition of the word to represent a particular style of drawing and story crafting from Japan. The hype-machines for companies seem to be trying to changed the conventional meaning of the word anime to just a buzzword for "hip" drawings. So Evangelion is an anime while Boondocks and Avatar are not. |
