Anime Leader to Create Home Video Adaptation of Award-Winning Video Game Franchise “Dragon Age”

BioWare, an EA studio and FUNimation Entertainment, the leading distributor of Japanese animation in North America, announced today an agreement to create an anime feature film adapted from BioWare’s critically-acclaimed fantasy Action RPG franchise Dragon Age. Production of the Dragon Age anime movie is slated to begin in May 2010, with a home video release in 2011. Executive producing the film are Bioware’s Executive Producer MarkDarrah and Creative Director Mike Laidlaw, as well as FUNimation’s Fukunaga and Director of Original Entertainment Chris Moujaes.

“Anime is a great medium for us to continue the robust Dragon Age story,” said Mark Darrah, Executive Producer for the Dragon Age franchise. “Partnering with FUNimation ensures that we are delivering the exceptional quality and entertainment value that our Dragon Age fans expect.”

“We are thrilled to be working with EA and BioWare on the production of the Dragon Age anime feature,” said Gen Fukunaga, President and CEO of FUNimation. “We are going to be bringing the classic visual and storytelling techniques found in anime to create a film that will extend the narrative of the world BioWare has created.”

Dragon Agehas been selected as the first title in FUNimation’s slate of major anime movies to be developed through FUNimation’s Original Entertainment team since the announcement of the company’s co-production initiative in November 2009.

When originally released in 2009, Dragon Age: Origins won over 30 critics awards and was named “RPG of the Year” by the Academy of Arts and Interactive Sciences, Game Informer, G4, SpikeTV, and PC Gamer. Seth Schiesel of The New York Times described the game as “…perhaps the best electronic game made yet.”

Re: Dragon Age ANIME

If it ends up like Dead Space: Downfall, it may be somewhat decent. I'm more concerned over the voice roles, if it's the original cast from the game I may be interested but if it's FUNimation's team then I'll pass. FUNimation isn't exactly known for doing "excellent" work.

Not sure why everyone is getting so upset over this, it's not like you're forced to watch the show. Stay away from it, ignore it, and there will be no problems.

It's going to be awful and it's going to ruin the reputation of the game, and even if it's not completely awful it's still just EA trying to make a quick buck

Without a patch, the game's/Bioware's reputation is already ruined.

We want a patch damn it.

It'll only damage the image of the game for those who have never played it but have seen the anime first, those who have played it can simply not acknowledge the anime's existence and go about their business.

For those who've never played it, they'll probably Google the game anyway and see how superior it is to the animation. It's not that big of a deal.

The Dead Space movie was horrible. It took a big dump on the lore established in the game.

Anime is the stupidest thing ever to be "invented".

If it was person I would roundhouse in the back of the face.

Now now, not all Anime shows are bad, just 90% of them.

Re: Dragon Age ANIME

You guys are pretty ignorant, aren't you? Most of the animated diarrea the industry calls "anime" these days is just stupid western-styled animation trying to capture the spirit of the real deal, only to fail miserably. Like just about any DC/Marvel comic shown on Cartoon Network, i.e Teen Titans.

The main problem is that after Pokémon, anime became "the next big thing" and everyone was all too eager to cash in on the sensation.

You seem oblivious to the spam of mediocre Anime that often spawns in Japan (making you ignorant yourself), attempting to overshadow well-crafted animations with exceptional writing. There's a lot of animations in Japan with bland writing and average to sub-par voice acting that try to cash in on what's popular. They're not much better than the Western wannabes.

Re: Dragon Age ANIME

I'm well aware of the crap, but I chose to not aknowladge it which, ironically, doesn't make me ignorant...?

And I blame the success of the western crap for the creation of the Japanese crap, since they'd be stupid not to benefit from it.

Re: Dragon Age ANIME

I gave up on anime after I ran out of adult dramas and since Hellsing is now taking an OVA every twelve years it seems.
