Depending on who does it, it could be shit or gold.
In all honesty if it were to be made I'd be a bit wary of it at first because the last anime based on Western stuff I saw was pic related.

I would since the book is great, of course. It would probably suck.

Best case it'd be like Shin Sekai Yori.
Worst case it'd be irredeemable garbage.

I'd rather something original and new, to be honest. 1984 has been done so many times already, and the plot wouldn't really keep me interested. How many times do we have to watch someone fall in love and then get broken by the system? Even 1984 copied most of the Plot from Zamyatin, then Brazil adapted it again, and it keeps being remade some way or the other.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the book, but it's just not fresh material anymore.

Yeah. Also shit from Eco or The Gospel According to Biff.

Only if big brother is a genki loli.

>>118486438
But what if it was like Gankutsuou? Or Aoi Bungaku?

Not to suggest I'm nearly that optimistic.

nyark was an anime showtune like the original hayate series. They were merely playing the lovecraft for laughs, and no one disagrees. I just think its awful that they had to have such a shit MC and have the other characters be so much fun.

No 6 or however it was called is basically what people are talking about when they mention fucked up adaptions or inspired series. I can't imagine a series like 1984 working with bishounen and stuff like that. Not to mention that the plot turned out to be shit and was about fucking wasps.

>>118487158
Brave New World sounds more like an anime to me, what with the kids having sex. Japan has that thing with drugs though, so I don't know if it will work.
I'm thinking anything Heinlein would make some great anime. He even wrote a genderbend novel. Now that I think about it, The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress sounds like a decent gundam.

No. Orwell a highschool-core shit

Admittedly it's a rather bigger change than Gankutsuou not making Eugenie an unfaithful lesbian, but that particular plot twist was only in it to titillate and surprise anyone who wasn't on the barricades and was rather pointless.

Don Quixote needs an anime.

It could even be modernized so that Quixote is an otaku who reads too much manga and talks himself into believing that he's a mecha pilot or a harem MC or a sentai fighter or something.

Epic of Gilgamesh.

It is, but the MC wanted it to be Kamen Rider toku shit before it did and then shit just gets nuttier from there.

I read both. I don't remember SHIT from Droon though.

Also, there is a Magic Treehouse anime movie. It was shit.

Catch-22 could be fucking excellent as an anime. Hell, it'd basically be Sora no Woto with more PTSD and suffering.

i'd prefer it be more along the lines of catch-22. Because it isn't the things we hate that will be our downfall. Nor the things we love, as Huxley glumly suggested.

We will choke on our own bullshit and minituae instead.
