Non-Japanese stories that would make good anime.

3. Since they're turning Witchblade into and anime they could try other comics such as Lady Death or Purgatory. I don't mean the aweful Lady Death animated movie that made me weep. I love Christine Auten and the voices she does but Lady Death... I still shiver. Her voice acting wasn't that bad...just the horrible animation and the plot...so bastardized. Do it some justice, give it 26 episodes at least. Got enough material for about 5 seasons.

1. If people are going to use the novels of Pern as an idea then you've gotta include Mercedes Lackey Valdemar books. They have so much depth and character development. Read them all at least 4 times.

You know what would make an amazing anime? HIGHLANDER.

And I gladly agree with you on both of these titles. I would love to see how someone would animate the mating scene between Ramoth and Mnementh (not to mention Lessa and F'Lar). I would love to see the Black Gryphon, Vanyel and Talia.

There is already a Highlander anime movie currently in production:

The Odyssey would make a sweet anime. A lot of story to tell, thats for sure.

Like Ulysses 31?

Admittedly it's a sci-fi recreation of the Odyssey and it's getting on a bit now, but it was a fantastic show and I remember it fondly.


I would love the Deathstalker series by Simon R. Green to be made into an anime just to see how they deal with all the wierd freaky stuff that goes on.

I'd have to say Stephen King's Dark Tower series myself; it's got everything a drama could ask for, action, romance, ect however I heard it ends on a bad note, I havn't finished them yet so I wouldn't know :S

I am delighted to find someone who's read the Dark Tower Series besdies myself. Some of, if not the best, the best work King ever did. I've only read up to the Wolves of Callah myself. Interested to see how he ends the series since he said he wasn't sure he ever could in an interview many many years ago. Anyway, back on topic. I agree the Drizzit books, all 2 dozen or so, would be a great anime. Here are some I think would be good;

2. The Witchblade comics would be great as an anime. That live action series kinda stank something aweful. Fortunetly there are making this into an anime, so we'll just have to see if it's any good or not.

4. As for video games, they should do a Resident Evil and Silent Hill anime series. Maybe a good 2-3 season anime can wipe away the stench and sludge that's know as Resident Evil Apacolypse. The first movie was pretty decent but 2....shoot me in the head please. Silent Hill was pretty good, the movie, as far as video game adaptations go. With an animated series though they could really add some of the darker more twisted aspects of the series. Maybe also try the Alone in the Dark series.

I definitely agree with the Pern and Dark Tower suggestions. (By the way, keep reading, the ending is great. I think King hit the only possible good ending.)

I think L.E. Modesitt, Jr.'s Recluce series would make a good anime. The books aren't the best I have ever read, but they are interesting. I think there is a decent mixture of traditional and unique elements to make a good anime series.
