| Any hidden gems out there that you think would make great adaptations? |

| Holyland Holyland Holyland HOLYLAND. One of the most crude, brutal works of teenage depression reflection, passes under the radar of SO many people that is a shame. I guess it is difficult to make a proper adaptation of such a deep work but the fights are great, the feelings in them are crude and real and, fuck, the characters are beyond great. |

I guess it is difficult to make a proper adaptation of such a deep work but the fights are great, the feelings in them are crude and real and, fuck, the characters are beyond great. Holyland is quite popular and not even that difficult to adapt compared to some other manga. On topic, manga like Spirit Circle, Hoshi no Samidare or Imawa no Kuni no Alice can work well as adaptations. Not hidden gems by any means, but they are much easier to be adapted in anime format. How is a manga that has been hardly translated to other languages (as far as I know, there is only an italian version of it) "popular"? Might have some members on MAL, but that does not apply out there. I know is more difficult to have a proper adaptation of Berserk or Vagabond, which are artistically strict and long, but is not that "easy" to do. |
| Not really a hiddem gem. It probably wouldn't be a good adaptation, as doing a worthy adaptation of a light novel as brilliant as this would probably be impossible, but I'd like this masterpiece to get the attention of many more people: Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria(HakoMari for short) |

I know is more difficult to have a proper adaptation of Berserk or Vagabond, which are artistically strict and long, but is not that "easy" to do. It's ranked 188 here in MAL for popularity(and top 200 for ratings), so I would say it's quite popular and doesn't really apply as "hidden gems". It's one of the first manga which is recommended for martial arts/action in other sites too so yeah. Many popular manga(like Kingdom) don't even get official English scanlations anyway so that "translated to other languages" logic hardly matters. No manga is "easy" to adapt, but something like Holyland is comparatively much easier to adapt than say something like Kokou no Hito, which is present there as similar recommendations. When I refer to popularity, again, is not only MAL-refered. It is well known here in MAL, even in 1/3 of the popularity is because people has it on "Plan to Read" (like 13000 people against 16000 completed), but out there has not been really popular outside Japan, and I doubt it is popular in Japan itself or was. Kingdom has a really heavy fandom in countries like France, they requested to have an adaptation and now they are 34 volumes and going, so it did Hajime no Ippo. Kingdom has more "risk" than Holyland, it has +50 volumes against the 18 the fighting manga has. So as I said, maybe it is not the "most hidden gem", but it is definately not that well known and deserves an adaptation. |
| I would love to see an anime adaption of Dungeon Meshi it has a pretty high score but hardly anyone talks about it. it's about a party of adventurers who get sidetracked from their quest when they run low on food and their quest transforms into finding, killing and cooking the various monsters of the dungeon. |
 It’s okay to look back at the past, just don’t stare too long |

Holyland received two live action adaptations before(one of them was a 13 episode drama series) so it was quite popular there. Well that is true. One of them is korean so I suppose they liked and was well known as well. |
| I actually want an original anime. The market is already full of adaptions to the extent that I consider this medium as a mere advertising platform for quite some years now. However, I assume Nijigahara Holograph would work quite well as a Pulp Fiction-style of movie since both share a lot of similarities (Structure/crazy characters/narrative technique). |
My Rereads | My Favorite Mangaka | Soylent Green Buy stuff, or buy at least your favorites if you can afford it - Don't be lame. D W-W&N 🤍 MAL is a far cry from being my main literature site, that's why I won't be doing mere single chapter updates anymore. Manga- aka Baka-Updates + 2 French ones are miles better and more thorough/complete + less restricting. The latter are perfectly suited for Manga/Light Novel/Books collectors such as myself. Less stressful/tiring this way. -g- |
| Since sexual oriented stuff is produced regurarly, I'd like an adaption of Sundome. By no means a perfect manga, not even that unknown judging by MAL popularity, but it could work very well. |

| Jigokuraku comes to mind among popular manga, maybe chainsawman I'd love to see Oyasumi Punpun, but that's not happening anytime soon. Some cute ones like hibi chouchou, or Ijiranaide Nagatoro-san I sold my life for 10 thousand yen could be decent But the ones i wanna see animated the most are Horimiya and Tonikaku Kawaii |

| Yotsuba& 12 years later and I'm still waiting. |
| 10 Dance 10 Dance 10 Dance 10 Dance 10 Dance 10 Dance 10 Dance 10 Dance 10 Dance it should get an anime |

| Bijin Onna Joushi Takizawa-san and Kawaii Joushi wa Komarasetai are both cute as hell and really fun + office romcoms are a pretty untapped genre in anime since high school romcoms still tend to be preferred. Kanojo no Carrera has cute girls racing in 90s European sports cars, as well as the slice of life foolery of someone with no car knowledge suddenly getting a high performance car. The licensing for all the different cars is probably one of the main issues that'd stop it from ever getting animated tho. Crossbone Gundam is my favorite Gundam manga, and has had numerous appearances in Gundam games, and even Super Robot Wars lately. I don't know why Sunrise seems so averse to animating this, meanwhile they recently teased at a Moon Gundam anime adaptation. A proper adaptation of Rosario+Vampire that actually goes into the more action oriented and plot heavy elements that come into the manga later on would be nice. |

| Well, Spy x Family surely gets anime adaptation as soon as enough chapters are released in the manga. I really hope great detective manga like Q.E.D. and Kako to Nisei to get anime adaptation.. as they are 1000% better than Detective Conan |
 Try reading Spy x Family Manga ^_^ U will love it, i promise... |
| Ani no Yome to Kurashite Imasu and Tatoe todokanu ita to shitemo ( So i can get more lesbians in anime ) Onani Master Kurosawa ( An absolute must ) Ookami Shounen wa Kyou mo Uso wo Kasaneru ( Traps aren't gay x) ) Jumyou Kaitotte ( An excellent nihilism manga ) Tongari Boushi no Atelier and Majo no Tabitabi ( There's not many anime with witches as its main focus.... so i hope these kind of manga gets an adaptation x) ) Taiyou no ie ( A sweet and simple sol manga ) Shinigami wo Tabeta Shoujo ( I don't know... i just want to see a scythe wielding loli gets adapted to an anime ) Danmachi, Sket Dance, Tegamibachi, D Gray Man, Magi, Oregairu, Konosuba ( Unrelated but.... i need s3! ) |
  Wandering Witch is the best light novel ever! |
Carvana said: Hrybami said: There is always hope. Unfortunately, the author said he didn't want to see yotsuba adapted, but I hope he has changed his mind, and also that he wrote faster.Yotsuba& 12 years later and I'm still waiting. Anyway, a KyoAni adaptation of it would be perfect, but impossible, since they don't own it. Yeah he decided that after being unsatisfied with the adaptation of Azumanga Daioh. Oh C'mon Azumanga Daioh was in 2002. Things must have changed since then. I hope he will change his mind one day. |
| At the moment I'm enjoying Dungeon Meshi. There are some really good light-hearted seinen series out there that don't see the light of day, like Yotsuba as well. |
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives. |
| An adaptation of 86 would make me a very happy camper |

| I'd rather have them finish adapting all the interesting manga and light novel series they already started first....there are hundreds of them... |

| First off, I don’t read much (I’ve been meaning to try some manga but we’ll see) so take my opinions with a grain of salt. I HAVE NOT read these manga series’ but I’ve read the basic synopses for them and they sound really cute: Perfect World - It’s about this young couple that rekindle their romance after dating in high school only the guy is now crippled and in a wheelchair. The manga only has 9 volumes and I recently read that it’s “wrapping up soon”. The series isn’t that long; it would be an easy 22-25 episode anime series and, let me tell you, I think it could have the potential to be another Your Lie in April albeit probably not quite that sad but I wouldn’t know because I haven’t read it. I will say when I first read the synopsis for Perfect World I literally thought I was going to cry; even the covers of the manga are so touching! OMGosh YES! An anime of that manga could be absolutely beautiful! Love in Focus - Now I’m sure there are other anime series’ about photography clubs but I’ve never seen one so when I saw this manga I thought it looked like something that had a familiar plot with a unique twist. Again, it could be a trashy series but it looked cute anyways. Short Cake Cake - Wow! That name is so fun to say! Lol Anyways, another shoujo series that looks very cute. Blue-haired female protagonist? Sign me up! As with the one before, it has a familiar plot with the same old shoujo tropes but it looked cute and I’ve actually heard some pretty good things about it (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve heard the humor and emotions of the characters are a step above your typical shoujo series). It looks like it would make a really funny rom/com so I’d love to see it adapted into an anime. |
| Regarding those that I finished, I'll say any of the following should - well, they must - have Anime adaptations: -> Jumyou wo Kaitotte Moratta. Ichinen ni Tsuki, Ichimanen de (I sold my life for ten thousand yen per year.) The BEST manga I've ever read. I think there are no words to describe it. 100/10 -> Half & Half A beautiful love story with a touch of the supernatural. And the end... well, read it and you'll know! -> Kanojo ni Naru Hi (The day he becomes a girl) Wow, this one really surprised me. After 2 or 3 chapters I knew this one would jump to my favourites' list. Don't be scared/fooled by the 'gender-bender' tag. It has much more to offer. -> Tokidoki Another 'small' surprise. Best One-Shot manga I read. This one deserves an OVA or a short 1-hour Movie. And then, these two also deserve an adaptation but I still didn't finish them: -> Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria (The Empty Box and Zeroth Maria) - Planning to complete this one in January... -> Fumetsu no Anata e (To Your Eternity) - Argh, the waiting... Still publishing... |
