I, along with possibly the majority of this board, was wondering if CGL has ever put any thought into doing (having done) a totally canon full-length anime film or series? I personally think that it would open up the Sixth world to a whole new audience that doesn’t know about the game. You could do it in segments, ie. the history followed by the 50s, 60s, and finish up with the current world time frame. Just an idea that has probably been brought up before many times. You could even have players submit characters and supporting cast (NPCs) which would go over extremely well with your fans. I’m sure if you put this topic up for a vote, the majority would be for it. I, for one would not rent it, but buy it; and I just now am getting ‘into’ anime. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)

As I said, we don't have the rights to do so. If we wanted to do something of that nature, we'd have to go back to WizKids for negotiations, and frankly, with their size and contacts, they're more likely to do license it out themselves then change our license to let us license it out to someone else ... all that would accomplish is make WizKids' piece of the pie smaller.

Catalyst Game Labs does have the relevant rights to produce or sublicense a movie or animated show.

Emphasis mine.
