The only series I read on webtoon was Noblesse so if they can animate that, i'd be awesome.

Hardcore Leveling Warrior anime.
More realistically, The Gamer anime. |

Noblesse has already gotten two OVAs. The Awakening is still available of CR. The first is a Korean production, The Beginning of Destruction, which is up on YT. Both are well done, but short. I'd be happy to see a full series done as well. I still haven't finished the series as later on it got kind of repetitive with all the swooshing and bam-pow of the battles. I still want to know how it ended though. I'd kill for an animation of Love Advice from the Great Duke of Hell, if it was faithful to the amazing art-style (dose faces!), but there's not nearly enough content yet, even for a short OVA. |

I'd suggest looking deeper then, because Webtoon has a pretty substantial amount of comics by indie artists from all around the world. And yes, while it hosts a number of US and European creators, the majority of its catalog and currently running series are by creators from Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asia. I haven't had the time to check out everything on there (there's SO MUCH) but off the top of my head I'd suggest "Mage & Demon Queen" by Color_LES |

That's really cool I don't really read Webtoons, but I'm all for animated content!
It is kinda sad Funimation picks up most of the good anime nowadays cause I can't afford three streaming services with my crap fast food job and I have been a loyal member of Crunchyroll since even before they became legal back in 2006. 
Half my shows this season I'm watching fansubbed cause Crunchyroll nor HiDive have them cause Funi has exclusive streaming rights aside from MHA,Black Clover, and Doctor Stone. I'm guessing this has more to do with studios cause CR already has contracts with cause they also got Fruits Basket which was also a Funi title. |

More animated shows is a good thing! Some series won’t be good, but that has nothing to do with their country of origin.
(Been reading the whole thread waiting for someone to point out that Crunchyroll is involved in video games and manga. They’ve been branching beyond anime for years) |

This sounds...promising, let's hope this union bears fruit.
After a Tower of God adaption (which is apparently up in the air rn) I'd also love for Noblesse, Lessa and Bastard to get the same treatment. Bastard I think could potentially be a big hit, it certainly was when it was still running on Webtoon. |

A Noblesse adaption got announced at the same time as the Tower of God one at Seoul Comic Con. |

I don't think people were really mad about non-anime being on CR so much as High Guardian Spice specifically rubbed people the wrong way with key infamous individuals attached to the project and what its purpose was I see this as CR just getting into Korean stuff since Korea is the 3rd biggest anime market behind Japan and China so they want to capitalize on a growing market. The few Korean manwha I've read didn't seem too different from Japanese manga in the grand scheme of things so people will probably be more open to it than a cartoon that looks like it belongs on Cartoon Network.

While Webtoon does translate Korean origin webtoons, it also allows people from around the world to publish on it, for example Lore Olympus is written by a New Zealander. |

yeah, i preferred to see their stuff made, like 4 Cut Hero. But the artist had medical issue, thus gone poof. I'd love seen that made into anime. Too bad, Crunchy digging deep,. But there are good Korean mangaka out there that deserve to be made into anime. |
