What Visual Novel do you think would make a great Anime Adaptation? For me it would be Ever17 as an Anime series for each route, or maybe an OVA series.

That's a spin off that isn't nearly as good as MLA.

I think Grisaia no Kajitsu has the potential to be the greatest harem anime of all time, if done right. The girls are all amazing, and the main character is a badass which is the perfect combination.

There's an adaptation coming, but I fear it won't live up to the VN.

G-senjou biggest twist relies on narrative trick, so I don't think it would make a good anime though

A part of me really wants to say Saya no Uta, but then the other one jumps in and makes it realise it wouldn't be nearly as good in anime form.

If you mean comics, then this is my top 5:

1- Battle for the cowl ( DC comics ).

2- Maximum Carnegie ( Marvel comics ).

3- The court of Owls ( DC comics ).

4- Sonic the hedgehog ( Archie ).

5- Secret Invasion ( Marvel comics ).

Most VN suck really hard in writing and are just fanservice/school romance drama whatever.

But I recently played (not finished yet) Sekien no Inganock which is really good in terms of world building, lore and characters.

It would make a nice gothic horror steam punk anime, as long as it is handled by the right studio with care.

I want Majikoi to be remaked. The anime really miss the friendship between Kazama family, their rivality with class S and the awesomeness of Miyako. Majikoi S would be good too with Benkei, Tsubame and Kuki servant running around make it more interesting.

Anyway HoshiMemo would make a good SoL but I doubt it can live up to the VN. Maybe My Girlfriend is the President would make a good comedy anime.
Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together.

I don't really believe that. There's a lot of plot holes in Rewrite. I loved the VN, but as I was playing it, I asked myself "Would this really make a good anime?" and I can't bring myself to think so. I mean, just look what happened to Little Busters.

Kara no Shoujo, this time not a hentai. Can't believe they even allowed that to be made. There's only like 5 sex scenes in the enterity of the VN, it's all about the mystery in this one.

They should try making a serious anime out of it. It could work, kind of like Monster.

Would be awesome if they had the funds to do it justice... but tbh, they need to do Extra first otherwise some of the most powerful parts of the entire thing make no sense at all.

Ultimately, I think if I had the choice between it getting an anime and it not getting an anime I would choose to stay without one. I just dont think it can be done well.

G-Senjou and SnK would be really cool, and easier to do than MLA but still REALLY hard to do.

G-Senjou would be the best choice from the three imo though. Doable and amazing as well.

Sharin Kuni. If done right, the plot twist would be even more shocking than in the VN. Also 428 but only because I have no way of playing it.
Umineko and Higurashi could in theory be adapted easily as they are linear but they managed to mess it up anyway.
Tsukihime is probably the best adaption I watched. I'm completely serious.

I feel like Swan Song would make an amazing anime too. The best thing about the VN is the atmosphere and it would be even better if it was animated. They MIGHT have to cut out the necrophilia tho.

Cross Channel would have potential to be as great as Steins;Gate (or better) if they did it correctly and never went towards fan service or H-Scenes.

Considering how awesome the VN was, it really should have been better. The first few episodes of the show were really great. Then they just force everything out in such a stupid and forced way it really ruined all the mystery and suspense they had built. The Novel deserved better.

I haven't watched the C;H anime but I'm pretty sure 12 episodes is not enough to adapt it decently.

A shit adaptation indeed. A very long visual novel with a touching main story line deserves a better adaptation than this. No creativity whatsoever, just a bunch of perverted humor with zero backstory on any of the main characters. Also, very low budget for something that came out in 2011; the action scenes in the anime were so bad.

Monster Girl Quest. The writing is already there, all it needs are better quality visuals (and I mean way better than the shite that was shown in the VN) and a creative transition from quasi-RPG "battles" to linear story line. Could make a few great OVA episodes if nothing else.

You can't adapt E17...

Well anyways, MLA might be a bit hard but it should be doable. Aiyoku no Eustia would work fantastically, Umineko needs a fuckload of episodes but otherwise it'd work, Sharin... would need some clever camera work but I think it can be done. Cross Channel would be really cool to see and would work just fine. Inganock by Shaft would result in eyegasms, and also if somehow Saya no Uta would even be allowed to air it'd be amazing :P

i've only read/played (what is the correct verb here?) a grand total of two VNs: Tsukihime (which I didn't like) and Narcissu (which made me cry weak little girl tears). The latter I would probably like as an anime. The former, I dunno.

Coco's route utilizes virtually everything unique to visual novels for it's insane narrative plot twists, and no matter how you'd do it there is no way you could do it properly as an anime. I mean of course you could make some anime-only version but that seems a bit meaningless to me.
