Anime adaptations are animated versions of 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 and visual style of the original work into a format suitable for television or film. Popular examples of anime adaptations include Naruto, Attack on Titan, and My Hero Academia, which have successfully captured the essence of their source material while appealing to both fans and new viewers.
