Ottservia Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 A sort of off shoot of the "which route would an anime adapt?" thread. I propose the question if three houses were to get an anime which studio would you trust best to properly handle such a task? Personally I'd go with Madhouse, Bones, or Ufotable because of their high production values and I feel FE fits the studios' identity.

Sentinel07 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I really like Wit Studios. Bones as a runner up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flere210 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Bones needs to take no project so they can focus on a glorious Chainsawman adaptation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BZL8 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Bones, Ufotable, and WIT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanguard333 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I haven't seen much anime, so I'm going to say Bones, just because I know they did Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinskyHaaz Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I'd prefer a live-action Game of Thrones style show on HBO 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberNinja Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Probably Ufotable since that's the only name I recognize and they do good work- 18 hours ago, vanguard333 said: I haven't seen much anime, so I'm going to say Bones, just because I know they did Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

My money was on that they would force George R. R. Martin to sit down and finish the books so they can make Game of Thrones: Brotherhood.

He'd be a good fit for that(I can't think of any other directors atm that would fit maybe Ito hmm). Or you could just bring in Gen Urobuchi to write an original anime series based on some world building element or something(like Edelgard's past for instance). Now if you want dark and gritty that is the man you should be asking.

Gordin Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Whichever one that'll make the ending a full version of the song Dorothea sings about Edelgard in their C support in the Crimson flower route. If they did CF and did not use that as the ending I'd be dissappointed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefyingFates Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) KyoAni. I don't know much about their history with action scenes, but they'd nail the emotion, characters and storytelling perfectly and make everything look and sound amazing to boot without using the adaptation process as an excuse to produce 50 episodes of cheap fanservice shots. Looking at you, A1. It helps that KyoAni is the greatest studio of all time in my personal opinion, of course 😛 Edited November 19, 2019 by DefyingFates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Emblem Three Houses lacks the things I associate with cartoons. Unhinged fantasy, clear antagonists, a talking animal sidekick. Plus near 100% of the non-battle scenes occur in the monastery which really helps the set budget. And all the characters being humans wielding martial weapons gives the show a smaller CGI budget than the average superhero serial. And the costuming is only as elaborate as what you'd see at a Renaissance Faire. When it comes to Fire Emblem, live action all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and I have very different definitions of ‘cartoon’ aesthetics then cause when I think Fire Emblem I think Shounen anime(with a hint of shoujo and seinen here or there) cause FE is very deeply rooted in that anime aesthetic and live action adaptations of these sorts of things tend to not turn out very well.

I thought their rough draft turned out pretty well. I'd suggest comparing this to the 90s Fire Emblem OVA and deciding which one you'd want to watch more, but a two and a half minute trailer with no dialogue isn't a fair comparison to a two episode pilot. Still, it's a strong case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I just associated them with the Animes for their works since they were the common thread. I mean to say that something in the visual style of a Code Geass, Tsubasa Chronicles, or X/1999 would be particularly good for Three Houses. If I were to pick one of the studios that worked on their animes, probably Madhouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, it's a strong case. you're comparing a ninties anime with the budget, staff, and animation of something akin to a seventies cartoon with a modern trailer with 10x the amount of budget and staff. That's not a fair comparison no matter how you slice it. I also don't appreciate the fact that you seem to be implying that animation is not as "good" of a medium as "live action" because animation is far more capable than what you seem to be giving it credit for. I mean just look at the opening cutscene to 3H which has amazing animation, lighting, and choreography. Not to mention the fact that if you went live action a lot of things that makes 3H great on an aesthetic level would be lost. Like the characters' designs and expressiveness for example. Wanna know why anime characters have such big eyes? It's so that they can be more expressive which is something you just can't get in live-action. In my opinion 3H would just be better off as an anime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oof, that's a sketchy claim. You know how much more expensive animation used to be? Now they do it on computers. Heck I was doing it on computers ten years ago.
