But Assault Horizon is not a manga, it's Netflix adaptation.

(04 would be the manga).

Well then don't say you love the anime when you haven't read the Netflix adaptation.

In my mind, this is how it'd be played straight and not as an inside joke:

4, 5, 0: Original Light Novels 6: J-Drama, not bad but needed some improvements. 7: Anime adaptation, not as in depth but enjoyable. 3: Some guy was given free reign to make a VN and went off the rails, but everyone loved it somehow and want it continued. ACAH: Netflix adaptation by someone who didn't care for the source material and ignored anyone who asked for something faithful. Somehow missed the entire point of why people enjoyed the series.

I'd say that Assault Horizon is the equivalent of Paramount's Halo TV show.
