If you were put completely in charge of making NiGHTS into your own anime, what would you do with it? How would you feel about having an anime about him in the first place? Would Jackle be a main character? XD
Ooh... and what kinda music would you use for intros/outros? Everytime I hear Audience by Ayumi Hamasaki, I think of NiGHTS right away and imagine the opening to some happy upbeat anime with him and the kids (Reala and Jackle were in there somewhere)
I imagine it wouldn't involve a huge plotline per se, but like every episode has its own conflict to solve with a happy ending, and maybe some hint of continuity with the development of Wizeman's plans to capture NiGHTS and take over Nightopia/the world, maybe even look into NiGHTS' origins and past with Reala and the others
(Well... when I hear Audience, I imagine a happy and inspirational show with the original NiGHTS, Claris and Elliot. Then I hear Amaranth by Nightwish and I imagine Journey of Dreams versions of everybody and a darker anime with drama and plot)

If I was in charge, I would not let America touch NiGHTS. They already ruined it by making the Archie comic and it would be worse as an anime kinda like the Zelda cartoon in the 80's (ooooo... that gave me nightmares). The animation must be done in Japan.
I think having the anime would be an awesome idea. Hopefully it would not be too much based on the game.
Since I never played the sega saturn version of NiGHTS. I don't think I know him well enough to make him a main character.
Music would be hard. I would let someone else choose the music best for the anime and I'll just say yes or no to what music fits best with it. Mostly, energetic music in both good, bad, and creepy music when it comes to nightmares and you know- up beat music when something action, drastic, and violent happens.
I would like a plot line with no fluff episodes... well maybe one or two funny fluffs but no more. I think the plot line would be more about the nightmarens, for some reason... they are more interesting than the kids. I would say instead of two kids -(boy and girl). Just work with one kid. Maybe by season he works with various types of kids. Overall, I just thought of the plot in how say 5 minutes. So, I can't say how things would come about.
Overall, I would say Yay! for an anime of NiGHTS.

Eliot and Claris are normal high (or middle?) school students and every week Wizeman shows up with a new maren. They transform into NiGHTS (allowing a potential two NiGHTSes to exist at once at any time). They beat the monster.
After a few weeks they fight a boss like Clawz, Puffy, or Jackle.
The series is canceled after 200 episodes that were mostly just "monster of the week" so they never manage to finish the series and defeat Wizeman.
...I would enjoy this imaginary series much more than I probably should.

I cannot help but imagining something along the lines of Sailor Moon.

I think they're middle, but looks can be deceiving -.-. LOL! That will be one funny sailormoon transformation from the kids to NiGHTS. You would always hear the NiGHTS theme music while they dualize with NiGHTS.

Like, NiGHTS didn't seem to have as much say or personality. Like, the kids just took control of his body and became him and he only seemed to "awaken" when he could hear someone else in distress, and the shock causes he and the kid he's merged with to accidentally separate... although, nothing excuses Elliot's pretty little twirl the first time he merged XD I can only think of one occasion when he was in control, during the fight with Gulpo
And you almost made me burst into laughter, Ventro XD And because it's NiGHTS, there'd be much twirling and lights and pretty sparkles... does it make me a horrible person if I actually wanna see those transformation sequences? XD

Sorry, I couldn't resist. It was eating me away inside like an alien. Anyway, I think a NiGHTS anime would be good only if 4Crap stayed far the frig away from it. Just pretended it didn't exist. That would be nice. Viz can't get anywhere near it either; I saw what they did to Naruto. Atrocious.

AHHHHH!!!! The companies that shall not be named! (Harry potter reference) Those companies ruin any anime they touch.... Just saying the name in a different way would make any anime fan scream in terror and fear. Beware of those companies. They can turn a cool anime into a boring sucky anime. Look at Sonic X I watched the japanesse and the one done by 4Crap (They deserve that name). Major difference.

If it were done by a Japanese animation house, I could see it turning out like...um... .hack//pick one- amazingly colored and detailed worlds with strange characters and a plot that is so obscure that you have no idea what's going on until the very last episode, where it's all explained and brought forth in such a light that you have to watch the entire series two or three times over just to understand everything.

Hmmm......I see an opening with NiGHTS, Reala, and Jackle...There's Wizeman...I can see it being a drama/humour anime...and I think that's it...I think I also see a certain blue hedgehog making lots of cameos...
...WHAT TH--I can see Kenny....Oh! He just got killed!
...I've got to stop watching Comedy Central...

I can see this song becoming the opening, and Tsuki no Waltz (the very song that originally brought me here mind you) becoming the ending.
Of course, I also see a sort of 'special edition' opening and ending set, that would be like a 13th episode or an April 1st in keeping with the Reala jokes. They would be this song with the ending sequence coming off having a sort of creepy overtone, something along the lines of Sweets Time or Still Doll.
Now onto plot... Right now, the beginning-ish would be sort of like something off of Monochrome Factor, in that the main character (something like Nellie... I know, I'm egotistic like that ^^;; but maybe we can use her as something of a sample-model) has a sort of strange dream in the pre-opening sequence where she is told she 'shouldn't have entered into the shadow realm', or something along the lines.
There is a reason for that that is pretty much obscured... regardless, the main chara has a sort of 'shadow form' she takes with her to Nightopia. However, the shadow form, it is commonly percieved within Nightopia, is only an 'alternate persona' therefore her true Ideya is 'hidden'.
Also, there is a legend where shadows were once dominant, but as time moved on (both in the Night Dimension and the real world), the shadows began to feel threatened due to an increasing population of dream world inhabitants, both Visitor and otherwise because of the 'light' they gave off, and retreat into the realm where they originally belonged. It is also said their 'skin' could be seen on the ground and walls, and under individuals' feet. The shadows are also said to reside in the realm of Nightmare.
Okay, so I made the last paragraph up on the top of my head, but there is a lot of stuff that I can make up as I go along.. ._.;;

Just replace the dream people with Nightopians and the Nightmare with Wizeman and that about sums it up.

I found this both funny, and sadly true.Just seeing that video ruins ALL the enjoyment sleep brings me. I should slap whoever made such a retarded program...
As for a NiGHTS anime... Well, I always imagined the opening theme being the long opening theme from the first game -- not the Christmas, Normal, or Halloween themed ones, but the one on the soundtrack that put all of them together. And the ending would have been Dreams Dreams.
As for storyline, I would imagine that it would work somewhat like the W.I.T.C.H or Kirby episodes -- each is separate, and has a sort of lesson or moral to learn, but all of the episodes together make a story on a more epic scale.
Here's a strange question -- would any of you want Julissa (from JoD) to play NiGHTS as his voice actor again, or would you choose someone else? And if so, who?

"Hey, Hellen! Let's go swimming in the black ocean outside the Dream Gate!(forgot what it's called)"
"I dunno. NiGHTS and Owl said not to!'
"Fine. I'll go without you!"
Wizeman captures Will, Hellen and NiGHTS go rescue him, and we have a talk at the end of the episode about what he learned from the experienced. Then we go sing a song about it! DX All the while, I'm going "Kill me now..."

I think I would want Julissa to voice him again. I like the voice now. Although the voice wasn't what I was expecting, I got so used to it after a while that when I heard the deeper voiceover that someone here did (can't remember who did it or where that thread is, but everyone probably knows what I'm talking about), it sounded very odd to me. Plus, Julissa seemed to get better making his voice neutral as the game went on. Or maybe I'm just too used to it.
Is Julissa male or female?

It would be AWESOME if there was a NiGHTS anime, the animation and designs for the characters would look kinda like Sonic X (scratch out 4kids), and the voice actors would have to get into character. I know I would

Admittedly, it does sound more Nick Jr. Though I seriously remember seeing a Sonic cartoon in which practically the same thing happened, but they sang the Sonic CD theme instead. Sonic and Tales do NOT sing well. D: D: D: D: D:...

If they DID make it...I'd like to see the company who did Fullmetal Alchemist do it. They were so true to the manga and yet added some subtle changes. Plus..Vic Ahem
I would not want to hear the JoD voice actress. She grinds me down too fast, annoying, lifeless and overall over the top. It makes me cringe hearing such a god-awful accent. I wouldn't mind hearing Reala's voice actor. But I'd rather the series be based off the first game. JoD would end up being another HAPPY GO LUCKY KAWAII DESU ANIMU SERIES >>;
But if there is some deity out there, I'd rather NiGHTS was not touched by the anime brush...lol, my boyfriend and me are considering redubbing JoD because we dislike the voice acting THAT MUCH XD *shot*

If they did make it, I would like to see Yuji Naka's imput. :|
Even if Naka had a hand, doesn't mean it will be good. They will try to find new ideas, silly characters and no link back to what the game is about.
I still say it: No NiGHTS anime thank you.

I mean look at sonic! He has over 5 (or even more) Different kinds of cartoons in over 15 years. (remembers Sonic Adventures)
Why Can't NiGHTS have a chance in the spot light and give knowledge to children today about the dream world? NiGHTS needs love too D:
An anime... I would be skipping work everyday just to watch it. I can see it, I can see Reala more so and Yes Jackle would be in it *nods* Duh, Jackle would add some comedy to it ^^
And more children besides Clairs, Helen, Will and Elliot ya know. There are more dreams out there ><
But keep the nightmaren cast *nod*
And have a different voice cast for NiGHTS.
Reala's voice is fine, so is Wizemans *nod*

I'd rather NOT see a NiGHTS anime. Sonic has been butchered, Kirby has been butchered, Pokemon was butchered.
4Kids is the most sinister company in the world. The Japanese versions of all of the above (ESPECIALLY Hoshi no Kaabii) are super-duper fasanastic. (Yes, I made that word up )
Why has "anime" become a synonym for "cartoon"? (Unless, of course, you're Japanese or French. I that case, it's your language!) Why not have an American or European NiGHTS show? It could be interesting. (Rupert the Bear meets NiGHTS...eek)
Linquistic rant aside, I don't think a NiGHTS cartoon would be accepted by anyone here. Do all the posts about how voices and cutscenes in Journey of Dreams "destroy the original's magic" and "make the game boring", "cut-and-dry", and "the root of all evil" seem familiar to anyone? A cartoon is like a cutscene streeeeeeetched to 30+ minutes. If a series were based on NiD, there would be uprisings with torches and pitchforks. A JoD one, on the other hand, his more likely to be tolerated since just about everyone has accepted that it has a plot.
Thank you and good day.

I think something like a cross between FLCL and .hack something, but in the spirit of NiGHTS. 6 episodes, (maybe 10) semi-ambiguous plot line, awesome music, insane animation, hinge point between totally random and philosophical, (or IS it??) dreamy atmosphere, ambiguous ending (the Japanese LOoove those...) and there you have it. Cult hit.
