Definitely Fatal Frame. A anime of Fatal Frame, very well produced, would be GOAT

It would have to be a game more heavily focused on story and setting rather than gameplay, otherwise you're losing the main thing that made that game enjoyable. This is why Nintendo games would be terrible in other mediums, and we know because they've tried. Funnily enough, a lot of the games I think would make for good anime already have them. Valkyria Chronicles, Pokémon, Ace Attorney, even Professor Layton's got a movie.

I think the "Tales of" series would make for pretty good anime. They've already got the anime style going for them and you're not really losing much by taking out the 'game' part of it. You could probably make a good anime out of Coffee Talk, one of those do-nothing and relax, 'iyashikei' kind of games. Edit: Also Tomb Raider. It's got such a long history of multimedia that it could probably get away with it. I liked the Angelina Jolie movie, at least.

-FFVI With the art style of Yoshitaka amano. More focus on the character’s arcs and personal drama above the fantasy adventure elements.

-Xenogears
-Killer7
-Detention
-Disco Elysium
-Grim Fandango
-Planescape Torment
-Snatcher

Catherine. I don't know how they would adapt it, since this game has multiple endings, but it would be interesting.

None. Games should never, in any circumstances, be adapted into anime. It'd be just stripping them from everything they are supposed to be.
Also: They are never good.

Namco's Breakdown, I guess and maybe that would help expand the sci-fi genre. We don't get to see supersoldiers fighting extradimensional supervillains in anime very often.

Final Fantasy X (because i'm a FFX fag)
Stardew Valley could be made into a cozy slice of life

I would love to see something based on Half-Life, but i think it would take a lot of work to rewrite it from a FPS game with its slow story progression, considering that Gordon is alone for most of the time.

I would like to see an Assassins Creed adaptation, preferably during the Ezio trilogy (AC 2, Brotherhood & Revelations) as they are what defined the whole franchise. I think it would be an excellent historical-action-mystery-thriller series if it has the proper writing and animation to go with it (including the scenes outside the animus with Desmond and all that.)

(Maybe I'm just hyped for the new Valhalla game coming this Christmas :p)

Also maybe Wii Sports, who knows?


You are a man of culture, of pure focus, commitment and sheer will.

I cannot be more agree with you...

Here's my list...

-Any Fire Emblem (would make an excellent anime)
-The Last Story (a game from the Wii console)
-NieR: Automata (hell, I'd pay for see this as a proper series)
-Assassin's Creed (especially for Altaïr and/or Ezio's story)
-Street Fighter (nah, Victory, the movie and Alpha are not enough for me)
-Dark Stalkers (a better character design, a good writer and you could have one of the best series ever. Also, I've seen the OVA)
-Luminous Arc (a game from the Nintendo DS. In essence, similar to Zero no Tsukaima, but I'd pay for see something like that!)
-Maybe King of Fighters???
-Samurai Shodown
-Xenosaga (but with a better design and writing)
-Soul Calibur (I believe it may become an excellent anime series)
-Maybe Guilty Gear???

I think I'm more afraid of the adaption being just another garbage than actually happy that someone is adapting my favourite game. So I'd say I prefer they don't get any adaptions, better stay in videogames haha

Possibly some continuation of the story.

Metal Gear Solid should be an seinen anime. But with a streamlined story for the love of God.

I also think Bloodborne could be a great inspiration for an anime. Not directly using their story but I would love an anime with inspiration in HP Lovecraft's ideas.

Anime adaptations of videogames from the past does not makes me want to see any new one.

With that said, after watching the Persona 2 anime trailer for a seemingly cancelled 2000 adaptation of the game makes me think that I would've enjoyed it, too bad it never happened.

Do board games count? Haha... I have a friend who is completely obsessed with this board game called The Legend of the Five Rings. It has a deck-building game as well that shares the same lore/setting/characters. Anyways, while the games are only mildly amusing at best, I’ve always thought the world it’s set in would make for an excellent anime series. It’s inspired by ancient Japanese history and takes place in Rokugan, a country where seven clans fight for supremacy. It’s filled with Samurai, monks, and various kami spirits! If an anime series based on that franchise were ever made, I would certainly give it a watch!

Homeworld. The mothership/fleet going through all that stuff to reach home. Would make a great sci-fi. Military planning, space diplomacy, hotshot pilots, comic relief hangar crew, deploying new technologies, epic battles... Great overall storytelling potential.

Dude I would really like a well made Azure striker gunvolt anime. 1st and 2nd game and maybe luminous avenger ix as a spinoff idk.

I was so excited about the OVA that came out back in like 2017. After I payed like 5 bucks for it, I was given bad animation, art, voice acting. I was so upset.

I'd love it if they made it well, expand on the world and other characters. It could be a cool action, sci-fi with a dark twist...because when you defeat a boss, they're dead. And all the characters are freaking children. Let's get it.

Yes, The worst option is the live action, with no doubt. What could work is a anime.

Sometimes I imagine Kingdom hearts in that Final Fantasy VII Advent children CGI, well in the end the most important thing is follow the formula of the game, Square doing the anime/whatever they do since is not a live action, While Disney stays there in Wonderland.

I'd be fine with either anime or cartoon, just have it animated otherwise it'll just feel all... wrong.
Besides, it's Disney, why wouldn't you use the opportunity to use the medium that the company is known for in the first place?

Damn that image looks pretty good! Is that fan art of KH2 or something?

I haven't seen that other than a few GIFs people put of it on their profiles here, so idk what to say about your idea there. All I can really say is that would definitely be an infinitely much better idea than using live action, even if it saves some "small indie company" like frickin Disney a couple of bucks or something

I think that Fire Emblem has the potential to be an anime, just like Persona but using actual content of the games. And FEH could be a long side anime to know more of each character.

And LOL was already doing something, don't know if it will be anime or just short cartoon episodes.
