In 2024, several works based on games were broadcast, including “Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin,” “ATRI -My Dear Moments-,” and “Hamidashi Creative.”

The worldview of many games, such as role-playing, action, adventure, and simulation, has been expressed in anime. Many people probably have their favorite games they want to see animated. So, Anime! Anime! Conducted a reader survey titled “Which game would you like to see animated? (Second Half of 2024)” following the first half of 2024.

The survey was divided into two categories: app games and consumer games (home games) and was targeted at works that have not yet been animated or have not been decided to be animated. From November 26th to December 1st, 141 people responded during the survey period. The gender ratio was about 15 percent male, about 60 percent female, and about 25 percent no response, with more women.

The age group was mainly young people, with about 35 percent of the votes being under 19 and in their 20s. In this article, we will announce the results of the consumer games (home video games) category. Introducing popular titles to hidden masterpieces! This time, we will introduce comments on the titles that received votes.

The protagonist of “Undertale” is a human child trapped underground in the monsters’ home. It is an indie game released in 2015, and its unique system allows you to progress without defeating monsters. Its story, with multiple endings, gained popularity worldwide and was later ported to consumer versions. Readers have commented, “The BGM is all great, and the monsters you fight as enemies are all characters that you can’t hate. They’re not inherently bad, and each one has their sense of justice, which is good,” and “The ending changes depending on the player, and there are three different routes. Therefore, it may be difficult to visualize, but I would be happy to see an ending unique to anime.”

The latest work to be released in 2024 is the fantasy RPG “Metaphor: Refantasio.” “This is the latest work from Atlus, famous for “Persona” and “Shin Megami Tensei”! The voice actors are diverse, from those who have appeared in previous works to those who are participating for the first time.

The “Persona” series has been animated from the third to the fifth installment, and we hope you will also enjoy the 35th-anniversary work of the Atlus brand!” said a fan of the studio, giving his top recommendation. There were also votes for series that have already been animated. “Super Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair Academy” is the second work in the “Danganronpa Series.”

“The series has an anime, but “Super Danganronpa 2” is still a game-only title. I want to hear the main character Hinata Hajime’s catchphrase, “I’ll cut down those words!” in the anime,” he said, enjoying the thrilling exchanges unique to mystery games. Here are some other comments! For “Super Control Mecha MG,” “There are many transforming dolls (mecha) made by craftsmen that are full of romance. I want to see a variety of scenarios expressed in the anime, such as battles with thugs and races and crazy missions.”

“Dead by Daylight ” is a popular horror game in Japan and overseas. I’m curious to see how the horrifying worldview in which a terrifying killer tries to kill the survivors will be portrayed in the anime.” For “Phantasy Star ZERO,” “The anime movies that play at key points, including the opening, are interesting and make me want to see more.

The characters supervised by Toshiyuki Kubooka are also cute, so even people who don’t know the original work will enjoy it. For “Giga Bash,” “It’s a foreign game. Still, it respects Japanese anime and special effects, and it’s a dream-like work with guest appearances by Godzilla and Ultraman,” there were also votes for titles that feature familiar characters. All titles that received votes in this survey are listed below. In addition to popular and talked-about titles, there were votes for classics and titles that only a few people knew about.
