What video game do you think has the best anime adaptation?

[@kengox77]

Three come to mind: Sengoku Basara (first two seasons and movie), Tales of the Abyss, and Tales of Zestria X.

[@shelbybayer200]

HyperDimension Neptunia the Animation is a pretty good anime adaptation without sticking to just the games Storyline It creates a unique take on the story that Adapts the Character plots but creates an entirely different way the story is played out

[@marioeduardo1455]

😮 Dai-chan you forgot to talk about Yumi Ozawa, Labrys and Rei-chan 😮

[@ezrafaulk3076]

I'm not really aware of a lot of videogame anime adaptations, but something I noticed about the persona games from watching videos like this one is that they all essentially seem to be therapy in videogame form. Now, with that outta the way, I think I *finally* have an anime I can recommend for the Waifu Files *besides* all the ones I've already recommended; *Soul Eater* , the work the Mangaka behind Fire Force made *before* he made Fire Force. I found it weird even compared to other anime because of how its artstyle, world aesthetic, & humor style incorporate a lot of elements of *classic western* cartoons, but it's still a good anime *regardless* ; & it's got a *lot* of waifu in it. PS: If I had to guess, I'd say that the old teacher lady & the morbidly obese girl are supposed to basically be a depiction of your average American feminist; the description you gave of them definitely sounds like that.

[@otakudaikun]

​@@marioeduardo1455 Labrys is in my P3 waifu files. I wasn't including the PQ games, but I have no idea how Ozawa slipped by. She wasn't important enough to get an arc in the anime, and I forgot she existed.

[@justinn8541]

When Scooby Doo meets Diamond Is Unbreakable.

[@elimDBZ]

I have never felt so offended by something I 100% agree with.

[@MrDarksol]

You know what I agree with that comparison because it is true.

[@nodwolf]

HOW F&%KING dare you say something so terrible, true, and hilarious?!? How DARE you say something I now have to tell everyone else! 😂

[@justinn8541]

"May she be blessed with head pats and delicious meats." In what way?

[@josephlankford5541]

Persona 4 Golden was my gateway into this franchise. And I love it. Picking a first main love interest was painful because they're all so good.

[@noahdragoon1855]

Nice to see another rise fan

[@shelbybayer200]

Fun fact: English dub Chie is voiced by the original voice for Noire from HyperDimension Neptunia. Erin Fitzgerald

[@samuraibear5102]

She has a different va

[@LordRyan9999]

Atleast golden dub chie is noire sadly they swapped her va and I belive Ted's from ps2 vs ps vita

[@richardthefox3412]

32:18 Literally my first thought was “This was inspired by Yukiko Okada death”, and even their names are similar.

[@LunaP1]

Have you noticed that this first idol did P5 before P5 with her gathering shadows or is it just me?

[@jkosch]

Last time I was so early being drawn into a TV program was not so literal. Last time i was so early Teddies were more cuddly.

[@ApolloDragon]

I went with the Rise Kujikawa romance route in persona 4. I really enjoyed her idol background being a fan of the arts and music. Plus, showing that being an idol isn't always fun and game, so that is refreshing, take then most anime. I also like Naoto Shirogane being a detective showing intelligence and Sherlock Holmes like reasoning skills she was a great part of the team. Persona 4 is one of my favorite games, and I love persona 4 golden. Can't wait for the persona 5 waifu files.

[@stevepitt-ash4628]

Ah persona 4 such a fun game lol great work on this file dai! Keep it up

[@demi-fiendoftime3825]

Yukiko is my favorite also Persona 2 dulology feel deserves a remake more than 4 first as it in my opinion has the best plot in the series along with the best girl in the franchise Maya

[@THEBULLETPROOFKINGDOM]

Highschool Of The Dead WAIFUS when?

[@otakudaikun]

Definitely in October or earlier.

[@Yami-no-Raiden]

Aw man, no love for Yumi or Labrys this time?

[@otakudaikun]

I forgot Yumi existed. Labrys is in my Persona 3 files.

[@shelbybayer200]

Chie and Yukiko rank 1 and 2 on the Persona Waifu for me Chie is actually attractive

[@MrDarksol]

Okay this is gonna be even easier than the persona 3 1 mainly because it's just gonna be easy since I'm just gonna focus on the main playable girls. Chie is a prime example of a modren tomboy that is a soild one. The want to protect her best friend adamantly is something to be admired plus her strong sense of wanting to protect people. Not to mention she's a sweetheart. Yukiko's goofball nature made me realize that I do like the concept of having a girl make me laugh which is really silly in the context of what some people would see it a woman but I find that to be a pretty interesting sort of take on it kind of like why Wanda married Cosmo from the fairly odd parents. Not to mention she isn't a bad looking girl either and is a safe but good pick. Rise..... Okay I'm not gonna sugar coat it, her entire arc about her being an idol is the best arc of being an idol I've ever seen way better than a certain other character who shares the same Japanese voice actress as her who also becomes an idol however due to stupid writing circumstances it just got worse with that character and made her completely ruined as a result. Rise meanwhile embraces that side of her and loves that on top of her being a sweet flirt....... If only she used those powers for other people instead of just the main character every 30 seconds lol. Finally Naoto is a character I never cared for, but I do love her arc, you can't say no to a cute detective babe who secretly has a big bust and the whole Rise finding out that Naoto is bigger then her in the chest department moment REALLY made young me go well damn. Also the lack of seeing her in a swimsuit is still upsetting but I have mellowed out over the years and find Naoto good, that and I KNOW I have a friend who has she as his best girl lol. Overall while the main girls are soild, I don't really care much for the side girls for this one. Great job with another wiafu files video Dai!

[@anxhelovucinaj1576]

If I may ask,who is the other idol character whose writing got worse that you were referring to?

[@MrDarksol]

@@anxhelovucinaj1576 Haruka from the Yakuza games.

[@anxhelovucinaj1576]

@@MrDarksol oh okay

[@chrisdiokno5600]

God, so many good girls

[@shelbybayer200]

I love Marie too Her VA also voiced a great Character The Character Ellie Troit from Conception 2

[@zqrahll]

You left out Yumi, the much better Sun s-link.

[@otakudaikun]

I'll have to give her a shout out when I do P5.

[@FishBoneD14]

My favorite

[@shelbybayer200]

28:08 She makes a Cameo in Persona 3 originally And is in the P3 movie At Yakushima

[@bornanime3255]

Chie and Rise number 1 no matter what

[@panczo5875]

I don't understand why Yumi (other Sun Arcana girl) is not included, yes I didn't like her too much but skipping her and putting Aiya waitress which appears in anime only feels kinda wrong.

[@otakudaikun]

I agree. She slipped past my radar. I forgot she existed, and she didn't show up in my research. She lacks an arc in the anime as well, and I thought the anime was a faithful adaptation, too.

[@Angras_advocate18]

I need to start persona but I’m behind on so much anime😭😭

[@LunaP1]

You forgot that one time when Naoto was entered into a beauty contest and won, even though she never appeared on stage.😂

[@otakudaikun]

No I didn't. Watch the full video and it's mentioned.

[@LunaP1]

@@otakudaikunmy bad. I had to stop the vid early.

[@Hakelous]

my top girls are naoto and chie

[@luisroman8216]

What about Waifu Files on Symphogear? Symphogear have a great waifu.

[@otakudaikun]

Sure does!

[@dimitryryutta]

I prety much lost count of how many times i beaten Persona 4 Golden,it was one of my very first PSVita games, and it quickly became one of my all time favorites,as for my waifus i always romance Yukiko,i just really fell for the good girl next door sorta personality she has, Rise is also a favorite of mine she was just a such a joyfull fun cutie during the whole game,i also like the dilogues when Yu flirts with her.

[@margock3213]

i found mari a better inclusion as kasumi in persona 5 mari felt more intervinded in the story than kasumi/sumire
