Anime Anime Global

In 2019, there were various games that had anime adaptions such as “Fate/Grand Order – Absolute Demon Battlefront: Babylonia”, “Stand My Heroes PIECE OF TRUTH”, and others. Due to various gorgeous characters from the original game making appearances in the shows, the animes even attracted viewers that didn't play the original games.

In Anime! Anime!, we conducted a survey asking readers: “Which games do you wish to have an anime? (Second half of 2019 version)” following the survey conducted in the first half of 2019. We have received a total of 76 responses during the survey period of Nov. 29 until Dec. 10.
The male to female ratio was male 40% and female 60%, making females the majority. In terms of age distribution, the majority were youngsters below the age of 19 comprising of 30%, and 40% were people in their 20's. First, let's present the result for the application game category.

■The top is “DREAM!ing” which shows its popularity despite already having an anime adaption.

We had received comments from the readers such as “The characters that appear in the game are full of uniqueness.

We received comments such as “It is an interesting game if you like animal girls.”, “I want an anime adaption of the adventures of the young boy and the animal ear girls.” and it would be nice if we could hear the alluring voice of the heroines in the anime.

“Bungo to Alchemist” is a browser game by DMM.com. Just as what this comment was saying “I want to make the Bungo boom much bigger”, well known literary masters have appeared in various works. It would be interesting if we could watch other authors appear with other titles.

For this, we have received comments such as “I want to see the brave appearance of the Megido in the anime.”, “I wish that the story can be recreated”, and the game's unique setting explains its popularity.
