[00:07] 10 video games that should be anime

[00:09] before we begin we publish new content

[00:12] every day so be sure to subscribe to our

[00:14] Channel and ring the bell to get

[00:16] notified about our latest videos for

[00:19] this list we're looking at video games

[00:20] and game series that we think would work

[00:22] well as a Japanese animated series or

[00:25] film we'll be excluding those that ever

[00:27] received an anime adaptation already

[00:29] like Phoenix Wright or Sonic the

[00:31] Hedgehog you might know everything I'm

[00:33] going to do but that's not going to help

[00:35] you since I know everything you're going

[00:37] to do strange number 10

[00:42] perfect dark series cover

[00:50] I'll secure the perimeter you get to the

[00:52] pickup point

[00:53] created by beloved game developers rare

[00:56] the perfect dog series follows Johanna

[00:58] dunk a secret agent and ex bounty hunter

[01:01] who works to unravel a shadowy corporate

[01:03] conspiracy involving aliens while its

[01:06] premise is intriguing enough that it

[01:08] could probably be adapted to any medium

[01:11] perfect darks cyberpunk aesthetic spy

[01:14] thriller themes and compelling female

[01:16] protagonists are especially evocative of

[01:19] anime such as ghost in the shell' the

[01:22] paranoid and twisted law and interesting

[01:24] combat displayed in the franchise could

[01:27] easily make for a perfectly dug perfect

[01:30] dark anime

[01:32] [Music]

[01:37] number nine Shantae series a thoroughly

[01:47] underrated platformer series the Shantae

[01:49] franchise stars its titular heroine egg

[01:52] half-genie

[01:53] he fights pirates and other evildoers

[01:55] the series's Arabian setting is an

[01:58] uncommon one in anime and the simple but

[02:00] memorable art style would naturally lend

[02:03] itself well to animation

[02:04] in addition shantae's abilities which

[02:07] include using her hair like a whip and

[02:09] transforming into various animals could

[02:11] make for some entertaining and creative

[02:13] fight scenes

[02:14] lastly the franchise's offbeat sense of

[02:17] humor would also translate well to the

[02:19] screen ensuring a funny and visually

[02:22] appealing anime

[02:25] [Music]

[02:29] number eight klonoa series

[02:36] in yet another franchise named after its

[02:39] protagonist klonoa is a cat rabbit boy

[02:41] thing who gets into a series of

[02:43] adventures either related to dreams or

[02:46] sent in dream worlds klonoa has a

[02:49] creative setting and character designs

[02:51] that aren't well suited to an anime as

[02:53] marketable characters and intriguing

[02:55] stories or great hooks for potential

[02:57] viewers though a Western animation film

[03:00] is supposedly in development scant

[03:02] information about it has been released

[03:04] plus we wouldn't mind seeing a

[03:06] television series either to allow for

[03:09] more development number 7 Kingdom Hearts

[03:19] series you're wrong I know now without a

[03:23] doubt Kingdom Hearts is light the epic

[03:29] crossover between Final Fantasy and

[03:31] Disney media is absolutely perfect for

[03:33] an anime adaptation - everything about

[03:36] the franchise from its character designs

[03:38] to its combat to its overcomplicated law

[03:41] and plots to its propensity for endless

[03:43] sequels with increasingly pretentious

[03:46] titles just screams anime the mashup of

[03:49] traditional Disney and Japanese

[03:51] animation would no doubt be beautiful

[03:53] and would likely draw in potential

[03:56] viewers worldwide given Disney's

[03:58] popularity though the rights and

[04:00] logistics would probably be tricky we

[04:02] just hope they leave out Atlantica too

[04:04] many bad memories

[04:15] number six metal gear series a military

[04:27] stealth action franchise metal gear may

[04:29] seem like a relatively standard video

[04:31] game series at first glance but look

[04:34] deeper and you'll see that it's heart is

[04:36] all anime thanks to the trademark style

[04:38] of creator Hideo Kojima the franchise's

[04:41] emphasis on action complex multi-layered

[04:44] stories as well as distinctive heroes

[04:46] and villains make it perfect for an

[04:48] animated adaptation Metal Gear also

[04:51] manages to seamlessly blend gritty

[04:53] realism with outlandish set pieces

[04:55] absurd character designs and

[04:57] over-the-top plots involving robots

[04:59] ghosts psychics and nano machines Otacon

[05:03] said it best it's like one of my

[05:05] Japanese animes number 5 the world ends

[05:09] with you just go the hell away all the

[05:18] world needs me set in a vision of Tokyo

[05:20] Shibuya district The World Ends With You

[05:23] is an action RPG that sees its

[05:25] protagonists battle against fellow dead

[05:27] people in a series of games the game has

[05:30] an urban fantasy setting pitting young

[05:33] people against each other in a strange

[05:35] contest both of which are very popular

[05:37] tropes in anime and the Arsenal would

[05:40] also transfer wealth to an animated

[05:42] format in addition the world ends with

[05:44] you features a complicated battle system

[05:47] that could prove entertaining to see on

[05:49] screen

[05:57] number four Dark Souls series

[06:07] it's time for anime to get good a

[06:10] notoriously difficult fantasy action RPG

[06:14] franchise the souls series pits players

[06:16] against a veritable legion of tough

[06:18] enemies and bosses packed to the brim

[06:20] with terrifying creatures and legendary

[06:23] heroes the souls games would make for a

[06:25] visually arresting anime in addition the

[06:28] franchise has a huge amount of highly

[06:31] detailed law from which to draw material

[06:33] from and if they wanted to vary up the

[06:35] setting in law while still keeping the

[06:37] same essential style make it always a

[06:40] damp blood-borne - number three The

[06:48] Legend of Zelda series a long-running

[06:58] fantasy adventure series The Legend of

[07:00] Zelda series follows a succession of

[07:02] characters named link usually out to

[07:04] save the eponymous princess from the

[07:07] evil Ganon featuring plenty of dungeons

[07:09] monsters iconic characters and action

[07:12] along the way with how many iterations

[07:14] of the story the franchise is told the

[07:17] animators would have a lot of options if

[07:19] they wanted a more realistic look they

[07:22] could go with Ocarina of Time a lighter

[07:24] one with the Wind Waker or somewhere in

[07:26] the middle with breath of the wild to be

[07:30] honest I have no real reason to think

[07:34] there's always the chance that the next

[07:37] moment will change everything whatever

[07:40] they decide to do it could not possibly

[07:42] be worse than the American cartoon

[07:48] number two Xenoblade Chronicles series

[07:51] stay back

[07:52] I'll take it from here no you can't take

[07:55] any more

[07:57] this action RPG franchise may be

[08:00] relatively young but we're still eager

[08:03] to see it animated the games in the

[08:05] series feature gorgeous and creative

[08:06] settings as well as strong core casts of

[08:09] characters that are the ideal types for

[08:11] anime heroes

[08:13] Xenoblade Chronicles also features

[08:15] plenty of creative powers in battle

[08:17] which could make for fantastic fight

[08:19] scenes all-in-all Xenoblade Chronicles

[08:21] is one series that we're really feeling

[08:24] needs an anime particularly if they can

[08:27] retain its fascinating law compelling

[08:29] characters an amazing soundtrack as soon

[08:33] as this year's

[08:35] right behind you

[08:37] and then we will seize our destiny

[08:42] number one Chrono Trigger

[08:46] [Music]

[08:52] one of the most beloved RPGs of all time

[08:55] Chrono Trigger follows an eclectic group

[08:57] of adventurers as they travel they're

[08:59] willed as well as through time on a

[09:01] journey to stop the apocalypse the game

[09:04] has a masterfully told story iconic

[09:07] characters beautiful locales and time

[09:09] periods a great battle system and powers

[09:12] beautiful music and so much more that

[09:15] make it a treat to experience every time

[09:17] through but perhaps most importantly the

[09:20] art style was done by Akira Toriyama the

[09:23] creator of Dragon Ball if that doesn't

[09:26] scream the need for an anime adaptation

[09:27] to you what else does those cutscenes

[09:31] from the PlayStation port are
