My fellow anime fans need to jump on these early Cyber Monday PS5 game deals before they're gone
Someone get the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to keep these deals going
One of the absolute greatest things about the PS5 is the sheer amount of games in its catalog based on well-known anime shows. Whether you're a fan of Dragon Ball, One Piece, or slightly newer series' like Jujutsu Kaisen, there's a boatload of games out there to tickle your fancy. Back in the 90s, even in the days of the very first PlayStation, there were still a ton of licensed games based on everything from Cowboy Bebop to, of course, more Dragon Ball, but not every game made its way overseas. Seeing the sheer volume of anime games available today is definitely a sight for sore eyes, especially when they're followed by some welcome discounts.
Cyber Monday is just hours away but already there are some tasty PS5 anime game deals to take advantage of, like Jujutsu Kaisen Cursed Clash dropping to just $19.99 at Amazon, 33% off its MSRP. For the anime fans who have mortgages and gray hairs to deal with, brand-new releases like Dragon Ball Sparking Zero are down to just $49.94 on Amazon, a deal which started during Black Friday but has been holding out ever since.
A lot of these deals are carried over from Black Friday's discount bonanza, which is great news for us anime nerds. However, with the big sales event coming to an end next week, these won't be around much longer. We've also finally reached December, and as scary as it sounds, there are only 24 days until Christmas. If you have an anime fan in your life and have no idea what to get them, so long as they have a PS5 with a disc drive, picking up any one of these Cyber Monday PS5 deals could put you in the 'coolest relative ever' list for years to come.

Ever since I first held a NES controller in my hand I've been obsessed with gaming, and the hardware it runs on. I could hook up a NES and SNES to a telly, without instructions, before I could walk. Even now, nothing is more exciting then taking a console, or handheld, out the box for the first time and setting it up. This obsession transformed into a love of games and game music, which lead to my music degree and dream of becoming the Scottish Nobuo Uematsu. After sharing my love of games through music, I began to share my love through words on sites like TechRadar and iMore. This lead to becoming a Hardware staff writer for PCGamesN, and later the Senior Tech Writer for Dexerto, covering all things Steam Deck, PlayStation and Nintendo. With that experience, I was able to level up as Hardware Editor for 12DOVE, where I'm still just as Nintendo, PlayStation and gaming tech obsessed as ever.
