Action: (Genre) Lots of shooting, explosions, and the like. Contains subcategories of more specific types such as "Gun-Action", "Martial Arts", and "Swordplay"; see also: "Fighting".
Video-game inspired: (Type subgenre) The usual way for an anime to make it to the small screen is from a manga. Sometimes though the anime comes from a video game instead. Gungrave is a classic example: Take a video game from Sega about a undead who fights with musical instruments and create an Anime about love, friendship, betrayal, and a few demons. See also: "Dating Sim Spinoff".

In a strange confrontation in the schoolyard, Takeru and four girls are shrouded in a strange light that covers Takeshi, and then everything goes black. When they wake up, they find themselves separated from one another in a high school cracking and broken with age and covered in trees and vines. An attack by giant hostile insects, then a confrontation with strange floating creatures, with a sudden rescue by a troop of sword-carrying soldiers on horseback is proof that they are now in a very different world. |
