| I read "The Gamer" and "hero waltz" and they are really good. Can korea adapt these Manhwas into anime? I mean it would make sense they would have the budget for these, the manhwas are colored which just shows how much effort, and money they put into these. |
 |
| Both of those are webtoons or web comics (whichever you prefer to call them) which is why they are full color. Also explains why they aren't in the database here on MAL. As for them getting an anime adaptation, it won't happen. |
 |
| Korean's probably don't give two shits about anime/manwha's. |
| Is there no case that japanese company go and make them to anime with regard of the manhwa popularity? I believe it would earn a lot seeing how these days even a rubbish japanese manga able to get adapt to anime. |

| They only do movie/drama adaptions in Korea. No anime, because the country is to small to make a profit with Korean anime. The cost price is to high for a small country. |
| the gamer and tower of god are both great, but never heard them being adapted to film |
“The greatest crimes in the world are not committed by people breaking the rules but by people following the rules. It's people who follow orders that drop bombs and massacre villages.” -Bansky  |
| It isn't impossible. Noblesse got an OVA. I think there is a chance as WebToons do better there might be more of chance a few years down the line to see more animated adaptions but there is no guarantee. |
| There is no doubt in mind that if some webtoons, like Tower of God or Dice, would make incredibly popular animes. But it will never happen. First, although Korea has historically done lots of animation, it has always been things like Flintstones, Transformers, Simpsons, Family Guy, and recently, CGI. Korean animation companies lack the interest and experience to do a great-looking anime that these deserve because it will need some serious initial investment from an outside source. Second, there is a strong cultural bias in Japan for tradition (still using fax machines) and against change (recently, Korea). So webtoons probably won't become popular in Japan. Although IMHO, it's a superior format and delivery system for the current era; Official copies online, fan translations supported, full color, better release schedule, forums, phone apps, ect. Usually, animes get made if they already have a fanbase. Also, considering all the boo-ha over k-pop and k-dramas I doubt Japanese animation companies want to start messing with manhwas. I don't hope for animes of manwhas anywhere near the future. I do hope that the webtoon format becomes more popular outside of Korea. There are lots of amazing cartoonists/artists around that world that lack the publishers that the Japanese market has. Since they will never get a foot in Japan, I hope they get a chance to become popular through webtoon format. Physical media is going away but comics have a strong tradition in America as well. I just started reading "Space Boy" which won the Challenger League on webtoons and was written by an American artist. The art style, characters, and ideas in it were so refreshing and modern compared to most mangas/manhwas. Yet, maintains the addicting format and feeling of development. Webtoons need to become way bigger before they will turn into japanese-style animes. |

"Welsh (2007) states that "comics accounts for about 25 percent of all book sales in South Korea, while more than 3 million Korean users access paid online manhwa and 10 million read free webcomics."" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webtoon |
| Something already getting published in paper format such as Noblesse might have a slight chance but it won't happen for series like Tower of God sadly... |

KingRequiem said: Something already getting published in paper format such as Noblesse might have a slight chance but it won't happen for series like Tower of God sadly... that could have been the case just 1 or 2yrs ago, let alone years before. but this year marks something different. daum and line have both said they are working hard as they can to break the national wall and are now marketing overseas. i would have probably agreed with you a few months ago if i hadn't read or watched interviews. it's very safe to expect more webtoon to be seen even after noblesse, and even more safe to expect more marketing in future years. what the leaders of daum and line webtoon did is, my guess, build up enough stability of a strong industry before rushing to go overseas. webtoon has huge potential even before line or daum came out but i guess even then they didn't want to rush things. now that ten years have gone by and more than enough money has been profited, this time is perfect. especially with the fans complaining of cliched manga and anime nowadays, it's an almost too perfect setup. webtoon authors are very different storytellers from the manga group, ask anyone who has read even one, 9/10 they'll tell you that. the "wave of Korea" may come sooner than some may think. |

| @TomDay Well I sure hope that's true, there are very talented webtoons artists out here and it would be a shame were we to miss out on such potential adaptations. The biggest problem is that anime already being a niche thing except for the main TV schedule and Japan's xenophobia in general kind of prevent that. Take into account that most anime serve to advertise japanese mangas to give a boost to the industry and don't make THAT much profit, very few would be prone to invest in a foreign work. Getting published printed editions for most major webtoons would be a good start. But then again Noblesse got an OVA so there might just be some kind of possibility. Best option would probably be a Korean company investing in the project and hiring a japanese studio for the animation while focusing on the Korean demographic (using korean cast) similarly to Avatar the Last Airbender in America to test the waters. Hell I'd be willing to lend a hand to the project on Kickstarter. Edit: And comparing some Koreans to robots is actually not much of a stretch lol, these guys are machines on computer stuff. |

Korean companies have no interest in creating anime so RIP. |

| Manhwa has alot of great stories and indeed the colour is just good I waa shocked when i knew that ReLife by manhwa will be release in anime xD its kinda exiting xD |
 |
| what the problem is here is not animation of any country, and i can't stress this enough. it is marketing into other countries that needs to be done. naver and daum have already said this is the year (and future years, i'm safety assuming) they are working for this to happen. if you haven't noticed there's proof to back up my comment; the promotion of webtoon is being done right now in this very site, by lenzin comics. a few weeks to a month after the noblesse OVA was released, rai started getting featured in fan-articles (even if it was just fangirl fluff...). this is good, this is exactly what line and daum want to happen for many more articles and such to come. please understand that it's less about how good the show could/would be, and more about gaining an international audience for webtoon, and by VIA ANIME - a franchise that has an unspeakably huge audience - that can happen. think the show is bad? somone could tell you "Go read the webtoon, it's much better." there, a view gained. think the show is great? even better, continue your love by reading the series. it's not like noblesse is a bad series. just go look at people's reviews on it - it'll be extremely hard to see any bashings on. it. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13556014-noblesse ^just look at one page of that site. there are literally no bad reviews on it. it just needs more attention. it's only been 3 months since the OVA, so it's still pretty soon to declare the nonexistence of a S1 adaptation - keep in mind that there is still marketing that needs to be done. for any news of a noblesse anime at all - continued or not - i expect to be announced by the upcoming winter, the fall at least. but it's just too much of a shounen shoe-in, i must admit i cannot see an anime adaptation not ever happening. webtoon is too much of a sack of potential to just be sitting around as a national superpower. daum and line understand this and are trying to change this as soon as possible. (i apologize for the constant posting, just something i felt i had to get it out there.) |

| For a manhwa/webtoon to become an anime, it first needs to be published on book. All webmangas that get an anime go through this process as well. This is because nowadays, anime is usually made to promote the original source material. But if there is no back up money to fund the anime project (eg manga sales) , then there will not be an anime. And if an anime were to promote a free item (eg free webtoons/webmanga), that would completely be of the point. So cross your fingers for all those webtoons that already have books in print since they're the ones with the highest chance of becoming an anime. |
