<\/figure>\n

The normal process for creating an anime series<\/a> or film is to wait and see how well a manga sells then translate that into moving pictures once the series already has a decent audience. While sometimes an anime series will be created without any pre-existing story to pull from, at other times, it will pull from other sources, such as video games, instead.<\/p>\n

Considering how big the JRPG genre<\/a> is, not only in Japan but in the world at large, it should be no surprise that a large portion of these anime series modeled after video games come from various JPRGs. Not all of these anime, or games, are worth the time investment to watch or play, though a few have gone on to become some of the more popular\u00a0representatives of their medium.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Ni No Kuni<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

First released in 2010 on the Nintendo DS before being re-released on more powerful consoles\u00a0to near-unanimous critical acclaim,\u00a0Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch<\/em><\/a> is a JRPG that takes several cues from monster taming games<\/a> in its first outing before abandoning this aspect in favor of an action RPG for\u00a0its sequel,\u00a0Revenant Kingdom<\/em>. In 2019, an animated film was released that, while not carrying over any of the same characters as either\u00a0Wrath of the White Witch<\/em> or\u00a0Revenant Kingdom<\/em>, was set in the same fantastical universe and featured the same world traversal aspects that were found in both games with Oliver and Roland.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Tales Series<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The\u00a0Tales<\/em> series of RPGs is absolutely enormous, spanning nearly two dozen games released over the last 25 years, and is considered the third-largest RPG series behind\u00a0Final Fantasy<\/em> and\u00a0Dragon Quest<\/em><\/a>. Considering both of these series also have their own cinematic adaptations, it should be no surprise that the\u00a0Tales<\/em> series was also translated into anime form with adaptations of several of the series’ main titles, such as\u00a0Tales of Vesperia<\/em> and\u00a0Tales of Phantasia<\/em>.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Yo-Kai Watch<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Although it has largely fallen by the wayside, in no small part due to the insistence to not localize the series outside of Japan,\u00a0Yo-Kai<\/em> Watch<\/em> was once a serious competitor to\u00a0Pokemon<\/em>, both in its video games and anime form and is largely the reason why the Alola season of\u00a0Pokemon<\/em><\/a> was so vastly different from everything that came before it.<\/p>\n

Unlike\u00a0Pokemon<\/em>, which follows its own story while having a vague association with the video game series,\u00a0Yo-Kai Watch<\/em>‘s<\/em> anime and video games follow largely the same storylines, though the video games translate the slice-of-life aspect of the show into a more dramatic engagement with additional conflict and villains.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Persona<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The\u00a0Persona<\/em><\/a> series has seen something of a resurgence in the west in recent years, with\u00a0Persona 5<\/em> and its various expansions being some of the most well-received RPGs on the PS4. As the characters and story are what draw most gamers into the\u00a0Persona<\/em> series, this is the aspect that the anime adaptations focus on the most, being something of an animated retelling of the events of the video games. So far, there is an animated sequel to\u00a0Persona 3<\/em> in\u00a0Persona: Trinity Soul<\/em> as well as an anime retelling of\u00a0Persona 4<\/em> and Persona<\/em>\u00a05<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Pokemon<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It’s impossible to mention anime born from video games without mentioning\u00a0Pokemon<\/em>. Although many fans find the timeline of when each iteration of the\u00a0Pokemon<\/em> world was released, the video games were the first to be released, followed shortly by the anime and various manga series. In general,\u00a0the\u00a0Pokemon<\/em> anime doesn’t follow the same stories as found in the video game series, though several story elements, such as the various evil Team’s criminal activities, as well as some in-game events like the sleeping Snorlax in\u00a0X & Y<\/em><\/a>, do carry over into the anime.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Night Wizard<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Although the\u00a0Night Wizard<\/em> series began life as a fantasy tabletop RPG, it would later go on to expand into two fairly unknown video games that didn’t release outside of Japan, as well as subsequent anime and manga series.\u00a0Night Wizard<\/em>\u00a0isn’t the best-reviewed anime adaptation, generally garnering fairly middling reviews that amount to “not bad, but not great,” but it does successfully bring both the tabletop RPG and the video games to life in anime form fairly faithfully.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Ys<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Like the\u00a0Tales<\/em> series of video games,\u00a0Ys<\/em> was a fairly unknown JRPG series when compared to the likes of\u00a0Final Fantasy<\/em> or\u00a0Dragon Quest<\/em> until fairly recently with the release of\u00a0Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana<\/em><\/a>, which managed to be a great competitor to\u00a0Xenoblade Chronicles 2<\/em><\/a> at the time it was released.<\/p>\n

However, the animated spin on this world was released very early in the game series’ life, releasing one OVA in 1989 and a second in 1993 that follow the first and second games in the series respectfully.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Dragon Quest<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Although the\u00a0Dragon Quest<\/em> series’ anime spin-offs have had about as much success as most other video game adaptations, it has at least, for the most part, stayed faithful to the original art style of Akira Toriyama. So far,\u00a0Dragon Quest<\/em> has been adapted into two anime series,\u00a0The Adventure of Dai<\/em> and\u00a0Legend of the Hero Abel<\/em>, though more recently it has also been turned into a CG anime film,\u00a0Your Story<\/em>, that follows the events of\u00a0Dragon Quest<\/em> V<\/em><\/a>, which was criticized for not using Toriyama’s original designs and its choice of voice actors.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Blue Dragon<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Blue Dragon<\/em> is something of an underground hit when it comes to JRPGs, being released on the Xbox 360<\/a> to varying degrees of success, with critics both loving and hating its adherence to traditional RPG designs.\u00a0Blue Dragon<\/em> was also the first Xbox 360 game to span over multiple discs, something that happened far more frequently during the PlayStation era than the PlayStation 3. Once again, the character designs for\u00a0Blue Dragon<\/em> were done by Akira Toriyama, though this time, the anime series kept his iconic art style intact in the transition to the anime medium.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Although the\u00a0Final Fantasy<\/em><\/a> series has had adaptations in the past, such as the\u00a0Final Fantasy VII<\/em><\/a> film Advent Children<\/em> or the in-name-only Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within<\/em> film that released in 2001. However,\u00a0while there have been several anime adaptations of the\u00a0Final Fantasy<\/em> universe, few have been as successful as\u00a0Brotherhood: Final Fantasy XV<\/em>, which takes place during the event of\u00a0Final Fantasy XV<\/em><\/a> and gives a backstory to the main characters, particularly Noctis.<\/p>\n
