In the same vein as [[The Film of the Book]]: when a popular game is adapted into an anime. Extremely common in the case of [[Visual Novel
May involve [[Bleached Underpants]] depending on the [[Eroge|source]]. RPGs in particular tend to have sprawling plotlines narrowed or cut entirely.
If you're looking for the reverse of this

Line 16:
* ''[[AIR]]''
* ''[[Amagami]]''
* ''[[Angelique]]'' has 4 [[OVA
* ''[[Animal Crossing]]''
* ''[[Ape Escape]]'' got one in the form of Saru Getchu -On Air-
Line 100:
* ''[[Ragnarok the Animation]]''
* ''[[Rance]]''
* ''[[Sakura Taisen]]'' known as ''Sakura Wars'' in the west, had various [[OVA
* ''[[Salamander]]'' which were [[OAV
* ''[[Samurai Shodown]]'' had the Motion Picture (actually a made-for-TV special), [[In Name Only|which completely deviated from the game's plot and characterizations]], and in the case of Amakusa, [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|gender]].
** There are also two other [[OAV
* ''[[Sands of Destruction (video game)|Sands of Destruction]]''
* ''[[School Days]]''
Line 144:
* ''[[Triangle Heart 3 ～sweet songs forever～]]''
** And while we're at it, ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha]]'', adapted from a [[Spin-Off]] of the above [[Adaptation Displacement|that most fans don't even know exists]].
* ''[[Tsukihime]]'' [[media:
** Don't deny it! If [[Disgaea]] and ''[[Viewtiful Joe]]'' are enough to be listed here then surely [[Tsukihime]] anime would make the list.
* ''[[Twinbee]] Paradise'' is kind of a weird case, as it may have been based off of the Radio Dramas that were based on the video games.
Line 168:
** Specifically, the Idolo OVA takes place before the first game, and the actual Dolores, i series takes place between the original and Second Runner.
* ''[[Ape Escape]]'' now has a Nicktoons flash-animated cartoon.
Line 185:
* An ''[[Eternal Champions]]'' series was planned, but the franchise as a whole was stopped dead in its tracks early on in its life to pump Sega of Japan's ''[[Virtua Fighter]]'' (also, the games were gorier than ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' and yet slipped past the watchdogs...)
** The first ''Eternal Champions'' title is fairly light on gore. The Sega CD installment however, is indeed gorier than ''Mortal Kombat'' by virtue of anatomical correctness (like if someone explodes, you don't get fourteen legs and five ribcages; you get shredded flesh, bone and organs).
* ''[[Heavy Gear]]'': The CGI series suffered from [[Adaptation Decay]] to the point where the tabletop RPG [[
* [[Title Theme Tune|Super fighting robot]]... ''[[Mega Man (animation)|Mega Man]]''!
** This one is an interesting example, as it was a joint effort between Ruby-Spears and a Japanese animation studio, and has a somewhat [[Animesque]] artstyle.
Line 208:
* ''[[Wing Commander Academy]]'', done by the same guys that made ''[[Exo Squad]]''.
* ''[[Kindred: The Embraced]]'' (Based on ''[[Vampire: The Masquerade]]'')
* ''[[Maniac Mansion]]''
Line 216:
* ''Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego'' (which spawned an updated game, ''Carmen Sandiego's Great Chase Through Time'', based on it)
* The popular ''[[Arfenhouse]]'' Flash movies were loosely based on a series of freeware spoof RPGs using the OHRRPGCE engine.
