The ending animated would be incredible
Joseph Foster
If you are going to adapt some spic-lit, do Pedro Páramo.
Brandon Diaz
>Pedro Páramo.
That would be pretty difficult to adapt because it can't be divided by chapters like one hundred years of solitude, it must be a movie and at least 3 hours of running time.
If you insist on adapting juan rulfo then I would love an adaption of el llano en llamas like the junji ito anime.

La Peste with ABe

How the heck would adapting 100 years of solitude even work? How do you even adapt the atmosphere to an animated medium? You need to have and knowledge of colombian history, society and culture to really understand what happens in the book and what it means, would any Japanese studio ever give a shit?
An anime adaptation would be basically Jojo lite with less muscle guys posing and more melancholic old men making fish sculptures
Jonathan Davis
pale fire
Parker Torres
Iliad or Odyssey, i can already see the fightscene with Odysseus against the dozens of men who are after his throne and wife.
Aiden Jones
To Kill A Mockingbird
Tyler Perry
The first time I read it I didn't know about any of the stuff that you mentioned and still don't know a lot about colombian society or culture outside of Pablo Escobar, and still enjoyed it.
You are right to have your worries about how are they going to adapt a book with this complexity, but all adaptions are not 100% true to the original work and when you do this transition from a written to a visual medium then the changes are going to be radical.
I have seen several anime where magical realism worked fine like Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita so I have faith that if there is someone that can do a good adaption of the book into a movie or series, it's the japanese.

Siddhartha by the same guys who made Zetsubou Sensei.
Brody Nelson
It's basically Metal Gear Solid with US Marine-wank.
Sebastian Watson
Harry Potter
Levi Nguyen
The Hyperion Cantos
Juan Murphy
LOTH but Three Body Problem's trilogy
>not the Iliad with cute girls
>Achilles: idol
>Agammenon: ara ara
>big tiddies Ajax, flat chested Ajax
>Hector: stoic hime
>Paris: spoiled bratty loli
>Odysseus: DFC dork also best girl

Excellent choice.
That one as my 1st pic but this one as my 2nd choice.
Because the prose is fucking amazing!
Dude every chapter is written like an essay! It's so well written! That's the reason why..........

>Filler arcs
>Harem
>Power level antics
>Lots of different locations
>Swordwanking
Yes, I think the Wheel of Tsunderes would be perfect as an anime.
Austin Ramirez
The One piece of fantasy novels.
John Barnes
Who'll finish for Oda after Corona gets him?
Lincoln Wood

Luke Allen
Story of Your Life by Ted Chiang
His adaptation on film was not very good in my opinion.
Hudson Cook
Neuromancer
Easton Mitchell
Dune
Ryder Bennett
Only nips could get away with animating 13 year old Daenerys getting plowed.
Mason Myers
This would fit perfectly
Liam Kelly
Just like Quixote killed cheap chivalric romance, we need something to kill the eternal isekai.
William Myers

Grayson Evans
No longer hum... no wait it was fucking awful
Yes even Junji Ito's adaptation
Evan Perez
The anime for it was fine.
Evan Anderson
Thief of Always
Jose Kelly
You mean the book was awful?
Andrew Sanchez
Blood Meridian
Crime and Punishment
Storm of Steel
Stoner
Prometheus Rising
Nicholas Hall
For something more modern, I think this would adapt really well. It's definitely one of the stand outs of modern fantasy.
Cooper Price
>Just plain awesome
Brandon, please.
Ethan Parker
Junji Ito's adaptation
Nathaniel Myers
Borges or cortezar, man. Imagine the animated shorts.
Ryder Stewart
Then why did you say "Yes, even the Junji Ito adaptation"? That would mean that you hated the book, AND the Junji Ito adaptation.
Adrian Powell
Against The Day
200 episodes at least
Cooper Butler
Once again Yas Forums exposes itself as a reader of cheap fantasy novels
Lucas Bell
>murder mystery with a twist
>morality
>complex characters
In fact, it can easily be modernized and the location can be changed to Japan, though it might lose some charm in the process.
Dominic Jackson
New animation style every episode to match the feel of the chapter
Hunter Ross
How many anime are actually adaptations of proper novels and not light novels/web novels?
The first that comes to mind for me is LoGH.
Hudson Brooks
Preferably directed by Miyazaki but he probably despises Mishima
Carter Edwards
His Dark Materials
I think Shinsekai Yori is a proper novels.
Also many of the classics are, like World Masterpiece Theater and the competitors
Hudson Cruz
Brody Taylor
You'd need a lot of expensive music licenses though for the original flair.
Brayden Long
Wuthering Heights is already anime when you think about it.
Lucas Mitchell
Behemoth is the perfect meme mascot character
Charles Wilson
Oh right, I forgot that Shinsekai Yuri was adapted from a proper novel as well, but it makes sense considering how much better the plot and worldbuilding is compared to the average anime.
I'll probably look into those other anime you mentioned as well.
Robert Morgan
Water Margin, also known as Suikoden, also known as ALL MEN ARE BROS.

What do you expect from a bunch of boomer manchildren.....

>light-hearted comedy that pokes harmless fun at pseudoscience
>no mention of Schrödinger's cat, but you have Maxwell's demons as concierges
>built on slav folklore
Connor Reed
Skulduggery Pleasant would work better as an anime than anything else desu
William Bennett
Anything by Kobo Abe would work really well as an anime. I want to see more Kafka and Lovecraft done too. Dunwich Horror had an EXCELLENT puppet movie.
