We've seen numerous popular video games transition into anime shows, but one you might have overlooked is The World Ends With You. Based on the 2007 Nintendo DS game, The World Ends With You: The Animation made its anime debut a few years back. If you missed it, there's a Prime Big Deals Day special currently running where you can grab the Blu-ray for $37.50 (down from $65).
Similar to the game, the anime follows the recently deceased protagonist Neku Sakuraba as he finds himself in a video-game scenario in Shibuya known as Reaper’s Game. Struggling for survival in a new plane of existence with his memories fragmented, Neku must compete in a contest to regain his life or face being erased from existence. The anime closely mirrors the game's distinctive art style, and this Blu-ray includes all 12 episodes along with clean credit sequences.
The original game was later ported to the Switch in 2018 as The World Ends with You: Final Remix, followed by a sequel, NEO: The World Ends With You. Another anime adaptation worth checking out during Prime Day is Ace Attorney, based on the Capcom legal-drama series. The first season follows rookie defense attorney Phoenix Wright as he tackles an impossible case to prove his client's innocence. Normally priced at $35, it's currently available for $23.
