Did the game or the anime come first?

Was ROs an adaptation of a game into an anime or an anime into a game?

Answer 1

ROs referred to the game " Rock Band " and not the animation " Rock Band ". Games and anime were produced and released in different orders, so it was impossible to simply answer the question of whether the game or the anime came first.

The production and distribution of games and comics had their own unique history and process. In the game development process, a prototype or game concept would usually be created first, then tested and improved until it met the standards for release. After the game was released, there would usually be a series of related anime works or movies adapted from the game.

In contrast, the production and distribution process of anime was relatively simple. Usually, it would be adapted according to the story, characters, and music elements of the game, and then produced into a corresponding animation or movie.

The production and distribution of games and anime had their own history and process. It was impossible to determine which came first.
