One great anime based on a light novel is 'Sword Art Online'. It takes place in a virtual reality MMORPG world where players are trapped. The story follows Kirito as he battles his way through the game's levels and faces various challenges. Another is 'Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World'. The protagonist Subaru has the ability to return by death, which leads to a complex and engaging plot filled with mystery and character development. And 'Overlord' is also a notable one. It's about a powerful wizard who gets trapped in a game world as his in - game character and starts to build his own empire.
Another example is 'The Wind Rises'. While it's fictionalized, it's loosely based on the life of Jiro Horikoshi, a real aircraft designer. The anime incorporates elements of his experiences and the historical context of that time.

There were many anime adapted from games that could be referred to as the following popular works:

These are some of the more popular anime works adapted from games, and of course, there are many other excellent works.
I'd recommend 'The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya'. It's a classic that has a unique story. Haruhi's character is really interesting and the situations she gets into are both funny and thought - provoking. Also, 'No Game No Life' can be a good choice. The rules of the game - based world are easy to understand after a while, and the sibling duo's antics are quite entertaining. It's a great introduction to the world of animes based on light novels.
They are often more emotionally resonant. For example, in 'Grave of the Fireflies', the real - life backdrop of war makes the story of the siblings' survival extremely poignant. The viewers can feel a deeper connection because it's based on something that actually happened.
One example is 'Grave of the Fireflies'. It is based on the real experiences during World War II. It shows the hardships and tragedies that the two main characters, a young boy and his sister, face in the war - time Japan, including starvation and the destruction of their home.
They also tend to have a distinct art style. Visual novels often have their own unique art, and when adapted into animes, they usually keep some of those stylistic elements. For instance, 'Fate/stay night' has a very recognizable art style that is both detailed and has a certain 'fantasy' feel to it, which is carried over from the visual novel.
One such anime is 'Grave of the Fireflies'. It's based on the true story of two siblings trying to survive in Japan during World War II. The anime realistically portrays their struggle for food, shelter, and the harsh living conditions they faced.
Accuracy. They often strive to represent historical events or real - life situations as accurately as possible. For example, in 'Grave of the Fireflies', the details of the post - war Japanese setting are quite accurate.
