I think Madhouse would do a fantastic job at Liar Game, because they already produced One Outs. But I fully accepted that this won't happen.

(liar game is my Second favorite manga, but black jack has so many adaptations that i dont need another. unless studios want to)

Madhouse for gore or fight related shows.
KyoAni for slice of life, cute or romance based series.
Sunrise for mecha, robot based shows.
A-1 Pictures for whatever I can't seem to fit into a genre.
Studio Shaft for shows that involve extreme dramatic head tilting.

I don't want an adaptation for any of mine. YKK, Nausicaa, and Umineko all have garbage adaptations, and I'd rather not risk any of their names being dragged through the mud any more than they already have. Tbh, I wouldn't trust any studio out there with attempting to tackle these monoliths.

Kingdom and Berserk by Wit Studio

Act-Age by Kyoto Animation

One piece by ufotable or Bones rather than Toei

Hakomari by Shaft because I don't see any other studio pulling it off.

WIT studio, definitely.

It was a debate wheather we could ever get a nice adaptation of historical mangas like berserk, kingdom or Vinland Saga
,WIT definitely made the "very good" adaptation of two manga, Vinland Saga and Attack on Titan.

Doga kobo is honestly such an overlooked studio for how well they make their stuff, maybe it cause they focus on slice of life rather than action like bones or ufotable, glad it's getting attention

I would like to see 20th century boys done by madhouse I know people say that madhouse is not that good nowadays but I still think they are the only one you can adapt this manga perfectly

Also Berserk done by either Wit studio or ufotable but if I have to choose one I would say definitely Wit looking at their adaptation of Vinland saga and how they focus on character moments instead of hype fight scenes I think they can nail it. And I don't know if Bones could adapt Berserk too I mean just becuz bones is good at making fight scenes and battle shounen doesn't mean they could adapt Berserk becuz it's not just good fight what makes it great it's character Dynamics which makes it great and judging by what Bones did with my hero this season( focus all the money on just one hype fight scene) i don't think they can do it so definitely Wit

Depends on the manga. Doga Kobo would be my go to for cutesy manga, but for something more serious I'd want someone else. Production IG might be the best choice for Bitter Virgin since they tend to do a good job at drama anime. Comic Studio I think would be best handled by JC Staff since they do a good job at balancing cute, ecchi, and story.

I wouldn't actually want my favorite manga (20th Century Boys) to get an anime because the pacing gets kinda weird when a long-ish thriller manga becomes an anime, but I'd love an anime for my second favorite, Vagabond. Normally I'd pick Bones over any studio, but because the action in Vagabond is a lot less active and can be over pretty quickly, I'd give it to Madhouse just because I feel they'd be able to preserve the artstyle the best. If not Madhouse, then maybe MAPPA, they seem completely willing to experiment.

Or KyoAni for shits and giggles. I want a Vagabond anime that looks like K-On, that'd fucking kill me.

My favorite mangas have adaptions already, usually not that good ones, so it would be readaption. Bit like Fruits Basket I guess :d

Kekkaishi was adapted by Sunrise, I'm not 100% happy with art style and direction they used for it. It'd be bit long series, Sunrise adaption was 52 episodes and only adapted 1/3. Ufotable would do sth great with it, but they don't usually pick that long of series. I'd probably go with Bones, they are usually really faithful to mood and style of the original, just elevating it. They'd probably do multiple seasons of it.

Trinity Blood. The anime adaption is based on light novel instead of manga and actually the manga has almost entirely different story and progression than the anime. So i'd like to see anime adaption of the manga. I'm not entirely sure who I want to make it, I think it's something Madhouse might pick, but Madhouse is so damn inconsistent with quality. Maybe i'd pick Mappa over them.

all i want is for brains base to make more seasons of Baccano!, there's SOO much material from the LN to adapt and they only did 3 novels in 2007 and nothing else :( I loved the way they adapted the content & how they paced them in a really unique and interesting way, the animation (especially the gore) i feel they did really well and the music was top notch, i know it'll never happen though caus its been well over a decade so i guess ill just stick to the novels.

I want an Oyasumi Punpun adaption by Trigger, they're the only ones who can make it as trippy as the manga except Gainax.
But they already passed their days of glory imo so I don't count them.


I feel like shaft would handle that better. Trigger doesn’t really do dark and realistic things that much

Hmm I'm not sure if my favourite studio could handle a hardcore ecchi show like Oretama. I sure would like to see something like that done by KyoAni, but I can't imagine yet how it would look.

If J.C.Staff could reach Prison School quality I'd probably give it to them. Else Lerche seems like a good choice or Madhouse if they go for a HotD style.

I feel like bones would be perfect for one piece, especially if they make it seasonal like most new shounen adaptations, I would love to see it get the same treatment mob psycho 100 and my hero academia are getting now (the type of treatment most manga artists could only dream of)

None. Most of the time its more or less the director that makes the show, not the studio (its a part tho).

Oyasumi Punpun and any other Asano work is pretty unadaptable, maybe if you revive Isao Takahata and give him combined manpower of a couple Studios. But even then, Asanos works are way to good at using the advantages of Manga to be adaptable.
Some think Shaft could, i disagree given that they never really adapted any manga with more realistically drawn characters and backgrounds.

Maybe Ufotable for Berserk since they are pretty good with dat CGI.

A full Nausicaä adaptation by Ghibli.

I the end i hope that no studio touches them, better no adaptation than a adaptation that is below the manga in terms of quality and that is to 99% the case.

Studio WiT for Battle Royale. Directed by Tetsuro Araki and score by Sawano. In other words, Attack on Titan treatment.

I don't care who does it. I just want a half way decent kingdom adaptation. Hopefully the live action movie will be good. We all agree the Berserk will never get adapted again but kingdom never even got a chance. Berserk at least got one arc properly done but kingdom started as a CGI nightmare.

I think Madhouse makes the adaptations and I'm sure other people think so too. So, yeah, Madhouse is my pick.

I wish 10 or so studios would get together, all pick 1 manga, and each studio would compete to see who can make the best adaptation. Then you can watch all 10 adaptations and really get a feel for how different each studio made the anime.

Ureshon by Shaft

Bishoujo Vampire ni Bonyuu Drink Bar ni Sareru Hanashi by Keizou Kusakawa with any studio, something similar to Happy Sugar Life would be perfect for this.
