The Visual Novel is very famous and in my opinion too pretty good!
So an Anime adaptation would be so nice.

Call up Studio Deen and tell them to adapt it for you.

What could go wrong?
I'm also filled with pure-hearted ulterior motives.

Nothing. Well, maybe a Pupa 2.0.
That would be funny.

I generally stay away from shorts, but I really need to just watch this. I am intrigued by the hate it gets.

If they made a 3-4 episode hentai OVA out of it, they can probably make it nearly perfect.
Really interesting signature

I feel an OVA series would work, but it would probably just end up with a way cut down story to force into two episodes and more focus on H scenes like most eroge OVAs

I think an anime movie is more likely considering the subject matter and length, which by itself is not very likely.

A movie adaptation would be better to avoid censors and show the goddamn sex scenes.

As much as I love Saya, it's been 12 years since the game came out, and there's a lot of graphic sex and guro they'd have to tone down in a proper anime adaptation. I guess they could make it a hentai, but making the sex scenes titillating would decrease the quality of the work severely in my opinion.

I'd have to say probably not, but bigger surprises have come out of Japan. Nurse Witch Komugi came out around the same time as Saya and that came back this season out of nowhere.

Either way, obvious bait is obvious


OT: It might indeed work as a short OVA series but no way would it ever work on TV. You'd have to censor like 80% of it given how graphic it is

hopefully it won't because it would be another anime that people would just pretend it doesn't exist (there is no tsukihime anime)

Gonna be hard to adapt it, some stuff are hidden in the VN, I don't see how they are gonna hide them in anime format without making it look awkward.

I read the whole thing recently, I don't think it's liakely since the story is too extreme for them to make any good enough sales out of it and it would require a big budget to make it worth watching.

The extreme tryhard factor is part of the charm. I would say it's worth reading for the final 2 endings at least.

It's too edgy for being adapted into a TV series. Maybe a film, but Saya no uta was released over 10 years ago, if it didn't get an adaptation then, I think It will be never adapted.

I wish, but the story is pretty graphic and grimdark. If they're gonna censore it, i rather it to stay only as a VN.
Gen Urobuchi hasn't have a good time in the industry since Aldnoah. Zero, and that made it harder.

Nahh, i would love to it but just like other said 80% of stuffs will be censored.
and if they adapt everything just like VN
>Too disturbing for anime format. some people would drop within the first episode
and if they make it more lighter
>Miss the disturbing point of story.

I'm probably too dumb to catch your joke
Just because it has sex and rape doesnt make it hentai.
they can go with "Implying" approach.
or
"Yosuga no Sora" approach (Borderline hentai i guess)

In my opinion, Saya No Uta would have been better without some of those "sexual" scenes, most of them felt really unnecessary.

If there is a god, nope. Besides, it would be censored and looked down upon as edgy and pretentious if it did happen.

I hope so,

It's one of the most unique ideas one could make.
The story is so beautiful.. The characters, the gore-y scenery, the whole universe and everything about that game is simply said perfection.

Unique stories and worlds are rare to come.

I finished the actual ending (the one where you take longer to get) and damn I was so fucking sadddddddd :'( then I went to do the other ending and guess what, sadness followed again..

They call the creator a butcher or smth well no wonder he really butchered my feelings (and Fuminori if you get what I mean lol) and that's one of a million reasons I love that Visual Novel.


However... if it was made into an anime. It might (or might not) lose a certain something. That something is the mystery factor. Simply reading and hearing about Saya's appearance and not ever seeing her makes it million times scarier because the scene is not moving. You're stuck you just see that description and shape your mind image according to it, all the while hearing the creepy sounds in the background. Now that feels splendid.

If it was animated I'm not sure how they could make it equally scary. No doubt I would love to see it animated, I'm just saying what I think.

As far as censorship goes.. Put it straight onto a DVD the TV channels don't appreciate art freedom and would do bad for Saya.



Maybe doing a movable-illustration-animation style would work better? Something like GODKILLER

Imma link it hang on

https://youtu.be/a40401e7p4s

here's the full movie. Now be warned the animation style is not something everyone would like. But damn it's unique, and an AMAZINGGGGG dystopia (or post apoc) story. I recommend everyone to watch it or read the graphic novels. Personally I only watched the movie and damn it's one of the best stories and animations I've ever watched. The colors and character designs are handled beautifully. If you like Mad Max styled stuff and don't mind gore and dark vibe then you might like this if not the movie then the GN.

Yes, i do agree, some of them felt unnecessary, it should also have worked by just implying.

So, The Best thing is to remove but imply everything.
How Saya transformed/altered people was based on those "sexual" scenes. So it would be weird to completely omit them.

Imo elfen lied is by far the worst piece of fiction humanity ever wrote that managed to get somewhat relevant in culture(so random obscure rape manga don't count)

According to the premise/the wikipedia summary, this looks even worse wtf

I'd be fine with a manga adaptation too (unless there already is one and I just haven't found it), but an OVA by a good studio would be the best option. Maybe we'll have to wait until the VN is 20 years old til we finally get an adaptation, like with the Parasyte manga. It'd really be a waste to not do anything with it, since it's got Urobuchi's name attached to it and probably still a decent amount of fans.
