Dresden Files
Fables
A Song of Ice and Fire.
A franchise of Discworld adaptations by TRIGGER(because its right in line with their style).

Seconding this. Pretty much the only way we could get a full and faithful adaptation of it considering budgets needed for live action of that scope.

I'll gladly accept the weeb moniker since I have no doubt I know more about Western fantasy/literature than you do.

Good to know our local expert has figured it out for us.

Facts are verifiable claims. You have presented zero evidence and only delineated vague terms like "character design" and how the Japanese "construct dialogue" (which, unless you actually speak Japanese, makes your statement fraudulent) to make your argument sound compelling, which would only work if the audience you speak to had no brains.

None of these reason are at all factual, nor do they even come close to representing any sort of inherent weakness in transporting fantasy and science fiction into anime or manga. In fact, we have seen the effect that Western science fiction has done for anime, from Ergo Proxy to Ghost in the Shell.

Nothing suggests that an import would be egregiously executed. The Japanese already love American science fiction, anyway.

In other words, you're a fraud. :>

Among others prove that you can have commercial/critical success of adapted fantasy novels, even if the final example is a science fiction spin of a classical story.
