Anime Thigh Thread II

[Suicidal Panda]

What's a god to a non-believer?

A non-existent being?

[crimson]

Burn the heretic.

The one true god is Onii-sama

Is live action Chitanda at least half as cute as the original?

It's sad because it's true!

What is your most desired manga adaptation?

If your favorite (non-adapted) manga was to receive an anime adaptation, what would your hopes be for it?

Any particular studio or director in kind?

What about the artstyle?

A particular composer?

Would you prefer that the series be adapted in seasonal chunks as the manga is being published, like SnK or BnHA, or would you rather wait until the series is almost done before it receives a continuous adaptation like FMA:B?

Who would you like to voice each character?

Personally, I'd be absolutely HYPED like a child opening presents on Christmas day for Gunka no Baltzar to receive an anime adaptation, preferably by Studio Bones or Studio WIT, and directed by Yasuhiro Irie (who directed FMA:B). Given the grounded nature of the setting, detailed uniforms and backgrounds, and character focused plot, it would be interesting to see what a Kyoto Animation adaptation would look like (if they even considered it, since KyoAni doesn't seem to be in the business of adapting manga for long stretches of time). Would probably look like the most amazing on-screen portrayal of Prussian awesomeness since The Legend of the Galactic Heroes, possibly even more awesome. An OLM Inc adaptation (the guys behind the 1997 Berserk adaptation) would also be great... if they still had the guys who were responsible for producing that adaptation, that is. Production I.G. from the Seirei no Moribito adaptation could also work as an alternative.

Anyways, given Akira Senju's amazing orchestral score for FMA:B, I have no doubt that the soundtrack of GnB would be safe in his hands. Along with Yasuhiro Irie, he'd be able to capture the peaceful country-side life of Basseland and the Norden-Trade Duchy, the cacophony of organized military battles, the dread of sweeping artillery fire, and the sorrow of the surviving soldiers as the reminiscent over their fallen brothers. He's the perfect composer for GnB!

The series - like FMA:B - switches between highly detailed, realistically proportioned characters in a military environment, to chibi characters during lighthearted and comedic gags and when explaining battle tactics. If Yasuhiro Irie was responsible for storyboarding FMA:B's perfect comedic timing and use of chibi characters, then he's my man for directing a GnB adaptation. It helps that GnK is paced and tonally similar to FMA:B anyways, so there's that. Chalky or watercolor backgrounds would work wonders for GnB's antiquated era.

As for voices, I think it would be wonderful to hear GnB be voiced by actual German VAs for authenticity's sake, but since I'm talking about an English dub and I have no idea if it's even possible to get German VAs to dub GnB in English (so I can hear a story that takes place in fantasy Prussia be voiced by Germans in understandable English...), I'll just list the typical Western dub VAs I'd love to hear.

Dream English VAs for GnB adaptation:

Spoiler: 

- Matthew Mercer as Major Bernd Baltzar


- Patrick Seitz as Reiner August Winklefeldt


- Lucien Dodge as Dieter Strunz


- Steve Staley as Ruldoph von Liebknecht


- Bruce Elliott as Hermann Groener


- Peter Beckman (Giliath Osborne from Falcom's LoH series) as Holst Von Stauffenberg


- Eric Vale (He does the bloodthirsty yet respectable warrior quite well) as Captain Nielsen

- Blythe Danner as the Empress of Ezreich

What is your most desired manga adaptation?

Chihayafuru completed or Boku wa Mari no Naka. The conclusion to Oregairu would be my LN pick.

[BloodyAngel12]

Komi-san wa komyushou desu

[Enjeh]

What is your most desired manga adaptation?

Maoujou de Oyasumi. made by either Doga Kobo or Kyoto Animation.

also Slow Motion wo Mou Ichido

[crimson]

I'd love myself some Mahouka season 2. And a season 3 and 4 while we're at it, one can never have enough Onii-sama. Or Mayumi.

Wouldn't mind Grand Blue getting an anime either.

also Slow Motion wo Mou Ichido

Or this.

[BloodyAngel12]

I need more Boku no Hero Acadamia, can not wait for Spring season 2018.

[Yunru]

I need more Boku no Hero Acadamia, can not wait for Spring season 2018.

Overlord 2
Second season of Saiki Kusuo no Ψ Nan.
Mod Psyho 100 OVA
Death March Kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku (huh another guy dies, wakes up in fantasy clone)
Hakumei to Mikochi (slice of life that doesnt seem to show boobies for once)
Killing Bites (furry anime..thats new) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_Bites
Ito Junji: Collection (huh)
Beatless (wana be nier automata)
Kokkoku (ZA WARUDO)

[Asetotti]

Manga: Boku wa Mari no naka, Yasashii sekai no tsukurikata, World Embryo

as added extra, Girls und Panzer: Phase.Erika




VN adaptation I want see: Umineko no naku koro ni Chiru (shocker, I know, mostly out of curiosity and couple of scenes I'd love to see animated.)

[Simplex]

It's been a good couple of years since I've read Shin Angyo Onshi and a reread is way overdue to say the least, but it was enjoyable, that much I remember. I think it deserves a proper (there's a movie) adaptation. And since I cheated and named a manhwa...

How's it possible Vinland Saga still doesn't have an anime.

I've wanted a Psyren anime for a long damn time now so, I'll just go with that.

I would love to see Psyren animated, but probably not in it's entirety as the axing was pretty rough

[Zatheyll]

Kaguya-sama
Murcielago

and of course

Ookami Shounen wa Kyou mo Uso wo Kasaneru

[Habanero-tan]

I feel like the manga that I would choose, Dungeon Meshi, is a manga that would definitely be adapted to an anime one day. The other one I'd like to see is Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku.

This is mostly because these are the only manga I've read that haven't already been adapted into anime.

[Zatheyll]

Death March kara Hajimaru Isekai Kyousoukyoku.

That's getting adapted next season.
