I do think there was a manga for Virtual On? I'm not 100% sure about this though.

I have one sitting next to me waiting to be scanned and translated.

Yes and finding time in my schedule to scan it is becoming ridiculous.

The title in question wasn't a running series that was published in a weekly magazine or something. The manga neo helbeast is talking about is a single doujinshi that was published back in the late 90s.

The same doujin circle made a second Virtual-on doujinshi around the same time, I think, but I'm not sure if both were related plot-wise (chances are they were both self contained titles).

Fan-made stuff aside, there was one official manga title published back in 1997 titled "Virtual-On Episode #8 Scrambling Concerto." This was only a one-shot manga that was publised in a single issue of Comic DRAGON, so it obviously didn't last long.

Someone was nice enough to scan Scrambling Concerto and upload a slideshow of it on NicoNico Douga.

On topic though, an anime doesn't sound that bad.

From what I can tell there are only two stories that are actual stories and the rest are one-offs making fun of virtual on. There maybe a possibility of the two serious ones having a continuing story in the second one. I snap some dirty cell phone pics later to show you comparisons.

I think it'd be cool as a fighting game. Just good ol' fighting robot awesomeness, no lame story-lines required.

You know, if you put something like that up on XBLA with great netcode and a low price, I bet people would flock to it in droves!

Uhhh... Isn't that kinda what Virtual-On is already?

Unless of course you're talking about a 2D fighting game akin to Street Fighter or something similar. Also, with the exception of Marz, none of the Virtual-On games really had a plot to them. Well, they did, but it's not like they were too apparent in the games themselves, at least to the point where it had any real effect on gameplay, except for maybe who the bosses were in single-player.
