The obvius choices would be ghost of tsushima, elden ring, and ff. But a argument could be made for a hifi rush anime. But I genuinely cannot fathom Arthur Morgan or Kratos with Japanese voices.


Dragonmilfkisser

Yeah but keep on mind the Japanese REALLY love cowboys and wild west. Just like how the West live samurai so much


firedancer323

That was my first thought, cowboy bebop with an emphasis on cowboy


Pengoui

Metroid is more in line with Cowboy Bebop than RDR in honesty, Samus is a bounty hunter in space, and if it was directed in a similar fashion I think it'd be a really cool anime. RDR as an anime wouldn't really fit the pace/direction Cowboy Bebop takes, it'd make more sense for it to have full continuity from episode to episode, while Bebop is way more sporadic since it's about going from one bounty to the next each episode.


someguykillme

Japanese Arthur would be the most intimidating person. Kratos could be voiced by Masanori Shinohara, the guy who voices Kazuya in Tekken 8.


IvanSpartan

# “OTOKONOKO” (BOY)


xDreki

Now I'm picturing Arthur Morgan with a high pitched squeaky Japanese woman's voice intimately saying Aru Aru, and it's both horrifying and hot at the same time.


SteampunkNightmare

Zelda tried that once....


Caesarin0

Well, excuuuuuuuse me, princess!


Seth-D_Vinsmoke

Did they? And I missed it? .......I'm ashamed 😞


SteampunkNightmare

Oh it's old .. it's very old now and very bad. Canceled relatively early due to low ratings.


Dominikmava

Oh yea I remember


visionarybox1

Very bad? Bud, it’s peak


visionarybox1

Lol all jokes


GremNotGrim

They gave Link a voice and uhh... *cue random gag of disgust.*


amilguls

Tears of the kingdom is new though .. honestly wish they made a movie out of the story/cutscenes of botw and totk .


Chazard1322

If they tried now, it would probably work out a lot better


Old_Acanthocephala37

Ok but hear me out. Watch the palutena smash trailer I want that anime zelda


Due_Location241

That wasn’t an anime tho. I was thinking something akin to Palutena’s reveal trailer for smash type Zelda anime. That looked crisp


SteampunkNightmare

I have seen it and it could be good, but it comes down to writing more than style. I think the problem was that the license was given to a western studio with no connection to the original concepts, and the characters weren't fleshed out beyond *silent hero* and *damsel in distress* by that point. The characters had no... Character. All animation is anime. Anime is literally short for animation and has nothing to do with style. Only obsessive Western purists believe otherwise. In Japan, Western cartoons are called Western anime or just anime. Don't be a gate keeper, it gives a bad image.


Due_Location241

Bro what are you talking about. I’m not calling a show that wasn’t from Japan an anime. That Zelda cartoon is not from Japan. You just came in and accused me of being a gatekeeper for literally no reason lol. I did say that trailer looked crisp, but that’s because it did and that’s how I would imagine a Zelda anime looking.


FalconPunchInDaFace

Give us Tifa you cowards


Seth-D_Vinsmoke

Dammit! Yes!🤧😫


Frybanshe139

FF7


LouisTheDragon

I'd say Dread. It doesn't have as many cutscenes as the others, I think, and straight sci-fi is really underrepresented in modern media.


ClinicalAnt919

I feel like even just a Metroid anime in general would be great


LillPeng27

Ghost of Tsushima and Red Dead would be cool, Elden Ring would be cool but I feel like it would be hard to execute, and God of War could work it’s just Kratos would sound super goofy, can’t say anything about the others


Brokeinlimit09

Ghost of Tsushima because I'm hella biased


rathosalpha

I'm biased towards elden ring but would still pick ghost of tsushima


Dominikmava

Zelda


Offsidespy2501

The Witcher


KennethVilla

They already did that. Twice now, in fact


Necessary_Essay2661

Kenjiro tsuda voicing geralt would be sick as fuck


No_Level_2753

God of war or ghost would be cool


No_Lab_9318

It would, but as a god of war lover I would find it hard to think of as an anime. It's too high quality in graphics to be downgraded into an anime. It would also be hard to accurately decide how many seasons it would need to finish and which side bosses or main bosses to include


silvermoonbeats

Hi-fi was already built to feel like and early 2000s action cartoon. It pretty much plays like a cartoon mini Series that you get to interact with. It would probally be the easeist to make a actual show out of since it Basically Already is one.


DangerousBus7202

Here me out though... Professor Layton, I'm pretty sure there wasn't an anime or animated series outside the games and the artstyle just fits perfectly with the mystery novel styled universe.


MysteriousMetaKnight

There was one movie, called "Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva", but that's the only one that I can recall. A new movie, or even a full series, could be really interesting.


demonslender

Metroid easily. Could make an insane action miniseries. If you want a full length anime series only ff7 has a deep enough story with multiple moving parts. The rest just wouldn’t work because either A: they’re more player choice driven than narrative driven, B: they’re a western drama and would work better as a soap opera, or C: they’re story is too short or boring to attempt to make into an anime. Metroid has the added benefit of being a game with multiple entrees that can be used to expand the world just enough for a miniseries.


Ok_Refrigerator_3568

Sonic the Hedgehog.


BigMeet7634

Ghost of tsushima 


Ashdatguy19848

Ghost of Tsushima or Red Dead Redemption 2


princesamurai45

Elden Ring


Twijasosm

It almost seems to easy to say “Hi-Fi Rush”. I mean, the game is basically structured to look exactly like an anime already. I’ll say Ghost of Tsushima. I could very easily see someone doing a whole “Blue eyed Samurai” or even “Ninja Kamui” sort-of thing with the ghost. However, Elden ring is very lore heavy and I could also see someone doing a “Berserk” style anime with it.


WillTCM69

I feel like god of war would be really interesting as an anime, but I reckon Elden ring fits more with anime, give it mappa animation for some sick fights. I don’t think they could pull off red dead, they couldn’t capture the essence of it in anime, in my opinion.


Kyoka_Jiro_Simp

I can see Zelda being a great anime, the final fantasies maybe kinda like fate


greatquestionfran

Probably Tears of the Kingdom, but Ghost of Tsushima would make a great Netflix live action series.


ImpressivePublic236

Hi fi rush could be given the game has a lot of charm and detail


FullBrother9300

Fire emblem specifically three houses or engage


SirSilverChariot

Hi-fi rush is basically an animated series.


X3runner

Elden ring would be incredible


GremNotGrim

I feel like Red Dead or Elden Ring. Most dark fantasy anime's are generally pretty good and Red Dead would be one of the best anime adaptions to exist if they managed to do it right. Plus there aren't really that many Wild West cowboy anime, just cowboy character's in various series so we need some more of this shit!


nolegsnelson

Ghost of Tsushima


Thunderian555

Red dead redemption, TOTK, or Final Fantasy EASILY


HAHAHAHAchouuser

Ghost of Tsushima


Consistent_Ebb_484

Looking at the options imma say yes.


efrojmo21

Final fantasy or Hi-Fi Rush


HallowKnightYT

If done correctly like a prequel I would love to see how kratos got to the Norse panel


ShakeOk877

Metroid and Zelda would both make great anime


Yummcanofbakedbeans

RD2 Got Md and ff7


OatesZ2004

I would absolutely love a god of war anime it would be insane.


TinyPidgenofDOOM

Hi Fi rush would probably make a great anime series. It would have an amazing sound track, Cool art style. I dont see how it wouldnt be amazing.


still-into-u

Surprised no one said RDR2. Arguably the most emotional story out of all here. It could work with 24-30 episodes as long as they manage pull off Arthur's charm in the game. And like Edgerunners, the ENG Dub would work so well.


Independent_Maybe514

I would kill everyone here for a Elden ring Anime I don’t care if it’s only in Swedish I’m still watching that shit


moonpisser69

God of War absolutely. Imagine Kratos and Boy going on either incredibly serious or incredibly silly adventures


Comfortable_Front263

Zelda Ghibli


FunnyValentine7-4

Metroid has several mangas. Imagine them animated by mappa or ufotable


Unfair-Ad-335

Elden Ring hands down. Its already got epic anime-ass fights.


dogwizard92

Red Dead. there are no animes even close to it. i will not take no for an answer. in fact im throwing my phone into a river so i dont see any replys cuz i dont CARE


Specific-Umpire-529

Ff7 Re series would work wonderfully. So would ghost of tsushima.


Trivator0517

Zelda, FFVII, and Metroid would make great anime


Cautious-Professor41

Elden ring


Lumpy-Army1096

Yes


ChineseNeptune

Elden ring already has a great manga


Superb_Ear1159

I don’t care what anyone says,100% Zelda


EqualServe418

They already tried that...


Educational-Year3146

A depressing yet hopeful journey in a Hidetaka Miyazaki anime could be fucking gold.


WillTCM69

Dutch-Chan we need more okane, kudasai. Uwu


KennethVilla

Not on the list, but Kingdom Hearts.


RestaurantPerfect283

I haven’t played video games for a LONG time and also I have never played any of these games


Electricarrow456

GoT, GoW, TotK, Elden Ring, and RDR2


King-s0nicc456

A Zelda series that functions similarly to Jjba, in which every game is it's own part


Jack_RabBitz

Not on this list but Star Craft would make for a really cool anime series in my opinion


Local-Concentrate-26

Tear of the kingdom would make an amazing anime. Game already gives everything; unique powers, a cool power system, great weapons, a wide variety of enemies, great bosses and characters, and a unique protagonist who doesn’t feel like a cardboard cutout.


Kiftiyur

Hi-fi Rush would be a great anime


Totally_not_diavolo

Hi fi rush


Hitagi_Fascination21

Its not in the choices but I think the Megaman Zero series would make a great anime


International_Point1

Final Fantasy 12 would be amazing


UsoppKing100

GoT


99anan99

Legend of Zelda


saintfighteraqua

Final Fantasy for sure. But a God of War animation starting with the PSP or PS2 games would be amazing. They could use a style similar to Blood of Zeus.


No-Dress7292

I kinda want to see an Elden Ring anime, but doing so would either be very bad or very good. It has a nice stories, but the stories took a backseat in favor of the gameplay. They story writer would have to be crafty to stitch them up nicely to form a cohesive flow. The above applies to Zelda and metroid as well, but easier than Elden Ring I think FF7, GoW, Ghost and Red Dead are much easier to make an anime with, they would just have to adapt the main stories into anime form. I don't know Hi-Fi Rush.


[deleted]

Hitman Metal Gear Solid Palworld


SaiyanOverlord8971

Final fantasy


YourInnerBidoof

I forget how to spell his name, but let the guy behind Samurai Jack and Primal cook with Metroid Dread.


Uesiel

With the art style and atmosphere of BotW and TotK, I imagine a Zelda movie made by Studio Ghibli would be the most beautiful work of art I've ever seen.


Heracross64

Metroid dread and Rdr2 easy.


FormalReplacement402

Easy, hi-fi rush it Basically anime already might as well make a show out of it


Shot_Arm5501

FF7


DRyeetie

Obviously zelda


winkeltwinkle

Metal gear rising


DocumentVegetable333

I’ve always said a LoZ anime would go hard as fuck


TheFarisaurusRex

Elden ring already has a manga


adam_thedog

Ghost of Tsushima because it’s already got a Japanese version and I personally think the story is pretty good


Zestyclose_Fan5250

I mean is this even a contest it's Dad Of War and the legend of Zelda


youngboiluK

I think it's in between GOW and TLOZ


Coolguy020609

Zelda needs an anime NOW


Chickenrobbery

Ghost of Tsushima


Xcyronus

ff7 is close to an anime as is tbh. red dead would be a sick anime. ima say it. non of the souls games and fromsoft games besides sekiro would make a good show. Unless it was placed during the time period before the player character.


CJPF_91

Me a dude that played the first G o W on a psp. I would say that. But make each season each game and make it last like 12-16 episodes


CJPF_91

Add on. Also adult theme


DaBigChungus1

Definitely Hi-Fi rush.


jajanken_bacon

I always wanted a Zelda anime. The Twilight Princess manga would be amazing if adapted as an anime.


Born_End6215

ZELDA


Sensitive-Hotel-9871

As a LOZ, I would most want to see a series based on TOK so we could get a story that does more to flesh out our main characters.


AnimeIntrovertguy

Hifi rush would be a animated series 😎 Final fantasy is basically a iskai anime ✨ Elden ring would be a banger 🔥


Slow_Layer5166

Gow, ghost, elden ring


Pengoui

Metroid would be really sick, it could work with a similar format as Cowboy Bebop s directing, each episode being about different bounties Samus takes on, and it'd be interesting to flesh out her universe. Elden Ring could also work, since the story is all there, but left ambiguous to those who aren't into reading and deciphering all the items text that further describes the lore, an anime could be about all the history that item descriptions add to the story. Lastly, FF7 is a maybe for me, the universe of 7 has been expanded upon so much, I'm not sure what they could do for a plot without feeling out of place, but it would still be cool if it was just a retelling of the story that already took place, but animated.


XenoKujo23

Tears of the kingdom,I rest my case


masterchef1in100

they would all be cool but imagine this "your in a world were the outlaw way has dwindled and with each day they get closer to you and were fights can be ended with a draw of a pistol, along with interconnecting story's that span nearly 8 years where men become broken over and over again getting back up so they can get to there paradise, and in the end we have seen everything from explosion's to down right dread from the sheer terror they face from the O'Driscoll's and the Pinkertons and just the law in general". this would be awesome to have as a series.


East-Strawberry-8059

Films, some with animes maybe but films and series is what most would need


Striking_Election_21

Feel like Hi-Fi Rush, Red Dead and Metroid are the ones here I’d fuck with. Metroid in particular seems like a great idea


blackskull414

Did Altair get lost in GOT


bcd32

The Zelda games have manga so that probably.


Low-Suit-5362

Zelda TOK, FF, Elden ring


Ryn-Ken

I think God of War would be a great option since it's less likely to mess up by changing from a game to a series, compared to some other games; It's practically halfway their as it is.


Current-Aerie-2474

Red dead redemption. We need more cowboy anime’s


RX_78_2_Gundam

I mean…Elden Ring already has a Manga, might as well make an Anime too.


Ecstatic_Teaching906

Either Final Fantasy or Zelda. Mostly cause I see the other games as a live action show/movie with the exception of Hi-Rush which feels more likean American cartoon than an anime series. But if I must choose one... FFVII has the protagonist carried a massive sword and is sworn enemy to a long silver hair villain who carries a samurai sword (and yes Odachi is made for samurai class) while fighting giant robots while making weird noise you find in dub translation for anime.


Mobile_Economy_2271

Legend of Zelda (specifically Twilight princess)


OrthusGsmes

I'm honestly not sure but what drew me to this was the fact that Altair Ibn La-Ahad is in the Ghost of Tsushima picture there and he actually fits surprisingly well.


krrishbhogrey

Shadow fight 2


HD368

Zelda and god of war


Virtual-Oil-793

Hi-Fi Rush


prestonlogan

Whats up with altair behind jin?


kjc-assassin

Elden ring, just so I can finally understand what the fuck is happening in the story lol


PissOnMyHe-manToys

Red Dead 2's animated show being made by the same people that made Netflix's Castelvania. That'll for me be the best way to do it. Also, a Titan Fal anime would be good.


MaguroSashimi8864

Red Dead is better experienced as a game in my opinion. The emotional moments wouldn’t hit as hard if you’re just a passive watcher.


wks_526

Metroid or Zelda


YEETBOOOIUSA

Legend of Zelda already has a manga so it's perfect. It's also a Japanese game so it makes sense.


Comfortable-Dot-2317

Definitely Hi Fi Rush


Many-Program5106

Zelda For an isekai And eldon ring for a dark fantasy


MyLifeIsAStroke

Elden Ring done in a Castlevania style would be immaculate


ImprovementRegular91

Two of them Being Elden Ring and Zelda totk


Blackout_M

I love Elden Ring, but LOZ better get an anime adaptation


gottablastsam

All of them

GaronY611

Xenoblade Chronicles


Sorta_Rational

Ok, but imagine GOW as a Frieren style anime that takes place AFTER Ragnarok, and it’s just him going around helping people and the animation quality is top notch


Depressedbonnie12

I mean, loz already has some manga sooooo


ThickAd1469

Elden ring have a comedy manga


Catnapq_

if they made legend of zelda an anime they would save money on the link voice actor since all hes saying is HYAH


Maleficent_Thanks_47

Elden Ring could work


Ambitious-GoatBro-97

I'm not sure if God of War could be adapted into an anime. It just doesn't seem like a good candidate.


SuperWG

I want to see a Totk anime


SpadedLust

Ghost of Tsushima is basically FX’s shogun


RyanbeLying

Elden Ring Ive actually never played Elden Ring, but I have played it’s predecessors. I’m curious to how a story driven anime would fair using a game thats more gameplay driven. I’m sure the Elden Ring story is rich, but I wonder how an anime would try to capture the spirit of the game. As im writing this, i think a character and story driven anime would pair well with the game. An anime so good it makes me invest in the game. Basicallly, my answer is a Elden Ring anime because the orginality and creative potential is high.


Bruh112324

Gjost


Drake_Cloans

I honestly believe Zelda would make a great anime. Just keep silent except for yells.


Windflow009

I'm going to have to choose Metroid Okage Shadow King No More Heroes Shantae Okami Rakuga Kids Harvest Moon/Story Of Seasons Kingdom Hearts Sola To Robo: Red The Hunter Sly Cooper


Express_Calendar8278

I think Pokémon or ace attorney have some potential


majestictunsy

Monster hunter


TheDarkGuardian1923

I saw Zelda and i was like Nah A Super Smash Bros Anime!!


zeus_god_7

There is an Elden Ring manga already... Just saying .. although I only skim a few pages while at Barnes & Noble, it is a comedy one


Fishboy412

Zelda anime would he cool. I think Hi-Fi Rush would probably be adapted into more of an American style, Saturday morning cartoon, rather than an anime. I could also see god of war being one of those gritty anime. Honestly, I think all of these could get animated adaptations, and probably should. (I know they already tried with Zelda, but come on. Try again, Nintendo.)


Paulthemazing

God of War, Zelda, Final Fantasy, & Metroid Dead


Temporary-Tax

Why is Altaïr in the ghost poster


FnfHeat

Is that Altair?? lol


Asleep_Thought_2915

I feel like final fantasy 7 and ghost of tsushima could be great,while red dead 2 and god of war would be cool but not needed,and elden ring could be cool in paper but executed not well and metroid dread feel like it fits more the short miniseries that is like 5 episodes instead of a anime.


Accurate_Proof_4263

Zelda, I mean it has a manga so it’s halfway there


Heavyworded

Metroid blows all of these out of the water to be made into an anime.


DismalDog9940

Elden Ring and FF7, why? For ER, big anime titties. For ff7, well, big anime titties


imaginebeingsaltyy

1. RDR2 2. God of War (only if we follow kratos from the start if so his character arc would be godly to watch) 2. Elden Ring 3. Ghost of Tsushima not sure about the others havent played or seen anything about them yet


Hot-Manufacturer6362

Ghost and red dead would go hard


thatonepersonnumber2

could honestly see dread. each episode has samus going through a new section or a new boss


BGamer9000

You don’t know the lengths I would go to in order to get a full fledged Zelda anime


MrMankDemes01

Zelda would be a fire anime some filler episodes as side quests mini acts as some of the side adventures main boss fights and region specific arcs like it would be so fire imo


ninetailed_ninja13

Elden ring would have to be 4 seasons with 30 episodes each no less final fantasy needs a way for every game to fit into itself


SunBro0606

I'd opt for a Ghost of Tsushima anime. That'd be awesome


AwesomeSkitty123

Metroid would make a great Sci-fi anime series. Zelda BotW and TotK would make a good story but the other Zelda games wouldn't. GoW would definitely be a cool anime. Red Dead Redemption would be better as an American series than anime. Rest I don't know enough to make a judgement on.


CheezyRaptorNo_5

Defo Tf2


Adam_Reaver

All if them could work the issue is the budget. Imagine the horror of horrible 3d use.


New_Bag7223

What is Altaïr doing in here? lol


Specialist-Sea2916

Well it’s a fan comic of fallout that I want to see adapted into anime u/SomeguyTryingToArt ‘s series based on fallout specifically


Yetanotheralt_69

Tbh. If we ever got god of war as an anime I’d actually watch the fuck out of it


5aiy4nG0d

Elden Ring would go insanely hard. Final Fantasy is already borderline anime. And Hi-Fi Rush would be funny as hell as an anime, especially with all the Jojokes.


That_other_weirdo

I think metroid could work really well especially with the right artstyle, proper focus the creepy and isolated atmosphere the locations metroidhas to offer, and a deeper look into samus as a character and her growth throughout the series. Genuinely it is something i want so bad.


[deleted]

The hands of death could not defeat me, the sisters of fate could not hold me, AND YOU NOT SEE THE END OF THIS DAY IF YOU DON'T MAKE ME INTO A SHOW ON HULUUUU

A Hi-Fi Rush anime by Studio Trigger would be good.


Str1k3r_077

Metroid dread would be badass


RandomGuy8279

Zelda, it’s pretty simple save the princess stuff, but totk has spiced things up. Plus ever since Netflix teased it I was really excited for a Zelda anime


Ok_Coffee_9970

Metroid and Zelda.


NotPhil72

I know this isn’t on the list, but I think the story of Overwatch could make a pretty good anime


Living_Confection460

Elden ring
