Anime adaptations are animated series or films based on existing works, such as manga, light novels, or video games. These adaptations aim to bring the original story and characters to life through animation, often expanding the audience and popularity of the source material. The process involves transforming the narrative style and pacing of the original work to fit the episodic format of anime. While some adaptations closely follow the source material, others may take creative liberties, altering plot points or character designs to appeal to a broader audience. Popular examples include Naruto, Attack on Titan, and My Hero Academia.
