STAGE 45: Anime/Manga

Video games inspired by anime and manga have been around for quite a long time. A manga series becoming so popular that an anime series results from it, only to have it made onto a video game seems to be the next logical step. Why not? I mean Alot of anime is filled with over-the-top action and unique characters that the end result does lend well to a video game adaptation. So with that, this STAGE of the retro VGM revival hour is dedicated to video games based on a manga/anime series. =====Game - Composer - Title - Year - Company - System==== 1.)Ghost in the Shell - Takkyu Ishino - "Ghost in the Shell"- July 17, 1997 - Exact & Production I.G /THQ - Sony Playstation 2.)
