Topic: Anime & Manga (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

I think it would be a good idea, hell even the nes game twinbee had a anime so something good like cave story should have a ova, but it costs money and stuff so it would be a no go unless it was at high demand.

@undead_terror
Never said it was feasible, I just said it would be nice. I mean it has a lengthy story for a one man indie game, and a good one at that. I think it could be easily translated into a 3-7 episode OVA, maybe longer or shorter.

I dunno, I thought Cave Story's atmosphere and gameplay was better than its story. I don't see them making anything special out of a Cave Story OVA. Especially since people expect a lot out of OVAs today. They practically have full series budgets these days. Even ONAs that aren't shorts can have extremely high standards...

I know, im just pointing out.

@CanisWolfred & @undead_terror
Ya, I don't see it happening, just thought it'd be a fun idea.

Actually, I was trying to say that even if they could make it, it probably wouldn't be that good...

@CanisWolfred
Oh...why's that?

I thought I would just post this vid just to show what Twinbee is like since I was talking about it.... I would say im not amused but I never watched the vid that I just posted.

@undead_terror
Twinbee had no plot, it was a vertical scrolling shoot 'em up, Cave Story actually has a plot, and a good one might I add.

There is a plot...it's called imagination (unless there was a story in the manual), but they made a ova as previously stated.

@undead_terror
I know, I know. Back when most games had next to no plot, they still made shows out of them.

I watched the final part of Mad Bull 34 tonight on YouTube!

The corny fanservice & gore continue. The concept of this final part even got in on the zaniness, as instead of the general crooked cops, drug smugglers, and crime syndicates found within the first 3 parts, this one featured a comic book style super villain as the antagonist (and it was a riff on the Predator as well, lol).

Mad Bull even used a mech at one point, to try and combat them, lol.

...because it would be difficult to make a story about a platformer whose plot can be summed up in a few paragraphs (unless it was just one episode or they added a who lot of stuff), and that they'd have difficulty conveying the atmosphere and action of the game.

I haven't played Cave Story yet but I'm not sure if it's art style would be well suited to being adapted into an anime.

I'll have to agree with @Canis & @Fonist on their sentiments about a Cave Story OVA.

The sprite based look provided lots of the game's charm, and I'm not sure how they'd convey that in anime form (I could almost see it getting a similar reaction to Cave Story 3D, the retail release, where many fans said it lost most of it's charm).

As for the story, it's great for an indie game, but they'd probably have to spread things out to make it a decent length, which would either mean a slower pace (which wouldn't be fitting of the property), or filler content (which could be a gamble, quality wise).

They did make OVAs of older games, like TwinBee as stated, but those games had little to no plot, meaning there wasn't as much of a risk to ruin an established story.

Ya...I guess you're right....I just think it is a good plot.

Darker than Black has been my primary anime i am watching,it was Fairy Tail but the filler has started to bore me.

Watching FMA the most, watching Bleach and One Piece about equal, off and on rewatching Death Note, and starting Attack on Titan.

@Rocko52 I am going to start watching Attack on Titan after this episode of DTB finishes. The anime looks real awesome

By the way FMA is one of my fave animes. Are you rewatching it or watching it for the first time
