Here's a chance to nominate a story that would make a good anime series, it could be a TV show, movie, comic book, cartoon, play or novel. Whatever takes your fancy.

I reckon that the X Files would be perfect for anime. A great premise, dark story, loads of creepiness, and two great main characters. It's also got as many twist and turns and story reversals as Full Metal Alchemist.

Mulder and Scully also sound good in Japanese. (They had the foreign dubs in the S1 special features)

I'd love to see something like Thunderbirds or Captain Scarlet get the stand-alone-complex level of sophistication, I know there was Thunderbirds 2086, but the vehicles were pants! And there was no real connection to the original at all.

I'd also like to see a proper western, I know there's futuristic spacey ones but I'd like to see one actually set in the correct time period! Smile

I don't mind if they bend the rules slightly and have some exotic technology/weaponry as long as it had an industrial reovlution look to it - but for the love of all things good dont let them have a giant mechanical spider!

An Indiana Jones Anime would rock especially if they did a collaboration and got Harrison Ford to be in the English Dub Smile

But none of that Indiana Jones - the puberty years rubbish!!!

I also think Ash and the ol' army of darkness could be adapted into some form of an anime gore-fest Twisted Evil

shame the comic went a bit mediocre.

I'd like to see Firefly continued as an anime, hell I'd like to see firefly continued... But I think the Japanese studios producers might have some issues with the morals of a crew.

X files would aslo be good, I agree on that one as long as they wouldn't anime-ise it and make 'em younger and make Scully so she really obviously fancies the now-brooding Mulder in an unconfertable "big-brother" kind of way.

I thought of something I'd love to see an anime version of - something like The Fast Show

Have a group of virtual actors who play everybody in the series - sort of like a cross between Azumanga Daioh, (humour) Excel Saga (for the parody) and Colorful for the format and quickness of it all.

One I would love to see adapted into anime would be Red Dwarf... They could really go to town on that, I think Very Happy
