It’s difficult to be even more on the nose when it comes to titles. However, this show is farfrom an extensive look at the gaming industry or e-sports. It’s a romantic comedy that uses gaming as the central plot device. Our protagonist is the stereotypical gamer who just likes to stay at home and spend every waking moment on his computer. This all ...
Light novel adaptations really love asking question in the title. But at least it gets to the point. The setup for this show is a tale as old as time: a gamer falling in love with his online waifu, only to later learn that he was talking to a middle-aged man. Because of this, he grows skeptical of everyone online and just assumes everyone is a man....
I want to keep the isekai shows to a minimum, but regardless of what you might think of this franchise, there‘s no denying it has some seriousrepresentation. Starting off with the typical MMORPG world, it then branches out to a more fairy tale setting and then even gives some love to FPS fans. And if you’re a fan of the game genre in question, SAO ...
This show definitely had quite the unique first episode, as we see a delinquent get bullied by four girls into joining their club. What club, you might ask? The Game Development club. And although they won’t teach you a lick of Python or C++, games are a central plot device in the show. The characters just hang around, play some games to pass the t...
N.H.K. tackles a lot of things, from hikikomoris and low self-worth, to extreme paranoia and how people can peer pressure you into suicide (I’m not joking, the show gets dark sometimes ). But another central premise is that of creating a game. And the show actually goes into detail on the creative process and the financial struggles of game develop...
I appreciate Bofuri because it put its characters into a video game and still managed to stray away from making it an isekai. That’s right: no one is trapped, it’s just a VRMMO. That in itself was refreshing. But the fact that the show remembers it’s only a game, and even has a tank main as the central protagonist, was quite the treat. It does give...
If you really love games and what goes on behind the scenes, then this anime is bound to be to your liking. It tackles the entire processof game creation, from conception to art design, coding, and then realization. The show is beyond adorable, and all the characters quickly grow on you over time, as you can clearly see how passionate they are abou...
In High Score Girl we have a central male protagonist who’s just the ultimate pro gamer. Since the show is set in the 90s, arcades are all the rage, and our MC is just setting record after record. Never truly being challenged. That is, until the female lead comes in and hands him an L with minimum difficulty. Not only is she an attractive girl, but...
Overlord is a pure isekai. However, it does stick to the game format more so than most. Although the protagonist Ainz is overpowered, he still has to use his game knowledge to secure important victories. For example, knowing when to use which item, what spell is strong against which opponents, what matchups he’s terrible in, and so on. And at the e...
In the world of Summer Wars, VR has completelytaken over. And everyone choses to spend their time in the virtual world called OZ.

- Steins;Gate - 9.11. The Steins;Gate series has arguably found a lot more success through anime than it ever did through gaming, although given the style of the games, it's perhaps unsurprising that it was able to make the transition so seamlessly.
- Fate/Stay Night - 8.21. The Fate series has expanded into many different mediums over the years, but the bulk of its success has come through its numerous anime series, specials and movies.
- Final Fantasy 7.99. Many consider the Final Fantasy series to be one of the very best franchises in gaming. With 15 main series games and countless spin-offs, it should come as no surprise that there have been many attempts at adapting the series into anime form.
- Pokemon - 7.65. Pokemon took Japan by storm when it first released back in 1996, and it did not take long for its influence to spread across the globe.
