i thought this would be a great place to possibly discuss this idea.

i think that if they picked the right animes it could be a great idea!
Fullmetal Alchemist, Bleach, One Piece, Darker than Black, FLCL, Trigun, maybe even Code Geass!

i guess i'd welcome this idea 100%!


i'd even be willing to work for wizkids for free to help make them!


depending on what animes they'd pick you could have some pretty wacky dials or some pretty awesome ones!

...this time of the year again?


another Amalgam thread should be popping up sometime soon

Gee, we can't kill him...

Exactly how badly can we hurt him without actually inflicting fatal wounds?

what do you mean this time of year? i've never seen a thread discussing this.

ha. ha. ha.



i may be an otaku but i have feelings too.

whats so wrong with anime? is it because they're japanese? because they're cartoons?

Anime has its fans. Since the door has been opened to non-super-hero stuff with Street Fighter, Lord of the Rings, and Iron Maiden, I don't find this a crazy notion.

It's not up my alley, but it doesn't really sound any crazier than that other stuff.

Well, I've only been here a year and I've seen a dozen threads discussing anime clix. There's a Gundam thread going on right now!

It's not a bad idea, depending on the anime in question. Bleach or any of the Shonen fighting anime would be a good fit. Many others really wouldn't. Something like FLCL would be hard if not outright impossible to do, given the way it dances around reality. Is our lead character a normal human being or someone who can deflect fireballs from space with a baseball bat? Yes. Sorta... whatever.

Anything with fighting machines probably isn't going to work very well, in my opinion. Those would need their own game with their own rules, and stuffing them into HeroClix would hurt both.

I think it would only make sense that Ultraman and some classic Toho monsters become Clix before delving into anime properties.

realy? that many? eh.

i don't want mechs in clix. but code geass could work as their mechs would only be giant sized, plus they had alot of actiony things outside of the mechs as well.

but yes shonen was what i was mainly thinking with FMA & bleach & stuff like that. but FLCL could work if you pick the right people like canti & haruko.

I don't know why I detest the run-of-the-mill stereotypical animé personalities, but I do and it makes it unwatchable to me. Especially the "silent, strong type," "spunky tomboy girl with attitude" and "young hero on a quest who's absurdly powerful, but still playful, mischievous and totally oblivious to the attention of girls" templates.

I guess I'm just getting old and grumpy, though.

we're totally Grumpy together!! But seriously the problem is many Anime fans will say the same about Western comics but I honestly believe it varies on what you read.

That said: Anime shops make me want to vomit as does their wares

i love western comics! its bad movies that i detest.

I enjoy anime quite a bit, but I wouldn't want it in clix form. The anime's that would translate well into a superhero game are the superhero type shows (DBZ/Bleach), but unfortunately the archetypes are just way too derivative. Everyone gets hypersonic, super strength, flight, and a trait to give them phasing teleport. Mission accomplished.

The one anime I really liked in its contrast to "the anime style" was Cowboy Bebop - Heck, I even think the Joss Whedon show, Firefly, was practically a live action Cowboy Bebop.

I'd be interested in seeing ideas for an Anime-Clix set, but I'd prolly only buy a couple singles - I don't know how crazy I'd go for it.

That's prolly why most anime-games have remained in Collectible Playing Card Formats.

Just messin with ya, man.
