What type of games do you wish had an anime adaptation? I'd go with:

Anarchy Reigns,
Asura's Wrath,
Metal Gear: Rising,
Ninja Gaiden

- beatmania IIDX sports anime, showing MC's struggle to get Kaiden and win KAC.
- DonPachi series. DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou already has an anime opening and it is glorious.
- Root Double: Before Crime * After Days. Do VNs count?

The king of fighters

I am going to go a little out there and say VA-11 Hall-A: Cyberpunk Bartender Action. I think it would be a interesting mix between slice of life and cyberpunk.
- Chlowah 7y
  I'd like to see that. In VA11 there was some world building, but generally you didn't know much about the world outside the bar. Part of that is due to show don't tell, which works well for a VN style game, but it left me wanting to know more about the world.
  I feel like if there was an anime for it then that could scratch that itch a bit
  
  edit: forgot I had a VA11 avatar on this site, so that's kinda funny
  AutumnRain 7y
  Just goes to show how much you like the VN! Yeah I have really been wanting a new cyberpunk anime for quite some time. I think VA-11 Hall-A would be a pretty interesting show but the one I really want to see is a Blade Runner anime directed by Shinichiro Watanabe. He short for Blade Runner 2049 was fantastic and a 25 episode series set in that world would be great.

  I don't think it will work that well as an anime. The game works cause you're directly engaging with the characters and making drinks to keep yourself occupied. In anime it will episode long just 2 character talking.
  Only way I see it working is if they expand on the characters and thus the world.
  AutumnRain 7y
  I think the characters are fleshed out enough for a short film or at most a 12 episode series. When I thought about it I was not thinking about a direct adaption of the VN but a loose adaption of the world and characters. I agree that the character interactions are the most important part and I think you can experiment with that and add new aspects to the characters.

  We'll hope for a better one...

Something with a promising plot like Final Fantasy VII Compilation. Can´t get through the game, the huge saving point gaps and the very old MMO feel are just not for me but heard the story line is very good.
- Removed 7y
  Is Final Fantasy VII Compilation something different from the base FF7 game?
  Anyway you can just wait for FF7 remake game.
  MadaraNeko 7y
  I already played the remake of FF7, for PC. Still ~30 minutes in between save points for me. Or maybe I just have no clue... the combat system is not my thing either (if it had one like Kingdom Hearts at least). Compilation = all related works to the FF7 game, for example other games that continue/flesh out the plot (in this case prequel on PSP and ~2 sequel movies).
  
  A complete remake would be awesome.
  Removed 7y
  I didn't mean remaster, I meant the complete remake in the style of FF XV.
  
  MadaraNeko 7y
  Oh wow, guess I got to consider a ps4 in the future. Am more of a PC gal though.
  Removed 7y
  I'm a pc gamer too. Though some ps4 exclusives do make me wanna get one.
  But I think that this FF7 is gonna come on pc since FFXV did too.
  B.t.w do you use Discord? Will add you there then.
Pockeyramune919 7y
Final Fantasy VIII and Mother 3

Undertale would be better as a CN show.
MikeZorD 7y
Maybe kingdom hearts? How crazy would that be?
- MadaraNeko 7y
  The story was way too confusing for me. xD Like it was all a dream, right? Or not?
  MikeZorD 7y
  I dunno, I'm actually in the process of playing the series, going to start the second game soon. But yeah that's why I asked, how crazy would it be? If people get confused by the story on the games, how would it fare in anime?
ZDTW 7y
Definitely Overwatch
Removed 7y
I don't play JRPG and they are probably more suited to being Anime but I'll talk of western games:
- Multiple season anime on Mass Effect & Dragon Age (the 2 movies that exists are shit)
- Assassin's Creed but with revamped & interesting plot. I see a lot of untapped potential in the series.
- Thief.
- Dishonored.
- Elder Scrolls just cause absolutely anything is possible and I love the lore of the world.
- God of War
- A Dues Ex game. There needs be a 4th wall breaking joke of Adam saying "I didn't ask for this." xD
- MadaraNeko 7y
  Elder Scrolls or Dragon Age anime... drools
Klaz1k 7y
Maybe It would be difficult to translate it well into an anime, since it's narrative is deeply engrained in it's game mechanics, but I would like an anime set in the Zero Escape franchise (I know that it exists an ONA but that's just a little part of the second game's first minutes)

Other than that, maybe one about the Fire Emblem franchise would be nice as well.
Tangyuan 7y
Hm...
- Okage Shadow King
- Drakengard (I don't care how much more popular Nier is...show it's predecessor some love! T^T)
- Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons
- Ib
- Akaya Akashiya Ayakashi no
glassknuckles 7y
A Metroid anime might be cool.

Nier Automata and Bloodborne
Removed 7y
But, but, Asura's Wrath is pretty much already is anime
Removed 7y
War of the Human Tanks series having anime adaptations would truly be a dream come true for me.
CryingLad 7y
My one is probably the dumbest one but I'd love to see an Anime adaptation of Katawa Shoujo.
It could be like 5 (40-ish minute) episodes focusing on each route or something like.

I just love the VN so much it really is becoming super unhealthy :P
Neb63 7y
The Zero Escape series. They have great stories and it would be interesting to see how a studio would pull it off.
- Removed 7y
  Interesting, I think the Zero Escape series wouldn't work outside of their current format for spoiler reasons.
TheAffico 7y
what about an adaptation for The Last of Us?
