I dunno, usually when you get CGI blended with regular 2D animation, it stands out like a sore thumb and takes away from the experience for me. I role my eyes every time they unnecessarily use it in Avatar, for example, and I hate how half the attacks in the Pokemon anime are CGI now. Futurama does a fairly good job of it, except whenever one of the characters who are regularly 2D get rendered in 3D, then it looks weird - but the ships and whatnot are always CGI, so you get used to the natural divide. Sometimes it can even be pulled off in such a way that you can't really tell the difference, like in Princess Mononoke, but usually that's not the case.
I wasn't referring to blending CGI with 2d animation, but rather, 2D western animation with 2D anime.
 
So, like Avatar and Martin Mystery? Where it's western, but anime style? And maybe takes cues from both for certain stylistic choices or something?

Yeah.

Do you think that would work very well? Since Mario's own style isn't really anime, nor is it quite western.
 
I'm perfectly fine with anything as long as it doesn't involve real people as actors. Thank goodness that never happen-OHMAHGAH A MOVIE HIDE ME
 
Haters gonna hate, but I quite liked the movie. You just gotta not expect it to be true to the games and enjoy it on its own cracked-out merits.

Yeah, I think it'd work well. Although anime's pretty broad, and the few Mario anime works that have been made seemed accurate enough to the series' style (the Amada OVAs in particular: the company that made them also made ads for a couple of the games, iirc); ultimately, it just boils down to who's making the show.
 
I'm a Mario fan but I didn't hate the movie because it didn't follow the source material well, I understand it's an adaptation they gotta make changes, I hate it because it had a boring story and boring characters

But...it has to be changes that make sense

No, you need to stay true to the source material or the movie will never fly.

See Dragonball Evolution, Mortal Kombat, and Street Fighter.

Add The Last Airbender to that overgrowing list of fail
