| Why would punpun being silent be an issue? Unless its implied that he talks in-between frames I don't really remember. |
| I'm sure an adaptation would do Punpun justice if he would narrate the story. It would get the same vibe as the Tatami Galaxy, where the main character just speaks to himself and thus not interact with the characters around him. Another case where this worked is in Saiki. He does not interact physically but mentally, but of course this is a different case to punpun. Overall the adaptation must not be rushed as any of these would be pointless to boot. |

| Nope. I haven't finished reading it yet but when I picture it being animated, I actually don't think it'll work out |
| It won't. But on the other hand, I feel like "Dead Dead Demon's Dededededestruction" might have the potential for it. It would be hard to do it, but in the hand of a talented director (and supervised by Asano himself or something), it could be great and actually interesting. The question with any adaptation of manga into anime should be : will it add something to it ? Is it meaningful to do so ? Of course, in reality, this question don't apply, since it's only for the money and commerical purpose 99 percent of the time. But when there is an artistic goal and pure desire behind it, it's when it become worth trying and watching (in my opinion).. I don't think music, sounds, colors, and all the cinema language would give something more/meaningful to "Oyasumi Punpun" ... but I think it could for "DDDD". So far it's the only work of Inio Asano I can picture in my mind as an anime (I even thought about a perfect episodes end credits for it, with the music and all, actually ^^) |

| Punpun wouldnt benefit from an anime adaptation. It would be random and nonsensical. |
 |
| Considering that nowadays this type of anime it's 99% impossible to be adapted for demand and restrict for their content, watch most of the situation of Punpun animated not have much impact than watching in the paper work, i want to believe in a good adaptation other than fucking CGI, but for now it's imposible. |
 |
| It'd be okay if handled right, but it most certainly wouldn't be handled right. Besides, one of the best things about Punpun is the panel transitions. |
| Punpun inner thoughts would be really hard to handle as well the whole God thing... I prefer that Oyasumi Punpun stays as a manga and as samskeyti mentioned, Punpun has one of the best (if not the best) panel transitions, which sort of makes an unique touch for the manga |
| If it's from studio Shaft and the same staff that work on Monogatari Series then Yes it's a good idea. |
 |
| I vote yes because I want to see the community squirm, given the response to Goblin Slayer's anime. Even censored this would be a beautiful wildfire to witness, regardless of if it would be adapted well or not. Tbh I think it could be done. Question is whose real-life face would be used to play as God? Or would they just color the manga face? |
| They might have to cut a lot of stuff, but a 2 hour movie would be good. |
| It would be pretty hard but if a studio can pull it off and do the manga justice it would be one of the modern classics. But i would rather have no adaptation than a bad one. |
 |
| Manga is literally praised through and through as if it were the greatest thing to grace Japan, an Anime adaption wouldn't make a difference |
| It wouldn't work unless you get a real genius as the director and even then it'd be a coin toss. Punpun utilizes the possibilities of a manga to its limits. I can't see it working in any different medium. |
Ramy_Stereo said: It wouldn't work unless you get a real genius as the director and even then it'd be a coin toss. Punpun utilizes the possibilities of a manga to its limits. I can't see it working in any different medium. I came here to say the exact same thing. As some of the others said, it could be possible with the visuals of a studio like Shaft and a talented director at the helm of the project, but even then it would really be a huge risk. Punpun plays way too heavily on the strengths of the manga medium for me to be able to see an adaptation working out very well. |

| Just use narration in key scenes. Punpun would technically be a silent protagonist. Could work. I second the KyoAni suggestion. |
| I do agree that in the hands of most studios it probably wouldn't do the material any justice. But saying that it can't be done is just greatly underestimating the power of a proper production and good directing. The manga is brilliant and I think a proper anime adaptation could be as well. Interesting topic though. |
| You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me |
| If either Shaft or Science Saru adapt it, sure. If any other studio adapts it, god no. |
| Pandora Hearts is the best manga ever made and deserves an anime reboot |
| If it gets an anime adaptation, the art style needs to be modified effectively to better suit the medium of animation. And it NEEDS a talented, creative director. |
Take care of yourself |
| Surprised it's pretty much half and half with the poll Honesty I'd say no. But if it did get an anime, it would HAVE to be animated by Shaft |
 |
| Pretty surprising to see that there's almost an equal amount of people on both sides. I thought there would be a lot more who think it's a bad idea. Personally, I don't mind an anime adaptation since I'm interested to see how they are going to adapt it. But I don't think that it would be a decent adaptation. |
| It's probably going to be pretty divisive if there was one depending on the type of tone the hypothetical directors go for |
| Seems like I'm pretty late, but if Shaft did this, I think it could work well. |
 my life was made with mematic. |
| I think it would only be a good idea if it were done extremely respectfully and faithfully to the manga. However, I doubt it would be, so it's a no from me on an adaptation. Asano Inio's artwork might also be traded for a different style in an anime, which would be a shame. As for Punpun's silence, he often talks between manga frames, so perhaps it would have a similar effect if they made the animation seem like it cuts to people's responses. Those special instances where his words and thoughts are white text over plain black could be kept as is-- just text over a black screen with no voiceover. |
| You are now breathing manually. |
| It is a different style of artwork that only works on paper, so I think that the magic would be gone in an anime adaptation. |
 |
| even if it won't turn out great, I would really want an adaption |

| Nope, the art is the only good thing about this manga |
| Oyasumi punpun as Manga lacks color, but any color pallette, no matter how dark would honestly ruin punpun. Making it black and white like in Manga would be useless. Also, there are many questionable scenes so it would not fly on TV. OVA format would be good, but to be honest, this Manga does not need anime adaptation if it's only purpose giving it recognition. |

| In order for this to succeed as an Anime Adaptation, an enormous amount of work would be needed, and obviously experienced directors. Even if it became one, unless it's a masterpiece, it would receive a huge backlash given how well appreciated the manga is. Also, I don't see how Punpun being mostly silent can work, but I'm sure given enough thought someone in the industry or even Asano himself can find a way. Theoretically it can work, but I'd prefer not to be given hope when it will most likely be an empty one. Also, I don't think Shaft adapting Oyasumi Punpun would work. In fact, I can't imagine any studio picking this up and me being confident they will make it decent. |
