Definitely not me. I absolutely loved the anime, so after it ended I went to check out the manga... only to realize that it was more or less a run-of-the-mill romance manga that had none of the energy, and barely any of the elegance, charm and meta of the show. It seems that most of what I loved about the anime were actually the creators' own touches, twists and tweaks. Also, I think the anime ended just fine, there's really nothing more that needs to be told... at least definitely not how it's told in the manga. As for Berserk, I really loved the '97 anime, and I think it did an amazing job telling the story it told, and it didn't leave me wanting to know more. Still I tried to read the manga, but it went off the rails really bad as far as I'm concerned. Unless someone can do an adaptation that has the guts (haha) to mercilessly excise all the bleh parts, and condense the aspects that are still good and interesting then okay, go ahead, but otherwise... nah. I'm fine with the '97 anime, thankyouverymuch. |

Really not interested in a reboot of the Dirty Pair, I love the character designs of the originals. Dirty Pair Flash changed them too, and made then younger. Which lost a lot of the magic that the original anime and movies had. If it does get rebooted, I'd hope they age them back up properly. I loved Adam Warren's comic version of them. He got the magic right.
It will probably never happen, but I think Arifureta: From Commonplace to World's Strongest needs to be rebooted. The anime was a parade of failures from start to finish. Lifeless OP, stilted animation, editing so severe that the MC is a cipher to the audience, and the series seems to be a travelogue, instead of a story. |

Even though the anime we do have is recent, I think Magical Girl Raising Project deserves a better adaptation. The anime we do have adapted only the first novel, which essentially functions as a prologue to the rest of the series and is definitely the least interesting storywise, and never had any plans to write more. Not only is that ridiculous from a storytelling perspective, I think it also gave a lot of people a false idea of what the series as a whole is like. I read and enjoy the novels, but most people seem to dismiss the series as torture porn. I’d like to see it get an adaptation that actually cares.

My own selfish one is Gash Bell/Zatch Bell. I'm not sure if it'll happen or if it'll really do the best parts of the manga justice (the actual ending of the faudo arc as well as the clear note stuff which is great for every reason sans spoiler[clear himself ironically.]) since they might cram it into a 3 cour series or something, but it would be nice to actually See Gash bell actually be well animated. Hey we got one of Ushio and Tora, Shaman King's getting one, let me dream!
and hey if that does well maybe they'll finally make an anime for Animal Land (though granted I think the real reason it never happened was because I'm not sure anyone knew how to even market that.) |

Yes to Ouran, yes to Soul Eater....KHR I found pretty boring.
Chobits just.....all around kinda sucks. My issue is with it trying to pass off as a romance. Cause....Chii is just way too....immature. The two just don't feel compatible to me....that way. And considering how much I DO like romance with age gaps, that is a problem. Maybe I've just outgrown the series idk.
Oh, I COMPLETELY agree. Louis would too, if he saw this post...he's responsible for me even watching the show. xD |

Never going to happen list: (it used to have Fruit Basket on it, so one can hope)
Haven't seen anyone mention GUNSLINGER GIRL. The botched second season in terms of production quality (the story adapted was somewhat passable) was very painful to sit through, especially knowing the amazing quality of manga. Glad to see someone mention Shugo Chara. This show was done by PEACH-PIT, which tells you that they explore tougher subjects. But the anime dumbed it down so much, I don't even...... Same thing with Gakuen Alice. Total disregard for the darker elements in the manga. Roses of Versailles by Sayo Yamamoto or Kunihiko Ikuhara as mentioned by others. Maybe it will happen list: SLAYERS Twelve Kingdoms Don't do it list: Darling in the Franxx. This show should serve as an example for how high budget and immense talent will NOT automatically result in good stories. And no, it didn't started to struggle later on in the series, it started to struggle by episode 7 at the latest. Saiunkoku Monogatari. I know how the light novel ending is. It goes against the central theme of the story. So please, leave the anime adaptations alone. Also, a new adaptation would still need Yang Bang-ean to compose the score. So, please leave this alone. |

Reborn! doesnt need a reboot, it needs a continuation.
And those first "20 episodes of gag filler" actually have a lot of premise to the later plots, along with some foreshadowing hidden in them. After it becomes serious, all they talk about is wanting to survive and have fun in their gag "filler" days like before. Cutting them out would just ruin the overall wants of the characters and not make it have any sense. Plus, they explained the powerup system from gag to serious as well as they are different levels. From the way the video is made, it's obvious they didn't even try to get past the first serious arc to see the characters constantly say this throughout the series. It's not considered "filler" if it's in the manga and the manga was a gag comedy for 8 full volumes. Funny how they say they want the full manga animated, yet want to cut out 8 volumes of the gag. No research done at all. So no, it needs a continuation, not a remake. |

I kinda wanna see it...yet kinda don't. Because some parts were REALLY heart-breaking...I still think about them now and I dunno if I can take it. xD The manga was FAR from over when the anime came out though...so I don't think they disregarded the darker stuff on purpose...it was just not around to adapt. I think? Speaking of which how about KODOCHA??? |

The beginning part of Reborn is the GOOD part of Reborn, back when it was a dark comedy about an ACTUAL baby mafioso instead of all the weird retcons it started doing in later seasons.
Don't get me wrong. I also like a lot of the later seasons of Reborn!, mostly because Tsuna stops being unlikable and useless and is just unlikable but not useless. Except the Future Arc. The Future Arc is horrible. |

Opinions. Future Arc was the best arc for alot of the fans and the peak of the series. Even so much it outsold Bleach at times in manga sales.
Yes, that's what I was saying.... lol Anyway, other series I would love to see rebooted is: Black Cat D.N.Angel Spiral |

Yes, please. I should finish the manga...thanks for the reminder. Kazemon, you have good taste. xD But did Sugisaki actually finish D.N.Angel? I hated the anime ending...but she has the tendency of dropping projects...and I remember it was on hiatus for a looooooooong time.

Every time this topic comes up, I always see people posting series that are in desperate need of continuations, not reboots. I don't see any reason to redo an entire good series from scratch just for the sake of getting to new content. Series like Baccano!, Spice & Wolf, and Twelve Kingdoms all definitely fall into this category for me. Just give me more! Rurouni Kenshin deserves a special mention too: it still blows my mind that the new anime project a decade ago was an abbreviated retread of the Kyoto arc, by all accounts portrayed far worse than in the original TV series, instead of the final manga arc that the fanbase has desperately wanted to see properly animated for two decades now. That being said, Hunter x Hunter's 2011 adaptation was very well done overall, even though I think the shared content (especially the Hunter Exam) was better portrayed in the 1999 adaptation. It also reached the best possible stopping point we could hope for, because lord knows what comes after isn't getting a conclusive ending in this lifetime.
More on-topic to the column, after seeing the original author's...proclivities played fairly straight in Fire Force, I'm more than satisfied with Bones' take on Soul Eater. The ending was admittedly a bit odd and abrupt, but overall I found it very enjoyable. And after reading a bit about where the manga wound up doing to poor spoiler[Crona], I'm perfectly fine sticking with the version where they wound up in a much happier place. |
