The entire concept and mechanics of gaming has evolved as the years go by. Genres, themes, and systems are becoming wider and advanced because of the imaginations of the game creators, giving them unlimited options on how to implement their creative minds. Just like gaming, anime is also somehow similar when it comes to showing its creativity. Though they provide different forms of entertainment, one thing common about them is that we are able to enjoy their works.
Anime and Gaming are entirely different forms of creation, but merging these two creates an almost infinite opportunity to make something that captures the heart of both gamers and anime watchers.
