"I would like to watch an anime about ____, but there isn't a single one that exists!", is a line I seem to be repeating in my head a lot lately, so how about you? Is there any kind of story that you would like to see as an anime that doesn't even exist yet? Do you think such a premise would actually work as a full anime or would it probably turn out to be terrible in execution?

Like how about a sports anime that deals with the "dark side of sports"?
Covering issues like drug abuse, high pressure, enviromental problems, corruption or "betting addiction" (don't know the actual term) would be highly intersting to me as a sportsman. Lance Armstrong: The Anime?

I think it could be cool to have anime with some familiar stories from the Greek Mythology. We can find the gods (also of other mythologies) here and there, but they just take something they made up.

What else?

I guess "behind the scenes" anime exist... So, no...

Ummm... maybe see the process someone goes through as he huild up self courage. I know It mentioned, but it's not the focus. Not as much as I know. In general, it's important to have animes about different people in order for us to see how it's look on the outside. Blind, deaf. without arm or leg and so on.

(Sorry if the things I mentioned to exist.)

A super generic magic highschool battle harem .

That would be great tbh. We will then see him in yandere mode.

That's actually a brilliant idea m8.

I've always wanted to watch an anime on skateboarding or at least skating but apparently such a culture doesn't exist in Japan.
I'd like to watch an anime based on Jet Set Radio but too bad SEGA is dead..

How about an anime about a plane hijack? Similar to the one in Baccano.
That'd be pretty interesting..

A regular harem with a gay protagonist. That would have the potential to be hilarious. The only thing like that I've found was a 10-page one-shot manga.

I recently made a post about mother and son rol reversal, like in the first episode the son dies instead of the mother, and the mother is the main character and has to live with that pain but eventually she will get stronger not physically but emotionally leading to a great character development and so on. I would like to see that

My idea: sports anime with girls, that are not ecchi. There may be some but I'm too lazy to find any.

I hate to say this but....I think it's time for anime to start ripping off Hollywood.

I'd like to see anime ripoffs of Star Wars, Harry Potter, and the Matrix to start off with.

We have three different and very reliable genres here....Space adventure, magical adventure, and sci-fi thriller.

Obviously you can mix it up a bit and add that wonderful anime-esque sauce.

For example, an anime Star Wars could be the following:

Makoto was an average 20 year old from a distant planet in a galaxy not so far away, he never wanted trouble until one day the ruthless galactic overlords landed in his planet and his life was turned upside down, along with his childhood friend (a girl) they start causing mayhem...Unbeknownst to our young hero he is more than just a regular human...and so on...


Cmon Japan...get it done!

Actual yuri/yaoi harem would be nice (even if I'm not a yaoi fan). Game characters trapped in the real world would also be really funny if executed properly.

Also, it's not a whole concept by itself, but I wish there was an anime where the main character is a fat girl. (Not the typical ugly look most fat characters are given; more or a less a somewhat cute look) There are a few manga like this, but none of them have even been announced to be adapted into anime.

It's pretty much a breakdown/parody of the high school genre. I just wanted to get my idea out there so go ahead and say what you will about it. Feedback is always appreciated.

TL;DR:



This would be cool.
There are other ideas I saw or came up with but I'm too tired to list them.

I'll be happy with an anime adaptation of Eden: It's an Endless World! or Dorohedoro more than anything else, really.
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

I don't see them benefiting much from being animated. Most great manga work better in that medium in my personal experience.

That's a statement that holds very true, but there is a bit of me that wants me to be specifically catered to. You know, we're all a bit self-serving and self-important at the end of the day. I also would dream that if it were to ever happen, they wouldn't be butchered in adaptation through heavy censorship or bits and pieces of the story being left out. Not only that, but the fact that what makes those series great as manga is the impeccable art that is detailed in them. One might argue that Dorohedoro does not particularly have great art, but it certainly is unique and adds to the gritty tone and atmosphere of the manga.

Either way, I would just like to see something be adapted that I love. Something that might attract more viewers into the world of manga in the search for more of these gritty series that are left without adaptations in the medium known as anime. The manga discussion board and chapter specific threads of most seinen series are quite barren on this site. Even batoto lacks discussion for series with English publications.

What I'm saying, ultimately, is that I'm lonely in the terms of manga discussion. You didn't even talk to me about Sakuranbo Syndrome when it ended, you tsundere baka.
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

I don't no about you guys, but some western fantasy books really have a well crafted story and world well detailed. It always was a dream for me to get things like that animated like really closely and that with some serious talented people working on it. Like really want it to make a master piece no mater the cost or time it takes. That would turn out to be like the best anime series evar. For example i like to see a serious anime adaption form the wheel of time or the king killer chronicles. I don't know if anyone has read those? But a man can dream.

We need more deconstructions or subversions. AgK had some interesting subversive elements but on the other hand so many problems.

So a deconstruction of battle shonen would be a priority. It doesn't have to be very long 24 eps would be enough.

I am not sure if it should start as a normal shonen like madoka magica does, to emphasise the shock or start immediately like NGE.
