How come there's no Harry Potter anime adaptation?
I'm not talking about inspired works like LWA, but the franchise itself. It has slice-of-life, magic, adventure, angst, shipping bait, having to shout names of special moves before performing them and it's literally all set in a school. Seems like it would be much more suitable to be adapted as a long-running animated series like HxH than as a sequence of 2.5 hour long live action movies.
The franchise was apparently popular in Japan and Potterfans will shell out their money for anything that has the HP logo on it. So why not?
>How come there's no Harry Potter anime adaptation? Draco doesn't become Harry's ally ever and becomes pointless by the 5th book. Ginny a shit and a whore. Ron only shines by himself in the 7th book. He's a jealous insecure prick most of the time. Why is Luna in that picture? Neville only shines twice in the series. The only two characters that matter are Harry and Hermione, and it showed when Rowling originally wrote for them to get together.
Owen Diaz
Because there were movies? It'd just be the same ground covered but with everyone speaking Japanese and probably a couple of tweaks to make Harry Potter an even bigger harem attractor than he already was.
Colton Parker
because Luna a cute
Nicholas Campbell
This series would have been much better if it was remade with Japanese tropes. Draco would be an ally, other houses would be more relevant, etc. >no Harry on Firebolt vs Voldemort in cloak form That's why the 8th film was so underwhelming, the fights were crap.
Logan Collins
You're talking about a media form that often guts smaller side elements to focus on the main plot. Those houses would have equal screentime to the movies we got.
Aaron Myers
Some faggots deluding themselves ITT. If they made a Harry Potter anime it would be BL
Ayden Hughes
>implying the harry potter movies didn't bastardize the books >implying hermione wasn't given ron's lines and plot towards the end >implying a better adaption couldn't be made
THE GOBLET HAIRRYRYRYRYHR
Jackson Baker
That's why I said remade, right? The original had Draco do all these stupid life-ending decisions just because Harry kept one-upping him at school. At no point did he mature and get over it.
DA was also something Rowling didn't expand upon. It's just an engine to pin Dumbledore and an excuse for Cho to kiss him. Anime being big on SoL would be very nice to dedicate 1-2 eps on DA shenanigans.
Kayden Green
Since fujos have deep wallets and the nips can clearly see western feminists rule the western world, its not so far fetched.
Ayden Phillips
8th film? I thought that there's only 6 books and one film per book.
I only watched until the fifth (?) film and read only one book, the one where ____Dumbledore dies_____________. I was confused when spoiler didn't happen in the last film I watched.
Lucas White
Oh yeah because Japan never had a character doing stupid life-ending decisions just because the protagonist keeps one upping him. Not at all.
Joseph Parker
Why do you care? >actually liking harry potter You 14 years old, a girl or both?
Aiden Carter
Good, Harry and Malfoy had an infinitely more interesting dynamic than Harry and Ginny
Colton Watson
They split the last book into two movies. Same as how the Hobbit split it's book into three movies. People are pretty greedy in that industry.
Jaxon Ramirez
this honestly. She needed more screentime.
Josiah Baker
7th book was split in two.
Sasuke wasn't envious of Naruto at all and I dropped it during the first TS arc. What I'm saying is that the HP anime could get the best tropes of both worlds and completely remake the series from the ground up.
Exactly. No need to turn it into BL trash though.
Jordan Turner
I'm a nine year old girl like everyone else on Sup Forums silly! Though people say I'm mature for my age
Joseph Parker
Because Harry Potter is a fucking asshole and the series has already been milked to death for two decades
Adrian Gonzalez
And what I'm saying is Sasuke and Draco are the same kind of character. Rather than the chance of them retconning him into an ally who matures or whatever they'd keep him the same, just as Sasuke kept the same path.
Jordan Adams
>keeping things the same I don't know if it would appeal in an honestly more niche form of entertainment. HP has been done to death in books and movies.
If anything the anime should do an anime original adaptation of HP.
Hey f@m I'm not part of nu-Sup Forums so forgive me if I don't remember every part of shounenshit.
Robert Sanchez
And entirely change a character? At most they tend to paint a character either more or less heroically than in the books, not entirely change the character and his alignment. At least not characters who are central to the plot.
Angel Wright
Who are the top left two characters meant to be?
Austin Edwards
Nigga, most fans of hp are probably in their 20s by now
Charles Evans
>And entirely change a character? Why not? An anime-original story would be a better take than just an anime adaptation of HP. You're also not getting it. I'm not saying an HP anime WILL be anime-original, I'm saying being anime-original will be better received than just being another adaptation. What you're saying is that there's no chance of an HP anime being anime original, which doesn't argue against my point whatsoever.
Leo Reyes
Hermion Granger and Ronie Weasly
Jason Russell
Anglos believe witches and wizards came from them despite they steal the concept from Germans.
Gavin Clark
Probably JK Rowling not wanting to license her baby off to an evil male fantasy-friendly medium that objectifies women.
It would fit right in, though. Adapting crappy LNs is in vogue now so adapting a crappy foreign book series isn't too out there.
Bentley Sanders
there's nothing wrong with not remembering everything. but you have to expect to be corrected if you say something wrong. especially on this Sup Forumsutism board
Ethan Perry
>will be better recieved That's bullshit, though. You can't say that for sure. I mean for one you're saying change Draco in such a manner (make him an ally) that ruins Snape's own story and complexity as well as the whole Dumbledore greying situation. And for what? Another generic "heh we're not friends, we're rivals, friend" character?
Connor Reed
The English concept of witchcraft is heavily based on Celtic religious figures and practices, not whatever the Krauts have.
Liam Nguyen
>change Draco in such a manner (make him an ally) that ruins Snape's own story and complexity as well as the whole Dumbledore greying situation. What do you think HP's genre would be if it became anime? Wouldn't it be shounen? Then wouldn't it make sense to change to story to be that way? Snape's story is also very overrated and arrived to late for the payoff.
>Another generic "heh we're not friends, we're rivals, friend" character? You act like HP is a paragon of writing even compared to anime. It's practically an isekai, where Harry gets to live in a fantastical world and finds out he was a big shot compared to the people living in that fantastical world.
Landon Rogers
You think Snape's story is overrated but not generic anime rival #132123? Also I'm not defending anything nor acting like HP is a paragon of shit. I hate Rowling's work, but I've always liked the setting. What I'm saying is it's stupid the way people are gushing over an anime adaption theoretically being far superior or some shit, but coming up with generic tropes so overplayed I'd rather they stick with the original if it were ever made.
Nathan Nguyen
Incorrect. Anglo Witches/Wizards are healy inspired by Celtic myth.
Parker Jones
Did you miss the post where I said that in order for my shit to work, the anime has to take the good tropes from both sides of the world? I bet you did or else you wouldn't be sperging out right now.
Xavier Parker
>How come there's no Harry Potter anime adaptation? Rowling. And although I would love to see multy-season 24+ episodes adaptation, it won't happen. And it would be probably handled by Toei and the worst designs/animation ever - see new Sailor Moon.
Evan Diaz
actually kill yourself OP.
Ethan Peterson
I also read the part where you said "Draco could be an ally" which is the main thing we are arguing about, you retard.
Jose Sanchez
Commercial Wars. It's seen as Holywood material, and JK Rowling is basically a feminist.
Samuel Wright
In another universe, there is a series of HP movies done by Ghibli.
Logan Fisher
You don't think an anime adaptation could make it work? Of course going anime original means liberties in the plot.
Joshua Perez
>And it would be probably handled by Toei That's not a bad thing in itself, is it?
Colton Thompson
In another universe, there is a series of HP movies done by Shaft.
