No.9: "Golden Corda" series... 8 votes

No. 9: "Scarlet Piece -Escape from Fate- " ... 8 votes

Thus, " DAME x PRISE ANIME CARAVAN " took first place with an overwhelming number of votes.
Based on the romance adventure game "DAME x PRINCE," which was distributed by NHN PlayArt in March 2016, the anime adaptation in January 2018 included many gag elements, making it a work of gag and reverse harem elements. It was a game that had a lot of variety that viewers couldn't help but think, "No, that's not right!" The heroine's exhilarating sense of correction on behalf of the viewer in response to the "no good" princes with a variety of settings that the viewer cannot help but to inject, was a good work that is hard to find in other romance anime based on video games. Unfortunately, the original game app service ended at 12:00 p.m. on June 28, 2019 (Friday), but even after the game ended, a digital gallery was distributed by passionate fans, and as a result, this work gathered the passion of such passionate fans and won first place by more than 200 votes over second place. The second-place winner was the H&M in April 2015.

In second place was " Ansamburu Stars! which is based on a smartphone idol development app game distributed by Happy Elements Kakaria Studio in April 2015. The anime was originally scheduled to air in 2017, but after some twists and turns, including a postponement to 2019 and a title change, it aired from July to December in two consecutive seasons. Although the anime featured a large number of characters, there were also episodes focusing on units other than the main unit, Trickster, making it an anime that could be enjoyed by anyone who liked any of the characters. Many people may have played the game after watching the anime.

The "Ansamburu Stars! The third place winner by three votes was " Idolish Seven," a rhythm game for smartphones that has been distributed by Namco Bandai Online since August 2015. This game, known affectionately as "Ainana," has been released since August 2015 as "Ansamburu Stars! Basic" after a major update and "Ansamburu Stars! Music" has been downloaded more than 5 million times in total. Arina Tanemura of "Kamikaze Kaito Jeanne" and "Full Moon wo Sagashite" fame is in charge of the original character design, and many people may have checked out the game before it was released. The first season of the anime was aired from January to May 2018, and the second season from April to December 2020, taking a little longer than a one-cour broadcast period. It was a convincing Top 3 entry.

Another social game title in the top 3 was " Koi to Producer ~EVOL x LOVE~" at No. 8. This title has been downloaded more than 90 million times worldwide and is loved by people all over the world, so there were high expectations for the anime adaptation. In the anime, the romance element is a bit light, and the battle element between psychics is depicted more strongly, and the story ends with "It's just the beginning! The anime ended just as the story was about to end, so this ranking is probably due to the anticipation of seeing a sequel.

There were also a number of titles based on consumer games on the list. First, " Harukanaru toki no nakade " series, a romance adventure game for women released by Koei Tecmo Games (formerly Koei), came in at No. 4. Developed by Ruby Party, the game development team of Koei Tecmo Games, this is the second series in the Neo-Romance series, the gold standard of romance games for women. The main character, a young girl who has been summoned to the otherworldly Kyo as a divine child of the Dragon God, works with eight men called Yoha to protect Kyo from demons and grudge spirits in order to return to her original world. It is a Japanese-style science fiction fantasy set in a world reminiscent of ancient and Taisho period Japan, a departure from the "Angelique" series.
The " Golden Corda " series, also the third in the neo-romance series, came in at No. 9. This is the first work in the series to be set in modern Japan, and depicts the protagonist's school life as she participates in an inter-school music competition.

The romance adventure games " Meiji Toikyou" and " Uta no Prince Sama!" released by Broccoli ranked in at No. 6 and No. 7, respectively.
Meiji Toukyou Kougyou " is set in the Meiji period (1868-1912) and features many cultural figures such as Mori Ogai, Izumi Kyoka, and Koizumi Yakumo. KENN, who plays Haruso Hishida, sings the theme song for both the game, movie version, and TV anime, and the anime adaptation, which continues the game's worldview, has been well received. Uta no Prince Sama!" was an anime that made it easy for viewers who had not yet played the game to get into the story by carefully depicting episodes in which the heroine and the characters grow closer to each other. The popularity of the cast and the music by Elements Garden also contributed to the popularity of the anime, and an event featuring the entire cast was sold at a premium ticket price.

The ninth-placed title, " Hiiiro no Shards: Escape from Fate," is a romance adventure game released by IDEA FACTORY (Otomate) in July 2006. Otomate's "Hakuouki" series, also in 12th place, was also ranked in the top 10, a satisfying ranking for a game created by a company that built up the Otome game industry.

Not to be forgotten was " DYNAMIC CHORD," which came in at No. 4, as did the "Harukanaru toki no nakade" series. The original game was of course a popular work, but when it was adapted into an anime and started airing, it overturned its low reputation in many ways, and can be said to be a work that revolutionized the anime adaptation of games for women in a sense. There has never been an anime work based on a female-oriented game that I have looked forward to so much as the weekly announcement of the first cut. It was such an outstanding work that I can say with certainty that there has never been anything like it. I am sure that this is the only work, ever, that has given viewers so much laughter every week, even though it is an anime based on a female-oriented game. (I hope so, in more ways than one.) The drawings, sound, direction, script, and everything else that makes up the animation is dynamic! Various terms such as "Dynamic City," "Dynamic Building," "Dynamic Waterfall Gyogyo," and "Whyjijijiro" have been coined. When you watch the show, we recommend that you watch the BD & DVD as well as the TV broadcast version via one-time distribution. If possible, please compare the BD & DVD with the TV broadcast version.
