Many games get their own anime series adaptations, which in practice usually turn out better than the average game-to-film transition. Online magazine Dengeki polled its readers as to which game they'd most like to see as an anime, and Atlus' RPG Persona 4 topped the list.
That's a great thing, since I'm a big fat Persona fanboy, but other worthy games followed in the rankings:
- Persona 4
- Phoenix Wright
- Okami
- Kingdom Hearts
- Idolm@ster
- Metal Gear Solid
- Yakuza
- BlazBlue
- Persona 3
- Ateleir Rorona
While some games are more suited to adaptation than others, I would personally prefer a Persona 3 adaptation to Persona 4, partly for reasons I can't elaborate on lest I spoil the game, and also because it has an (admittedly loose) connection to Persona: Trinity Soul. While Trinity Soul wasn't much of a triumph, a Persona 3 anime could act as a prequel of sorts and give the franchise a stronger sense of continuity.
What about you? Are there any other games you'd like to see on the list? Hit the jump for a Persona 4 anime concept OP (Spoiler Warning).
