Books that would make good anime

>tfw pic related doesn't even have a movie

That's because it would make a terrible movie. Like, 90% of it is just the dude's thoughts.

Mein Kampf

Rangers Apprentice. I mean we already got one Australian children book series get an anime, why not another.

I say this mainly if they manage to get some of the banter between characters (mainly involving Halt) but aside from that, there isn't really anything to remarkable about the books and honestly I wouldn't be to mad if they only adapted the first book.

The alchemist by Paulo Coelho.

Lightning thief.

This and Stoner

I want this harder than you can imagine. Any anime where Altruism is fought and indentified as the primordial evil is actually is would suffice.
Atlas Shrugged: The Anime with mechas, magical grills whatever, don't care, just give it to me an mock commies in it.

Pynchmeister's masterpiece aka Gravity's Rainbow

Love in the Time of Cholera

>My one-eyed father can't possibly be this wise!
Just make them cute girls or in the dystopian future or some shit.

Yeah, and thank god it never will.

TFW Catcher in the Rye is a better teenage cynic angst story than OreGairu

Tender is the Night

Murakami is a hack.

>delinquent moe
>homolust towards Stadlater
>cute imouto
It'd do okay.

> Kore wa Anarchist-u desu ka?

...

Soseki's Kokoro for the NTR shitposting

oreigaru is terrible so it's not really a competition.

Wait would this count as a Isekai

>Swords, violence, adventure, beautiful women, handsome men, sex, sorcery, depression, life, death, monsters
Nips'd eat it up

>Naked shotas
>Tsundere redhead
>Edgy brother
>Kind onee-san
Just give it to the Urobutcher, it even has one of those twist he likes so much.

Are there even any sci-fi isekai? I've only seen fantasy settings.

I know that Goro Miyazaki tried his hand at a film set in the world of Earthsea, but I'd rather see straight adaptations of Le Guin's original trilogy.

At least a third of the story takes place in a future where presumably half of humanity are an entire race of adorable lolis and shotas who do nothing but eat, play and fuck all day. I guess the rest of the story is alright too.

How come nobody adapted the original Isekai?

Fushigi no Kuni no Alice

It would actually be very interesting to see this adapted faithfully and it's contrast drawn all the clearer with what the term has come to mean in the industry just by being in anime form.

You've seriously never read Alice in Sexland? Newfags, I swear.

don't know. there defiantly could be since the only the only requirement seems to be having to MC sent to another world which Arthur does a lot including being sent threw time, other dimensions, and if you consider the 6th book cannon being stuck in a virtual universe for what seemed like decades in fact it was about 2 seconds.

>anime has loli but there is no Lolita anime

??????? Why??????

The Xanth series is interesting and perverse enough that I think Japan would love it.

Shit book for pretentious people that want to appear smart and "deep". And we already have Oregairu.

Moby Dikku

Quelaag can be a qt brown trap

Catch 22

this, desu

Fine, I'll post the obvious.

>muh phonies

Retard.

can archie be anime?

Pretty much an anime already, from all the girls being tsundere, the main protagonist who is a harem protagonist, and muh katanas.

Thank god it doesn't have a movie. He was the original /r9k/

I want an anime about Max Stirner. I want a Max Stirner action-adventure horror series similar to Hellsing. It will follow Max Stirner as depicted in his caricatures as a ghost hunter who travels Germany in order to dispel the spooks both literally and metaphorically dealing with spiritual beings, demons, monsters, Karl Marx, and random men who try to keep him held down. You can't tell me you wouldn't want to see an anime Karl Marx getting thrashed and beaten in the streets of Germany by a mad man ranting about spooks.

J.D. Salinger specifically said he didn't want any adaptions of Catcher in the Rye. So it's not going to happen.

He's also dead, authors wishes only go so far. It might take a while, but it will be adapted some day. It is basically free money laying around.

Dude had children. I think he would be the type of guy who would give the rights to his descendants in his will so they can respect his wishes.

Franz Kafka specifically wished that none of his works get published and that if they do the creature in the Metamorphosis never be drawn or shown but many publishing houses slap a cockroach or a rat or something on the cover and all of Kafka's surviving works got published and finished for him(usually) anyway.

I am vicariously embarrassed for you.

Kafka was a jew who lived in the unstable climate of 1920s germany. Jewish writing was fetishized after the war because the Nazis burned and banned many jewish books. Totally different situation.

It might take a few generations, but somewhere down the line somebody is going to walk up to one of his descendants with a big bag of money and say "we'll give you this big bag of money if we can defile your great great great grandfather's wishes" and one of them is going to say "alright."

I have the feeling that japs would do a better job with Stannis

> there isn't enough """"philosophical"""" anime

oh shit it was already posted

You're most likely not wrong given how people are, but there's also a good chance Catcher in the Rye is going to be forgotten, and some other poor sod's work would be thrown into the cross hairs of modern capitalism..

Well spooked my property.

Please excuse the ellipses, I didn't mean to type too faggish.

Directed by Ikuhara

Glad you guys like my idea

>karl marx having an autistic fit in anime form

I'd love to see this

Why not adapt the works of one of Japan's greats, Confessions of a Mask?

You're my property and your property my property, my property.

I read all these books and I fucking hate them. They read like a script. There's no passion involved. It's like George fully intended them to be adapted into TV and just didn't bother to write, he just put "and then so-and-so went and did this while this person did this and died."

I would watch this. SoL with cute programmer little girls.

I'm a huge sucker for sci-fi and space so anything by Heinlein.

It being forgotten is probably the most likely reason it would be adapted. Book sale profit drying up is probably what would be the easiest way for the aforementioned "big bag of money" strategy to work.

Max is the best girl, awalys.

A manga adaptation would be way better for Catcher.

Why doesn't Sup Forums or /jp/ talk about japanese literature often? I don't mean LNs or WNs, I mean actual books.

Maybe a well revised 1984. Japs hate actual political commentary it seems tho so maybe not. It could probably be made into a cool drama though.

What about Plato's Republic? Are high-brow philosophy treatises even possible to adapt in any medium?

because no one here reads/watch anything that is not wish fulfillment shit? just look at what people are posting here, and the isekai barrage of shit.

The odyssey and illiad, and all the other greek myths. Have there even been any straight retellings? I'm not talking about some loosely based shit like saint seiya or whatever.

Red Dragon. I know it's sort of overplayed, but a good studio could make a good adaptation.

Because nobody here has ever read any, outside of maybe a few people having read the tale of genji or something.

>baby's first schlock fantasy
Pacing's terrible and you could hack out embarrassingly huge chunks of the books that just aren't necessary for the core of the series. It's like there's a pillow between all the shit that actually matters. Even the meme about all the dead characters just shows how much of the cast is unnecessary fluff, that they can be so abruptly removed and the storyline still functions. It's a kluge of a series.

If Catcher ever gets adapted, I honestly doubt it'll get above a 6/10 amongst viewers, and I'm not even a ratingsfag.

...

That could be a good Mappa show. Especially the part when he goes into excruciating detail about his armpit fetish.

...

Either this or

it's dumb but I love it
even gate was okay despite being shit, I just love historical time travel

This. but the question is what studio could do it justice?

120 Days of Sodom

I don't think this should be an anime because I don't think the style would fit it. There is a very clear art style already present in all the illustrations, and giving it any kind of "anime" style would make it look atrocious.

Top tier taste though, edge chronicles is criminally underrated.

Why don't we see more western literature adapted into animation? It's clear that Nips know about Western Literature and make references here and there but never any adaptations.

Good, it deserves less than that, but it would be raised up by litfags who can only regurgitate what their professors said was good.

Possibility because of five reasons. They are hard to understand, deal with difficult and nuanced subject matter, challenge the consumer and status quo, have a very small target audience, and require comprehension, skill, and experience on part of the adaptors. Hardly something that would earn a profit in today's era of escapist, mind-numbing, pandering drivel hoping to earn a quick buck

Mein neger

George worked as a screenwriter, so that's not surprising.

Well, to be fair, there are studios that don't just do obvious anime style that we see in like Fairy Tail or something. It's why it could fit in like Rage of Bahamut's style for example or The Sea Prince and Fire Child.
