It’s a fact that lots of popular video games (both Japanese and western ones) get anime adaptions. And since anime and video games are two of my favourite hobbies (after all, Japanese video games and anime shares lots of elements from each other) I made a list with anime based on video games.

There are very few of these and they are terrible, it is better not even to look. It's only possible to make a good anime based on a manga.
Very few? Lol. Have you even checked the list? Also many of these anime are decent and some of them are great. Have you ever watched any anime of that kind? Furthermore many of them are faithful to the games. They even use the same Japanese voice actors with the games they're based on.

I remember watching some of the Persona 4 anime, but it didn't grip me. I had just completed the game, so it was almost like a rehash. The art and animation seemed pretty decent.

I remember both Devil May Cry and Bayonetta got anime adaptations, but I never watched them.

I thought I saw some news about Final Fantasy V having an anime (back in the day) that is currently being remastered.

I've never seen Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, but it apparently had a good run.

Mega Man, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Super Mario Bros. had American and Japanese animations made with (extremely) varying results.


There was also that series about catching animals and storing them in red and white balls. I forget the name. "Pikaman," I think it was called.

    $60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles

    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will

    @The Real Jdbye, tbh the HD collections are more justified since they include more than just 1 game per copy
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ I read that non-binary people identify as a blend of male and female. The point is i think i'm a blend of those and thus non binary
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Non-binary people are those who don't identify themselves exclusively as male or female.

    I don't identify as anything, unless I need to get on a plane then I show ID

    @SylverReZ, and thus that would make me non binary since i feel like a blend of both male and female
