| I recently re-read Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, and I realized just how much I'd love to see the characters get animated. Or, Good Omens, the collaborative effort between Terry Prachett and Neil Gaiman. It'd work. (Especially because Aziraphale = Fai and Crowley = Kurogane. Srsly.) So, what are some novels you'd like to see adapted into an anime? |

| 1984 would make a rather interesting anime, what with the cyberpunk, forbidden love, totalitarian government and all. |

| I would say twilight but it's already been done. but they switched the name to "vampire knight" D: |
| The Bible. Especially the scene where Jesus |
 |
| The Outsiders |
| My highschool textbooks |
| I need money to buy ship slots in KanColle. |
| The Little Prince? seriously, its an epic. |
 |
| Lolita. |

| Most of Franz Kafka books would make some pretty groovy animes, some stuff from Arthur C. Clarke like Childhood's End and The Sentinel might be interesting but they would probably look better as movies. |
| Lord of the Flies, and if someone could pull it off A Clockwork Orange. Maybe even Maximum Ride. :| |
| Seconding A Clockwork Orange. I'm si~nging in the rain~ Just si~nging in the rain~ |

| I'd like to see some of the better fantasy series that are just too long for movies, such as the Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind or the Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. Shorter series would be good too, Riftwar by Feist or particularly the Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks, that has incredible fighting in it already, it'd make a fantastic anime. For a good mind-fuck anime, why not Hyperion, those books were pretty wild. |

A bit of updating (because cyberpunk 1984 would be that much cooler) and that would be awesome. 1984 was already cyberpunk, what with the ever-present two-way viewscreens, eavesdropping bugs, etc. It wouldn't be much of a stretch to apply the same concept to computers and the internet. I also vote for A Clockworld Orange, that would be quite epic. |

| Didn't we had a thread like this just a while ago? Dante's Divine Comedy Os Lusíadas (and futuristic, plz) Saramago's books Rushdie's books (well, why not? :3) Watership Down (moe-moe anthropomorphism) Marquez books Crime and Punishment (and the sexiest psychopat of the Russian literature) etc. etc. I think pretty much all Western books, even when they are crappy, would do awesome anime. Much more awesome than things taken from their idiot Light Novels. But I guess animators and directors are just as ignorant. |

| Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. It's got alot that would be interesting to see as anime. Comic misunderstandings and misidentification, It's a slightly dark romantic comedy, a character who has to crossdress for a good reason,A subplot of revenge, etc. Lois Lowry's The Giver Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 H.P. Lovecraft's At the Mountain of Madness, Call of Cthulhu, etc. The Princess Bride |

| Dante's Divine Comedy and Neuromancer. |
| Harry Potter anime :D Well you never know, it could be great |
| The Books of Pellinor. If they did it right it could be a pretty epic fantasy series. |

| The Discworld books. |

danoboy said: Carrie by Stephen King :) I'd like to see this, but i'm afraid Elfen Lied fans might shoot it down for lardacious comparisons. |
| The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradleyr! Or maybe Sevenwaters Trilogy by Juliet Marillier. |

| Hmm there's a bunch of them I would to see. But two of them are getting turned into Anime. Can't wait to wait them when they come out. |
| The back of the shampoo bottle |
| the pendragon series would do well i tihnk |

| Flesh and Spirit by Carol Berg and The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks |
 |
| Some of Matthew Reilly's books...especially Contest. That would be amazing if done right. |
| The Icemark Chronicles by Stuart Hill. There is a DINOSAUR CAVALRY. Too bad it's got a movie license already. It's gonna suck. :/ |

| Click on this. I dare you. | MAL Fantasy Football League | Currently Watching List RWBY Club. RWBY is anime. Deal with it. |
| Alice in Wonderland Or for something a little stranger, a take on the Christian Bible could prove interesting, especially if done with a more overt Gnostic-type look at the fall of man. Actually, adaptions of most any mythological sources could prove interesting, now that I think about it. |
