| That can be said for a lot of mangas out there, if I have to state one reason it would be because japan only adapts trash manga for advertisement. |

| lmao i really don't know, they be adapting mediocre manga like demon slayer and jjk while masterpieces like 20th century boys, vagabond and even berserk never got a proper adaptation |
| What are you all talking about? Our saviors in Japan are obviously very busy animating isekai anime #10963 where the mc is an average man who gets a harem of beautiful busty girls in his new life, with classic ecchi shenanigans occurring |

| I think this is one of the hardest things to get adapted just by looking at the distinctive bold artstyle. |

| It just purely a matter of unluck tbh. Inoue already has 2 of his work adapted into anime. Also haitus is also to blame I guess (it's not really hot right now, u are 7 years too late to ask this question) It could probably may get a Blade of the Immortal level adaptation. But do u want one is the question |
  Click for a anime mashup! Still not gone bandwagon u, keep crying. Here u are welcome to CRINGE at my EXISTENCE |

| 1. Revenue. Vagabond is a Seinen so you're not gonna sell toys or gain widespread popularity like its a superhero manga. Meanwhile MHA and Demon Slayer are basically money printers for all the companies involved. 2. Popularity. Sure it is popular on mal. But compare it to Isekais or Shonens and it doesn't hold a flame. If you adapt a Seinen, seinen fans will watch it. If you adapt a popular WSJ manga, everyone in Japan watches it. These are the big 2. Anime is a business so they want to adapt shows that are profitable. Also possibly 3 3. It doesn't need one. Vagabond is known for its watercolor art that is very good. Some things don't translate well into moving picture. You can't recreate hyper realistic watercolor shaded art with digital animation, for 100+ episodes and expect the same quality. Look at Berserk. Some things can just be appreciated for what they are, art. |

| i guess cuz of the art, they could try their hardest but i don't think it would look as good as in the manga. also with that knowledge, it would prob cost too much to the point wheres its just not worth it |
| good opinions on anything, block = I own you |

If you adapt a popular WSJ manga, everyone in Japan watches it. Really?! Did you even fact-check that? Vagabond has 82 million volumes in circulation (as of 2012), which makes it one of the best-selling manga of all time. There aren't many shounen out there, and definetly no Iseaki, which can held a candle to it. Inoue-sensei doesn't want too, I guess. He retired the rights of Slam Dunk when it was airing because Toei wanted an original ending. He seems that he appreciates his work a lot and doesn't trust anime studio's that much. There isn't much incentive for him either. He is one of the best-selling mangakas in the world, with over 260 volumes sold. He never really needed anime to boost his sales. Vagabond sold over 82 million volumes without an anime. That put's it above FMA, Fairy Tail, MHA and just few million below HxH for reference. Also, mangaka don't make that much money from anime adaptation itself... They get like 25k-50k dollars in royalties. He obviously made enough money to don't care, so why risk having a bad anime adaptation? Just look at Berseker. You would think that such a hit series would attract a studio that can take on the work, instead of going for cheap ass CGI. |

| I imagine even if Inoue gave out the rights for an adaption, an anime adaption of Vagabond just doesn't seem like it'd work out. Leaving aside the fact that Vagabond's detailed and realistic art style would be very hard to capture in animation, I also don't think the 25 minute runtime would favor Vagabond's slow burn narrative. Even a great studio and team could easily bungle an adaption of a series like Vagabond. I think the best way to adapt Vagabond would be as a 40 minute live action series by a director that 1) likes Vagabond and 2) has experience with making samurai films and is knowledgeable about the classics. I think it'd be a lot easier to make (not having to animate the series by hand, no worries about bad CGI or missing detail from the manga) and stylistically Vagabond is closer to older samurai movies than 99% of anime. I haven't seen the Lone Wolf And Pup movies but I've heard that being live action really worked for those movies. I think the same would be true for Vagabond. As long as they kept it close to the manga it'd be godlike. I don't think it would happen, but that's the ideal adaption in my mind. I'd love someone to convince Inuoe on that idea. Of course he's busy working on that new Slam Dunk movie so I imagine he's got a lot on his plate. |
