None.

I don't want any popular studio like SHAFT, Kyoani, Trigger or whatever to make it because they would ruin it with shitty jokes and poorly placed fanservice.

I want to see a Dune adaptation in the style of Five Star Stories.

One major thing is getting Paul's character right. The low budget Sci-Fi series really fucked him up in my eyes by making him so rash and angry when the book had him very cold and detached in the beginning. The Lynch movie actually had a great cast and great sets, it just tried to condense the story in dumb ways and the changes to what the "weirding way" is was dumb.

The time of getting an actual good Dune anime adaptation is past though IMO. the old super detailed cel based animation style of the late 80s and early 90s would have been perfect for it, as would the format of an OVA series like LOGH or even a shorter OVA series like Arslan.

>>116116592

I love the series, my only problem with it is that all other fantasy books seem very mediocre after reading them.

A lot of good books probably couldn't survive an adaptation. Books like "Anvil of Stars" and "Blood Music" would probably be better as live-action or anime.

>>116116407
The Forever War.

Prince Aleksandar is fleeing for his life, having discovered that his parents have been assassinated and he is now a target for the Clanker Powers, a group determined to take over the globe with their mechanical machinery. When he meets Deryn Sharpe, an orphan girl who has disguised herself as a boy so she can to join the British Air Service, they form an uneasy, but necessary, alliance. But the pair will soon discover that their emerging friendship will dramatically change their lives - and the entire course of the Great World War...

I'd simply love to see that series done like Bahamut, visually. I want my animated Quick Ben and Sapper Squads blowing shit to bits.

As for novels I'd like to see done, Zelazny's stuff comes to mind. Lord of Light would make for glorious material, with an inspired director behind it. And his Amber Chronicles would work well too, Corwin's half at least.

A faithful, unabridged adaption of the Count of Monte Cristo.

Edge Chronicles, maybe? They're already halfway there anyway.

And most of Brandon Sanderson's books would be perfect as anime.

>>116116407
I'm all for it if they do at least the first 3 books.
Japan would be all over that incest.

The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th books in the Ender"s Game series.
Each should get 2 full cours.
Ender"s Game itself can either be ignored, or come as a prequel after.

I actually just bought a big compilation of Zelazny's Amber stuff. I've never read anything by him, but I've heard good things. I didn't realize that the Amber Chronicles book I bought was all 10 volumes and comes out to like 1300 pages though, going to take forever to read through all of it.

The Night's Dawn trilogy would be great but it would have to be 4 cour at the very minimum to be worth a damn.
Come to think of it I think it actually has a few more named characters than even LoGH.
The Al Capone arc at New California would be fantastic to see animated.

>>116116407
A bit off topic, I recently started with the first novel and enjoy it a lot. Which other books in the series are a good read?

The Japs tend to have a thing for LeGuin, I'm surprised more of her stuff hasn't been adapted yet.

Even though we didn't see much ground combat in the novels Steampunk and Dieselpunk mechs fighting Biopunk fabricated creatures very cool to see.

The Chronicles of Amber, though it would be difficult to pull off well

>>116117151
Live-action Dune movies will always portray Paul as too old and too tall. An anime might, maybe, probably not but it would be good to give it a try, do a half-decent job of adapting the first book. There's no way Leto II ever gets a good adaptation.

>>116117521
The Forever War is getting a live-action film soon.

Temple of the Golden Pavillion

>>116118538
This fucking novel right here is what corrupt the old Japan that later making Lolicon as normal acceptable stuff there.

>>116118410
And giving it some more thought they'd have to get the rights for The Judas Kiss and/or My Apocalypse for Dexter Quinn's theme song. They're both perfect, though I don't know how they'd handle the first satanic rape ritual scene. It's pretty brutal but actually vital to the plot.
Anyway it would probably be the most expensive anime ever made.
>>116118538
I could've fucking swore that did get an adaptation with a different name. Maybe I'm just full of shit.

Robin Hobb's Realm of the Elderlings. Feel free to skip the rain wild chronicles though.

Martian chronicles done as a robot carnival like short compilation with each segment from a different classic animation house. Would be awsome, even the inevitable kyoani section.

Nah, it'd be pretty bad. Erikson's books are a perfect example of a story that's good only on pages. Put it to the screen and it becomes (more of a) snorefest. Sanderson's books might work though.

I wouldn't recommend reading anything past the first book (the original Dune). If you do read the sequels, stick to the ones written by Frank Herbert, and not the ones written by his son

The Road, with script by Urobuchi

just kidding, it'll probably be terrible

>>116118390
I know the compilation you're talking about. At first it seems overwhelming, but his style is easy to get into and you'll burn through it in no time. A real shame Zelazny died before he could finish the whole epic. The 2 main story arcs that we got are pretty self contained, but there was more to come from what I've read.

So /a/ is mostly reading cheap fantasy novels?
Can't say I'm surprised.

>>116118791
You're an idiot. The Fremen are savages, that's the whole fucking point. Paul fails in the end because he can't keep them from chimping out, he dies shortly after becoming Emperor, Jessica is one of the most competent individuals in the book. Paul's own son ends up accomplishing what Paul feared most.

>>116118312
I think Ender's Game/Shadow would work better as anime but I'd love to see Jane animated.

>>116118524
Yeah, having a child actor who isn't cringeworthy is very hard, especially for a role like Paul. Still, they didn't need to make him so whiny in the Sci-Fi miniseries. I like Kyle MacLachlan a lot so I didn't mind him as Paul at all.

Not a novel, but I think this would make a fantastic anime adaptation.

I'm open to discussion on whether or not I should pick Dune back up. I get there's a reason why so many people like it, I'm just having a hard time seeing it. I also can appreciate that the world is probably great once you get into it, but I can't get over the way characters interactions are so forced and over the top. It just feels awkward and unnatural (again, at least for the first 1/4 of the first book.)

>>116119401

Dune is incredible. Absolutely incredible. But if you don't like completely ridiculous cheesy sci-fi don't read it. It really does get almost pulp. However, the sheer scale of the story and the universe portrayed, all of the different characters and motivations and factions - it is an extremely well put together and somehow convincing universe. Not to mention it works as a cheesy pulp space opera, or if you want to be pretentious, look at it as some sort of commentary on the environment and not only humanity's impact on it but the environment's impact on people. I could go on. It is great.

The first book, that is. I love most of the preceding books actually written by Frank Herbert but they get even more absurd and I can't really begin to imagine any deeper meaning in them. Still love them, though.

Not as an anime, but I'd fucking love to see Suzuki Nakaba do a manga adaption of The 3 Musketeers and The Man In The Iron Mask in his current style from NnT. D'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, Aramis, moe Claudette, Richelieu looking like old Helbram and all of this in his over the top style. It would be such a perfect fit.

A lot of people here harp on LNs, but cheap fantasy is the same kind of shit.
Which I don't mind, by the way.

>>116119605
Thanks for the detailed response. Maybe I'll try picking it up again once I'm through my book list and see if I'm able to get into it more the second time around. I don't mind cheesy really, in fact, knowing that might make me able to bear how some of the characters act if I go into it knowing that's a thing.

>>116119543
Sure I can. It was the first and remains one of the best science fiction books centered around ecology. The pacing of the book is good, Herbert does an excellent job of bringing the society of the Fremen, Dune overall, and the power struggle between the Emperor, the Landsraad, the Spacing Guild, and the Bene Gesserit (and later the Tleilax) to life. The characters aren't all archetypes (or at least they weren't when they were written), and the ones that were archetypes, such as Paul, didn't magically change from young adults into superhero God Emperors overnight. The future universe being devoid of AI and instead reliant on human brains was also unique.

Sure, Paul Atreides is a Mary Sue, what with his ability to access all of his ancestral memories instead of just the female ones, but I'm not going to hold that against the author because Paul lived miserably and died horribly.
>>116118874
Again, I can forgive the author because Leto II's life was boring, miserable, and he refused to save himself from death.
>>116118922
>Savages
They are a group of people that lived in the wilds of a death-world for millennia and they were marginalized by every planetary ruler they had until the most recent one turned out to be their prophesied savior. They aren't savages, but trying to prevent a group like that from conquering after millennia of oppression would be fucking impossible. And Paul didn't fear the rule of the golden tyrant coming to pass, he feared BECOMING the golden tyrant because it would mean misery and boredom for thousands of years. He viewed it as a fate worse than death, but a role that was likely necessary for the survival of the human race.

No, Paul definitely feared the golden tyrant coming to pass. He was too worried about oppressing humanity and didn't want the entire species to suffer in order to insure it's survival. That's why Paul's ultimately a failure and his son is the God Emperor the universe needed, not the one it deserved.

I don't have the book anymore since I was borrowing so I can't really write a direct quote. But what bugged me was that anytime Paul was talking with people in the first few chapters, there was just way way way too much internal monologue. And you see every bodies internal monologues at once which gets tedious. But the main problem I had, was that every single thing the characters though was incredibly exaggerated. Paul would say "Oi, that's a fukin box ya gab!" and someone would spend a whole paragraph detailing how their mind was so fucking blown by the fact that this boy was so incredibly intelligent that he had made such an amazing statement.

This of course, would be fine if he actually was making profound statements, or at least making them infrequently. But it was constant. Got really fucking tiring and annoying reading about people falling out of their chairs because someone made a basic observation.

Oh, and there was another chapter where the stereotypical monstrously fat fuck bad guy was describing his evil plan, and that scene had the same problem, which excessive, overly exaggerated internal monologue coming from every character in the room.


I dunno, I didn't dig it for those reasons, but I might have gone into it expecting the wrong thing.

That's not the first fourth of the book, that's the first twenty pages or so. But since I have the book right here, I checked and the first time anyone is surprised by Paul's observations is on page 10, by which time he's already made at least two if not three stupid comments that were ridiculed. He then gets credited with another brilliant observation on page 12, but if you keep reading the series it becomes clear that observation is not entirely accurate. So two instances where Paul makes people think he's a genius, one of which he isn't actually right. And they are pretty sharp observations for him to be making.

You need everyone's internal monologue otherwise you'd have no clue why they were saying what they were saying. I'd rather read people's internal monologues than have unnecessary speech by characters that had no reason to say anything.

If by page 186 you still hate it, you probably won't like it.

Odyssey sort of already exists, Ulysses 31, The Odyssey in space by TMS.

>The 31st century. Ulysses is the Captain of the spaceship Odysseus, directed by the central computer Shyrka. As a a gift for his son's Telemaque's 12th birthday, Ulysses takes him on a space journey for the first time. Telemaque is kidnapped by aliens who need a child sacrifice to their god - a giant cyclope, who is discovered to be a machine, of which the aliens, of course, are not aware. Ulysses saves his son, along with a little girl, Themis, and her older brother. As a punishment for such an intervention, the Great Gods of the mysterious Olympus punish him, freezing all Ulysses's staff, leaving him alone on the ship with Telemaque and Themis. The way back to Earth is erased from Shyrka's memory. Now Ulysses has to find the Kingdom of Hades in order to discover the way home. Ulysses's journey and adventures are parallelled to those of his ancestor, the Ancient Greek Ulysses, though "translated" into the Outer Space. The question of who actually the Olympus Gods are is raised.

Alright, like I mentioned earlier, when I'm done my other books I'll try it again, but can you sort of see what I mean when I say that everyone seems to boost their reactions to things? I was using Paul's observations as an example, but I feel like it's pretty consistent throughout the chapters that I read.

I am not trying to be a dick, but you have literally read next to nothing. The scale of the book is absolutely massive, you haven't seen anything yet, it hasn't even started moving at that point. It is a space opera among space operas. You need all the internal monologues because with all of the massive scale and the political intrigue and whatnot.

Really in terms of anime adaptations, the novels I can think of that have solid adaptations are things like Treasure Island, Heidi, Little Women, Anne of Green Gables, Daddy-Long-Legs, Sans Famille, Les Miserables, A Dog of Flanders, Count of Montecristo, A Country Doctor.

I want to see some fantasy stuff. 40k is great and all, but I don't see it doing well animated. Everything is on too grand a scale, too gory, and too scawwy for the limp-dicked otakus in Japan. No cute girls = no sales. Fantasy has lots of smaller and one-on-one interactions, and is frankly a lot more humerus. I would say Skarsnik but that's just because goblins give me a hard-on.

Hahaha no. Japanese people don't even give a shit about Murakami except because of the fact that some guy who writes a bunch of bad novels is somehow really popular overseas.

Metro 2033 would be decent

Metro 2034 on the other hand...

The Stranger and The Plague.

That's true, I was only thinking about it being an airing series. If it went straight to disk and was made immediately available in the west it would sell like hotcakes. People have been clamoring for a film for some time now. And no, ultramarines doesn't fucking count.

>>116118012
In a world of unlimited budgets and talent, maybe.

The last one is really brilliant, personally one of my favorite pieces of animation, was nominated for an Academy Award which is rare for a Japanese animation.

There is a nice compilation of his shorts up on bakabt just search koji yamamura film works. A lot of it is experimental and oblique. Bavel no Hon and Atama Yama are quite enjoyable though even if you aren't particularly into artsy experimentation.

My dark-skinned sibling. I'd ask that you have my children, except that we're on /a/ and therefore even the little girlies have horsecocks.

To OP, in no particular order, I think these would be worth an anime adaptation:

Banks: Walking on Glass / The Bridge
PKD: Man in the high castle / Flow my tears
Olaf Stapledon: Last + first men
Wouldn't mind seeing some Mieville adapted, but I'm a neophyte at his stuff.

Oh, and to the guy who suggested Moorcock - fuck me that sounds glorious. Dancers at the end of time or GTFO.

Pretty sure that means "never going to happen."

What would make a really awesome show, I think, would be the comics. Younger characters would make the story more appealing.

The first game roughly follows the main story line of 2033, though large sections are completely different (Bourbon, the Library etc)

2034 has nothing to do with last light, or Atyom. Metro 2035 will cover the events of last light and hopefully reveal the which ending is canonical.

>>116116407
i think dune would be awesome animated i agree with you

a lot of the story is in people's heads and memories perfect medium for it

a lot of the common tropes like "omg a hidden power awakens" is like perfect for it anyway

I never finished that series because my library only had half the books. She wrote another series about humans leaving earth, but I can't remember it for the life of me.

>>116119931
semi related to what you posted but is there an anime similar to The Princess Bride? Basically something in a similar setting that's lighthearted, has a nice romance element, doesn't take itself too seriously, and has a good end. Oh yeah and if the anime is actually good that would be great.

The Runelords
I read this right before the 4th book came out.
I think I read a couple of the later ones and I'm not sure how I feel about them.
Up until the 4th though I was obsessed.

It would be nice seeing wizard batman in action.

>>116122745
Yeah, that's the one. I read the first book because I won it at a bookfair. Was a decent story, if I remember.

Another good story that should have something done with it is A Long Way from Chicago. Loved the shit out of that story.

Not my favorite series, but I think they would fit anime really well. No real female love interest though, it's all bromance.

What a shit idea. Why would you want this animated? What would it gain at all? It's practically the "it can't be THAT" of books, anime would belabor the point a million times over.

Can I pick a graphic novel instead of a normal novel?

Jodorowsky was supposed to direct Dune in the 70s. His dark sci-fi Metabaron series would be the next best thing to turn into an anime.

>>116123183
But on the other hand you shouldn't judge a book by its cover

Oh man, that would be incredible.
Shinbo would do it right.

Jerry Garcia actually held the film rights to it before he died.
That would have been fucking incredible too if it'd happened.
I wonder who has them now.

Would The Mistborn series work as an anime? I am almost done with the first book and can definitely see portions of it doing well animated especially the way they use the metals and such that reminds me of nen from Hunter x Hunter.

Nigga, why would Japs put Western things into their anime?

Western folks would hate it because they'd see the most badass character turned into a little girl.

Japanese won't like it because it won't have enough little girls.

>>116118012

Could work, though they'd have to rewrite the parts where characters were supposed to be funny or witty and replace them with actually funny or witty dialogue. I like Sanderson's stuff, but this is a big weakness of his.

I like LoTR but delude yourself into thinking that Tolkien was some master writer. His fluff is often criticized.

We need more dystopian stuff in manga/anime. Kind of like Freesia.

Endymion would be a more suitable though, although you have to go thru Hyperion Cantos first. Rhadamanth Nemes vs Shrike would be so cash.
