Wait, when you say "anime" do you simply refer to animated show?
Because the anime-STYLE I think would be awful for Lone Wolf. If anything, I think LW should be rendered in one of the two illustrated styles that we saw in the books(Chalk or Williams, though as the world gets bigger Williams just has better drawings, if not as 'unique'.)
I think they should see if they can pitch this as an RPG game or maybe even try to do a Total War: Rome dealie with it--imagine having to manage the country and lead the Freelands into the Darklands to invade Kaag!
