The gaming world continually expands beyond its boundaries, venturing into other entertainment realms. Numerous video games have already inspired movies, TV series, and anime adaptations. But today, we’ll focus specifically on anime adaptations. What are the best video games that could become enjoyable anime series? We have some suggestions, but feel free to share your opinions with us!
Borderlands
Comedic, entertaining, and wildly unconventional, these qualities make Borderlands a prime candidate for a unique anime project. It could easily capitalize on the series’ distinctive traits, perhaps even introducing a new villain no less charismatic than Handsome Jack or humorous as Claptrap.
There’s always room to adapt existing stories and characters from the series into a short anime series and then introduce new narratives later. A Borderlands anime would undoubtedly be worth watching—a delicious anime feast indeed!
Bioshock
To this day, Bioshock remains among the greatest video games and shooters, known for its masterful storytelling and intricate details. The submerged city’s atmosphere, philosophical exploration, and confrontation with moral dilemmas provide rich material for an anime adaptation crafted with genuine passion and creativity.
With careful scripting, the dystopian, underwater city of Rapture could captivate audiences, sparking intriguing philosophical discussions that anime fans would surely appreciate.
Max Payne
We might not find sufficient words to describe this deeply impactful series, cherished by many gamers, and this isn’t the right moment for such descriptions anyway!
Regardless of your personal connection with the series—or even if you haven’t played it—we believe it would be incredibly compelling to witness an anime adaptation capturing the series’ emotional depth and dark narrative across its three installments.
Although the Max Payne movie failed to impress audiences, could an anime adaptation be the right choice?
Yakuza
It’s genuinely baffling that we haven’t yet seen a Yakuza anime. The series originates from Japan—the heartland of anime! Yet, somehow, it remains untouched by anime adaptations.
Yakuza features numerous compelling narratives, notably the life of protagonist Kazuma Kiryu, chronicling his rise to power and the dramatic struggles he faces against the dark underworld of organized crime.
A franchise spanning over six main installments, Yakuza has abundant content and rich stories ideally suited for an anime focusing on Kazuma Kiryu’s dramatic saga!
Crash Bandicoot
A simple, comedic character who never speaks but is effortlessly lovable thanks to his simplicity, determination, and vibrant world filled with iconic villains and charming allies.
Why not consider a comedic anime highlighting this mischievous creature and his quirky adventures? Sonic and Mario have seen numerous adaptations, yet Crash Bandicoot remains relatively underrepresented. Perhaps this is the perfect chance to unlock creative potential and offer something genuinely entertaining.
We look forward to hearing your thoughts in the comments!
