One of my favorite Anime's is titled Ghost in the Shell. It's one of few anime that doesnt use flash backgrounds for fight seen's. This lead me wonder if they made a MMO based on it how many people would play it?
"Possibly we humans can exist without actually having to fight. But many of us have chosen to fight. For what reason? To protect something? Protect what? Ourselves? The future? If we kill people to protect ourselves and this future, then what sort of future is it, and what will we have become? There is no future for those who have died. And what of those who did the killing? Is happiness to be found in a future that is grasped with blood stained hands? Is that the truth?" |

I don't think it would be very successful to be quite honest. |

you are correct here is a link to see what Ghost in the Shell is about: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghost_in_the_Shell

I love Ghost in the Shell, but I don't think it would make a good MMO. |

The anime, Samurai 7 (which is based off the classic 7 Samurai by Akira Kurosawa), I think would make a great MMO world. Steam punk with Samurai, sounds good to me |

I think a FMA (full metal alchemist) could possibly do well. the anime showed alchemy could be used in many different ways, could make for some interesting gameplay if you ask me. |

The project I'm currently working on was inspired by CP2020/GitS actually.

I dont know if ghost in the shell woudl work. but I love that series and cyberpunk. So I would try it. Fact is, with the failing of Matrix, there really isnt a good cyberpunk MMO out there. GITS probably would be welcomed to fit that void ...anything but yet another fantasy MMO
Heck, i'd buy it just for the soundtrack |

Fma is probably the best choice for an anime to MMo transition. But it probably won't ever happen, we can hope though. Samurai7 sucked to me, The movie was great, but the series in general did not catch my attention and overall seemed boring. Though I loved its concept. |

All Ghost does is rip off William Gibson harder than anything ever.
So why not just go to the source?

There is room on the market for a good cyberpunk mmo, ghost in the shell is as good a setting as any I suppose. But I think I'd prefer something that's made up from scratch, there is such a lot of good litterature to draw inspiration from that it's unnecessary to base it of a single IP. Just borrow liberally from William Gibson, Neal Stephenson and Richard Morgan and it would be easy enough to come up with a good setting. |

It would be a lot less popular than the Matrix Online... and who plays that?
Was a good story, but if it's made into a game it'll need to be more like DuesEX. LineageII | LoTRO | RFO | 9Dragons | Aion | Perfect World | Ether Saga | Dungeon Runners | GuildWars | Hellgate London | tCoS | Warhammer | AoC | Tabula Rasa

Best thing about that would be its a "Crafting Intensive" MMO, something at least some people would die for.
As for a Ghost in the shell MMO, if it was done right and handled well it would be nice, futuristic cyberpunk isn't exactly something seen in most MMOs, so it would be a rather unique setting. |
