Your dream AAA anime game

I've never gotten the epic Gundam campaign game I've always wanted. But I'm not sure who I'd pick to make it. Maybe the Ace Combat team, Project ACES? They do a really good job of big complicated battles with tons of stuff going on, and could make the melodramatic between story missions work too.
Gintama Yakuza remains the best possible idea for this. I think they'd have to go out of their way to mess it up. It's a layup and I'm sad it hasn't happened.
Another idea that I'm not sure would actually turn out well but I think could be good with a good developer in charge is an open world Inuyasha game. I'm not even a fan of open world games generally, but I think the high-ish amount of filler in Inuyasha could actually work to its benefit when making a game like this. One of the issues I have with a lot of hypothetical open world/sandbox takes on anime stories is that while the worlds could be fun to do stuff in, the stories are often pretty rigid and don't have a ton of great opportunities to actually make use of them. Inuyasha is borderline episodic, and there's no shortage of scenarios to use for content in such a game. You already have 4 easy characters to use for a varied set of playstyles and you have a plethora of memorable locations and stories to use for the world/quests. I think it could work really well.

I remember these amazing arts that depicted what Made in Abyss game would actually look like.
Shout out to the artist Shen YH on art station for crating this amazing art! https://www.artstation.com/yh_shen
Since we're never going to see the new continent in HxH manga i'd love a video game that explore this aspect of the world with the supervision of the author of course.
More Arcsys fighting game from combat heavy series, maybe even a new jump ultimate stars from them and i mean the 2d game that tried to emulate smash bros, not the latest abominations. As for an individual anime i'd like to see as a fighting game i'd give a special mention to symphogear.
Otherwise as thing that will never happen a magical girl or sentai MMO.

A Bleach game made by Cyberconnect in the vein of the Ultimate Ninja Storm games but with Rise of A Ninja story mode.
Dragon Ball, not Z, Breath of the Wild like. Don't care if it's classic DB as Goku or some original adventure as Gohan during his training before Saiyan Saga. Just a low stakes adventure with a flimsy overall story to justify some big final fight.
Full open world to explore, tons of random questlines here and there with lots of NPCs to interact with. Similar combat to BotW, but increased emphasis on hand to hand combat, some simple Ki blasts and weapons like the sword, Power Poll and what not. Switch out the Paraglider for Flying Nimbus. Let me climb Korin's Tower. Fight the RR Army and stuff.
I hate how rigid and stiff the DB games are. DBZ: Kakarot was fine but soooo fucking game-y and just the same old retelling of the same plots.

Can't think of a studio but I want an Overlord game that is an open world RPG where I build and empire and choices impacts story and other things.
A cel-shaded 3rd person action game that takes inspiration from late 80's and early 90's cyberpunk animes such as Akira, Genocyber, Angel Cop, Wicked City, Legend of the Overfiend, Demon City Shinjuku etc. I want giant sprawling cities, huge and over the top bosses and lots and lots of gore.
I don't really need most anime in video game form but I would love to see Zillion return. Let the Yakuza team make it.
From software X Demon slayer
Perfect fit for the type of gameplay they do and the struggle with boss rights fits the characters struggle with the obviously stronger demons

ND are not nearly inventive enough in their writing for Cowboy Bebop. Ryu Ga Gotoku studios would be a better fit in my view.
Definitely a JoJo fighting game from Arc System Works.
Does your Insomniac AoT game keep the existing English voice cast or do they start over with their own cast?
MMO RPG like Danmachi/The Rising of the Shield Hero and JoJo's fighting game from Arc System Works .
Cowboy Bebop starring Faye and Jett, developed by prime United Front Games but since that's not possible by Rocksteady
Also, Avatar open world game by Sucker Punch.

A good Gantz game that combines Persona and standard 3rd person action like Astral Chain. Platinum would be my choice of developer.
Gintama GTA (more open world) or Ryu Ga Gotoku (more action, narrative & mini games) game. Gintoki and team running across Kabuki-cho taking odd jobs and all beloved characters appear in it in some major way. The most important thing that needs to be in the game is the crazy parodies and gags.
Hunter x Hunter Greed Island open world Action Adventure by Nintendo. Probably by Aonuma team or Monolith. Complete quests, explore the world and collect all cards. Either have playable Gon & Killua or create a character (and go more the Xenoblade X route).
Naruto, One Piece or Dragon Ball turn based RPG by Larian. A Divinity rip-off in anime style with moves from these anime.
Gurenn Lagann by Platinum. Giant mechs action game starring Gurenn Lagann. What more should I add?
Shingeki no Kyoujin by Capcom's Monster Hunter teams. Instead of monsters, you 'hunt' titans. Fight different types of titans, protecting humanity and high and G rank will be fighting the 9 titans. You can also play as a titan with your goal to destroy humans of Paradis or the rest of the world or have titan vs titan fights.
Shonen Jump Smash Bros. With Sakurai as the director. Easy money, just make it a rip-off of Smash. Characters who don't end up playable could be Assist Trophies.

Either would be absolutely amazing. Throw in the ship in a collector's edition!
Made in Abyss Action RPG. Cowboy Bebop Yakuza. Evangelion Persona. Demon Slayer Ghost of Tsushima.
Dream AAA game isn't restricted to home consoles, ya know? :D
I want a full-body VR experience, 4K per eye, with contact lenses for those who have astigmatism.
With the VR treadmill, wireless VR headset, and hand controllers you can wear.
Game will be about medieval high-fantasy MMORPG lifestyle.
Yeah, that's right, isekai!

I don't know how it would work, but I would like a Yamato game with "naval" battles like AC:BlackFlag, with some dog-fighting with Cosmo Falcon/Zeros fighters (leave Yamato on auto and go outside) and possible action/rpg planet explorations for resources/side quests with a party with Kodai, Mori, Sanada, etc.
Xenoblade Chronicles X combined with Gundam. Basically, keep the focus on the on-foot gameplay AND the mecha combat. Whether it's something like White Base traveling the world, or it's something like a war over a single space colony. Allow me to attach myself to the characters and actually develop personal relationships with people.
I would also love to see a Macross game. It should have both out of Mech and in Mech portions. Maybe have Persona like Social Calendar as well as your performance in Battle should affect both the ending as well as progression.
It needs to have a great soundtrack though, well, since it's Macross.

I love this movie, but I don't know how would work as a game. Angel's Egg is also one of the inspirations for Dark Souls 3, so Miyazaki would be perfect.
The Ace Combat team made a Gundam game on the PS2. It's called Mobile Suit Gundam: One Year War.
Around the same time, Sega's Aero Dancing dev team made a SDF Macross game. Both are really good.
