The landscape of anime production is experiencing a significant shift as video game intellectual properties (IPs) emerge as the primary source for new titles, overtaking traditional comic book adaptations. Recent analysis reveals that the number of anime adaptations based on video games soared by an impressive 137% in 2024.
