The Malazan book of the fallen. There's no way something that long would happen in theaters, andI can't imagine a live action show lasting ten seasons or getting the needed budget. Thus, anime would be the thing most likely to do the series justice if somestudio lost its mind and took the gamble.

With my luck, though, Rake would get forced into a more prominent role beyond just the books he's in because he'd turn into the resident broody bishonen.

The live-action show fucking sucks. You can't make a faithful adaption without proper narration and setting that anime can do.

Harry Potter

Something Wicked This Way Comes would be really easy to fuck up but if they pulled it off would be better than most horror anime out there, while also having that comfy boyhood thing going for it.

If people bought less of shitty anime, we wouldn't be in this mess. The problem when an anime focuses solely on one niche alone is that the medium quickly stagnates.

doesn't have to specifically be anime, just animated. the series is way too big to be done well as live action unless it had a GoT type budget and even then there's too much actual magic that would require lots of CGI.

but with animation all that wouldn't matter, 24 episode seasons could easily summarise each book, if not more, there is a ton of filler and dicking around that could be chopped out and cut down.

Those novels that take place in a super futuristic society where scarcity doesn't exist; I forget what they're called, but that would make a great anime.

Lord of the Rings, just because I want to see animated orc battles and such.

Harry Potter because I want to see what Japan would do with it.

The movie ended at a weird point too. How were they supposed to start the next movie with her father's dick move? It works best as a shocker Empire-Strikes-Back-style ending.
