Consistency[edit]

Can we decide on a consistent format for this list? Some of the issues I see:

  • Some series (e.g. Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon) have multiple releases on the same console, but only the console name is listed
  • A few entries have "Japan only", even though that's true for the majority of the list
  • Most titles are listed by the series name, others by the game name

Furthermore, what should we do with titles developed for simultaneous release, such as D Cide Traumerei?Londonbeat41692 (talk) 03:37, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal to Split Article - title and description are inconsistent -[edit]

The current description says -

"anime-based games, this is a list of computer and video games that are based on anime or manga, or from which anime or manga have been made. " This does not contain dojinshi or hentai games.

First of all games that spawned anime are NOT "games based on anime or manga" which is the title of this article. This is inconsistent and confusing. For example, the .hack games were not based on anime or manga, they had related properties and spawned adaptations. These type of games either need removed or the title of the page needs changed (List of video games with a related anime/manga or something)

Secondly, the games Amusement Park, Animamundi, and Day of Love, to name a few, do not have anime or manga versions, they are simply games with anime style artwork. I will probably remove them from the list unless someone shows me evidence otherwise.

Thirdly, "This does not contain dojinshi or 'hentai games'." Well yeah it does currently... Pia Carrot, Tea Society of a Witch (which also has no anime), D.C. ～Da Capo～ etc. Why are H-games not allowed on this list anyhow? Wikipedia is not censored.

I like the idea of changing the article name. It would make the article less restricted. That, or make another article (which would likely be merged with this one eventually anyhow I think) Jon Fawkes 04:04, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Well if we do split them, I feel we can develop both enough to be useful. Here's some possibilities -

New title - List of video games with a related anime or manga

Split -

  • List of video games based on anime or manga
  • List of anime and manga with video game adaptations

Also in regards to the games that have no anime counterpart - while they are often called "anime-games" this is a misnomer. The page "anime game" should probably be made in to a disambiguation explaining that the term is used for anime-based games, games that became anime, and games in the "anime style" such as dating sim and visual novel games). Something like - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jyuichi/Anime_Game Like it? Hate it? Think its missing something? Feel free to add on to it :) Jyuichi 06:32, 11 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have added a template proposing the split I suggest above. Again please look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jyuichi/Anime_Game , my idea for a disambiguation page connecting the spilt articles and clarifying most of the problems with this page. Jyuichi 02:15, 13 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would have to disagree with your choice of split titles. Both "List of video games based on anime or manga" and "List of anime and manga with video game adaptations" imply gramatically that the anime or manga existed first, and the video game was based on the existing source material. In other words, those two lists would be identical.
We currently have a page called List of video games based on anime or manga (implying the video game was based off of existing anime / manga) and a page called List of anime based on video games (implying the anime was based off of an existing video game). There is not a page for List of manga based on video games, but the other bases seem to be covered *if* the page editors will stick to the topic indicated by the page titles.

  • It appears that the concerns have been addressed, so I have removed the tags. SilkTork *YES! 17:24, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge[edit]

I think this list should be merged with List of video games based on cartoons. There is no inherent difference besides the region of origin, and I think that the current title is confusing some Western people into adding games that look like what they think "anime" is that are actually unrelated. Merging may reduce this confusion. Separating only one country of origin from all the others is also a bit odd (seeing as there are no separate pages for things from other countries).
