Came to complain about this...oh fuck I am gonna complain either way!!
I wish they would do the same to Rurouni Kenshin what they did to Full metal Alchemist and remake the entire series again, but they can use the original soundtrack as that was incredible.
I'd say some manga are better without an adaptation. I can't imagine a Oyasumi Punpun anime.
I have a love/hate relationship with the anime. Obviously, the plot is remarkably retarded and has very little to do with the manga (for god knows what reason). On the other hand, it has really great voice acting, and the soundtrack absolutely rocks. I also have a little bit of nostalgia for it because it was the first anime DVD I owned.

Another I would like to Nominate is Flame of Recca, for some reason I hated this anime but I really love the manga.
Also Kingdom anime and its godawful cg and censoring is a travesty they need to redo it.

Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer
damn shame this hasn't gotten an adaption yet
also, motherfuckin BLAME!
I'd love to see a good proper adaption that's more than just whatever that short OVA series was.
and none of that CG shit like in Sidonia's adaption
I am still salty that Gainax cancel Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer adaptation, I know it's because of the recording company, but damn it
Came here to post this
Ykk, more obscure than LoGH.

Ubel Blatt anime would be crazy (altrough that series went down the drain after 80 or something chapters)

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Yeah, I also want this to happen. IIRC, the first arc had a different flow to it and changed/cut out a lot of stuff from the manga, as well. I remember reading the manga a long time ago and thinking it was far superior.
Berserk's Golden Age arc is great - but that what follows it is incredible. I read somewhere that the team who made the first three GA movies planned to create more Berserk movies, but due bad numbers they are reconsidering this. While I know that the movies and the anime exist, to me it still feels like that Berserk has never been really adopted to anime because the GA arc is a super long (but important and well executed) prologue to me.
And Vagabond deserves to reach a broader audience as well.

Saint Seiya fans waited like 20 years to finally see the the final and what is without a doubt the best arc in the series, the result was bittersweet, the arc itself was split in two and released in OVA format, the first part was beautifully animated and very well done, then we had to wait like 3 more years for the second and final part of the arc, but something went terribly wrong, the budget for this part was ultra low and the results were atrocious, terrible animation that made it look like a cheap flash animation, etc, fans raged and wondered how the quality sunk so much.
But hey, after like 20 years we got closure.

Oh man, I completely forgot about this series. A shame we probably won't see an anime version, as I'd love to see fresh new reactions to stuff like chapter 2.
A fucking shame

One of my favorite manga of all time. Though, honestly, I kinda have a hard time picturing it as an anime. The flow and scenery porn of the series would probably be too slow and boring for mainstream viewers maybe. I really liked the OVAs they did but those... just weren't enough damn it! This series needs more love; also a western release!
I love this book!
The things that happen and the pace at which they happen are essential to the theme so yeah, will never be satisfyingly adapted unless they turn it into a bunch of unconnected shorts. The passage of time is extremely important to the book.
Man I gotta go back and read this again. Been too long.

Zatch Bell. The anime had to make up an ending for the Faudo arc, and they didn't even get to animate any of the Top Ten Mamodo arc.
Blade of Immortal probably suffers the same problem too. Some wonder if it can be animated at all and retain the same visual style. I think it could but it would require a Production IG feature-level budget for every episode.
I keep wondering if it's too soon to expect that. How many chapters does a manga usually get before an anime adaptation is feasible? Vinland is just over 100.

There have been so many manga over the years that I wanted an anime series for, that it'd take me forever to list them all. I'll just list the one that I think most deserves one.
Dragon Quest Retsuden: The Emblem of Roto
Easily the best story in the entire Dragon Quest franchise, game or otherwise, and one of the best fantasy manga, it only got one 45 minute "movie." Real shame as it's just an amazing series from start to finish and really expands the lore of DQ3's world and explores it like how you'd want. This series and it's sequel were a huge inspiration to the creators of Dragon Quest XI, apparently.

Billy Bat and 20th Century Boys. Although 20th had live action movie adapatations that even got here.
I would pay high moneys for a Billy Bat anime.

They need to redo Gantz and change things up after the Osaka arc and totally scrap the Catastrophe arc.

CROSSBONE GUNDAM!!!
Nah, Berserk doesn't need budget. The original TV series had no budget and is still a classic. Eva TV has no budget and is a classic.
You can still make good shows with lots of stills and panning if you've got a good director.
Also nobody is probably mentioning Trigun because the manga, while good for a while, ended up being pretty awful in the end imo. Doesn't need adaptation.
Crossbone would be a waste of talent that could be used for an original Gundam TV series. The manga is good enough. Same with stuff like the Astray series.
Actually, I'd be ok with Crossbone as an OAV like they're doing Origin.
Original like 00, Seed and Age were, and how Reco is going to be?
Nice joke.
I'd rather have the talent adapting a proven story rather than leaving it up to Tomino and his shitty friends.
Beelzebub had a worse problem than that. They decided to stick 10 minutes of filler into every episode, ruining the comedic timing. Can't even skip stuff like with Naruto, because it's woven in everywhere.
I don't really feel as bad about it anymore though, after the manga ending.
What? Really?? Nice, i friggin loved Pluto (okey, i've loved everything that Urasawa has done so far) It would be nice to see the anime
I'd take any of those over just seeing Crossbone, which I've already read, animated. It adds nothing to the Gundam universe, whereas new series adds potential good mechs, characters, episodes, storylines, battles.
Rorouni Kenshin never got to final arc as the animé died in filler episode.
Flame of Recca never got to finish it's story either and just ended far to early.
Agreed, Rurouni Kenshin deserve another chance but this time without the filler and with any arc being faithful to the manga.
Yeah, even Watsuki wasn't fond of some the changes they made in the first season.
The Kyoto saga was amazing though, and is worth watching on it own.

Naruto Pain Arc.
They really butchered this arc and it still pisses me off.

Hitoshi pace and style is great. I love how mysterious his stories are and how you never get to know exactly what's going on in it. I didn't know there were Ovas of Yokohama Kaidashi! I will search for them!
They are on YouTube subbed. Well not officially but you can find them there easily. The music is amazing.
Naruto Pain Arc.
Can someone explain to me why a show as popular as Naruto (which is far more popular than it has any right to be) looks like shit?
Because long running shows would be prohibitively expensive to make (anime is less profitable than you might believe) if they spent as much per episode as studios do for normal length series (13-26 episodes).
Considering most normal series are already filled to the brim with corner cutting, it's should be no surprise that a 200 episode behemoth like Naruto or One Piece would experience the worst kind of cheapness in the industry. Most of the animation work is farmed out to animation sweatshops in Korea.
THAT SAID.
That particular fight is very controversial in the scene, because it's an example of when the animation is really well done (seriously, look at all the fucking keyframes and distortion), but the style completely clashes with the rest of the show.
Animation diehards hold it up as an example of when Naruto is actually worth watching.
Naruto fans see it as a betrayal of the show's aesthetic, animation or no. They'd rather have shoddy animation that blends in with the rest of the show than good animation that sticks out like a sore thumb.
Honestly, it's all a mess and so you should avoid watching shit like Naruto. There's many many better things to watch out there, if you know where to look.
