Manga you want turned into anime

Post by duotrouble »

Inspired by the anime revival thread . . . :^^:

So what manga have you read that you wish they would make an anime out of?

Here's my short list since I haven't read that much manga.

Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Gaiden
Absolute Boyfriend
Kill Me Kiss Me
Backstage Prince

Shojo manga is a guilty pleasure of mine. I would like to see Absolute Boyfriend made into an anime.

Others I'd like to see made into anime: +Anima, Uzumaki, Psycho Busters, Urasawa's rework of Astro Boy. Any of these being made would make me really excited.

Hmm...let's see....I would choose:

Ar Tonelico II (the world destroying stuff would be cool to see animated)
(BIG spoilers in the MAL character link descriptions):

Mirai Nikki (too violent though)
http://myanimelist.net/manga/584/Mirai_Nikki

Onihime VS
http://myanimelist.net/manga/9730/Onihime_Vs

Aflame Inferno
http://myanimelist.net/manga/4344/Aflame_Inferno

XBlade
http://myanimelist.net/manga/4650/XBlade

Hana to Akuma (Jun Fukuyama has got to voice Vivi. That would be perfect. :D )
http://myanimelist.net/manga/6520/Hana_to_Akuma

+C: Sword and Cornett (It's not very far along though)
http://myanimelist.net/manga/12922/+C:_ ... nd_Cornett

Those would be my top choices. I'd be excited seeing any of these animated if they were done properly.

I look forward to seeing the "King of Thorn" movie later on when it comes out.

There's several I'd like to see but the major ones:

Code Breakers
Shiki
Her Majesty's Dog
Hoshi wa Utau
and I agree with both Fushigi Yuugi Genbu Kaiden and Hana to Akuma :D

Like I said there are more but those are the first that come to mind :wink:

Lol :D

I don't think it helped any that BeeTrain loves doing those slow scenes where the characters are just staring at each other and not saying anything.

They also do a lot of very slow pan shots where a character is just staring off to the side. Some of their scenes are so slow sometimes.

Loved them more than shining diamonds, loved them more than glistenin' gold.
Hector called to all the people,"Come and share my treasure trunk!"
And all the silly sightless people came and looked...and called it junk.

At least Hana-Kimi has an awesome J-drama. :)

I just picked up Genbu #9. I can't wait to read it. Maybe I'll find time tomorrow. :^^:

Let's see...now that more time has passed:

Mirai Nikki is getting a TV series in ?October 2011. That MIGHT be interesting.

Hana to Akuma --- I still wish there was an anime of it.

Considering that Im Dal-Young stories haven't been translated to anime to my satisfaction, I'll pass on those.

A "Hoshi no Samidare" anime would be cool, but that would be more of a Gainax semi-weird kind of story. The manga wasn't popular either so an anime would never fly.

Teiden Shoujo to Hanemushi no Orchestra --- this would be very cool to see if there were more chapters of it available.

Tasogare Otome x Amnesia --- I wouldn't mind seeing Yuuko in anime form. :D

Blood Alone --- would be all right, but that story is frequently too subtle and slow for most people.

Onikiri-sama wa Hakoiri Musume --- would be fun, but the manga took awhile to get interesting.

Yougen no Chi --- would be neat, but it's too grisly. The manga has been on hold for years too so the story is almost officially dead now.

Hyakunen Renbo --- would be cute.

Iris Zero --- I get a strong feeling that this will become an anime somewhere down the line.
