The hair colors alone would cause debate and shipping is money for them.

They have their defaults from the mothers, which is standard for all their other appearances.

Just go loco and make GoT: Anime Edition out of it

So Genealogy of the Holy Wars? I like the way you think!

 

[DxD]

Just go loco and make GoT: Anime Edition out of it

Sure.
There are a lot of hints of incest in the game anyway...

 

[Sölf]

Just go loco and make GoT: Anime Edition out of it

So FE 4 anime confirmed!

 

[Neoxon]

I'd be down for it as long as there's an English dub (preferably by Funimation, though I'll also accept Viz Media).

 

[massoluk]

Why not

Bring Spike Spencer back as Marth!

 

[Neoxon]

Bring Spike Spencer back as Marth!

They'd probably go with Yuri Lowenthal. I think Spike Spencer voices someone else in the Fire Emblem franchise, now (correct me if I'm mistaken).

 

[Cow Mengde]

Yeah, he does. I forget who though. Still, he is attached to the franchise. Would be a nice nod to the series' strange history.

Oh god, it just hit me. What if the anime opens with a horrible JPop song instead of the Fire Emblem theme? Can you imagine how awful that would be?

 

[Raysoul]

Tokyo Mirage Sessions Anime confirmed

 

[WrenchNinja]

I fucking hope it's not about Shadow Dragon, Awakening or Fates

 

[ggx2ac]

I fucking hope it's not about Shadow Dragon, Awakening or Fates

Of course not, they'll kill two birds with one stone.

They'll pick the greatest story of all and, use it to push the mobile game.

Ergo, it will be a Fire Emblem Heroes anime.

 

[Neghis]

Ok but please don't base it on FE Heroes because that story is utter trash.

 

[Sölf]

Ok but please don't base it on FE Heroes because that story is utter trash.

Seeing what some anime adaptions did with the source material (aka Mobile game), I hope they use heroes. They can do so much with it. The best example would probably be Shingeko no Bahamut. That's one of the best fantasy shows from recent years and has barely anything to do with the mobile game it came from, aside from the setting. Show by Rock is another great example.

 

[psychowave]

I fucking hope it's not about Shadow Dragon, Awakening or Fates

What else would it be about? Those are the only games in the series.

Spoiler

:'(

 

[NightwingRebirth]

I hope it's base off Roy.


He's everyone's favorite

This, but unironically. Everyone's always talking shit about my boy, I'd appreciate an anime to give him a cooler characterization, at least as cool as he is in Smash.

I hope it's based on Awakening then.


Heroes doesn't really have a story and Fates is garbo.

I'll defend the Awakening story forever. It's not perfect but it's good, especially if you delve into the supports.

Yeah, I'm kinda with you hear. Awakening is a great idea for an anime adaptation, imo, it has defined arcs that wouldn't need to be fleshed out all that much because Awakening did a pretty good job with it.

Spoiler

pls give me an Echoes anime tho

 

[Lord of Ostia]

I am down for one. I never saw the original, but that was only a 2-part OVA if I am not mistaken.

Also, look no further than Arslan Senki. The anime adaption is basicall "Fire Emblem the anime" or as close as one we've gotten so far.

Yup, Heroic Legend of Arslan is incredibly similar to Fire Emblem, especially the older games, in terms of setting, characters, and stotytelling. Arakawa is the mangaka too, so the art is fantastic. If you are an FE fan, I highly recommend it.

I'd watch an FE anime. Hopefully not based on Fates, but practically any other game or set of characters and I'd be happy.

Edit: OK, I don't want one about Heroes either.

 

[Taruranto]

Spoiler: It will be awful.

 

[Pieman0920]

If it's anything, it's going to be Awakening. And really out of most of the options there, it probably would be for the best.

 

[Lunar15]

Do one based on heroes but make it a comedic slice of life where all these fire emblem characters are just living in a house.

Spoiler

I'm semi-serious.

 

[Erheller]

I got exclusive screen shots of the anime here. I know for a fact that it's Marth's story. It follows Marth from the fall of his kingdoms to him raising an army to fight back. It's going to be pretty faithful to the game. All the characters are there. I think the screens below are from the first episode.

Sorry if the image quality is a little low. They are leaked to me in private. Don't share them.

No pantless Marth no buy

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

I'm down

...Unless it's one of those "modern kid gets sucked into videogame world" adaptations.

That's basically what the Heroes story is and it'd be pretty easy to adapt to an anime with every episode or two being them going to a new world, so you might want to start praying.

 

[asagami_]

If they made an anime I would guess either Awakening or Heroes depending on what kind of project it was. They could do something like Carnival Phantasm to push Heroes or do adaptation of Awakening with the option of a Fates series because of their popularity.

THIS.

Honestly any Carnival Phantasm-esque anime is a MUST in my eyes.

Spoiler

Too bad this kind of projects happen more...in mangas.

 

[Pachael]

Do one based on heroes but make it a comedic slice of life where all these fire emblem characters are just living in a house.

Brings to mind the Awkward Zombie Smash 4 series. That was so good.

 

[NippleViking]

I hope they give it to Ufotable.

All style and no substance? No thanks

Give it to Mappa. They've already made an incredible series based on a mobile game (Attack on Bahamut), which was better than it had any right to be.

They have the chops for action, animation, characters, narrative, and pacing. And they've already worked extensively with this kind of genre.

 

[ASaiyan]

This could be fantastic if done right. Wonder when they'd make the official announcement

 

[SoldnerKei]

if true, I guess it will be CGI animation akin to the cutscenes from the games, tho I wouldn't mind if they make something like Pokemon Generations, an animated short for each game, that would be nice.

 

[Xbro]

Hopes and dreams would be FE4+5

Reality would be Awakening.

 

[Sterok]

Chrom and Ephraim better be best bros. And Nino should always be carrying Eirika around. And everyone should be terrified at the mere mention of Reinhardt. And give Hector some laser eyes. And make sure there are 40 Lucinas running around. Yeah, I'm in favor of Carnival Phantasm.

Mappa is also really good choice. I really enjoyed Rage of Bahamut.

 

[RRockman]

Step one.

Adapt Genology of the Holy War.

Step two,

Make big budget tie in game

Step three

????????

Step four

 

[Galang]

Will only watch if lucina is the lead. Sounds about time they made a new FE anime though. Took long enough after the success of the recent entries

 

[10k]

It's probably the most anime Nintendo franchise there is. I loved the Star Fox short too from last year.

 

[jwhit28]

I hope they do 1+3 if it happens. Those games need another chance at a remake as well because Shadow Dragon was a pretty terrible representation and the sequel from 3 was never officially translated.

 

[Gai Murakumo]

Step one.

Adapt Genology of the Holy War.

Step two,

Make big budget tie in game

Step three

????????

Step four

Geneaology in some aspects is similar to Game of Thrones. I would be down for an anime of FE 4 with some episodes that show what happens in FE 5.

 

[Falchion]

And they'll retell Marth's story of course. Because EVERYBODY loves Marth.

I would watch that.

 

[Thoraxes]

I mean, it could just be a bunch of shorts like Kid Icarus had, from a bunch of different studios used to promote a new game.

 

[MiguelMexMIstery]

And they'll retell Marth's story of course. Because EVERYBODY loves Marth.

Heck yeah

 

[SkyOdin]

If done right, an adaptation of Shadow Dragon could make for a good anime series. It could also make up for the failure of the DS remakes to introduce the stories and characters to broader audiences.
