Anime licenses that would work well with Western devs

For me these would be very cool to see. Telltale- Monster or Death Note SSM- Berserk Ready at Dawn- Evangelion Ninja Theory- Ninja Scroll or G Gundam Ubisoft- One Piece beat em up w/ Ubiart engine Rockstar- Great Teacher Onizuka Naughty Dog- Nausicaa or FMA
 
I honestly don't think Telltale, Ninja Theory and SSM games are any good.

Well, at least a Berserk game from SSM would be a spectacle, but that's not what I'm looking for in a theoretical Berserk game. It's only one part of it.

CD Projekt could make a pretty sick Berserk game though, if they can make the swordplay in their games worth a damn.
 
Code Geass RTS by Relic, play as the tactical genius Zero as you lead the Japanese revolution against the Brittanian empire. :P

Dunno, could work.
 
Ghost in the Shell

Came to post this... Cowboy Bebop would do TERRIBLY in western dev hands... not sure why people think it would do well.

I think people are confusing "what anime would they like to see as a game" versus what the OP actually asked...
 
Ghost in the Shell comes to mind. Anything serious and grounded and not too
creative
crazy.

On the other hand, what about a western game made into an anime? I'd vote NBA Jam.
 
That said, I really liked the Naruto games that Ubisoft made early in this generation. A large world to explore, and non-traditional fighting mechanics (special moves done by holding a trigger and doing inputs on both analog sticks to match hand movements) were all good ideas.
 
Black Lagoon was my first thought but seeing as that's already been mentioned how about Crest of the Stars. It shares quite a bit with more western style sci-fi and I'd swear there's room for a space sim or strategy game in there.
 

Might as well post the pic for the curious.

Rocksteady — Darker Than Black

Why would it surely be terrible

What is it about CB that makes it untouchable by westerners that doesn't exist for GitS
 
Jojo and Berserk are first to come to mind if we are being realistic

But I want a Bleach game so im going to add Bleach
 
Attack on Titan in Skyrim style would be wonderful. Hm maybe even Dragon Age too...

A Mahouka done in Arkham Asylum style would be pretty entertaining.

A Space Battleship Yamato 2199 done in the Mass Effect style would be great for extending the sci-fi videogame realm.
