Manga You'd Like to See get an Anime

…Digging up this thread which I didn't think was this old. Damn. I almost regret wanting a Jitsu wa anime now, considering how that turned out. =.="

Otherwise, I was reading volume 10 of Area 51 (which took its sweet time to come out!) and really started to wonder what this series would look like in anime. Or any of Hisa Masato's series, really. It would be the occasion to try out some pretty original stuff in terms or coloring and shadowing.

Adapt all of Teppu, anime industry. World needs to know the perfection of swole girls.

Rin by the Beck Mongolian Chop Squad author I would watch the shit out of. Rin deserves more than it got.

An anime adaption of Satoshi Mizukami's big 3 (The Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer, Sengoku Youko, Spirit Circle) would be a dream come true, especially if Studio TRIGGER is involved because telling a Coming of Age Story is kind of their forte. It would be a match made in heaven.

Golden Kamuy. Otaku need to be educated about Ainu culture.

I'd love those three, especially Biscuit Hammer, but I'm pretty sure the author has gone on record that he does not want any anime adaptations of his work.

Van Helsing - Darkness Blood

It would be much cooler in animated form (and it should be longer too).

I have never heard about that. If it is true, it would make me very sad. I think Satoshi Mizukami's works have very fulfilling stories and satisfying endings, which I think is quite rare these days. It would be pity not animating them and spread their popularity.

Other manga I would suggest for an anime adaptation would be Hitoribocchi no Chikyuu Shinryaku and Urami Koi, Koi, Urami Koi.

Adapt Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko when it's deep enough, stick to Fumita's incredible character designs, and you have an anime worth watching.

And make it into shorts, preferably... Yonkoma anime can get slightly dull with 20 minute episodes.

Kujira no Ko-ra wa Sajou ni Utau could be a beautiful anime with a talented director. And also Kasane, if they tweak some of the overly linear exposition scenes.

Ad Astra - Scipio to Hannibal

- Been wanting to see a movie depiction of the Punic Wars for a damn long while now, and if Hollywood is not interested in the life and times of Hannibal Barca and the man who would become Scipio Africanus, perhaps an anime studio would be interested in picking it up?

Magika No Kenshi To Shoukan Maou

- Do light novel adaptations also count? Anyway, curious to see what this light novel would look like as an anime, whether it'll be as ecchi as High School Dx D (I believe it is), and whether this would be better lore-wise than The Irregular At Magic High School. (Also, thank the crazy son-of-a-gun who sent volume 2 of that light novel/manga(?) to the Life of Boris YouTube channel.)

…Remember two posts above, when I said Children of the Whale could be a great anime? Turns out an anime was indeed announced just around the time I wrote that post. So I'm pretty happy. It will be made by JC Staff it seems. And it looks gorgeous.

Astra Lost in Space

Futago no Teikoku. Especially if they gave it a proper adaptation unlike the other two Mohiro Kitoh manga that were made into TV shows.
