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)

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.

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.
