Anime

Remake a series?

You are given as much money/episodes as possible to remake any series or adapt from a light novel/manga.
What would you make?

For me... i'm not sure... and i couldn't even give reasons.

I know it isnt really considered an anime but "teen titans" the original one, at least finish it up

Does it have to be a light novel or a manga? Can it be a game? Yes? No? Brave Frontier?
Anyways, there should be an anime for Brave Frontier. You know, without the summoners. Just the units and their war with the gods and stuff.
Following the rules of this thread, I would probably remake Zatch Bell and give it more suspense and aim it for the higher age group?
And probably Mirai Nikki too 'cause I liked it so much.

Heck yes! Would love to see the rest of the manga covered in anime form. The anime ended way too abruptly and open ended.

This too. Soul Eater Not got me wanting more of the original soul eater crew.

Wasn't the Soul Eater manga ending just a different cop-out? I'm surprised people still want that.

Zoids - because it was sad when the first series had the best plot and animation and it only went downhill from there. I would remake it and it would be darker and more war grit as opposed to the nonsense that the later series turned into.

Soul Eater - follow the manga this time dammit! That anime end was such a cop out and a let down.

Air Gear - hello we have how many chapters of this manga and you couldn't even make through a second season of the anime? This needs to be fully animated.

Guilty Gear - okay this never made it past the trailer but there was supposed to be an anime to go alomg with the game series but it never happened. Still I loved the animation style of the trailer sequence and I would love to see that actually turned into a series so we could find out more about the characters like it alludes to in the trailer.

@dr4g0ns1ay3r: Gee I dunno, how about all the scenes when she randomly grabs Yuka's tits. There's plenty of unnecessary parts like that.

I do like the artwork of yugioh cards when I was younger, they still look cool. The actual yugioh anime was of jumbled people 4kids stuff that doesn't hold me anymore. Dunno how to make like a fantasy epic or whatever just from the artwork of the many monsters & settings.

Even if I had the chance to remake something I rather not. Personally you lose some of the charm of what made the original unique in its own right, good or bad. There's some anime I wish would get more recognition, but considering what trend they tend to go for... well I'm not getting my hopes up.

What Fanservice. She was naked thats all. She wasn't flaunting with her looks. However, I do agree Elfen Lied need to be remade.

I would like to see Apocalypse no Toride animated. I really want to show the world of this nice twist of a zombie manga.

Remake of:
Gundam00 > Great anime, great art for the time, but could do with a serious animation revamp. Some parts of the plot could also do with a little fixing, a little more drama between characters who are friends, more development of the personalities of the foes, and a little more romance.

Guilty Crown > Just take the off the first half of the anime and we're good. Pointless 12 or so episodes. More character development would be nice too.

School Days > HD murder scenes and naughty bedroom scenes

Elfen Lied
It's good but it could really benefit from a higher budget and better voice acting with a couple parts omitted(fanservice)

or

Guilty Crown
That show was so bad it was hilarious. I wanted to get some feels from that show, but the only tears I got were from laughing so hard

Dorohedoro. I'd like to see that animated and the style makes me think it would do fine in transition.

Darwin's Game or Shield Hero just because that's what I'm into right now and the manga updates are too slow. ;-; Gotta pay someone to translate that long web novel. ;-;
Maybe Oboreru Knife since no one is translating that either even though it's completed. ._.

There's probably more popular things to adapt though. :C

Oooof. Such a hard one. Um...

I think it's a toss-up between Gantz and Aku no Hana.
