Given the fact that the two of these game series are extremly popular in Japan and also given that its seems as though koei wants to get every dollar possible of the warriors franchise, do you think that there is any possibilty for Dynasty and Samurai Warriors to be made into an anime series?

Wow you sure do like these games, but so do I. Wink

Anyway, I doubt it, but I wouldn't dismiss the idea immediately. First they'd have to decide how to tell the story. Do they want to go all historical, or do they want to make it more fictional with the a little history mixed in (a la Rurouni Kenshin)?

I'm not much of a history buff on the 3 Kingdoms and Sengoku jidai other than what I've seen in the games, but I've seen various anime that have mixed in a little bit of these elements already (am currently watching Samurai Deeper Kyo, but I think all of that stuff is mostly fiction).

All in all though, I guess it just depends on who's willing to put the money into such a large project. I mean, they do have to cover at least a minimum of a hundred years for either era, so they'd need lots of money to make it look and sound good.

I have another post somewhere on these forums that mentions my idea for how the a 3 Kindoms anime could be made. I think I wanted Madhouse to do the animation, the music to be co-composed by Noriyuki Asakura, Kaoru Wada, and maybe Yoko Kanno, and with dozens of voice actors from various other titles.

It's a fat chance this will ever happen, but you never know, I guess... Rolling Eyes.
