D gray man comes to mind right away.
But what I'd really like to see is the tenchI ova rebooted but given no ova ep cap. I think that is what hurt obmva 3 and 4. They had 7 and 4 ep respectively. Everything felt like an info dump and there were no eps avaliable to have the slice of life throw away ep that really worked in the first two . I think if given more ep to work with the ova version could be salvaged . Also I'd be a fan of recon some elements from the other series into the ova time line. Others Rosario vamp Dn angel Pilot candidate Yakitate Japan Negima Mythical detective loki Demon bane Childs toy King of bandit jing And saving best for last record of lodoss war and crest of the stars |

The ship has sailed for any new Trigun anime project, after apparently luke warm reception for Trigun: Badlands Rumble (wow has it really been 10 years since Trigun: Badlands Rumble?)
I would have liked to have seen a 'Trigun Maximum' re-do following the full manga story, though realistically it would probably be like Full Metal Alchemist where there'd be a solid core of the fanbase that will prefer the original over any re-make. Nostalgia can be very potent. |

Trigun! I demand a Trigun Maximum anime!
I won't be able to die happy until I hear Livio and Elendira voiced! |

I'd like to see a Tokyo Ghoul reboot that was actually faithful to the manga, and a Tokyo Ghoul:re reboot that wasn't rushed as hell. Also, a full Ring ni Kakero adaptation that actually covered the early chapters with Ryuji's childhood would rock.
As much as I love Bastard!!, a reboot would still reach the point where author Kazushi Hagiwara left the series hanging, just when he was finally starting to show what happened before the timeskip that occurred when the series switched magazines. I wish he'd resume and actually end this series someday. Lastly, I strongly disagree about Chobits and Berserk needing reboots. The Chobits anime had pretty much the same ending as the manga (minus the whole thing about Chii not being able to have sex without having her brain reset), and CLAMP's Nanase Ohkawa oversaw the whole thing as far as I know. As for Berserk, much like Lord Geo, I'm not in the mood to see the Golden Age arc adapted for a third time. Just hand it over to the team at Mappa that did Dorohedoro after they're available, and have them pick up from where the GEMBA/Millepensee show left off. |

I'm with you a hundred percent. I love Baccano! and it deserves a lavishly animated retelling from start to finish. |

Oh for crying out loud, leave Berserk alone already. It'll never be what we want it to.

[quote="me_barron"]Yes on Soul Eater. Hope someday they do a Brotherhood on it and adapt the series proper. A little more niche, but would love a reboot of Karin (Chibi Vampire).[/quote
Why reboot?I think it was fine the way it was but i respect your opinion.What didn't you like about it?Was it the art style?] |

Chobits, well, that's a problematic one. Problematic because Chii was created not as an equal to humans but as a subservient entity, so if there was a remake in keeping with current sensibilities then it would be entirely different. Which is not at all to say it wouldn't be any good, but it wouldn't be the same story.

Kare Kano, someone get on that, stat.
And why not a fully adapted version of Hasagawa's Tenchi Muyo while we are on that? The original screenwriter for OVA 1, who continued and finished off the series in light novel format. For those in the know, the 'Daughter of Darkness' movie is a rushed adaptation of one of these novels. |

Mahoraba- Heartfelt Days It would never happen but for a manga that I read many years ago, there's just so many "heartfelt things" that stuck with me yet the anime only reached one of them before ending after 26 episodes.
Another vote for Karin. There times when the anime has to go on its own and then there are times when the anime decides to go on its own and change the genre. Hey, the second way worked for Excel Saga but it didn't work here. Awesome manga, miserable show in that it's no where near as miserable as it should be. In 5 episodes, it captures the emotion of the manga perfectly but then they ran out of manga and they couldn't replicate the tone they expressed so easily? The Slayers. A really great series, one that's funny everywhere and really excellent in parts but shouldn't it be funny in parts and excellent everywhere? |

My actual ideas for anime reboots are more older ones, mostly unfinished OVAs, but if I had choices for some anime to be rebooted, this is what they would be (some of my choices may be odd though):
Gall Force (maybe mostly the Eternal Story film): The sister metaseries of Bubblegum Crisis in a way, which also had Kenichi Sonoda's touch for the character designs, spoiler[and it did the whole "killing off most of the female cast" thing way before stuff like the overrated Madoka and Magical Girl Raising Project. While it had great character designs, a grade A voice cast (in the Japanese version), a great concept, a pretty cool story, and nice Star Wars and Alien references, along with a tone of both Star Wars and Star Trek combined, but for the problems it had, it wasn't just lackluster dubs, they were that the first film had TV quality animation despite it being a (direct to video?) movie (though it improved greatly in the other two films), unfortunately it didn't really focus too much on the characters to where the only one who really stood out with a real personality/development was Lufy (basically a female Han Solo and was voiced wonderfully by the late Hiromi Tsuru), if the first film's story was spread over three movies like the Star Wars trilogy or if it was a TV series that was building up to it and the other movies' story put into it], and it would be far better after the lame ass Gall Force New Era (which I consider both non-canon to the Gall Force series and The Last Jedi/Rise of Skywalker of that franchise), only thing worth about that is collecting cels from it which are cheap. But either way, I think this franchise needs the same recognition Bubblegum Crisis did, if it could get a Blu-Ray set via Kickstarter or Riding Bean could get a new anime via that website with Sonoda showing he's still got the artistic talent he's always had, why not this franchise? Gall Force still had a strong fanbase back in the day though it's not as huge/active now. Battle Skipper: Pretty much if Sailor Moon, Gundam and Thunderbirds were all in one. It had an interesting concept, but the concept itself was like, and episode 2 had a very uncomfortable thing (borderline hentai), and was riddled with terrible plot holes, plus there was never any moments where the characters could feel in danger. A proper reboot could develop the characters and such, and probably make those robots look better. Dennou Sentai Voogie's Angel: I read most of the radio drama scripts and it's far better than the lackluster anime we got, spoiler[and even the two manga series of it, from what I could tell of it, whilst better than the anime, still disappointed in not having a satisfying conclusion, mostly only focusing on Voogie and Rebecca (voiced by Aya Hisakawa and Kotono Mitsuishi respectfully), most of the Angels' designs in the one that came before the OVA series were godawful, and its ending there felt like a bad rip-off of The End of Evangelion (and that's saying something since the Voogie's Angel manga came out ONE YEAR before End of Evangelion),] I want it to be more faithful to the original radio drama scripts, develop the characters more, and actually have an ending/conclusion!! Fight! Iczer One: Cool horror thing, although certain scenes in it couldn't be done nowadays. And don't have it like the manga, the manga looks horrible from what I've seen of Kyoto Video's review on the Iczer One film compared to the manga, it's a case where the anime was better. Sotsugyou: Graduation: This is another anime that should have been like a 26 episode TV series instead of an OVA, it had five schoolgirls in their graduation years, spoiler[but it only had two episodes that focused on Mami's worries about separating from her friends and Reiko's concern of her future, those two episodes would have worked more as a finale, and Mika was more of a "just there" character,] but it did have high quality art and animation, with Kazuko Tadano presenting solid character designs, and had solid voice acting with actresses like Aya Hisakawa, Yumi Tōma, Hiromi Tsuru, and Mami's even voiced by Ray the Flying Squirrel! 
Princess Rouge/Legend of the Last Labyrinth: While it was pretty similar to stuff like Ah! My Goddess (even had Masami Kikuchi, Keiichi's VA, in the male lead role as Yusuke Mizuki, and the dub even had both Juliet Cesario and Scott Simpson!!), it still felt like its own thing, the romantic feelings between Rouge and Yusuke didn't feel rushed, it had above average art and animation, and decent worldbuilding, but it needed to develop the characters more and had the same flaw Bleach had with showing one character's backstory only just before he drew his last breath, and there was no ending. Hana no Asuka-gumi!/The Glorius Asuka Gang!: Originally only a 2 episode OVA, this was pretty cool in itself, a sukeban schoolgirl voiced by Hiromi Tsuru (making the list a third time) fighting against other sukeban schoolgirls, while the animation was average it still had a good story, though nothing amazing. Project A-ko: I dunno if it would work as a new sequel or not, but it probably wouldn't hurt to see those characters again in modern times or something. Dragon Half: Hilarious fantasy comedy, both in the anime and manga, and it sucks that it only ended at two episodes. I really liked the world building the manga has, and it even sets up certain things seen in the OVA, and if the whole manga could get released in the US now, why not make a reboot? Hyper Doll: Funny take on the magical girl genre, only had two episodes though, and the manga was better and did a better job with characterization, a more faithful TV series manga adaptation would work. |

Pandora Hearts. It’s one of my favorite manga of all time and I would love to see it get a better anime that covers all of the manga. Also if it ever does get a reboot, I want them to bring Yuki Kajiura back to do the soundtrack. The Pandora Hearts anime was my introduction to her music and a reboot wouldn’t be nearly as good without her music.

Midori Days NEEDS a reboot. Like, I dunno about the manga and if the anime was faithful or not but, I feel a ball was dropped HARD once u finish the 1st half cus the 2nd half? It doesn't have the same feeling anymore and I hate that spoiler[Midori had to forget everything the two went through.] It was so badly done that 2nd half, that it was crap to me. I LOVE the 1st half but the 2nd half? Feels like it sucked ALL the enjoyment out of the series. I wasn't kidding when i said someone dropped the ball HARD with the 2nd half of the anime and I'd love to see the 2nd half be as great as the 1st half while changing spoiler[the ending] and am sure content was skipped so I'd love to have all the content they skipped
I also vote for an Air Gear remake, rather I'd just be happy if it continued where the anime left off and got a full adap for what we never got
