| Yes, visual novels do count. Only criteria is the anime has to be based on a real game, like Mario or Street Fighter. No sword art online or things that were based on a fictional game. |

| Dies Irae is one of the lowest scoring TV anime iirc. And unlike School Days, it's based on a critically acclaimed game. |

| If you mean best and worst adaptation in terms of following the source material, Pokemon Origins is quite faithful, deviates at the end with Mega evolution, but the progression is very close to the game. If just being based on a game is enough and entertainment is what matter, then Street Fighter anime are a funny case because the best ones, IMO, are very loosely based on the game, like Street Fighter II V, or more based on the canon of the Udon Comics than the game lore itself, like Street Fighter Alpha: Generations. When they tried to be more faithful they got very boring. Bayonetta Bloody Fate is bad no matter what. |
| Visual Novels aren’t video games. Reading isn’t a gameplay mechanic. |
 |
| Best is Clannad worst is Tales of the Abyss. |
 |
| With VN, the best is Steins;Gate The worst I don't have the slightest idea |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Perhaps, this is hell. |
| Tsukihime's anime adaptation by J.C staff It's so bad that type moon fans won't even acknowledge it's existence, OST is pretty good tho |
| I recommend these 2 from my list of favorite anime based on video games. Have fun watching! Scarlet Nexus Shenmue the Animation |

| They fucking murdered Ace Attorney in both adaptations. Also Persona 5. Haven't seen Corpse Party's adaptation yet, so I'll get back to you on that one. |

Tendo_GM said: Visual Novels aren’t video games. Reading isn’t a gameplay mechanic. Well that's a debate, there are more "Engaging" VNs that could count as games: -Ace Attorney -Zero Escape -Danganronpa -AI The Somnium Files -Corpse Party (I'd also include P3P here, due to it's stripped down gameplay mechanics in favor of a more VN style) To name some examples But true, most VNs follow the "static" VN formula like: -Higurashi/Umineko -Any Sci:Advi VN -Root Letter -Practically any Hentai VN |

Also Persona 5. haven't seen Persona 5's anime but I came across the other day, meme aside what the hell is this guess it's to be expected that both this and the Ace Attorney anime were handled by the same studio also, last year the anime industry did TWEWY dirty... reaaaaaaaally dirty what the hell Square Enix :'( |

| I think visual novel adaptation will always be inferior unless the animation is high budget which is obviously not the case. grisaia felt like it could have been better. |
| Best: Tales of Zestiria the Cross (the second season wasn't that good though) Worst: I'm not sure |
 |
| Almost all of them suck. The best is Kemono Friends. |

official_brown said: Good adaptation - Danganronpa. Frankly the games time system is really bad and overall the game is a bunch of fluff, the game cuts it down and basically perfects the story of the game. Idk why other people complain when it's simply better. Bad adaptation - Persona 5. Game is perfect but the show is completely rushed with one of the worst CGI fights I have ever seen. The danganronpa adaptation, while not horrible, is not a great adaptation of the material. The pacing is all over the place, hang out times are almost all removed, and character motivations and moments are just not translated well. |

Tendo_GM said: Visual Novels aren’t video games. Reading isn’t a gameplay mechanic. Eh, that's debatable, there's a lot of classic text based rpg's and i consider them games. In all honesty, i included VN's because actual video game adaptations feel pretty rare so i wanted to expand the scope of the post. |

Text based RPGs are still player driven where you create your own character and your own journey, unlike VNs where you have little to no effect on the story and you’re basically just a participant. Understandable, but now you just made it a battle of VN adaptations… Discussing about only video game adaptations would’ve been a lot more interesting, a quest to find the one good video game adaptation. (PS. Fate/Grand Order Babylonia is the best video game adaptation) |

| All of my favourite games have gotten mediocre anime adaptations. The character designs for Ace Attorney looked dull. I just couldn't get into it. TWEWY anime was super rushed. The anime even skipped Neku's best monologues. I can go on ranting about other stuff but I won't. Let's not talk about the Pokemon anime since it's aimed at kids. I'm keeping my expectations low for the upcoming Arknights anime. Steins;Gate and F/SN Heaven's Feel trilogy are amazing. However I haven't read the VN for them. |
| Worst is Doll's frontline, you can't even understand it's anime unless you have played the game or VN. |
 The end of an era. Thank you Wit, Mappa and Isayama. Feeling half happy, half sad. Kawaii waifus and precious best girls <3333 |
| Devil Survivor 2 was terrible. All the Persona series and movies are kinda super mediocre as well. Tekken was absolute garbage. |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Hunt: Showdown 1896 again when you read this |
| Havent seen many (Does fate HF and UBW count). If not fate then the best would be either tales of zestiria x season one and God eater. Dont know about worst but maybe tsukihime. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Ah and best I would probably say Shingeki no Bahamut: Genesis. Brilliant with the little material they had. |
idk why I was here but I'm prob back to playing Hunt: Showdown 1896 again when you read this |
| unpopular opinion, but i genuinely think the school days adaptation was genius. by combining the worst endings in the VN, it immediately made me want to go buy the game so i could play through it and make things right. and you know what? i did. some people say that adaptations are just advertisements for the original product, and in this case, school days succeeded in making me buy something. you know, with that in mind, i wonder if game adaptations are bad on purpose? so people go and buy the game so they can get a better experience. i know i'm toying with the idea of getting a ps4 solely to play persona 5... |
| I don't care about vns so I haven't played any.... Like 4 maybe. They weren't anime'd. Nor are any of the games I played. But I must say I liked those 3d cgi final fantasy movies. |
