Funimation is teaming up with Bioware and EA to expand on the universe of the critically acclaimed RPG , Dragon Age Origins. FUNimation Entertainment, the leading distributor of Japanese animation in North America, announced today an agreement to create an anime feature film. Dragon Age has been selected as the first title in FUNimation’s slate of major anime movies to be developed through FUNimation’s Original Entertainment team since the announcement of the company’s co-production initiative in

November 2009.

Bioware states:

“Anime is a great medium for us to continue the robust Dragon Age story,” said Mark Darrah, Executive Producer for the Dragon Age franchise. “Partnering with FUNimation ensures that we are delivering the exceptional quality and entertainment value that our Dragon Age fans expect.”

It seems like a trend is ensuing following the popularity of Halo:Legends , where Animation companies take on the storylines of Western video games. Lets see just how dark/bloody/sexual FUNimation will make the Anime Feature.
