From Jump Force to One Piece: World Seeker, anime games have let even the most ardent of fans down, time and time again. For every half-decent adaptation out there, such as the recent Dragon Ball FighterZ, there are about a billion half-assed tie-ins that fail to capture the essence of their source material. Unfortunately, anime has hardly had the same success within the world of video games. With its outlandish premises, superpowered protagonists, and serialized episodes built around narrative arcs, anime has captivated a generation of millenials hungry for stories of young’uns that “dream big” and “shoot for the stars.” Whereas traditional live-action television is firmly rooted in realism, and American cartoons largely relegated to non-committal filler for Saturday time-blocks, Japanese animation offers something radically different. Anime has slowly but surely taken the Western world by storm, and with good reason.
