Would they still be good?

For me, yes since all of them are masterpieces, so it’s really easy to make all of them good if they became anime.

It's hard to win an argument against smart people, but impossible to win an argument against dumb ones.

If you mix them all up and make an anime, you will get the anime version of the X-Files.

Depends on what they do.

I mean Batman Ninja exists, others may or may not have that anime like silliness or seriousness and quirk to them the same way BoJack does or the more kid/teen aimed cartoons you listed (I haven't seen any of them, only know of the names but I assume their praise means something) others probably may be the same possibly.

No clue about most crime/mystery (not really my area but others can tell) anime but I assume they may be similar to the others you have listed.

I mean even the Halo or Star Wars original adaptations had each studio show what their take on those universes were like so you can kind of take away from those how they go about things seriously (none of the anime quirkiness) from different perspectives.

Even the Wither anime (whatever it pulls from the books or games) you can tell what a Witcher anime would be like even for what it tries to adapt. I don't know a lot about the Witcher series but I think it was a fine adaptation and gave me the general idea.

The Mass Effect one was bad because they had to take it from one of the most generic characters. For a average watch of action scenes and I guess kind of what was going on in Mass Effect 3 sure but otherwise was pretty pathetic.

I haven't seen the Dragon Age one yet though so may it's better but hoping so as I think it has a far better universe to make a good fantasy movie but I don't have my hopes that high.

But I'd say from those examples it's possible to kind of guess but otherwise it's up in the air.

'Avatar: The Last Airbender, Gravity Falls, Arcane, Over the Garden Wall, Batman The Animated Series, and BoJack Horseman'

Those are anime, bro
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Its the return of listing off randomly picked shows for one long ass title. Gravity Falls would probably be worse as an anime and Avatar would probably be exactly the same. I mean hell, it already has a similar artstyle and it had at least one beach episode I can remember. Ah yes...the episode that really made me love Ty Lee...The only way it could possibly be more anime is if it had MORE fanservice.

1. Naaah, I am only interested in Lost as anime.
2. The anime of RWBY will demonstrate if a cheesy trashy western media property can be ameliorated to something decent by japanese artists.
3. "For me, yes since all of them are masterpieces" - BoJack Horseman being a masterpiece? Seriously, what's wrong with the OP?

Well not knowing/remembering all of them but I guess Chernobyl as a Drama/SoL/Mystery and Band of Brothers as Drama/Action/Shounen would be great -> Arcane in Japan is an anime (if I remember correctly they call "anime" every animation unless I am mistaken) so it would be similar (or just switch on Japanese dub so you'd have you're anime x) ). As I am sure for most of them, I have no idea if Arcane would be better/equal with typical japanese animation.

Something like The Sopranos requires subtlety which I don't think anime could pull off. There would be a very obvious "look at this" closeup of his facial expression and then probably a monologue for all of Tony's inner thoughts.

It's not just "critics" that love BoJack Horseman though, it's very highly regarded amongst non-critics/general audiences as well if you check sites like imdb, Metacritic, and Rotten Tomatoes. It's fine if you have a negative opinion on the show, but there's no reason to act shocked when someone thinks it's a masterpiece lol. That would be like if I acted flabbergasted because someone said Bunny Girl Senpai is a masterpiece

I believe the choice of what way you portray them matters. Even if they become anime, it doesn't guarantee high quality animation. Not to mention that quite a bit of the anime today is long commercials for the manga or LN, so that may also happen.

I would be wary because of such projects because it isn't unusual for some studios to bungle the story of the source material they are working with, or the anime medium does not fit the tone and humor of the work in question.

My thoughts are generally; be careful what you wish for.

When they did a shitty job with the writing, we got Batman Ninja.
When they missed all characters, we got Wolverine.

If the writing were as good, if the characters were as good, if the setting was as good, if the tone were as fitting as the original, if the animation and aesthetics conveyed what the original visual, acting and direction conveyed, if the production value were equivalent,.. yes, of course it would be a good anime.

It would be different though, different medium has different strengths and weaknesses, some would be more impactful and others would be weaker.

Avatar and Batman are already very similar to anime in many ways so making them anime wouldn’t change much. Avatar feels like your typical anime action series that isn’t a battle shonen. If you’ve watched Fma brotherhood for instance, you know that there are various similarities between it and Avatar. Batman the animated series is very heavily inspired by 90s anime and has that retro anime feel to it. It’s basically just a big budget 90s anime if you think about it.

Everything else would just be worse off because they can only be done well through the medium they were designed for. Breaking Bad only works as a live action series as many of the pivotal moments in it cannot be recreated well using animation.

Arcane would become significantly worse, one of its biggest selling points is fortiche's visuals that perfectly line up with the art direction of the game. I don't think there is a single studio in japan that can even make a sidegrade. Even if one can it would probably look very off-brand from leagues art direction
