5 Anime Based On Video Games

Let's take a look at some anime video game adaptations.

Video games and anime have always had some things in common: both are animated, used to be niche interests, criticized for the lack of depth and said to be made just for kids. No wonder, these two types of media have become intertwined in one way or another, and you may notice that your favorite anime content creators have probably talked about video games, too, at some point.

And today we're going to elaborate on this topic and present some anime that were based on video games to you.

Cyberpunk Edgerunners

Based on the Cyberpunk 2077 video game by CD Projekt RED, the anime tells us a story of a street kid losing everything dear to him but still deciding to live and become an Edgerunner — a mercenary on the wrong side of the law. Drama and spectacular action ensue!

Nier: Automata Ver 1.1a

This series is based on the action role-playing game Nier: Automata. The game has a strong, but actually kinda weird story, and the anime follows suit. Existential drama about a post-apocalyptic world ruled by machine forms tells you the story of androids trying to take back control of the Earth. This depressing story about love, hate, revenge and the sense of attachment will not leave you emotionless.

The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf

Another animated series based on a game by CD Projekt RED, but this time the original source is one of the most admired games in the world: The Witcher series. The anime explores the story of Geralt's mentor, Vesemir, and takes us back to the fascinating world of dangerous mythological creatures and brave witchers made to hunt them.

Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV

The anime is based on the Final Fantasy XV game. Set within the events of the game, the series provides the viewers with some additional details about the backstories of the main protagonist and a crown prince, Noctis, and his close friends. The anime continues the main story of the game and gives us more depth into its characters.

Castlevania

Watch the anime and see for yourself!
