This topic has really bugged me lately. I myself am a big fan of reading manga, but a bigger fan of watching anime series. Usually when i find an awesome manga i check to see if it haas been turned into an anime series, and it's just frustrating when I can't. I'm sure that this has bugged many people. For example I recently just finished the manhwa "Zero" and am currently reading its sequel. I think that this is a very interesting manhwa and would definitely like to see it in action as a series, but this is almost impossible. Of course there are other manga that I've read and when like to see produced as a series. I know my opinion might not matter much, but if it could help in any way to get a producer's attention and maybe consider it i think that would be awesome. The only problem is I don't know how to contact any producers. Any help guys??

one I would say I enjoyed (though I've heard rumors that its being turned into an anime series) is mirai nikki (future diary) about how 12 people compete to become the new god of the world (but the only way to become that god is to kill the others who all have powers thanks to special diaries)

I'd like to see an Ultimo anime, but not until the series is much further in. Doesn't seem like the kind of series where filler would work.

Vinland Saga is the biggest one I can think of that hasn't been turned into anything beyond the original manga. Liar Game has a live-action series, but not an anime.

yeaa. I had someone tell me that mangas dont usually go into anime production unless they sell a lot, but I've read plenty of unpopular manga that become anime. I guess I should try find producer emails and hope they take the ideas into consideration.

i still i have yet to read ultimo but i think i can get to it soon and ill check out the others too. Btw for anyone here who really enjoyed elvin lied should really check out "Zero" its a manhwa but is very good. and variante is another good one if you like,...well i guess i probably compare it to a manga right away that i know but it is very brutall and is a good one to check out.

My top series are Vagabond and Dorohedoro, but they have such a strong, artistic expression that could never be mimicked by animation.

I think Yotsuba&! would translate well into an anime. It probably never will be though because the mangaka thinks otherwise.

In the OP's case, Zero isn't that widely known, and not as many manhwa are made into anime. That said, Freezing (another work by Im Dal-Young, who wrote zero) is being aired right now, so your chances are better than nothing, at least.

For myself, I wanna see an anime of Translucent (and the vapormanga volumes 4 and 5).

Biomega. And not like the way they turned Blame! into an OVA either. I mean like a full fledged anime with that whole beautiful artwork and architecture the manga has.

There's always been a secret list in the back of my mind of manga that I wanted to see get turned into an anime. The first and most obvious one for me is Pluto. The manga is so amazing and I think with a good staff they could really do great things with the story in an anime format. Then there's Me and the Devil Blues, I doubt it will ever be made but it would still be cool as a short series or an OVA. Also, Happy World! might make a pretty cool anime if they could boil down the story to a more focused plot line.

Now there are some comedy manga like Yotsuba&! and Saint Young Men that I'd like to see be turned into anime, but there's always the risk of the anime having poor comedic timing. But If they could do it right then I'd love to see something like that.
