Your Favorite Videogame-To-Anime Adaptations

One thing I've always wondered since I started watching anime a few years ago is why there is so much hate towards anime adapted from videogames. Not light novel adaptations, as those are a different bag altogether, but rather shows adapted from more traditional videogames. I understand that, as with any genre, there is a large amount of generic and forgettable shows, but I find it hard to believe that most of those shows are of little to no quality!

And with that in mind I'd like to ask y'all what your favorite videogame-to-anime adaptations are! (If you have any)

My personal favorite is probably Akiba's Trip: The Animation. I haven't played the game myself, but as far as the show goes it is bright, energetic, and packed full of fun and over-the-top action! Not to mention the abundance of references to anime, videogames, and just otaku culture in general!

Thank y'all for reading and have a great day!

Can't think of too many good ones.
Hyperdimension Neptunia is pretty good, as is some of the Tekken OVAs & movies.

While the pacing's too accelerated and the anime's portrayal of how Tales characters do battle is a far cry from anything in the franchise, I adore Tales of the Abyss.

The adaptation is a love letter to the fandom with alot of effort put into it. On top of having lots of winks and nods only those who played the game will appreciate the significance of(the openings & endings being an example), they even incorporated content from the supplemental materials.

Fate/Stay Night is the best video game adaptation to anime

Persona 4. For me it's the best example of cramming a 100+ hour game into a 20+ episode show. Too bad they couldn't do that again with Golden. Or Persona 5. Or Persona 3. But that last one is because they decided to go the movie route for some reason. 3 could have worked as a series. Not as much stuff to work with as far as main plot points, so it could have easily fit into 24 episodes without feeling rushed like P5 imo.

https://myanimelist.net/anime/1362/Street_Fighter_II_Movie is the gold standard and imo will never be topped.
