10 Greatest Anime Without a Video Game Adaptation

When there's anime, there are video games — from Dragon Ball FighterZ to Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm — yet many series never made the jump to consoles. With thousands of anime produced, plenty of stories could yield inventive games. Below are ten notable anime that, despite clear potential, have no video game adaptations.

Violet Evergarden follows a former child soldier who becomes an Auto Memory Doll, writing letters as she learns what “I love you” means, a premise suited to a narrative-driven game about moral choice after war. A Place Further Than the Universe tracks four girls on an Antarctic journey, a setup that suggests resource management and survival gameplay amid harsh conditions.

The Tatami Galaxy uses time-jumping to explore regret and missed romance, easily translating into a game of restarting life paths and searching Kyoto for different outcomes.
