Lois McMaster Bujold:
Hi! What are some of your favorite anime films or TV series? Did you ever consider adapting your work for animation? And last, do you play video games? Cheers!

Oh, I have a bunch of fave anime. Paprika is probably my favorite feature, though of course I also like most of the Studio Ghibli offerings. Series include but are not limited to Mushi-Shi, Otogi Zoshi, The GokuSen, Wallflower, Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi, Antique Bakery, Junjo Romantica, Mirage of Blaze, Shonen Onmyoji... As a general rule I have no use for giant fighting robots in any form, fighting samurai (Samurai Champloo excepted), ultra-violence, grimdark, or horror, though sufficiently Japanese folklore horror sometimes gets a pass.
Since I am not an anime producer, adapting my work is not up to me -- media adaptations are a buyer's market. But I have long thought Falling Free would be good in that medium.
No video games. I sampled Dragon Warrior and a few others back in the 80s, and quickly realized that if I got any further into this, my kids would die, my house would burn down, and my nascent career would go down the toilet. So I have missed the train on gaming.
