Anime to video game adaptations possess slim options. These adaptions are either developed into an arena battle fighter or a sandbox game to explore the anime’s universe.

When presented with two options, humans will always argue over which is better. Apple vs PC, Coca Cola vs Pepsi, white meat vs dark meat, etc. Regarding the entertainment medium, Sub vs Dub to established anime fans is considered life or death. It is the basis for whether you truly experience the content to its fullest or as a fleeting joke never to be revisited. To me, matter of preference has no effect on my viewership.
