Video games and anime go hand in hand, and if someone is a fan of one, they're usually a fan of thꦬe other. And if not, well... Then they're simply just missing out. Anime has positively exploded over the last decade or so, becoming more popular with each and every new title to make Crunchyroll lists. While the anime scene is growing quite prolifically, the video game scene is adapting and growing as well, converting our most well-loved anime scenes into play෴able game storylines.
With that being said, there are still some anime shows that we would absolutely love to see turned into RPGs. While it would make our tiny anime-loving hearts squee with joy to see them modeled after Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot, we'd be psyched just to be able to see them in action on our PCs or game consoles. So here are ten slightly random, completely epic anime series that we're rooting for in the years to come... *hint hint, develop𒅌ers*.
10 ♉Darling In The Franxx
What began as a manga (as most great anime does), Darling in the Franxx has quickly turned into a cult classic for fans of Mecha and general anime alike. Some will a✱rgue that the swapping out of anime studios midway through the show is what started its downfall, others will claim that the anime was flawless from start to finish.
Regardless, there's no denying that we wouldn't love to st෴rap into a Franxx, pick a darling (multi-player, perhaps?🗹) and take on Klaxosaurs. Additionally, we'd love to have the chance to man Strelitzia at least once, especially with the bombtastic music that always accompanies stampede mode.
9 Parasyte: The Maxi🅺m
The manga was just as beautifully gruesome as the anime, for those wondering. If you haven't watched Parasyte: The Maxim, here's your sign to go watch it - the dubbed version is even on Hulu for those who ꦿaren't about subtitles.
We'd love to see a game with some kind of character customization here; it would be even more awesome if you could 🐻choose your 'parasyte' just ဣlike you would choose a class type in a normal RPG. Then again, we'd be just as happy fighting rage-filled, haunting parasites as Shinichi and Migi.
8 ಌ Sailor 🌱Moon Crystal
It's a little shocking that there hasn't been a major game with everyone's favorite sailor scouts, at least not one good enough to make it to the modern age. A Sailor Moon RPG, specially modeled after 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Sailor Moon Crystal (since they 𒐪finally got it right), would be amazing.
The ability to fight as a party with the other scouts, and with ultimate attacks in the form of tiara throws and c🐬rystal power, is all we could ever ask for. Also, we're not saying we need it, but a romance arch between Usagi and Tuxedo Mask wouldn't be completely out of the question, either.
7 Violet Ev🃏ergarden
While Violet Evergarden isn't what most would consider a 'franchise' since it was created by Netflix, we decided to include it because of one reason. With an anime such as this, with little action and high emotion, we could see a Forgotten Anne type of gameplay with this title.
It would lean more on the side of decision-making and random, non-confrontational quests, all while following Viol🌠et's story from the anime. It might not be as high-intensity as some of the others, but it would be sweet nonetheless... We'll go stock up on tissues now.
6 Charlotte
Charlotte isn't a hugely popular anime, but it is entertaining and action-filled, all ⛎the same. For those who don't know, each of ⛄the characters in this anime have been gifted with a strange, albeit unique, power.
The catch is that their powers only last seconds at most, leaving them to be creative with how they bring about justice. This would make a great (and slightly frustrating) game, since it already feels like it could an original game title. The anime style of this Charlotte mak⛎es it that much m﷽ore fun to watch, and we'd love to see it as an RPG.
5 Inuyasha
Why has no one created this yet?! is perhaps one of the most well-known anime shows and, similar to Sailor Moon, it's beyond us why there has been no TV-to-consol🀅e creation yet.
A concept like this could be adapted easily into video game form; with so many enemies to choose from and powerful protagonists, we could see it following suit with the likes of Dragon Ball. Then again, for some Inuyasha purists♒, a video game could potentially take 🌠away some of the magic of watching it all unfold on-screen.
4 Sword Art Online,♎ Done The Right Way
There's no way we were creating this list and not pointing out that Sword Art Online deserves a reboot. 🍬Heck, let's ꧋call it a remake, since none of the games were really anything we had in mind.
The open-world concepts, limited gameplay꧒, and somewhat boring game mechanics made the game fun temporarily, but that's abo𒐪ut it. This franchise deserves so much more than what the original three games brought to it, and we'd love for the game to be more involved, more intense, and a bit more customizable.
3 Death Note ꦑ
Death Note is a bit tricky when it comes to thinking of gameplay. It could be decision-based, but we can't help but wonder if that would make the game boring. Regardless, this anime stands alꦿone in a brilliant storyline combined with some of the most unique characters of any other.
That alone would make it a great visual component for a game, although we're a little lost on how it would be carried out. What we can say, however, is that those gꩵame-based decisions would certainly weight heavily on the player.
2 Date A Live 🅺 🐷
Yet another fun anime that should be more popular than it is. Date A Live has a unique concept with some interesting 'Spirits' to go with it. As with any anime of this nature, the idea of one love interest for about ten girls isn't unusual. So would this be a Persona type of game, where the player has the option to romance anyone or ever🐬yone?
Or would it be more battle-based, allowing the player to switch between Spirits in order to save the world? It's interesting to think about, that's for sure. Side note: We're disregarding Rio-Reincarnation that recently came ou🍰t for the PS4... We wℱant a true RPG!
1 💝 Cardcaptor Sakura
Cardcaptor Sakura ran from 1996 all the way into 2000, 𒁏and seems to be coming back in popularity. While not everyone's cup of Sakura tea, this anime did win some praise back in the day and still brings back fond memories for those of us early anime-watchers.
This could easily be a game and while the demand isn't necessarily there, we could easily see this going hand-in-hand with a Sailor Moon-style RPG. Complete with a character party, various attacks (and weapons!), Cardcaptor Sakura: The RPG is definitely on our wishlist.
