animation Anyone like cartoons based on video games?

[SUPERFOX5 385]

For example,

Captain N The Game Master

Super Mario Bros. Super Show

Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3

Super Mario World

Sonic the Hedgehog

 

Does anyone like to watch these things despite how bad and cheesy they are?

[Megas 27,052]

Persona 4 the Animation is awesome

[Celtore 2,769]

I really enjoyed Kirby when it was on Fox. I saw all the episodes except the movie, which I eventually watched on youtube many years later. As for the shows listed in the examples, I never got a chance to see them because either I was born slightly too late or because our cable was really limited back then. Though I did watch sonic underground and sonic X as well.

God, i watched all of these in my childhood. They made reruns of them in the 90s.

 

I think if i have to pick one of those today, i would go for the Super Mario Bros Super Show, because i liked the live action segments, with Capt. Lou Albano as Mario.

Oh god, i remember the Kirby Anime. I watched the Japanese dub in Summer 2011 and watched it all the way through, in a few weeks. It had alot of action, was really cute and it made me really crackup at times. King Dedede was my favorite character in the show. XD

[Scootalove 10,684]

Definitely the Kirby show!

[Moony the Cat 3,695]

I never watched Sonic X but from what i saw, it has a very great drawing Style, that looks exactly like in the games. ( if the 3D Models, would actually be drawings, thats what i mean )

And i would really like to watch it, but the dvds are sooo rare and expensive... 

Other than that, i watched the Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Junior Cartoons, which were...okay. Thats it.  :laugh:

I also watched Sonic Underground as a kid, but i dont remember much from the show. 

[Dark Tempest 123]

I absolutely loved watching the Kirby show.

[Castle Bleck 19,164]

Sonic Boom is a pleasant surprise, especially compared to the game.

I certainly do. Sonic SatAM is one of my favorite cartoons. I also enjoyed the Super Mario Bros Super Show, Kirby Right Back At Ya, Sonic X, and Sonic Boom.

 

Also, and I know they're not cartoons exactly, but I am VERY excited for the animated "Sonic the Hedgehog", "Ratchet and Clank", and "Sly Cooper" movies.

 

The only thing that could be more perfect would be if Spyro and Crash Bandicoot hopped on the bandwagon.

[Luminance 2,181]

Here's a cartoon based on a video game.

Well a Cgi movie perhaps...

[Sazama Ichida 2,352]

Definitely. Sonic SAT AM was one of the greatest shows ever. Now I just want Fire Emblem to get a new animated series. Preferably an anime. And one that has a dark and gritty style like Attack on Titan.

[PiratePony 8,473]

I loved Captain N, and have every episode on DVD. I admit to its flaws though

 

Just so you know

 

THIS GUY

 

IS ALSO

 

 

 

 

Furthermore: 

 

I LOVED  and still love, Super Mario Super Show (which I found very clever), and Super Mario Bros 3. I never liked Super Mario World.

 

 

I also really liked the (super fighting robot) MEGA MAN series. 

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 40,243]

The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is a guilty pleasure of mine. The show is cheesy, corny, and has some ungodly tacked on moral lessons. Still, there is something charming about the whole show, especially Dr. Robotnik. He is an awesome character. 

[KirbyFluttershy 2,517]

As a Huge fan of kirby, Kirby: Right Back At Ya! is what I like the most, but I would never forget those days when it was on the air. I do love the intro song of the show though.

 

I remember that there was a Legend of Zelda Cartoon, but it's pretty much funny watching it although I never seen it on TV or while it was on the air or something.

They actually had some anime which is technically a cartoon.

Also Ghost in the Shell was a game then an Anime series.

Here's my biggest beef with Captain N:

 

This is NOT Simon Belmont.

 

THIS is Simon Belmont.

 

Even THIS is far more "Simon Belmont" than that obnoxious Jay Leno lovechild.

 

I will even accept this bishi boy as being the greatest of all Belmonts.

 

And will go so far as to consider this Judgment redesign as something akin to a Simon Belmont.

 

But, again, this creature should never have existed.

Yeah, that Simon was so egotistical, full of himself. He was still funny to laugh at because of this.

 

I also kinda don't like that Pit was named Kid Icarus, it's almost like they never read the instruction manual or played through the game at least.

 

Captain N is kind of a guilty pleasure despite the characters not matching their game counterparts.

 

I'm just sad I missed out on the DVD release, considering that might be the only chance I had at getting it.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show is a guilty pleasure of mine.

I still think Megaman had it worse

Oh, you mean...

It's MEGA-TIME!!1!  *Hack, cough, wheeze.*

 

(I always thought of that Mega Man as a smoker.)

im a big super mario fan and i enjoyed watching their cartoon a lot

[BritishBrony2012 719]

I enjoy Persona 4 the Animation.

[EpicEnergy 22,066]

I tend to like it the other way around - video games based on cartoons like Transformers games and My Little Pony games.

[Splashee 28,537]

I just got back from watching MattKC's review of A Very PacMan Christmas, and my answer is: no.

[Pastel Heart 6,463]

I love most of the 80s and 90s shows based on games~ SMBSS being tops!

And if anime counts, Pokemon Kanto through Johto and Origins, Sonic X, Kirby and F-Zero GP Legend!
