About Adriano Valente

Adriano is TheBestWarGames’s Anime Features lead. He has been working on creating anime content for TheBestWarGames since November 2021. He enjoys a wide variety of anime, with Shinichiro Watanabe’s Cowboy Bebop and Akira Toriyama’s Dragon Ball being some of his favorites.
 

Favorite Games

I've always loved JRPGs like Pokemon FireRed and Persona 3The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Silent Hill 2, and Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3 are all favorites of mine as well.  

Favorite Anime

As the anime that started it all, Dragon Ball holds a special place in my heart. Shinichiro Watanabe’s Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, Gainax's Neon Genesis: Evangelion and FLCL,  and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood round out my list of favorite anime. 

Favorite Console

I have fond memories of playing with my Game Boy Color and Advance/SP. But with so many great JRPGs and survival horror games, the PS2 is definitely my favorite.
