Lists of Eroge/Galge Anime conversions & of such wishlists

[PhineasLucis]

Recently, there has been a rising trend on anime that are based on eroge and galge.

kj1980 clarification:
eroge = games with ero content (please refrain from using the ancient term "H")
galge = games with no ero content

Happiness! and Kyo-Ani's Kanon are two of the most recent entries that fits into the above said criteria. In addition, there have been several direct-from-doujin success stories such as Tsukihime (doujin eroge) and Higurashi (doujin galge).

Hence, I was wondering if anyone can compile a comprehesive list of all the anime that were originally based on an eroge/galge. Informational remarks such as whether or not the series were licensed or not, fansubbed or not, and wiki-type links to the various threads on this board would be greatly appreciated.

Furthermore, it would also be of my personal interest if one can list some of their wishlists of their favorite eroge/galge to be adapted into anime.



Example:

Eroge/galge Conversion List

• Blue = fansubbed
• Red = licensed
• bold type = original was a galge (no ero-scenes)
• italic type = original was a doujin (amateur production)

Kanon
Air
Shuffle!
Lamune
Wind -a breath of heart-
Higurashi no Naku Koroni
Galaxy Angel

Tsukihime
Kimi ga Nozomu Eien
Utawarerumono



Personal list of eroge/galge I wish were made into anime (according to PhineasLucis)

Kana Imouto
Crescendo
Private Nurse
Gimai Hitomi
Majipuri
Heart De Roommate

[rooboy]

Green Green, Gakuen Heaven, Fate/Stay Night and Disagaea are all licensed.

You've also forgotten Final Approach.

Also there was a non-ecchi dating-sim type game released for the Ai Yori Aoshi* anime/manga.

EDIT: Also if you're including doujin games, the list is going to get out of hand fast - I've seen School Rumble and Please Twins ones, and I've never even looked. I would imagine that any reasonably succesful harem setup is probably going to end up with at least one doujin game.

If you are including doujins, then just include every single anime ever. There is a ero-doujin of almost everything. One of the primary rules of Japanese otaku: If it exists, there is a pornographic form of it.

Also, Higurashi is not an eroge, its a doujin game. There is a huge difference.

I think by "eroge" he really means "visual novel". Higurashi isn't even really a game in any conventional sense (at least, unless it changes farther on than I am) - you simply read the text on screen (laboriously, in my case) and then go to the next screen. There's no choices or anything like that involved.

Also, I missed the part about the wishlist - we had a thread like this before and I said then that I wanted a non-ero type game for Magikano. The gameplay gimmick would be such that whenever you started to go down a girl's path, the other girls would conspire to pull her down. The strategy would be to start working on every girl EXCEPT the one you want to be with, leaving her choices for last - once she's eliminated all the other contenders.

Eroge/galge I would like to see an TV anime of:

ONE (not the crappy OVA that killed it)
Kazoku Keikaku
Kizauto
Shizuku
MuvLuv
MuvLuv Alternative
CLANNAD
CROSS+CHANNEL
Kono Yo no Hatede Koi o Utau Shoujo YU-NO
Ever17
KimiKiss
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (I want it to be redone by Kyo-Ani)

[Spuffy]

The game I really want an anime of is MuvLuv Alt. Making one of both games would be hoping for too much I guess.

Watching the Routes trailer at Leaf/Aquaplus made wanting a Routes anime. The animation in it really got the design right. Besides you can't get too much Satsuki. Then I think Lost Child could be kind of interesting. Then again, those two are anything but likely candidates.

[endofuniverse]

I haven't encountered yet anime made after eroge/galge that gives you even near experience of playing actual game, not even more quality stuff like Air. Or in other words imho 90% of those conversions are not much more than garbage.

That said, maybe I'd like to see decent adaptation of Symphonic Rain, just not by Gonzo ^^;

[luckyovermind]

I don't know much myself, but I guess this list done by kj a few years ago might be a good starting point...

Personally I'd like to see Silver done before Red.

[bluemist]

I thought that Leaf's "Tenshi no inai 12-gatsu" would make a good anime drama.

I would also like a Muvluv anime which bashes and spoofs its predecessor Kiminozo almost the same way the two Comic Party anime ridiculed To Heart.

[animefanrk2k]

kj1980 got MuvLuv and CLANNAD covered. XD

[DanielSong39]

My unofficial Eroge/Galge Hall of Fame: (from kj1980's list)

1999 - To Heart
2003 - D. C. ~ Da Capo
2003 - Kimi ga Nozomu Eien
2005 - AIR TV
2006 - Canvas2 - Niji iro no Sketch

Probably a few I missed. The list looks incomplete to me. Let's see if Kanon 2006 makes this list.

[Sushi-Y]

Besides those old classics from the 90s and some relatively recent releases, most of the really popular ones from the past few years have already been covered. kj's wishlist above contains pretty much all the big ones left.

There are some games that deserves to be animated as well, but their length makes it difficult (Key's Planetarian, Stage Nana's narcissu, etc.).

Personally, I think a Touhou-series anime would be the most awesome thing ever.

[MakubeX2]

The GalGe Animes to end all adaptions :-

Saya No Uta and/or Tenshi No Inai Jyuuni Gatsu.

Disturbing and Depressing as hell.

[Scribble]

I haven't had much experience (!) with galge as much as some of the other members, but I do have an idea of what I'd like to see:

MuvLuv: The fact that it's related to KGNE, spoof
Kana: First title I've ever completed
CLANNAD: 'Cause of Key
ONE: Key

[Amethyst]

I think an animation of AYAKASHI (by CROSSNET / APRICOT) would almost definitely attract many people. Especially now when the anime bubble looks like it's about to burst (69 new TV series next spring) we need to see more compromises made that won't just attract the already established fanbases. I think AYAKASHI has such a story that would accomplish this task well (just like fate/stay night did). Anyway, I think it has a great story for an animation.

The other game from my wish list (it is a really selfish wish though) was already fulfilled two weeks ago. UNISON-SHIFT's Nanatsuiro★Drops.

[DanielSong39]

I think it's a shame that KyoAni didn't animate CLANNAD first... the girls are much more intelligent and capable than the ones in AIR or Kanon.

Still, keeping my fingers crossed - perhaps in 2008?

Saya no Uta probably won't work well as an TV anime adaptation (not enough contents/extreme story). It'd be perfect as an OVA or movie though.

Then again, if it's down to that, it's probably not going to make much money = low chance of being animated.

That's the number for this year's (2006's) spring lineup. The rumor(emphasis) is that the number will be similar for next year's spring lineup.

I'd imagine the game's scale would make it incredibly difficult to animate, especially if the company is trying to stay faithful to the original game, like what Kyoani is doing with AIR and Kanon. After all, we're not talking about "a Summer/Winter tale" here, CLANNAD's story lasts through several eras of the main characters' lives. It won't be easy to balance that main story with the numerous heroines/subcharacters' routes that occur during the school life era.

That's good news. Kanon 2006 is great, but I hate it how Yuuichi dominates ALL of the girls so far =/

[41nano]

I wish I could see KimiKiss and CLANNAD animated
