Silver Days (Anime)

Silver Days (銀デイズ), also known as Silver Days: The Series (銀デイズ：ザ・シリーズ), is a 2015 online anime series that is an adaptation of Alex Guy's manga of the same name. The anime was co-created by Harry Harrup and Alex Guy himself, and was produced by their own animation studio, SEVENS.

The first episode of Season 1 was broadcast online on April 7, 2015 and adapts part of the manga's first portion, increasing the focus on virtual reality and magic; Season 2 adapts the remainder of the manga's first half while altering events to add more virtual reality duels. Seasons 3-6 faithfully adapt the second portion of the manga and the seventh season adapts the third and final portion of the manga.

Despite featuring the same characters and locations, various events have been altered and names such as Go Marufuji and Ryohaku Shimamoto were Americanized to Gustavo Masterson and Rover, respectively, and major religious references were also removed; for the Japanese subtitles of the show, the original names were kept.

Trivia

 * Many of the anglicized names present in the anime were, in fact, the original manga names for the characters before they were changed to more Japanese names. The reason for this is still unexplained by Alex Guy.
