Final Fantasy

List of little lesser known anime closely based on or directly adapting video games, not including any visual novels or gacha. Mostly focused on JRPGs. In the case of video games with many anime, not all will be listed but will be mentioned in the notes. (In Progress)

Some of these are questionable, like Suisei no Gargantia can be argued to be fully sci-fi, but there is a feel to it that makes me include it, along with organic and archaic elements that are woven together in a way that makes this appear more fantastical than your average sci-fi. Similarly, Gankutsuou is sci-fi with advanced technology, but it's futuristic imagery is conceptualized to cohere with the elegant 19th century setting of Dumas' novel. I'm also avoiding the inclusion of more than one entry per series, so if season 1 is on here, then season 2 likely fits just as much.

One per franchise

A list consisting of anime that convey a sense or feeling of what childhood is or could be. It's supposed to be somewhat of a childhood/nostalgia archive in it's entirety.

Note: The list is about childhood, not anime we watched when we were children. It does not necessarily contain your typical Miyazaki/Ghibli movies nor is it child-friendly by every means.
