User:Robkelk/sandbox/TV series based on works from other media

A list of television shows (both live-action and animated) based on works from other media.

Inspired by (and first list compiled from) the thread at http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?t=142809

Don't publish this list as-is to the Main pagespace! (This is a temporary reference document.) Instead, create categories and tag the appropriate pages.


 * How many categories (one or many)? Many
 * What name/names does/do the category/categories get? The current section header names look good

See also Animated Adaptation and The Anime of the Game.


 * Include TV animation: Y/N?
 * Include TV anime: Y/N?

Comment from User:vorticity on the DW forum: "Just include everything in Category:Anime, and go back and exclude those from Anime First."
