10 Gaming Franchises That Deserve The Anime Treatment
7. Okami
Booting up Okami is about as close as it gets to actually playing an anime, so it's almost shocking that it hasn't already found an animated adaptation yet. The game is by no means a household name, but that could work in its favour, as an anime based on this beautiful piece of art could capture viewers' imaginations all over the globe and bring some more mainstream attention to this beloved title.
This game lovingly explores facets of Japanese mythology and folktales, meaning that the anime style would be a perfect way to further expand on it. Plus, the game's art style is full of colour, energy, and creativity, meaning it would translate to the small screen like a soft breeze.
Okami captures everything you'd want in an anime, including emotional storytelling, deep lore, real-world connections, eye-catching visuals and heart-pounding action. It's the kind of thing that could be groundbreaking, so here's hoping it can happen someday.
