What western TV show, movie, comic book, video game, or book do you think should get its own anime? For some video games I would very much like to see a Borderlands, Darksiders, Fallout, Life is Strange, The Outer Worlds, Saints Row, or Watch Dogs anime. For some book series I would very much like to see a Maximum Ride, House of Night, Gone, Lorien Legacies, Legend, Starbound, or The Illuminae Files anime. So what are your thoughts?

My desire to see an adaptation of The Edge Chronicles remains unchanged.

I was gonna say Star Trek but I'm sure they're gonna put Alex Kurtzman in it so maybe not.

Since when did the well known hard Japanese game become of Western origins?

This is never going to happen but I wish there was an anime adaptation of Neil Gaiman's Sandman.

Twin Peaks so that Audrey can officially be my anime waifu. I love her so much. I still refuse to watch The Return because I don't want to see her as a middle-aged woman.

Hahahaha just kidding - maybe Doctor Who. I think that would be cool. Anything to erase the memory of the last few seasons xD

I think Jane Austen novels would make for some nifty romance anime adaptations, especially if they put spins on the settings 📚
That might just be because I really like Clueless (Emma in Beverly Hills)

Considering they already got an anime adaptation for one of their comics, Mutafukaz, I would really like to see some other comic from Label 619 to get an anime adaptation ( or simply to get animated ).

My best choice would be something like "freaks squeele". Not their best comic but it feels like the type of thing you would see an anime or a manga in terms of aesthetics and story.

I dunno... owo. I dont read a lot of fiction anymore.. and any television shows would jus be fine with a dub. The thought of animu Larry David pains my soul. Maybe like the Principia Discordia could make a fun anime. Or something Lovecraft. The Case of Charles Dexter Ward could be spoopy.

The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson would be awesome! Tbh all of Brandon Sanderson's work is better suited for Japanese Anime than Western Animation or live-action.
The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan would be great too! It would definitely be miles better than the latest live-action tv show they have for that series for sure.

I would be interested to see a RuneScape anime, not an isekai type thing where the protagonist is a literal player and there are still level ups but I'd be interested to see an in-universe adventurer make his way through the world and experience some of the quest lines. Who actually learns from experience instead of something like levelling up, apparently that needs to be said because a lot of anime think RPG restrictions somehow improve the show.

DC's Super Sons has everything there to be a cool shonen. Unfortunately, all we got was an awkward CG film half-assedly made by Warner and a comic run that got cut short by a series of bad decisions from DC...

Pride and prejudice and zombies. It's a series where I could easily see that specific fanservice working and being just generally shlock.

CSI anime would also be really fun to watch. Not so sure how well it would sell. Anime fans don't seem to be that into crime dramas.

There is PPG anime. It took quite many liberties in writing, but Powerpuff girls Z is out there. PPG was really popular in Japan when it originally aired, so I imagine that's the reason why.

Hyperion, the novel by Dan Simmons. It literally could not be done any other way, and there's so much about it that is already of the same spirit as an anime. Get Studio Wit involved and some of the best character designers in the industry, tweak a few things, and you have something truly wild.

Snow Crash.

Liked Neuromancer? Imagine that, but on cocaine. Liked Cyberpunk 2077? Imagine that, but on cocaine going 120km/h on a 20km road and never stopping. It's the epitome of cyberpunk fiction and I'd love to see an adaptation of it.

I think anime adaptations of Western Comic book franchises could be really cool. I would love to see anime adaptations of stuff like Scott Snyder's run on Batman, Brian Michael Bendis' Ultimate Spider-Man, and Chris Claremont's legendary run of X-Men turned into anime with multiple seasons to have a more direct adaptation of the source material than the films provide, and less compressed than what DC does for their animated movie universe. These properties have had anime tie ins before so its not impossible just highly unlikely since for the most part it doesnt' seem like DC and Marvel like to make direct animated adaptations of their works in spite of the fact that it could increase comic sales like how a lot of anime does for manga and lns. Even an original anime about a character like Deadpool could be really fun since he is a character that would work really well in a more anime style of writing. Still inside of comics technically but more popular out of comics, I would love to see a new TMNT anime with its own unique creative vision and keeping up that insane smooth animation like in Rise. There is an old TMNT anime but it is like super weird and bizarre.
