Every anime more than 50 episodes long.. plus clear, well defined action in action anime remakes similar to one punch man's e.g one piece and fairy tail.. and while they're at it remake one punch man season 2, it's really BAD!!

Pandora Hearts (with the manga ending)

Seconded

I turned to the manga after I was disappointed with the anime ending, which was abrupt and answered virtually nothing, and I was surprised to discover Pandora Hearts is one of the greatest manga ever made. Still waiting for the day when a studio will pick up this incredible story and animate in full. It deserves it so bad, and so do I

Some anime's are painfully long, some with fillers and others with dialogue, some anime protagonists are whiney which is excruciating to watch, some have bad character design and some just have bad animation, some have muddled, blurry or unclear action scenes,, anddd worst of all some are badly directed.. all of these should be remade more compactly, with better character designs and animation, with clear well defined action scenes and with veteran directors at the helm.. among a few examples would be one piece, naruto, fairy tail, berserk, Tokyo ghoul.

Do you know how many "reboot" threads there already are?
People on the forums just keep rebooting the reboot threads!

Ah, anyway, time for my take.
Yes, my brothers, my fellow believers in the holy word of the hawk of light, I too believe that someone competent needs to pick up berserk, whether its games or a series though the golden age has been adapted to death, all we need is someone with the big hairy ones to cover something like lost children, if they can cover those arcs than the rest could fall into place.

it would be a bit of an effort to cover everything legally available though, as it's taken more than 30 years to create berserk and it still isn't finished, miura has slowed berserk to a crawl too.
fans often joke how long it'll actually take him to finish it, I'd think it would be better to cover it seasonally like some of the battle shonen are doing now, but to do it justice might make it every 2 years

Claymore is one of my all time favourite series, but I'll admit that even the manga doesn't have the best art, particularly on human characters - many of the awakened beings look awesome and they are designs that would only have another home in a world like berserk's.

Madhouse did the anime for claymore, but they were also doing the second or third episode of Hellsing Ultimate at the time.

Claymore didn't end up looking terrible, but when you look at Deadman wonderland, which was their main focus when they did that, and nearly any of the episodes of Hellsing Ultimate next to what they did for Claymore, they could have done much better for Claymore.

Yup, I'm thinking they should do Claymore, covering the whole series (could be 50+) with more of the Hellsing aesthetic, hell, hellsong ultimate is a reboot of mad house's first attempt, why not this?

It depends on why they'd need a reboot and that'd mean different things can change.

If it's for shitty execution, Berserk(2016/17) would be pretty high on the list.

If it's because the anime got ahead of the manga and had an anime-only ending and the manga has finished now... god there are so many. Akame ga Kill comes to mind, a lot of battle shounen(although for those it's usually more about removing fillers and fixing the pacing) and many more.

If it's because it's an anime original, that went downhill at some point, probably DitF(2nd half needs to be properly executed). Something like Code Geass could also profit from some plot points being fixed and there are many more.

Well, I'll be honest I didn't watch it, though I saw a few scenes which was more than enough to see what kind of anime it was, now I'm not judging the anime itself even if hate the works that focusing on fanservice but if you took a close look at the studio's works you'll find out that most of the anime in his list is ecchi-harem generes! Now let's ask a question: is pandora heart that kind of anime?

It's only "the adaptation it deserves", if you look at the first half minus some fillers and progressingly worse pacing before the timeskip(although still bearable). After the timeskip it's pretty much 1 chapter = 1 episode(probably even 1 chapter < 1 episode) and the quality also dropped.
I wouldn't mind a reboot, which could easily reduce the (current) almost 900 episodes into 400-500.

All CLAMP anime ever existed, they manage to add a lot of filler and remove a lot of setting-related info and a lot of important things in general, have horrible art or animation, treat anime not as an adaptation but as an alternate version to the manga and change it for the worse, or just adapt the manga badly. It would be awesome but impossible seeing a "CLAMPverse" anime adapting everything from RG Veda, Tokyo Babylon, X shorter series and up to a proper tsubasa Chronicles adaptation that would change to xxxholic for some episodes. They can leave out Chobits, Cardcaptor, CLAMP school detectives/dyklyon and Kobato if they have to since those weren't that bad, even if still guilty from skipping a lot despite adding filler. But that's impossible, so maybe at least a Tsubasa remake someday...

A proper adaptation of Umineko.

Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro. The adaptation turned it into a stupid episodic show adapting only one arc in the middle more or less right.

A lot of light novel adaptations deserve to be more slow paced and not skipping things like crazy to become enjoyable series, like Spice and Wolf.

Slayers needs a sequel and maybe a spin-ff series adapting more stories about Lina and Naga more than a reboot. Reborn! needs a sequel adapting the last two arcs more than a reboot too.

A proper adaptation of Ace o Nerae!
70s series covered only one part of the manga and strayed significantly. Same for second series, while the 90s OVAs skipped a lot of content. 50-60 episodes would suffice for 18 volumes.

Same for Hikari no Densetsu (anime had only 19 episodes out of an 18 volume manga). With new animation and music treatment, like Yuri on Ice!

Tokimeki Tonight could also work since the manga kept on for so long and 80s anime adapted only a few early volumes.

You overestimate here how much is actual content in those episodes. Just skimmed through the last 5 episodes: The OP is still 3 minutes long(1.5 minutes is the standard in every other anime) and is followed by another 1 minute intro-thingy. I got at least 20 minutes of Impel Down/Marineford recap, 10 minutes Drum Island recap and 15 minutes Alabasta recap, possibly more. Considering that an episode is 24 minutes long and we have 45 minutes+ of recap, 20 minutes of OP+Intro, that's 65+ minutes of 120 minutes not spent on actual content. Basically half of it was filler.
The best pace to adapt the manga would be to translate 2 chapters into 1 episode(the manga is 15-20 pages per chapter iirc). The manga is currently at 942 chapters and the anime at 885 episodes(corresponding chapters would probably be ~905-910). The anime with its current content should have about 900/2=450 episodes. However, there are almost twice that amount, which just goes to show how glacial the pacing is(or rather has become) and on top of that how much the actual content is watered down by OPs, recaps, etc.

god no HXH is even worse, having a reboot of one piece be like that hell no!!!. i don't like the idea of it having 2 versions of the same opening stretched across 500 episodes, one piece is fine as is they don't need to retell the story, just leave it as is and be glad to have it adapted

If I had to just pick one, I'd probably say Claymore. Give it the Brotherhood (or rather, Sisterhood) treatment. A full & faithful adaptation, top notch production quality & completely uncensored. It would undoubtedly have potential to go down as one of the greats.

what i mean is they should go with 2 chapter in every episode like HxH 2011 they should edit just the pacing and not the openings .

of course one piece is still great as it is now ( for me atleast ) and i'm very glad to have it and it's still my favorite shounen.
but having less episodes will make it more popular , people who avoid it because it's long for them will give it a chance .
and finaly it will get the score it deserve .

just think how good adaptation turned HXH from a manga that no one know about to one of the most popular anime and high-rated ones

Definetely Claymore and Berserk. The first was average-good but had a terrible filler ending, whereas the old 1997 anime of Berserk was good but stopped at the most disturbing and terrifying moment of the manga as a nasty cliffhanger.
