As part of a subculture, manga, anime, and games are sometimes considered a small entity because of their strong economic and cultural connections, and this entity has different nicknames in different cultural contexts. For example, in Chinese-speaking regions and East Asia, they are collectively referred to as ACG/ACGN, and in Japan, they are referred to as MAG.
Therefore, you can fully assume that the relationship between the three is very close. Since both anime and games are dynamic, you may sometimes find elements of certain games in some anime - and vice versa.
As a video game that has been popular worldwide in recent years, Genshin Impact’s cartoony art style, rich game plot, and rich and diverse game elements may make you think of this game through similar elements when watching some anime after playing Genshin Impact.
Based on this, we will select 7 of these animes to introduce to you.
1. Fate/Stay Night
As a classic series in the anime industry, the Fate series originated from a famous visual novel game and has spawned many works, including games, anime, and novels. Like Genshin Impact, Fate Grand Order, the Fate game, also uses a gacha system for randomly obtaining characters. However, besides this game, watching the original animation may bring you more unexpected gains.
Since there are so many Fate series, you may not know choose which one as start, but according to fans and some critics, it is recommended to choose Fate/Stay Night as the starting point and then watch more subsequent animations in the order of release.
If you are used to obtaining characters with Genshin Impact Genesis Crystals in Genshin Impact because of their unique charm, the story characters shown in Fate/Stay Night may make you have a similar urge when playing Fate Grand Order.
2. KonoSuba
Of all the anime that have similarities with Genshin Impact, KonoSuba should be the most comedic one. By perfectly outputting many ironic different world metaphors and putting the characters into embarrassing and funny situations, KonoSuba can definitely make you laugh.
The protagonist Kazuma is a clown who always likes to team up with more problematic allies, and the result is that they will jointly present you with a silly adventure that is even more hilarious than the funniest plot of Genshin Impact.
3. Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon?
As a game based on Teyvat for you to explore, most popular isekai-themed anime may have similarities with Genshin Impact. In isekai-themed anime, the characters may be transported to another world by accident, or they may be born in another world like your Genshin Impact character, such as Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon?
Also known as DanMachi, this anime has a typical RPG style. The story revolves around a boy with big dreams who gets some unexpected help from a goddess, who also accompanies him to explore the dungeon to help him realize his dream. In a way, this is very similar to the actions of Genshin Impact character teammates who help you win the battle, right?
4. One Piece
The biggest similarity between Genshin Impact and One Piece is that they both convey a great and fun spirit of adventure by letting the protagonists travel in their own worlds. Although the overly long episodes may make you feel that it is difficult to stick to watching One Piece, this is necessary to fully show the vast world in it, just like you can only fully explore Teyvat after investing a lot of time.
In terms of specific plots, the story of One Piece revolves around Straw Hat Pirates, each of whom has his own unique personality. They are brought together by a solid bond of friendship, and Captain Luffy regards other members as precious family members and always does everything he can to protect them no matter what difficulties he encounters, just like you do when you encounter danger in Genshin Impact.
5. Jujutsu Kaisen
When you see the strange creatures in Jujutsu Kaisen, you will definitely think of the mythical creatures and terrible bosses in Genshin Impact, and both your Genshin Impact character and the protagonist of Jujutsu Kaisen need to fight these creatures.
As an anime that incorporates fantasy combat elements, the characters in Jujutsu Kaisen are unique in their talents and personalities, which has led to the animation’s high popularity. Although Jujutsu Kaisen is slightly darker than the world view and plot presented in Genshin Impact, it is still worth watching.
6. InuYasha
When your Genshin Impact character completes the main quest, you always need to cooperate with the corresponding character according to the main storyline to defeat your common enemy and move forward. These enemies may be rebellious archons, evil gangs, or monsters that threaten the lives of residents in the area. The main plot of InuYasha is very similar to this combat mechanism.
After the heroine Kagome fell into a magic well, she found herself back in feudal Japan, but unusually, there were many non-human creatures living here besides humans. After meeting InuYasha, Kagome and he needed to team up with those righteous partners to defeat the evil behind-the-scenes boss Naraku.
7. Bleach
Unlike other anime, the relevance of Genshin Impact and Bleach is mainly reflected in the various weapons. Genshin Impact uses a unique lottery system, allowing you to obtain various combat weapons randomly, and these weapons are of different sizes, colors, abilities, and designs. Bleach also shows you many unique weapons belonging to different characters.
The weapons of Bleach characters, including Soul Reaper, Hollow, or Quincy, are called Zanpakutō. Each knife has a unique soul that can communicate with the user during training or battle.
After the introduction, I believe you must be more interested in these works, so why not choose one to watch now, maybe you can find more similarities between it and Genshin Impact!
