Probably mentioned already, but I would love something set in ancient Rome done in the vein of Spartacus: Blood and Sand, or Gladiator.

Adventure Time.
I think it'd be amazing as an anime.
Just make sure it doesn't turn into a "Powerpuff Girls Z"

I think Dead Space Aftermath is so good as anime. In fact I thought it was anime when I saw it for the first time. Well done.

For the longest time I actually thought Avatar was originally in Japanese with decent English dub...

I think Danny Phantom could make a cool anime. I really like the concept of it all, but since it was made by the guy that did Fairly Oddparents, it tried to live off of lame jokes every episode. If it was written well, I could see it being entertaining (and honestly the Japanese do action-based animated shows better)

Regular Show - It's ANYTHING but. This is one of my favorite cartoons as it is very random by turning mundane events into pure awesomeness!

I really don't like the idea of Avatar turned into an anime. It's already influenced highly by the anime art style so I don't see the point unless you want to see more common anime tropes included in the series. I think that would water down the product quite a bit though.

Adventure Time and WWE sound fun though, id be all for that.

Props to mods for showing this thread.

Jackie Chan Adventures and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic would work as anime. The former has all the moon speak and mysticism to create a fantasy anime already. And FiM is harem anime material:

Our main character (Twilight Sparkle) is a transfer student who moves into a new town with an athlete (Rainbow Dash), a genki (Pinkie Pie), an oujo (Rarity), an Osakan (Applejack), and a shrinking violet (Fluttershy). She's got a wingman who's the butt monkey of many jokes (Spike). Only with her girls has she become uber powerful. Oh and she has a rival she crosses path with occasionally (Trixie).

My friend said that it was more of a joke made to Americans for Americans, but I don't need the culture to laugh insanely hard at that show.

Also, Anime-like graphics.

Yeah - I'm watching Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom...and while watching it thought...hell they should just make a Nikita anime. Might be nostalgia glasses but was reminded that I actually used to quite like that show (the late Peta Wilson phase; haven't seen the Maggie Q incarnation).

Phantom, while obviously different, channels both the La Femme Nikita movie and TV show's vibes a lot (well at least in the beginning eps that I've seen).

Knowing anime, I'm expecting lots of ecchi will happens in this adaptation.
Perhaps they will add in some mahou shoujo transformation style too.

Breaking Bad I think that would be great as an anime, it would have a seinen feel to it for sure.

I don't think many cartoons would make a decent anime apart from ThunderCats, I just hate how many western cartoons lack a good story.

I also think Doctor Who would be cool as an anime, It would be like one of those ridiculously long series that's been airing since 1963.

I would also like to add my opinion on Adventure Time, It would not make a good anime, it's just 'lol so randum' humor. Admittedly the newer episodes have some story or chronology to them but they're completely going against the title of 'Adventure Time' and it's becoming 'I don't know which princess to love: Teen Angst'. I think for an adventure time anime to work it would have to stick to the random nature of the first season and become like FLCL, Redline or Dead Leaves in terms of stylishness and craziness.

Actually that sounds like a good idea.

Damn yes. Danny Phantom would make for a brilliant anime.

Adding to that, I think the Fairly Odd Parents could be done pretty humorously as well. Or how about that game show that was shown in Nickelodeon "Legends of the Hidden Temple" and Rocket Power will also make for some good anime. For LotHT, they could make it episodic. I bet they could do it rather brilliantly.

Mad Men, because nobody does casual sexism quite the way the Japanese do.

Game of Thrones, because it would be like Berserk with an actual budget.

Star Wars, because more Star Wars is always a good thing.
