Depends who makes it.

WoT can only be done as an anime because Hollywood would fuck up the central theme of endless violence and super busty women, all while maintaining a weirdly lighthearted tone because the harshest words anyone says is "bloody". It's perfect for anime.

And mindbreak in general.

>one of the Seanchan's goals was to collar every Aes Sedai, known for their pride and power, and force them to become obedient pets through physical and psychological torture and general degradation but never anything that would leave a mark

Not to mention that perverted male Forsaken that got put into the body of a busty young girl and gave many late night full body massages to Egwene.

Or the fact that Aviendha, Min, and Elayne could all physically feel when one of them was riding the Dragon cock.

Man if Jordan had been a more modern writer with the obsession of making things more gritty then we'd have full on rape dungeons and Trolloc breeding raids rather than the not so subtle suggestion of what Myddraal do with captured women.

>>151932828
It's also not terrible, like most of the Mistborn books.

>>151934601

>>151934587
Where do you start and end each OVA, though?

I'll admit there's a lot of fat that could be trimmed, but with one or two exceptions they couldn't fit an entire book inside a single 45-60min OVA. Would feel too rushed.

>>151934537
Yeah but none of them have read Heroes Die, which is pretty much the best Isekai ever written.

I always felt like animation was probably the best way to capture and illustrate bonding between warders and aes sedai. I can't imagine how you could communicate a character feeling urgency from another character in a live action scenario without breaking the pacing and having them think about it or speak it alloud. Animation would allow the use of colors or non realistic visual cues that the characters are reading off of one another.

This is perfect. After all, anime is creatively bankrupt and is all about generic re-hashes of the same few stories. Only natural that it also chooses to adapt from one of the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises. Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects?all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>But at least the books are g-good though!
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King

>>151938341
>reverse rape
It's just rape, dude. Gender doesn't change that.

Reverse rape would be extremely consensual sex.

I'd like Harry Dresden if we're talking books. I mean, it's basically Shounen if you imagine Harry as a 12 year old instead of a 30 something man. It's got the whole tragic past thing. Him slowly getting stronger. A group of close friends and rivalry. Tragic brother story. Power level jerking later on.

Then there is The Iron Druid Chronicles. Which is basically a mix of shounen jerk off / harem hero fucking everyone and everything. And his side kick dog who he can talk to.

But if we're talking vidya. I'd like something like Dishonoured. Not particularly because I like the game, but because I enjoy the theme.

Les Misereables I'll agree with you on.

I can't remember the name of it, but there was this book I read years and years ago. I think it was some polish folk tale and I don't think it was ever translated officially. I've always thought that would be amazing.

It basically starts off in this bizarre fantasy where this young elf that was ex-communicated from his clan and aimlessly travels the world when years later he meets the Reaper. Only, the reaper isn't what he thought. The reaper is essentially a title past on from one person to another, and the person that holds the current title is an 8 year old elf boy who survived a war and became an orphan. Afterward he accepted the title of the reaper to get revenge but it split his personality in two taking in that much power or some shit. And so one was The Good, which was called Rabbit. And the other side was the bad, which was called Wolf. The hunter and the prey. They end up travelling together in this weird world and it basically turns into a book about healing and good feels.

I never read the last one but despite how weird it got I did actually like the Atlantis one for some reason. The one just before that with the guys who advocated hunting all species that don't serve a direct purpose to humanity to extinction was shitty over all but the villains were batshit and OTT enough to make it enjoyable.

>>151938408
Dishonoured has pretty cool lore actually. Pandyssia is basically the same place as the Dark Continent in HxH in that it's fucking huge and dwarfs every other landmass and is totally unexplored because it's full of kaiju and other monsters, but the ones that actually pose the biggest threat to humanity are the tiny ones like the plague rats or the blood flies.

Main thing that ruined Time Paradox for me was Opal being the villain. It felt pretty contrived.

Yeah I would have preferred her not being the villain every second book. It was cool in the forth one but it really stifled the potential for new characters to do shit. Maybe that's why I liked Atlantis Complex (that was what it was called right?) more. Also Colfer's not so subtle insinuation that Turnball or whatever his name was was gonna sneak in a cheeky fap in his cell at one point, that was kind of funny.

Speaking of YA series no one ever read. Fucking no one read them in English but they were pretty popular in BR land, and reasonably popular in Nippon given they're still publishing new editions over there with original artwork and everything. They wouldn't be too expensive to animate outside a select few scenes in later books and they steadily get more and more batshit and anime as they continue.

>>151944250
I couldn't get into 2 honestly, the beginning was even slower than in the first and the level design seems less intuitive despite being bigger. I'm definitely gonna try again at some point because I've heard good stuff about later levels but it just doesn't feel as good from what I played.

While it would make a great change from the typical harem anime, the fact that the only waifu acceptable to the general audience is the yandere in the sewers makes it unworkable.

Also what's the point of Rothfuss without the batty prose? Animation can do many things, but (ab)using adjectives and nouns interchangeably not so much.

I played Ghost - unseen and nonlethal so it didn't even occur to me to knock him out the first time around. Only when I couldn't figure out a way to 'save' him as had been hinted at by the Outsider I thought about that and started the level over.

Oh, I forgot Fae Trappkun. Admirably devoted, a total qt, and the only one confirmed to still be alive after shit goes down in S3 jk it'd take like 7 seasons to reach DoS, by which time it might even be less than five years from being written. But he's a dude.

>>151944836
They get less dark but far more violent as they go on surprisingly. I'm pretty sure the author said he was incredibly depressed when writing the first two which explains how grim they were. It was interesting watching how weird they got after that, each one was consecutively better written than the last but in exchange it got more violent, less grim and MUCH more bizarre. Like in the final one it turns out the earth was a fucking spaceship built by spider aliens billions of years ago and humanity is descended from a slave race they picked up somewhere along the way on their cosmic road trip and the earth is now back on course and heading away from the sun and the surface of the planet is going to freeze over. They were entertaining for the darkness and bizarreness alone honestly.

I felt like this one tried to be too edgy at times but it was enjoyable. The Desert Spear was better than the first one though since Jardir's a better character than Arlen.

>>151939973
Depends what you didn't like. The only thing I had to get used to was the disorientation due to the time jumps between chapters. Once you get used to it, it unfolds a pretty cool tale. And it's only about 300 pages, so it's not a huge investment.

I think a lot of the hate wasn't because of its popularity, but because it was still ongoing and Jordan would stall like a champ with silly side plots (bowl of the winds, shaido aiel) instead of moving the story forward. Things started moving again later on, probably once Jordan knew he was terminally ill and Sanderson then finished it in 3 books after Jordan's demise. Also didn't help that most of the womenfolk Jordan wrote were infuriating and/or petty knowitall cunts (spearheaded by Perrin's wife), which made large passages of the story a chore to read. At least the pacing issues become somewhat bearable, when you know where the finish line is.

Apparently they already made a Romeo and Juliet anime, "Romeo X Juliet" I think it was called. I didn't watch it, but apparently it was set in the future, possibly in space, and Shakespeare was in it too.

Well, sure, but aren't those usually improvised? It'd be hard to adapt something from the script of an improv production.

Agreed. The series would become a lot better if anything regarding Faile, including her existence, had been edited out. "Must save muh kidnapped Faile" is probably the worst offender when it came to bad side plots.

Is it really that bad? Is it like Denna/Sabetha tier?

Kneel before the Merchant Queen.

>>151952348
Denna is way worse than Sabetha.

Denna is literally a whore that judges Kvothe for fucking other women.

Sabetha is just unlikable for the first half of Republic, and desu Locke is a lovesick drama queen.

Uhm, what? PoA not a CYOA, it's a quest.

>>151952348
It's good.
Kinda drags in the fourth or fifth book. That being said, if you can't stand the women in the book, you'll hate it.

>>151952348
The women aren't commonly the focus but the three of them get paired up together early on and are pretty annoying.

After the third book they all split up and grow into real characters.

>>151952392
Scott Lynch's divorce totally fucked over Republic of Thieves.

Wow. We should start having more /lit/ generals.

>>151952662
It only took talking about an author's tendency to insert his fetishes into his books to get the thread going.

>>151952392
Never quite understood why people disliked Sabetha initially. I mostly assume it's because of the two books of Locke hyping her up and their relationship

>>151952727
It's like I'm back on /tg/.

>>151952314
Probably because they regularly bash each others' faces in, for being utterly annoying.

>>151952804
I mean, she has Jean beaten and throws both of them on a ship. Plus, she's pretty cold on the offset. Not to mention being a bitch in the early parts of the flashback.Plus, Lynch just has to have her mention that she's been fucking her way to the top in her literal first appearance in the current timeline.

But the biggest problem is that she's not like any of the Bastards. Every single one has been funny, charming and you instinctively like them.

Sabetha wasn't witty or charming. She wasn't funny or memorable. She didn't really have any qualities that would indicate that she deserved Locks's affection for her.

And it's made even worse that Lynch introduces Ezri in book 2, who was super likable and worked great with Jean. On a side note, not having a thread in Republic about Jean dealing with his grief was a HUGE misstep.

I actually liked that Sabetha was fairly cold to them, because a lot of fantasy stuff tends to fall into the trap of either having all criminals be the best of buddies or all utter twats without redeeming features. I quite liked the balance Lynch struck with Sabetha, making her someone who will use the emotions of those around her to her advantage when she can, but if she actually cares for them try not to leave them utterly fucked.

As for her fucking her way 'to the top', that wasn't the impression I got (or it's dimmed since I read the book). She's frank with Locke that she's used sex in the past as part of a job or for simple pleasure, but hardly that it was her MO.

Locke's affection for her certainly seemed to be overstated though, but then even previously that's been how other characters in-universe had largely reacted to them.

I agree that she was certainly less entertaining (desu, I like Nazca more than Sabetha, despite her lack of screen time), and that Lynch dropped the ball with Jean. I'm hopeful it'll be brought back. I'm hopeful it'll be brought up again in Thorn, when he's not to caught up in Locke's near-death.

The premise and plot are really good, but the japs would fuck up the execution like they always do. Plus they would run into the same problem as the books with having too many character POV's. If they made a somewhat abridged version it could go alright though. Like I said they surely fuck up the execution though.

Live action faces a serious barrier in the portrayal of a characters thoughts, as well as the magic. Anime could overcome both of those problems. If they did an adaptation of it it would certainly work best as anime.

>>151952392
I mean I'm not the biggest fan of Denna but there are far worse female characters out there. Denna is a teenage girl that thought she had this handsome, intelligent but innocent boy all to herself as a reprieve to her almost courtesan lifestyle. Then after she gets in a nasty fight with him she starts hearing songs and stories about how he fucked the most beautiful woman in existence and he starts feverishly dating every vagina within a 15 mile radius and they all spread their own stories.

She doesn't necessarily have the right to expect him to be there always for her childish enjoyment but part of being young is being selfish and holding unfair expectations for those around you. She fits her character well.

It's easy to forget that Denna and Kvothe are like 15-16 at best.

>>151954521
The series basically becomes an anime by the 5th book, might as well do the later ones too.

>>151954660
Not him (and I'm pretty sure I'm misremembering Kvothe's impressions on Denna) but it's important to note that the whole story is Kvothe's word, and its not stretch to say he's fixated on her. Its like how that one guy who fawned over his gf immediately started calling her a total bitch when they split up.

Funnily enough I would discount almost all modern fantasy and SF for being anime-y pastiches that would do horribly as actual anime.

Now old fantasy/SF would make fantastic anime.
Jack Vance's the Dying Earth and Demon Princes.
Clark Ashton Smith's Hyperborea and Zothique.
Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd & The Grey Mouser.
Robert E. Howard's Conan.
Leigh Brackett's the Sea Kings of Mars.
Zelazny's Lords of Light.
Poul Anderson's The Broken Sword.

If we're keeping it to those still alive then Gene Wolfe's Book of the New Sun would be fantastic.

>I was kind of disappointed when reading the first book , it being pretty much like some pretty basic chinese web novel , only missing the confusing long names. Does it actually get better in the second book or .... ?
No, not really it's more of the same. (and I don't hate it mind you)
I Shall Seal the Heavens holds a much higher quality than In the Name of the Wind does despite being a chinese qidian novel.

>Is it really that bad?
People who do not loathe every single Aes Sedai female character in the series have a serious case of Stockholm syndrome.

Let me put it like this.
There is a serious argument to root for the villains in Wheel of Time, PARTICULARLY when compared to the female characters.

I just reread the Neverending Story. It's so good, somehow even better than when I was a kid. I'd love to see an anime based on it. Two cours: the first focusing on Atreyu, the second on Bastian.

>>151952348
Egwene may be the most infuriating female character in written fiction. The only saving grace is after her dumbass and equally infuriating boyfriend dies and she dies soon after

Wheel of Time is 3DPD personified.
Well except that even real 3DPD at their worst aren't as bad as the average WoT woman.

Protagonist with a magic sword goes around talking about justice.
Has a tsundere waifu.

What more do you want?

I always thought Otherland by Tad Williams would make for a pretty good series. Would probably better work as live action though.

The Black Company. (excluding the suckier books)
It has a Kyon-tier main character with villain waifu(s) and a varied cast to work with even including one chuuni to mock.

At least I finished the worst book, I've been leading up to it absolutely dreading the slog, and the first half with Perrin was atrocious but it wasn't that bad. Soon as Mat started planning the breakout and Rand was in Far Madding I couldn't put it down.

Because it reads exactly like what it fucking is - a bad D&D campaign thought up by a college student.

Esselmont is twice the writer Erikson is. I'm surprised they didn't just tell him to write the main books as well and just let Erikson take a rest in a sanatorium.
