Tales of Symphonia Anime (2006-06-20 13:00:16)
Ufotable will produce a Tales of Symphonia OAV series for release in Japan next year. The series, based on the popular Namco RPG, will be directed by Haruo Tonosaki with character design by Akira Matsushima.
All I have to say is: About friggin time. There have been rumors about it floating around since the games release a few years ago, but there was never any confirmation. XD

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEee--*shot*

<3! I really wanted this when I was omgobsessed! with the fandom and I'm still really excited to hear this. Tales of Symphonia is one of my top favourite games ever, so an OAV series is just awesome news. Weird about the character design, though. D: One of the things I hated about Legendia was that they didn't use the same character designer as in Symphonia, and the characters just ended up ugly. So it worries me that Kosuke Fujishima doesn't return as character designer, but I guess we'll see what happens. x_o;

SQUEE~ X3 I'm so happy~~
I'm just now going through a second runthrough in TOS, so this news couldn't have had a better timing! ^-^ <3

I'm not worried about Akira Matsushima being the character designer. Rave Master had a good character design IMO and Samurai X was superb~<3 I can't wait! X3

Btw: The rumor a long time ago if anyone heard anything about it turned out to be misleading- it was only about the anime cutscenes, not an anime ^^;

Is there a new ToS game coming out? In the first one there are anime cutscenes... That could be it.

No, I don't think another TOS game will be coming out- the game ended in a resolute way. The only Tales game to have a second was Tales of Destiny. Tales of the Abyss will be coming out in December though.

No ToS-related games for a while, sadly. They announced a few games the other day, a ToP remake, a ToD remake and a ToD2 remake. Those and a new Tales of the World game. But no Symphonia. D:

http://www.ova-tos.com/
"Tales of Symphonia THE ANIMATION"
The official OVA website is open.
From now on, the OVA's latest information as well as a support-banner campaign project and e-mail magazine registration is planned to be here.


So that seems to be the site, and I translated what's in that box on the side. o.o If those are the character designs, that's not too bad~

Colette is pretty pale, but I kinda like her that way. :O But then, they're all pretty pale in that picture; Colette just seems moreso since her hair is light too. @[email protected]

I'm going to assume the fact that Kratos is in the image means that it takes place at some point during the game. Though it'd be awesome if it were post-game and he came back. :D

Maybe it is post game. You never know... Unless theres a summary somewhere on the website.

EDIT:: I found a summary!!!

Two worlds exist, unaware of the other's existance. These worlds survive by the use of mana. The most important beings in these worlds are known as the "chosens". These chosens must go on perilous journeys while awakening the sleeping Summon Spirits, defeating the Desians, and restoring mana. Lloyd Irving and his friends Collet Brunel the Chosen of Sylvarant and Genius Sage the smartest kid in Iselia set off on a journey with Kratos a mysterious mercenary and Refill Genius' sister. Along the way they make more friends and discover the truth behind the World Regeneration.

That looks more like a summary of the actual game.

I wonder how long it'll be. x_x It'd be nice to see a long-ish series of the actual game, but if we assume it's only gonna be four episodes like the ToP OVA was, then that's not very much to work with. o.o; I don't see how they can take all 60-something hours of gameplay and shove it into four episodes. <<;

Maybe they'll expand it...plus, all those funny skits have to be accounted for something. The animation would introduce a broaded range of characterization and things we couldn't see in the game.

I can't wait. ;_;

For the Tales of Phantasia OVA, instead of starting from the beginning, they just started from the war in the snowfield 3/4ths of the way through the game. I wouldn't count on them telling a lot of the story, if much at all. So either just part of a of the game or an original arc all together.

I hope they go for an original arc--they did that with the Eternia one (I think?) and it was received a lot better from what I can tell, since the Phantasia OVA was still way too short for what they tried to cover. :O

Though I won't really care. I'm just glad it's happening in the first place. XD

If it follows the game, it'll likely take the Colette path if anything. So no worries there, I suppose. @[email protected]

Though I so want Lloyd to pick Kratos at Flanoir if it follows the game. *_*

I'm sure they'll think of one way or another to get a part of everyone's background into the OAV. It's a long shot, but I wonder if they'll also be in different costumes too! *squee* I can't wait~~ Animated Yggy X3
