The Earthworm Jim cartoon is absolutely hysterical. Dan Castellaneta did the voice of Jim and I legitimately feel it was his best role ever outside of Homer Simpson. It also featured other big-name voice talent like Jim Cummings, Andrea Martin, & Kath Soucie. Do yourself a favor and check it out.

Speaking of eroge, there were a bunch that got an OVA or two like Amy's Fantasies and the Dragon Knight series.
The old Dragon Knight OVA is well worth a watch dubbed since it's basically on the same writing level as the DK3 translation, Knights of Xentar, with horrendous voice acting and genius dialogues like

>You are sentenced to death but I'll allow you to choose your end. How about it, do you want to be hung?"

This is a slow board.
You don't need to bump shit.
Also, everyone here uses the catalog. People aren't going to magically have something new to say just because the thread is on the first page of pages no one uses.
If you want to get the conversation rolling, think of something to actually say. Don't just mindlessly bump. This isn't /v/.

>Did Video game companies just not give a shit about the way people used their IPs or what?

There was little communication between the game companies and the artist/writers for the show. The artist would just be handed the game and makeup what he thought the character looked like based on playing the game for a bit. The whole thing was rushed too.

The US cartoon gave Raptor an intro where he ascended into a guys office (a talent scout, I think) via pastel elevator and slid out on his knees screaming and playing his guitar.

What I'm saying is that the American cartoon was the best adaptation ever.

I wasn't talking about how off model or out of character things were. I was basically talking about the fact there was this massive video game character crossover on TV that featured characters from more than Just Nintendo, but Konami, Capcom, and many others as well.

It feels like that could never exist today, maybe one crossover game, but a TV series? never.
