ITT Books that would make a nice anime
Isn't there already a Sangokushi (Yokoyama) anime?
1984, Brave New World
Artemis Fowl
Malazan
The Bible with anime tropes
A Song of Ice and Fire.
I mean it.
Goosebumps
>>135928067
Job suffering arc when?
I think this would be good. It would be unbelievably edgy and no one on /a/ would like it though.
>>135926748
There is a RotTK anime, actually, the 1991 dated one. The animation and censorship are horribad, but everything else is great, especially the last 10 episodes.
>>135926748
Shu>Wei>Wu
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Orthodox-Way-Kallistos-Ware/dp/0913836583
>>135926748
About 10 different RoTK anime already exist.
>>135928067
>It's not like I'm dying for your sins, baka
It's a short story but adapt it to contemporary Japan and it should be wonderful.
An anime version of Death of a Salesman would be interesting.
>>135927739
Brave New World would be full of hilarious fanservice.
>>135928067
Silly Anon, we already have Eva for that ;^)
>>135926748
>>135926748
Maybe iRobot? Would be interesting to see what they do with it.
A Waiting for Godot SOL.
We need more sci-fi anime
>>135929785
By KyoAni
Consider Phlebas and pretty much any other Iain M Banks sci fi novel would pretty much only be doable in the form of animation.
If they did A Fire Upon the Deep, they'd have to change Pham to a Japanese, or at least Chinese.
Japanese were able to accept Yang Wenli, but the Vietnamese prince of a planet named Canberra might be a stretch for them
>>135926748
Not even kidding.
It would be perfect
2666 ( Bolaño). A series of movies / OVAs seems sensible.
>>135928549
Nigga, Wei is supreme.
>>135928067

>>135933415
Jesus & Lazarus OTP.
>>135933121
Is this a meme or are the people who keep suggesting this being sincere?
>>135932666
Weird how Trump used to look like an actual human.
Another Starship Troopers anime.
>>135929599
>full of hilarious fanservice
Loli x shota and orgies, nice.
26 episodes of cute robots doing cute things, bromance, science, action and genuinely good comedy/philosophy mix. The three untranslated stories as OVAs would be great, too.
>>135928067
>Haremshit Jacob and his four waifus
>Fujobait David and Jonatan
>Gar Samson story
I can't think of a good biblical moe SOL.
>>135933121
Just finished reading tje part about the critics, /a/ would call it deepshit and cry about NTR. Also, what the fuck is up with Archimboldi?
Moby Dick would be a good anime.
As long as they exaggerated the IshmaelxQueequeg and AhabxStarbuck relationships, it would be fujoshit anime of the year.
>>135933298
Shut up Cow Cow
>>135933597
I'd love to see how the japanese would pronounce Trurl
>>135934946
trrruuurrruuruuu
or tuturu
>>135933910
>Archimboldi
Keep reading.
>deepshit and NTR
The edgy sections would outweigh this.
>>135933491
Sounds fun to me. I genuinely enjoyed the books so how bad could and adaptation be? We already have a stage adaption (or part thereof).
>>135929288
OP said nice anime, not that Ikki shit.
>>135928067
Super Book
Flying House
>>135933491
>Weird how Trump used to look like an actual human
yeah. now he looks like a god emperorback to /pol/ with you
>>135936538
speaking of >god emperor
Set it in a Japanese High School
Paul is generic self-insert MC who is strangely helpful/capable
Harkonnens are tsundere love interests
Shaddam is student council pres
Fremen are loner Otaku
Bene Gesserit are pop idols
studio /a/ would make millions
>>135926748
Movies are impossible, you'll need maybe 30 of them to cover it, and this book doesn't fit into brainless blockbuster category, but at the same time needs a huge budget to depict war. Anime would be perfect.
Imperial Guard fanservice would be glorious.
Journey to the West
>>135928549
Shu is fucking terrible.
Wei forever <3
>>135928067
>tropes
piss off
I think Don Quotixe would make a good anime since it's basically just chunnibyo but not shit.
>>135941524
Turn Don Quixote and Sancho into a loli.
Reading is for fags though.
>>135929252
>not posting the 10/10 cover
>>135926748
Chinese Paladin animu with GOOD cgi.
Opening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4FUyQ8DnDA
Metamorphoses.
It could work like just a bunch of shorts.
I envy this guy. He lived the dream.
>>135942645
Forgot pic.
>>135942645
>tfw donkey-dick loving lady animated
It would be the perfect media, not even joking.
>>135926748
It would be a fun ride, but I doubt Japan has much interest in the Civil Was
>>135942645
Tiresias best girl.

?
One of those Chinese wuxia novels would be nice. There is a Condor Heroes anime, but it looks cheap as fuck.
>>135927952
I can see it
These books were so-so but I think they'd make a pretty good manga series
>>135942942
It would take fucking forever though. That book is like three or four novels condensed into the length of one medium-length book.
>>135928175
I just started reading that.
>>135932617
This + Fall of Hyperion would be amazing. There's a reveal at the end that might be hard to keep a surprise in a visual medium, though.
>>135933813
>implying you wouldn't watch qt Jesus and the hijinks of his apostles
Cthulhu Mythos
You know you want it.
>>135934034
Ishmael X Queequeg is my OTP.
Harry Potter.
>>135937540
damn nigga
wanna see how " the sleeper awakes!" scene would play out in this
>>135927952
Shit sucks bro
By Kyoani.
>>135937540
Add in monster girl sandworms and I'm sold.
>>135946805
Spoil Endymion for me.
Hyperion I didnt enjoy much but wanted to finish it, then when the shrike was killed by magic I dropped that shit completely.
And no, I dont care if it was "but she's the mother of God because she fucked a machine" bullshit. It was fucking magic. You do not bring magic into scifi, esecially at the end. I can only suspend disbelief for so much. Fuck magic.
Stormlight Archives.
I just want to see the world animated.
Dantes Inferno by Shaft.
>>135940875
You mean Dragon Ball>
>>135947186
I've always really wanted this
>>135947692
>Dantes Inferno
Guess what anon?
>>135927814
Can just imagine how awesome anime Mat would be
Make it an Anime, Manga, TV show whatever idc Just have it directed by Madhouse since this book was a MASTERPIECE.
>>135947392
>I-I don't make spice for you or anything like that
>>135926748
The road with everyone turned into lolis.
>>135928067
>The Ministry of Jesus-kun
Would buy the BDs
>>135948082
Wasnt that western bullshit for the shity game?
Nah fuck their bastardized version.
0D best D.
>>135945508
Exactly what I was thinking.
And yes, it looks really bad.
>>135947186
Holy fucking shit, why do I always fucking imagine Rie Kugimiya voicing Hermione?
Is it because of this bitch, pic related?
>>135945760
Came to post this, its more or less perfect for an anime.
>>135945508
Aside from the big names stuff like 3 kingdoms, Journey to the West, etc.
What books would you reccomend?
China seems like an underused setting for anime, games vidya and books outside of the three kingdoms.
>>135950788
I haven't actually read any, I've just watched a couple of live action adaptations. I don't know if you're into that, but Return of the Condor Heroes 2006 is pretty good.
If you can read moon.
It's one of the most popular novel in Japan.
>>135952032
the drama destroyed my life.
>>135952032
What is it?
>>135952195
Nevermind, it sounds like Punpun 2.0
>>135952869
love story of ill fated young girl.It's based on a real event.
>>135953036

>>135953036
It's going to have rape/murder isnt it?
Well it sure has interesting characters and suspense.
Imagine Captain Blicero as a moe anime girl.
>>135954324
No, what the hell? this isn't even close to Pun Pun.
>>135926748
A Modest Proposal by Jonathan Swift
You made me realize that Foundation Series by Asimov would be a great anime.
>>135955191
animated by shaft
I want an Owari no Chronicle anime, if just to experience /a/'s reaction whenShinjou's genderbending is revealed.
James Joyce's love letters
>>135956541
needs to be a jav instead.
