There are a lot of video games that have 아니메 about them. 당신 have classics like Persona 4: The Animation, Devil May Cry, and of course Pokemon. And with new 아니메 based on video games, like Phoenix Wright having a pretty good 아니메 series, and with Castlevania being announced to have a 아니메 some time in the future, it makes me wonder if there are other video games that could have some pretty neat anime. So, today, I want to share with 당신 some 아니메 that could have the potential to have their own anime. Now, before I start, there are some things to address. First off, I am only including games that have no sort of anime, including 아니메 movies. That includes the Mario and Animal Crossing 아니메 movies, so none of those. Secondly, they have to have originated from Japan, so no western game animes. Those are 더 많이 likely to get terrible live action 영화 instead of an anime. And third, only games that I feel would have the best appeal to be an anime. This may differ from what 당신 want in an 아니메 compared to what I want in an anime, but that’s the joy of having an opinion. So, let’s start with the list.
#10: Resident Evil
Okay, so technically, Resident Evil doesn’t have an anime. It does have an animated movie. Two in fact, with a third one on the way. But, they were animated with CGI. Sure, 당신 could argue that Berserk 2016 is an 아니메 with CGI animation… But we don’t talk about that anime. No we do not. Besides, I want to see one based on the actual games. Try to picture the first scene where Jill runs into the first zombie of the game, who then comes right after Jill, all with some neat 아니메 art style. If I could picture it being like anything, here’s what I think. I think that the best 아니메 to compare to a Resident Evil 아니메 would probably be Hellsing Ultimate. For the first three games, which had 더 많이 focus on horror, I could picture the characters and the zombies having a sort of Hellsing Ultimate art style, complete with the violence, and despite Hellsing having lots of action sequences, it can have some horror in it to. As for the later Resident Evil games, like four, it can definitely have 더 많이 action in like the Hellsing 아니메 had. Probably try and give it the same artstyle 의해 Studio Madhouse. That would definitely be an interesting sort of 아니메 to watch. Sure, with Sony Pictures having the rights to everything Resident Evil that goes into theaters and TV, it may not happen, but I really wish it could.
#9: Trauma Center
This won’t be the first Atlus game that you’ll see on this list. After the huge success with Persona’s 3 and 4, and both of them getting an 아니메 (Persona 4 getting two different kinds of anime), you’d think that other Atlus titles would get much 더 많이 love. Well, as great as they are, they aren’t as 인기 with the mainstream, and it’s this reason why their may never be a fully fledged 아니메 on it. Trauma Center may seem like your typical hospital drama, complete with doctors trying to save their patients, and with a deadly disease that is killing people, but it can lead to some serious subjects, like suicides, child death, epidemics, bioterrorism, murders. If Phoenix Wright can make court interesting, and still get an anime, than I still have some high hopes from Trauma Center. If I had to guess what style it would be in, I say it should keep the style in had in the games. Technically, Trauma Center is an 아니메 on it’s own, just an interactive one. It could keep the same art style that Atlus gave the franchise, like how Persona 4 was able to keep its art style when it shifted to anime. It could probably be pretty neat. The 아니메 would probably be best suited if 당신 can handle a pretty tense anime. And yes, a game about a hospital and playing as a doctor can be intense, and it isn’t easy, I can assure 당신 that.
#8: Ghosts n Goblins
Remember Ghosts n Goblins? It was a pretty hard series that Capcom once talked about before forgetting you. 당신 people think that Capcom forgot Mega Man, but try looking at Ghosts n Goblins. The latest game in that franchise was a mobile game, and nobody likes mobile games. Ignore all the sales Pokemon Go has. The internet says everybody hates mobile games. Now back on the subject, there may not be too much potential to work with to create an 아니메 on Ghosts n Goblins, but perhaps they could do something like the old 만화 of the 80s… Just maybe make this a little less cheesy like those cartoons. It would probably be something like an 아니메 for younger audiences, that has monsters and lots of fighting giant monster of the week enemies, with The Devil being the main villain, sending monsters to destroy a city 또는 kidnap Princess Guinevere 또는 something like that. As for art style, I think one that the same style that of something like the Fairy Tail. Have some simple character designs, but some pretty terrifying monster designs. Since Ghosts n Goblins isn’t exactly a violent game, and seems a little light hearted compared to some 더 많이 serious Capcom games (As serious as their games get), I think that art style would fit nicely with it. Maybe if Capcom ever bothers to try and revive the franchise, we may get something like that.
#7: Metroid
Remember when everyone loved Metroid before Federation Force? Yeah, me too. Anyway, Metroid was a pretty 인기 game back in the day, and was definitely 더 많이 mature and dark than most of Nintendo’s light hearted games. There was even a 망가 based on the game that help explained the story of Metroid more. So, why hasn’t their been an anime. Come on, it was the early 2000s. Kids loved 우주 during that time, and kids loved video games at that time, and kids loved watching TV. 당신 didn’t think that maybe an 아니메 based on the show would be a great idea? Metroid would take place in space, probably having a lot of quiet moments, since Samus isn’t exactly the most talkative 닌텐도 character (Like all 닌텐도 characters), and she would most likely just be fighting an alien of the week sort of creature, which would come and try to mess everything up in some 우주 station 또는 planet, and probably face recurring enemies like Ridley and the 우주 Pirates. Now, for an art style. I’d say that it would probably be anything that was set in space. I can’t decide between Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop, Mobile Suit Gundam, so screw it. Any 아니메 set in 우주 would fit perfectly with the style of Metroid. I mean, you’ll most likely see blackness and some stars, so it probably won’t be much to worry about the art.
#6: Jet Set Radio
Hey, Sega. Stop making so many Sonic games and make a new Jet Set Radio already. Anyway, the cel shading of Jet Set Radio really gives it a unique sort of look. It may not be so easy to put into 아니메 format, but I’m sure we can find something. An 아니메 about rebellious youths spreading their feelings and emotions through graffiti (Because 글쓰기 and drawing just wasn’t good enough). With graffiti being illegal and resulting in public execution, the rebel gang of the GGs fight back with their spray paint. Sounds pretty silly, but what would 당신 expect from a game where your characters look like the Blade Runner version of hipsters, what do 당신 expect? So, for the art style of a Jet Set Radio anime, I would probably picture something 의해 creator Hiroyuki Imaishi, artist behind Kill la Kill, Gurren Lagann, Panty and Stocking, but Fooly Cooly’s art would fit Jet Set Radio perfectly. That fluent style of 애니메이션 and the different kinds of angles 당신 could probably get with the skating would be amazing. If Kill la Kill could show 당신 every angle of a woman that 당신 didn’t even know 당신 could see 또는 didn’t know 당신 wanted to see, than I’m sure this style can show 당신 all the angles of a Jet Set Radio anime.
#5: Silent Hill
Would an 아니메 quite possibly ruin the feeling of Silent Hill? Well, 의해 this point, I don’t think Silent 언덕, 힐 could be 더 많이 ruined than it already is. So, Silent Hill… It’s a pretty messed up game. Characters going through internal suffering of their own life, having to deal with the hardships of life, and suffering with their own issues in depression, hanger, and hatred. Meeting characters who are just as imperfect as they are and are all holding secrets from others that they do not wish to show to others. Monsters all based on the psyche of the characters that shows the true terror that lies inside them. Silent 언덕, 힐 is quite a game. A very screwed up one, and that’s why I 사랑 it. So, naturally, there needs to be an 아니메 based it. I rarely hear of 아니메 based on horror games, but I really would 사랑 to see one come in the form of a Silent 언덕, 힐 anime. As for the animation, I would like to see it look something like Serial Experiments Lain, which would really fit he imagery. For 더 많이 human-like designs, I think that the 애니메이션 style of Monster would work well too. They are both very good for a Silent 언덕, 힐 anime, at least in my eyes anyway. Sure, the chances of a Silent 언덕, 힐 아니메 또는 Silent 언덕, 힐 anything that isn’t a pachinko machine are slimmer than ever before, but I still want this to be a thing.
#4: Catherine
I said that there would be another Atlus game on this list. And this is one that sadly doesn’t get as much attention as it deserves. Given that most of the game is around puzzle solving and deciding whether 당신 would prefer a mature 또는 wild girl. The main character, Vincent, is your typical loser who must decide if he wishes to be honest with his girlfriend Katherine, 또는 to have as much fun as he can with Catherine (You can tell their different because their names are spelled differently). He must also solve puzzles in his dream, and if he dies in the dream, he dies in real life. It’s kinda like that one 아니메 that everyone can’t seem to stop talking about despite the fact that I just want it to die already… 당신 know what I mean, right……….. Sword Art Online! There, I said it! Yell at me now and ignore everything else in this article. Anyway, once again, I think the art style of Catherine was really good. If 당신 were to show me just the cutscenes, I would have thought this was an anime. So, if they do decide to make Catherine into a fully fledged anime, I think that they should just keep the same art style from the game and use it as the anime's animation. Is that called being lazy? Well, I consider it being loyal to the 출처 material, with a hint of procrastination. It works for me just fine.
#3: Metal Gear Solid
To this day, I still wonder how Metal Gear Solid never got an anime? Was it because it was too close to American politics? I don’t know why, but I want it so bad. It could be the perfect action 아니메 that we all want. So, with an 아니메 complete with giant war machines that are all trying to be grabbed 의해 terrorists, the soviets, and the U.S. military, different kinds of terrorist groups using it to either take the world hostage, destroy the mysterious Patriots that run politics, 또는 try to find some rare treasure 의해 starting World War III, and a very gruffly voiced protagonist with all sorts of skills learned 의해 his father who he was genetically cloned from. Of course that sounds like an awesome anime. While I was intent on considering the 애니메이션 for Black Lagoon on this list, I decided not to, because that would 더 많이 fit in an 아니메 that is all action, like a Schwarzenegger movie. For Metal Gear Solid, I think the best thing to use would be the 애니메이션 similar to Code Geass. I mean, Code Geass is actually kinda close to Metal Gear Solid in a way. It’s got a protagonist with questionable morals, it’s got political turmoil all over the world, it’s got war machines used 의해 different groups, it’s perfect. Not to mention, the 애니메이션 and the fluent character movements would really look well for a Metal Gear Solid anime. All of the crazy jokes 의해 Kojima 당신 could ever hope to see in 아니메 form.
#2: Dark Souls
Yeah, 당신 all probably saw this one coming. Dark Souls is just the perfect world to has as a sort of violent and disturbing sort of anime. With all the different kinds of environments from the rundown and abandoned Undead Burg to the beautiful yet empty city of Anor Londo. All of the disgusting and terrifying monsters are something that would be perfect to animate in a sort of style. And of course, who wouldn’t want to see that sort of combat take place in the world of Dark Souls. It would probably have to change a few things in the story to fit the 아니메 format better, but Dark Souls wasn’t known for being direct with it’s story, so I think creating their own story would work well. As for art style… Well, since Dark Souls was inspired 의해 the Berserk series, I think that it’s only fair that Dark Souls is animated like Berserk… And not that 2016 one. No, I mean the 1997. Sure, that may be a little dated, but it still manages to look impressive. And be honest, 당신 want to see Gravelord Nito fully animated in all of that Berserk style glory.
#1: Legend of Zelda
Of all the thirty years that Zelda has been around, there hasn’t been one point where the Legend of Zelda has even gotten a single notice of getting an anime. Oh, but thank goodness it got that cheesy cartoon from the 80s. At least we got that, am I right? Anyway, the Legend of Zelda is a massively 인기 game. Everyone has heard of it, and everyone who has played it loves it (Most of the time when they don’t say that it ripped off Minecraft). It has so many different stories, so much characters, and oh so much potential to have with it. I think that, with it’s story telling, it could be like Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure. Tell one story, probably start from the beginning of the Legend of Zelda timeline, and then 옮기기 on to the 다음 main character. Even do the alternate reality thing like Jojo did with Steel Ball Run. But, as for animation, I don’t think the Jojo style would work for Zelda. I think that the best style to use for the Legend of Zelda would probably be something like Fullmetal Alchemist. The landscapes in that 아니메 were gorgeous, and they would fit perfectly if they were used to show the places in the Zelda games. And the lighting and character designs would fit the world of Zelda perfectly. Now come on, Nintendo. Please let there be a Zelda anime. 당신 already have a manga, so please just create an 아니메 of it. I’m desperate here.
#10: Resident Evil
Okay, so technically, Resident Evil doesn’t have an anime. It does have an animated movie. Two in fact, with a third one on the way. But, they were animated with CGI. Sure, 당신 could argue that Berserk 2016 is an 아니메 with CGI animation… But we don’t talk about that anime. No we do not. Besides, I want to see one based on the actual games. Try to picture the first scene where Jill runs into the first zombie of the game, who then comes right after Jill, all with some neat 아니메 art style. If I could picture it being like anything, here’s what I think. I think that the best 아니메 to compare to a Resident Evil 아니메 would probably be Hellsing Ultimate. For the first three games, which had 더 많이 focus on horror, I could picture the characters and the zombies having a sort of Hellsing Ultimate art style, complete with the violence, and despite Hellsing having lots of action sequences, it can have some horror in it to.
