>>159144861
Dune.
>>159144861
I can't name anything. I like original anime the most, not ones constrained by being based on some source material. Especially western books are generally either tryhard shit, boring nothingness or children stuff.

I don't think Dune would transfer well into an anime.
Its a great series, but its just too "weird" to have an anime made, not to mention that the visual style of anime don't mesh well with Dune's tone.
>>159144861
This in a LOTGH style.
>>159144861
>>159147090
Holy shit this would make for such an interesting anime
Let's be honest. Taming of the Shrew is about a tsundere ojousama and her sarcastic suitor. Easy adaption for a mildly enjoyable SoL anime.
>>159147668
I'd rather see The Tempest.
>>159147634
>Animated Mule
Of Mice and Men would be great and weebs would fail their exams by writing about Curley's wife calling him a baka and pervert
Animorphs would be the best form of adaptation for that series
>>159144861
The Divine Comedy
>>159147715
Oh, yeah. That's also another really good one for adaption. Comedy of Errors could also be pretty fun.
And to move to other playwrights, I imagine a lot of fun could be had in a very SZS or Dark-Lucky-Star way with Waiting for Godot.
>>159146323

It still has potential to be a good anime

Everyone would get bored after Inferno even though Purgatorio is the superior book.
>>159148096
>potential
Literally everything else has potential if done right. Stop pretending harry potter is anything special.
>>159148141
Not that anon, but even from the commercial viewpoint alone it's definitely something special. Besides, it's a fun story with somewhat imaginative world, at least more so than your average anime. What's your beef with the series anyway?
>>159147796
Ohh fuck. Where do I send all my money?

You mean Zetsuen no Tempest, the anime that actually exists?
Also, Midsummer Night's Dream for me.
>>159153104
I fucking loved this series, though I never finished it.
I want World Masterpiece Theater to come back and do adaptations of classic literature like Great Expectations, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Lord of the Rings.
Why can't we have another season of Aoi Bungaku and have more Japanese classics animated? Would love to see some of Kobo Abe's material made into anime. It's pretty much ripe for it. Especially Kangaroo Notebook.
>>159149362
Not quite horror, but The Dark Tower would be great as an anime. The rest of Stephen King's works wouldn't really transfer to screen all that well.
>>159150152
Take it and make SHAFT adapt it.
Instant money.
>>159151999
Man what a fucking good series. The movie is great too. I think with the right studio an anime would be fantastic as long as they didn't make it too japanese and kept the original form of humor.
>>159152208
Already exists and is called Gankutsuou.

The Dark Tower
Animated by guys that did Hellsing Ultimate and Drifters ofc.
>>159149268
It was really good, though
>>159150525
Sure, but Artemis is the stereotypical pretty boy.
I think Don Quixote would work well, even if it modernized the story to be about crazy otaku.

Never finished the series but I loved Remnants when I was younger. It had really cool concepts even as far as scifi goes and it's kinda shame it's never brought into serious discussion because it's aimed at children.
Just give it a VN title like 'I've been presumed dead and now have a new identity, but I still live with inhibitions!"
It'd be the fujobait of the season
>>159144861
Arsene Lupin, this is perfect for Nip taste- edgy protagonist, but not truly evil, increases his harem in a wacky way(once held by arabs in custody, but all the femarabettes felll in love upon seeing him once. He gets all smug fighting Sherlock Holmes etc etc.

>>159166158

>>159151656
Nope, no way. You couldn't animate that.
