I like to read classical books and then watch the various film adaptations that have been produced based on those works to see how they compare. This list is mainly to track what I consider to be worthwhile adaptations and perhaps a helpful guide for those looking to experience these stories without having to read the literary works upon which they are based. I try to list only direct adaptions of the books and avoid listing sequels, re-imaginings, and parodies unless they standout in some way.

Tales of Eternia: The Animation is a 2001 Japanese animated series that acts as a side adventure to the video game of the same name (it was called Tales of Destiny II in North America). The show uses an original storyline featuring the four main protagonists and was supposedly produced as part of a multimedia campaign, but information on this is scarce. The series was picked up for an English translation in 2002 but the license ended up expiring and so the dub was never released. Apologies in advance for the poor image quality. This anime series is very old and not widely available in good quality. Opening Music: Sora ni Kakeru Hashi (by Masami Okui) Credit Music: I'd Love You to Touch Me (by Masami Okui) Spoiler Warning: I am going to give a synopsis of each episode and my opinions at the very end.
