What's something manga-related that you're disappointed will most likely never be adapted to anime? (EDIT: This does not apply to a series overall, but more a specific scene/character/story arc/etc.)

Personally, I'm bummed that "Sket Dance" didn't get a full adaptation because Switch's entire character arc is crazy.



Other examples that I can think of (although I'm not as sad about them not seeing the light of anime day) would be the wrestling match from "Real" and I've heard that "Claymore" has a huge twist that anime-onlys will never be aware of.

claymore is more it skipped something like half the chapters near the end of the anime rather than just a huge twist



but i'd say josei smut manga. Incredibly unlikely they'll ever get a good adaptation let alone an adaptation for most of them for obvious reasons (also a lot of them are quite short) which is a shame because even tho most of them are complete shite that'll make you question what kind of men women are fantasizing about, there are some absolute bangers

Most of Rosario+Vampire will never be animated, and the manga had so much more that it got into than the anime's attempt to break the record for most panty shots in a series.

I imagine most of the 'Witchcraft Works' manga will never be adapted, which is unfortunate, because the undapted volumes have so much stuff that I like.

I hear Alice Academy took a turn to be more darker in the manga, so I've always been curious since I enjoyed the anime but it probably will never get a continuation.

Is the manga available in your region? The official English translation was cancelled and the fan translation is really bad, so I have yet to read those darker parts.

I live in North America region now so the ones available to me would be the English releases.. which I didn't know cancelled.

They released it until completion back in my home country with the language I would understand but it's not available to me :(

Tokyopop went out of business halfway through the series. Those volumes they translated went out of print and nobody else picked it back up.

I'm DESPERATELY hoping that Yona of the Dawn will at least get a second season, if not more, but I feel like the chance of it happening goes down every year. It's such a shame, too: the anime really only adapts what I consider to be the "prologue" of the series and doesn't get into the real meat of the plot.

This. I'll never get over how the anime ends right after they meet Zeno, and put his backstory into a separate OVA. At this point there's enough material to make a whole 3 or 4 more seasons, probably.

In the right hands and done with enough care, I think an Oyasumi Punpun anime could be phenomenal. I guess there's technically still some hope since one of Asano's other works was recently announced to be adapted, but Punpun ended serialization in 2015, so idk how likely it is at this point.
What have you done today to deserve your eyes?

Sailor V. I would have loved to see it as a prequel anime series to Sailor Moon.

14 is never getting an anime because it's too weird and even has a scene with wrestlers raping each other on live TV.

Interesting. Because i think i read Claymore to completion but i cant think of what is meant by that twist.

Anyway: The perfect FMA adaptation consisting of the beginning of FMA 2003 and the rest being Brotherhood.
That or Parasyte during the time it actually takes place in the manga.

A Boarding School Juliet anime continuation. The manga was surprisingly really good and it's unfortunate that it will probably never be fully adapted as an anime.

Both are such a good manga. I'm hoping that they will gen new season but it's not really likely to happen

Medaka Box. The anime barely scratched the surface, but I doubt we'll ever get a continuation or reboot.

Zombiepowder. Will never see the light of day since it was never finished and Kubo had bigger fish to fry when Bleach came out.

This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes
