I would ether choose NEEDLESS, Gundam 00 or To Aru Majutsu no Index
Quoted from vid1900:All other Anime is amateur night compared to Urotsuki Douji
I don't know if I should happy or sad that someone else knows Urotsuki Douji. Anyway...I would love a Trigun or Detective Conan pinball machine.
Quoted from QuackenColony:Anyway...I would love a Trigun or Detective Conan pinball machine.
+1 on Trigun.
But I put my vote out for One Piece!
Dragon Ball Z! The goal would be to collect all 7 dragon balls, which of course would result in a crazy multi-ball. You could fight Raditz, Vegita, the Ginyu Force, Freeza, etc., and you could work to achieve Super Sayin (which would make the cabinet go crazy with a super light show). Could be an awesome pin!!
Quoted from QuackenColony:I don't know if I should happy or sad that someone else knows Urotsuki Douji.
Very sad, especially if they own the Anime 18 version.
Anytime someone says "Anime is just gays, little girls and robots" I just show them 5 minutes of Urotsuki, and they immediate say "Can I get a copy of this?...."
Of course, latter they ask what else is as good, and I have to tell them, nothing.
Quoted from Rabscuttle:Spirited Away would be majorly cool.
Yeah a Miyazaki collection pin would be pretty sweet.
If they make an Akira pin the rule set should be just as difficult to understand as the plot.
My vote is for Starblazers.
I would choose something like Gundam Wing. Something where there is a distinct and varied selection of characters that could be separated into modes. Of course Voltron would work well for that with each lion having it's own mode leading toward a voltron wizard mode.
Quoted from Jnewton:Cowboy Bebop. The soundtrack alone would be awesome..
I second this. A pin with smooth Jazz as the soundtrack the entire time? It couldn't get any better.
Quoted from Bowman9:"Project A-ko"
I haven't seen that in years, now I'm gonna have to go find it. Also, I would love a Kenshin table, especially if it is based on the Kyoto saga.
ako would be awesome!
man.. I saw urotsukidoji 1/2/3 in the cinema triple play. I walked out a little green. ugh.
here is an AWESOME looking retheme of a buck rogers into an Akira.

I'd love to see a 3x3 Eyes / Sazan Aisu pinball or Bubblegum Crisis (original, not 2040 remake).
I'd pick Avatar (not really anime but anime style), so people knew what the hell it was when it's on route.
Akira and Urtosukidoji FTW! Anyone wants to purchase the LD OVA of overfiend i have a spare copy.....all 400 minutes of it depraved goodness.
Quoted from CaptainNeo:I'd pick Avatar (not really anime but anime style), so people knew what the hell it was when it's on route.
I agree. It may not be true anime, but I think Avatar stacks up well against anything else out there. Plus, there are just so many great quotes you could use for the pin, as well as a plethora of really cool characters.

agreed
Holy crap, buncha nerds LOL...
You know SOME fool will eventually re-theme Transformers as an Evangelion pinball, right?
I'm voting (not unrpredictably) with Rabscuttle here. Good lord, that had better be the BEST PLAYFIELD ART EVER!
could you put black nickel balls in it for the little coal dust creatures? lol.
Quoted from Frax:Holy crap, buncha nerds LOL...
Yeah, what a bunch of losers!
(I'd probably break Robin's hard drive if I was to weigh in on this subject. )
Let's start with the basics though...
"Macross/Robotech"
Think F-14 on steroicrack!!!

You know if anybody made that it would cost OVER $9000!
Honestly the DBZ is the only one here that seems to be able to convert into a Pinball. I can't think how any of the others would.
A Cowboy Bebop would be awesome!!

+2 to that as well lol

Hahaha!
Seriously though, my vote would be Space Battleship Yamato where there was a video mode where you got to tear off Nova's clothes like in that wormhole temporal rift thing... or whatever. The important point is the clothes ripping off. God. I was seven when I first saw that. I knew I liked it, a LOT, just wasn't precisely sure why.
Wave Motion Gun mode. Shock Cannon Multiball. Pretty awesome.
Clearly, Ranma 1/2 is the ideal choice when it comes to the endless creative rule set possibilities.

Robocross would have been cool but is dated.
I too would like the real Avatar as I think it has a good storyline. Would prefer the cartoons but the movies would be more likely. Lots of material to use.
I'm probably going to be crucified for saying this, but Pokémon. I envision the game allowing you to choose a starter Pokémon at the outset, and then you have to find and capture 5 other Pokémon during the game - doing battles in the process, fighting with your rival, getting gym badges, defeat the elite 4 during the Wizard Mode, etc. Everything is already in place for it to be made into a pin.

Man, when i read the title of the thread i had this in mind. Thing is, as a pinball, would be one of the most offensive things you could build. I would buy it in a heartbeat....haha. Where else can you see cartoon demons with multi cocked appendages ravaging feline hybrid sex goddesses?
