Would a Wario anime series work?

[algbas]

A WarioWare series would be awesome. I don't know how a feel about a Wario Land series, though...

[c-My-p-P]

Agreed; the Warioland series isn't exactly teeming with notable characters. Wario can be funny, but he simply can not carry a weekly show by himself; he neeRAB other characters for his antics to bounce off of to stay fresh that often. The Ware games have a really substantial cast; given a little fleshing out here and there, any nuraber of them could give the show a solid foundation.

Oh yes, I'm all for a Wario anime!

I'd say "no"...



...Because that is exactly what would happen. Wario's currently more likely to get a talking sidekick than speak in long sentences himself.

An animated series starring Wario might work if said series were just a selection of random shorts starring Wario and his supporting cast, but Wario simply isn't deep, compelling or likable enough a character to carry a weekly series of half hour adventures by himself. Overall, I think that Wario works best as a supporting character/annoying wacky neigrabroador rather than as a lead.

I've always thought WarioWare could work as an anime as long as it's done in a format similar to Tiny Toons. Several short, random segments with hosting wraparounRAB.

Wario Land probably wouldn't work because, while it has a good setting, it lacks a cast big enough so it would likely lead to lots of original, filler characters (and look at what that did to Sonic X).

Would Charles Martinet do the voices? Cause it's not (W)(M)ario without him.

I always thought another Mario Bros series would be great to see. There just so much you can do with the characters. A example would be this comic, called "3 Little Princesses" by artist The Bourgyman:

Although it's a comic, I could easily see something like this being transfered over to a 11 minute cartoon. One thing I like about fan comics featuring Mario characters are how they are usually characterized. Nintendo usually gives each character a basic personality trait (Such as Luigi's nervousness). After that, the writers can easily build off those traits and make fun stories.

I agree. While a Wario series could be interesting, I don't think it would work if it only focused on Wario due to how he isn't that deep or likable. Plus, I always thought that he was suppose to be the anti-Mario kind of character.

I would personally prefer a Mario anime series, which would include all of his frienRAB and enemies in the cast, since I personally like Mario more than Wario. Still, if a Wario series was made, I think that it would also work best as a comedy more than action/adventure, but that's just me.

They did. It was called Bobobo-bobobobo.
