That's a HORRIBLE adaptation!

At first, it isn't that awful, just another mediocre children's anime adaptation of a popular video game. And Henry Hatsworth's "adorable" niece added for kid appeal, isn't that annoying. But halfway through the production process, the primary director's wife runs off with another man, and he orders rewrites to the remaining episodes that make them Darker and Edgier, much to the detriment of the fun atmosphere. He's fired, and a Happy Ending sloppily reattached to the final episode.

Macross Frontier, the Soviet propaganda film from the late 1940s.

I'm not sure how singing teaches people to accept Communism, but it was catchy. Also, the space battles are pretty cool, but does that mecha have to have stars all over it? No wonder it's so rare!

EDIT: Mama, I just killed a thread,

Put a post against it's head,

Pressed on "Post" now it's dead.

Mama, the thread has just begun,

But now I've gone and thrown it all away.

MAMA! Oooooo!

Didn't mean to make you cry!

If this thread doesn't have a new post by tomorrow,

Carry on, Carry on.

As if nothing really matters.

It is so weird that the creators kill each other what the show was meant to be about.

What do you expect from me, I've never watched it.

He's more adaptable than you'd think,it'd work out somehow

The point of The Thief And The Cobbler was the animation and it's deranged-ness,...you can't truly adapt such tricks into a novel,... so no it's not Exactly What It Says on the Tin

It is the exact same thing as the anime, only a bit darker in color and nature, done with models, and it takes place in a town called Deadsville.

A lot of people are squicked out by the sex scenes ("Sex between a human and a machine?! EW!), while some find them to be Fetish Fuel. Naturally, most members of the latter group are ostracized by members of the former group.

Ranma ½ as a B-Movie by Ed Wood.

Ranma is now an alien who falls in love with a human woman who is cursed to become a panda (Represented by a stuffed animal) every night until Ranma is able to find dirt in the ground.

Tyler The Creator makes a First-Person Shooter.

It is considered the greatest game of the year for it's multiplayer,different gameplay types and the high amount of contents.

It's fandom don't hype it to god-like levels ironically enough.

Cupcakes:The Darkerand Edgier Anime and Manga.

Higurashi with FiM characters.

Uninvited: The Visual Novel

It's rather touchy. You have to do everything exactly right to get the best ending. In all the bad endings, YOU GET THE POISON IN YOUR BLOOD!

Romeo and Juliet the tabletop roleplaying game

The graphics are prettier, and the puzzles make a bit more sense. However, the story is completely linear, disappointing fans of the original.

Minecraft vs. Terraria 3: Fate of Two Worlds, as developed by Capcom (circa 2000).

Up to a point, it's a fairly faithful adaptation, with some freaky scary artwork and okay spooky music. But the adaptation takes what could be considered a hint of incest if you turned your head sideways and squinted into a full blown Not Blood Related romantic subplot, which quickly takes over the "good ending" plot path. Many players feel the need to scrub their skins with steel wool afterwards.

And, as long as we're being seasonal...

Yu Gi Oh the horror film remake, helmed by Roger Corman.

It's pretty much just a live-action adaptation of the anime. The shadow realm is done away with and a bunch of cheesy special effects are added. It manages to turn the Narm Charm of the original Up To Eleven. The fandom has a small minority calling it an instant classic, but most are indifferent due to the way the rules of the game are ignored and how low-budget the adaptation is.

Call Of Duty: The Bullet Hell game

Multiplayer is twice as fun, albeit much much much much much harder, the story is still as "realistic" as ever, ZUN makes the new character designs, yet it still sticks to it's roots, with the loud and confusing battles we all love about the series.

Considered a high classic and of god-like standard,many fans kill each other to find it because it is so rare.

Animal Farm:The Bullet Hell Shoot 'Em Up.

You play as Napoleon, shooting dogs at animals and humans while avoiding the humans' shotguns shots. The game is incredibly buggy and has hardly anything to do with the plot of the book. It's made by LJN.

Nineteen Eighty Four: The Visual Novel eroge.

It is really fucked up and incredibly unerotic. And it makes No. Fucking. Sense!

Chrono Trigger but with Digimon as NP Cs and Bosses with Zeed-Millenniumon as the final boss.

How the Digital World exists prior to the invention of artificial electricity and the subsequent technology needed to create Digimon is never explained in a satisfactory manner. Also, Lucca is the leader, because she's the one with goggles.

Since we inadvertantly skipped over a couple, I'll also do Romeo & Juliet: The Tabletop Roleplaying Game.

It's a licensed tie-in to the latest movie remake by one of the the "generic rules set" game companies. It has a stripped-down version of the rules, character sheets for the main cast, and an excellent "Renaissance Italy" campaign background section. Unfortunately, the movie stunk on ice, so film fans aren't interested, and the regular gamers already have a copy of the rules, thanks very much. Most sales go to university collections of Shakespeare related memorabilia.

Saint Seiya the live-action romance telenovela.

Seiya and Hyõga in a relationship. I do not need to say more.

Vocaloid: the anime, dubbed by Funimation.

A Slice of Life comedy with a musical number in the middle of every episode (think Phineas And Ferb). Miku is voiced by Monica Rial, Rin and Len = Laura Bailey, Luka = Wendee Lee, and the rest is up to you cause I'm not putting any more thought into this than I need to. All the songs are dubbed, thankfully.

All the daft punk music got cut out and the characters get changed in some manner such as already having human skin-tones.

Puni Plush really doesn't work in LEGO. The setlist is only a couple of songs and most of the gameplay is playing a cake-eating minigame.

Big Rigs Over The Road Racing Oscar Bait movie with a record-breaking budget. Screenplay by Stephen King, directed by James Cameron.

It is so badass that everyone got an orgasm watching it that a actually good remake of the game was made complete with glitches from the original retooled into legitimate gameplay elements. The fans of the original whined endlessly about it though.
