I wish there was a Dark Souls anime.

[Kain]

Something done by a good studio like bones or sunrise. Or heck, akin to the old Berserk anime with music by Susumu Hirasawa... ahh a man can dream.

bad idea. in souls games you can fill the gaps with your own imagination and that's what makes them so unique to begin with. creating a tacky anime with some soap opera lvl drama would just hurt their rep.
thankfully from is not willing to dilute what they got by letting these guys work on it. I'm sorry but western animation studios are far superior to anything the eastern studios have created.

That's close minded. You don't need something with soap opera level drama... Each episode could be its own self sustained story in the setting. Hell, it could just be about the NPCs and their quest lines.

I like to be wrong. if they mange to create a competent plot that respects the lore, world-building and atmosphere - which I highly doubt - then that's great.

ghost in a shell is unapologetically copying william gibson and blade runner.
I wouldn't be suprised if the rest of the show you named, do the same from other western sources.

You're right, the specific case of GitS was indeed inspired by Blade Runner. But you can't say it unapologetically copied it because the ONLY thing they have in common is the fact humans alter themselves with robotic parts. Perfect Blue for once inspired Black Swan for example, a western movie. That's how art works. You have an image of Dark Souls. DS was inspired by many things including Berserk. A manga/anime. Are you gonna say it just copied Berserk?
Monster is an original story that is better than most western animations and it's an absolute work of art. Again, you can go back in history and say everything was inspired by something. It doesn't change what I said. Some anime/manga can be profound and doesn't need to be a soap opera.

Not all anime is tacky and a soap opera. Stuff like Monster, Paranoia Agent, Perfect Blue, Ghost in the Shell and of the same kind are actually quite deep and touch some very important and profound themes.

I'm just saying, three of those are not as deep as you think they are... Monster... yes, it is a mixed bag though. It's the John Q of anime: profound theme, but poorly executed and shoots itself in the foot with its message.

Anyway, ♥♥♥♥ that, give me a feature length Dark Souls movie. The perfect actor to cast as the Chosen Undead? Sean Bean.

We can discuss it. Which ones don't you find deep? And if so, you can give me examples of western animations that are deeper than these, since that's the topic. Are they as deep as The Brothers Karamazov? No, if they were they would be known world wide. They are however pretty deep and again touch on some very important topics.

Anyway, if they're citing those specific 4... no... no.

Except that isn't the topic, that's your own topic because you got assmad over one line, lol. I've already said it for one of them and I'm not making comparisons to western animation because that's not the point I'm making, didn't even imply it.

[p00se2]

and what are your examples
what do you think is deep

[The Commendatore]

No, no, no.

using reference is fine but copying something is not.
moorecock was inspired by conan and created elric which was the exact opposite.
the moment I watched gits, I thought to myself, I could read neuromancer again or watch blade runner because of how much they copied in that anime.

So you're not willing to explain why these aren't deep shows/movies. And you're also not gonna give me examples of western animations that are deeper than these. Ok. No It's not the main topic but it's something that is being discussed and YOU chose to participate by denying what I said. Kinda weird that you don't wanna defend your point now. All of the shows I mentioned deal with humanity's most important questions. I really recommend reading/watching Monster, since it's completely original. Monster deals with nihilism, existentialism, love, hate, complete evil, obsession, child abuse, manipulation, murder, forgivness, the nature of humans, grieve, happiness, literally everything that makes us humans in a story that not only features one of the best protsgonists but one of the best antagonists in fiction. And it does it with brilliance. Petfect Blue also tackles some of these topics. Paranoia Agent while more fantastical does so as well
You may not think this is deep but at least give me some evidence thst these shows aren't 'as deep' as I think they are.

Again, tell me what is similar apart from the fact humans now are more robots than human. The story of GiTS is completely different and so are the characters. The cyberpunk genre can only be so different you know? Yeah humans are now part or full robots in a futuristic city. That's it.
