If you could "co produce" a anime, what would it be?

[Lego]

Recently we've been seeing a lot of US companies listed in the credits of airing Japanese shows. For instance companies like Geneon(only mentioning due to the list of titles they pre licensed) put down some money to help the show get made. Often times we hear about shows that wouldn't be possible without some sort of funding from a R1 company. So it got me thinking about shows that I would "co produce" if I had Bill Gates type of money heh. The show could be a add on to a existing one(such as a new season or movie), or based on a manga or something else heh.

For me, it would be:

Victorian Romance Emma - Funding so it could finally finish the manga story heh. The original series was set to be 36 episodes, but they ran out of sponsors and money.

Planetes - a OVA that deals with <span style='color:#dddddd;background:#dddddd'>Hachi coming back from Jupiter and life with Tanabe and his kid heh. </span>

As for manga properties

Yotsuba! - This explains itself heh

[Dagger]

Existing series:

- A second season of Loveless
- A third season of Rozen Maiden
- A third season of Big O. I liked the ending of season 2, but since Chiaki Konaka apparently did have an idea for season 3, I want to see what he had in mind.
- Another Hunter x Hunter OVA (with good animation &amp; the TV series director!).
- The Fafner sequel OVA that they kept talking about but which never really materialized. &gt;_&gt;
- A Kaleido Star movie... if only to see Sora &amp; co. with movie-quality animation.
- More Mushishi
- More Victorian Romance Emma

New manga adaptations:

- Banana Fish
- Yotsubato
- A Tokyo Babylon TV series

Other stuff:

- A Death Note spin-off called "Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Misa."

And... that's all I can really think of at the moment, heh. Ideally, all of the shows in the second list would be done by either BONES or Kyoto Animation. /images/graemlins/sdsmiley.gif

[sher59]

A second season of Haunted Junction
A second season of Genshiken
A third season of Ai Yori Aoshi
Anime adaptions of the various Gundam Wing manga
A second season of Yami No Matsui

[Collectonian]

Hmmm...I'd want to do a adaptation of the MARS manga, for new stuff, and another season of Gunslinger Girl for existing properties.

Same.

Apprently one of the higher ups in AS didnt like The Big O beating his shows in the ratings, so he told them not to Co-Pro another series, and since it did better in the west than in Japan, it was left where it is.

The show of stuff I would co-produce/fund.

- A restored version of Sexy Commando Masaru-san and why not a second season

- Same thing with D4 Princess

- A new Elfen Lien TV/OVA serie that would follow the manga plot

- Same thing for Naru Taru

- High budget OAV/TV of Blame or a Noise(a short story taking centuries before Blame) movie

- A GUMMN TV serie (Of course unlike the OAV Yukito Kishiro would have full control of it)

- The ending of Fairy Princess Rane

This seems to be turning into (mostly) a "what do you want someone to produce more of?" thread. However, I have answers to that so here goes. If I had millions to spend on anime production, I'd put them toward . . .

more Boogiepop
more Kino no Tabi

. . . lots of novels there to adapt, and the existing anime was done really well, so I'd get as many of the same people together as I could.

[kimmiepooh]

I would love to help with anything having to do with an English translation for the dub of Sailor Stars, providing someone were to (finally) acquire the rights to this show. /images/graemlins/catgirl0.gif

[masterpez]

I would love to start a second season of Beck which would begin after episode 25 of the first season. That way, the things that were brushed over in the final episode could be properly animated.

As for making an adaptation of a manga....every manga that I've ever wanted to be turned into an anime has (with varying results), or will. The last one that I'm anticipating is NHK ni Youkoso, which should air sometime this year. With that said, I'd want to sponsor it with enough money inorder to get it to air on a network that wouldn't censor it, or cause the animators to skip over chapters from the manga that are "too hot for tv". This series has some moments in it that are twisted, disturbing, and utterly hilarious (chapter 23 for example) all at the same time and I'd hate to see them left out of the anime version.

[Chiyosuke]

- More Kareshi Kanojou no Jijo (His and Her Circumstances)
- More Juni Kokki (The 12 Kingdoms)
- there's more, but I'm suffering from a brainfart ATM)

[Njr Scrawl]

Evangelion. Either or both ends of the story.

Prequel: Gehrin, Yui's pre-Gendou days. Dr Katsuragi's family. Second Impact &amp; what caused it in detail with background.

Sequel: After EoE. Shinji &amp; Asuka in a brave new world. Anyone comes back? Will they be changed from the experience? How much? Rei still around?

[Futaba-chan]

<ul type="square"> a Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind TV series (or four big-budget live-action movies), covering the entire story from the manga
a Please Save My Earth TV series, covering the rest of the manga
Angel Sanctuary TV, picking up from the end of the OAV, or possibly starting over from scratch to get around the OAV having been so rushed
a Strawberry Shake adaptation
a Pieta adaptation
an adaptation of Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World or something else by Murakami
more Suzumiya Haruhi
more Kashimashi
animated versions of Misfile, The Saga of Tuck, The Wotch, or the like
a resurrection of ADV's cancelled adaptation of Mutineer's Moon
other good Western literary SF on the screen: Altered Carbon, Singularity Sky, The Golden Age, Hyperion, and so forth. I'd settle for entertaining space opera like Miles Vorkosigan or Honor Harrington in a pinch.

Basara. It deserved a better anime adaptation than what it got.

I'd also like to see an anime adaptation of Harry Potter, the Abhorson trilogy (the Keys to the Kingdom series looks very anime-adaptable as well), Airborn &amp; Skybreaker and Tamora Pierce's books.

[Gonfreaks]

Victorian Romance Emma -I'd love to see more of the manga/all of the manga animated. I loved the series, and wished it lasted for its planned run.

Honey and Clover III- Yes, I know the second season hasn't even started airing yet, but I just know I'll want more than 13 additional episodes /images/graemlins/cry00000.gif

Genshiken Second Season - If the rumor about it actually having a second season planned (instead of KujiUn TV) actually pans out, then I'll be very happy. Otherwise, I'll keep wishing for more.

Manga to be made into anime-
20th Century Boys - There are a couple parts I'd love to see in motion, and I think the series itself would benefit from an anime.

Hikaru no Go - Finish it up! Probably another movie to finish the series. I hated the manga ending, but I'm desperate for ANY type of new Hikago. I miss it /images/graemlins/cry00000.gif

Gyakuten Saiban - Not a manga, but I'd LOVE an anime made of it. The games are so much fun, and an anime would fit perfectly - each case could be a 5-6 episode arc, with each season being each of the games (and the DS case from the port of the first game made as a movie /images/graemlins/catgirl0.gif). I want it so badly...

Hahhah I was thinking about that while reading Keys of the Kingdom series... hahah.. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Mainly 12 Kingdoms and anime adapation of Tokyo Crazy Paradise, skip beat ,and kurosagi(they have some of it during the opening sequence of the live action so just make the damn anime so we don't have to suffer so much suspension of belief(the dude looks the same and 20 no matter who he disguises himself as...)

[something]

Suzumiya to Fujioka no Host Club - Haruhi and Haruhi as co-presidents.

Or maybe Suzumiya Haruhi no <font color="red">Na</font>ku Koro Ni. She'd be a great psychokiller, and watching her kill the rest of the cast six six times over (or hell, them all just killing each other) would never get old. Mikuru's revenge would be the best arc.

I'd love an anime of that too. I think it would work pretty well for the same reason that it's exciting to watch an anime like Fighting Spirit - you'd have the interesting character and drama build up.

A second season of Haunted Junction


[/ QUOTE ]

Woah, another Haunted Junction fan. Don't run into those every day.

There's the obvious answer of more Fighting Spirit and Berserk. Those two take precedence over everything else.

I'd also love to see continuations of Nadesico and Irresponsible Captain Tylor, as well as more Psychic Academy and Midori Days.

I'd co-produce adaptations of some of my favorite manga and manhwa - Firefighter, Bring it On!, Priest, Imperfect Hero, Hana-Kimi.

From American sources - a Cerebus anime would be cool, as would one based on The Wheel of Time.

Original - I'd do something completely over the top. Get a competent team together and make a show that does nothing but buck the status quo. It'd be a completely new series, not tied down by being based on anything. There'd be crazy action, people would die -even established, well fleshed out characters - and it wouldn't be just for the sake of killing them. I hate it when there's a situation where a character could die, or not die entirely on the whim of the writer. ("Oh, no! The medicine didn't make it on time!" VS *Cough, sputter* "He's alive!") When characters die, it should make sense, and it should mean something.

New people would show up, things would change. Places would be destroyed. They'd build new ones. Or maybe they wouldn't. People would fall in love. They'd fall out of love. They'd move on. Or maybe they wouldn't. People would change - they would BE changed. They would be tempted to do things that would make everything different, just as characters often are in anime. But in this series there would be a chance that they might actually DO them. There would be repercussions. Nothing would be safe - especially not the writers. I've seen TOO MANY shows where the writer was in a safe little rut - things happen, but at the end of the day, everything is the same as it was yesterday. This series would not be that way. It would be different.

Let's use one of my favorite series as a bad example. Midori Days was great - (spoilers ahoy!) but it ended just as things were getting GOOD. <span style='color:#dddddd;background:#dddddd'> What happened after Midori went back to her own body? What of the other love interests? Did whatsisname get accepted by her mother? Can he deal with how wealthy she is? What of his sister? I wanted DEVELOPMENT, and all I got was a minute long musical epilogue. Don't get me wrong - that series had some really well done gradual character development. But to go once around the track and then reset everything to how it was before - why?!? And why not deal with the outcome, either way? Why do writers never tackle this kind of stuff! It drives me crazy!</span>

So, that's the way I'd go. It'd be quite a grand adventure (or a spectacular failure).

[Shsway]

An Angelic Days (Evangelion) TV series with all or most of the elements found in proper romantic comedies (yes, some shallow misunderstandings and fanservice included in the bargain). The show itself would be based on some of the ideas found in episode 26 of the original series, but unlike the manga, much money would be poured into getting Sadamoto back to do the character designs. Since Anno probably wouldn't want to come back to do this, I'd recommend hiring Negishi Hiroshi to direct, and for the screenplay...you know, I'd love to have Konaka Chiaki, but if I wanted to tap into parties that have already been involved in some way with the original work, Enokido Yoji would do, in combination with someone who would help tame his crazy plot tangents a bit. Someone like Yokote Michiko (Yes!)

Edit: I was just thinking how hard (and expensive) it might be to get Sadamoto back. In that case, my second choice would be Abe Hisashi, who has proven himself quite good at adapting to someone else's character art.

[Chiyosuke]

You do know Sadamoto is a GAiNAX employee right? /images/graemlins/sweat000.gif

[DKL]

I recently read some manga from this guy and:

Any Ryoichi Ikegami franchise animated by Madhouse and directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri

It would be awesome

I would co produce the following:

-Create a second season of Fruits Basket that fhinishes where the manga ends.
-Produce an adaption of the Alice 19th manga
-Produce an adaption of Hana Kimi manga
-Give a blank cheque to Shinkai Makoto and Kon Satoshi to make a 24/26 eposide tv series on any idea they want.

[itsuka]

I would like to adapt the Mars manga into anime. It would probably take about 50 episodes to do it well. Don't need to change anything, since the story got it all. I'm sure Studio Pierrot could do a great job on this.

Next, I'd like to tackle Iron Wok Jan. My ideas for adaptation would not be the entire manga, but only until the first juvenile chef competition (which is the best part anyway). Further, contrary to the path the manga took later, I would want to flesh out the main characters more and make them less stereotype.

And then I'd want to chat up Maeda and see how he feels about an adaptation of Roger Zelazny's Amber novels. Since Maeda did such a great job with the count of Monte Christo, I'm sure it will be an interesting adaptation. I'd give him free reign, and tell him not to worry about demographics at all.

Rurouni Kenshin: Jinchuu TV series animated by Studio Gallop with animation director/character designer Hideki Hamasu

and finally, with a 100 Million dollar budget.

So what is more real Rozen Maiden coming? I remember a thread awhile back about it, but please tell me this Kunkun thing isn't the OVA it mentioned &gt;_&lt;, and that there's something more important on the way.

Great idea, as I feel the same, but the series should include other characters who's story lines weren't followed through.

However, if this were to occur, I would fear for how they treat Ichigo's with her behavior and attitude. It bothered me somewhat to see her go from a sweet, gentle girl in Please Teacher to a rather annoying busybody in Please Twins

Also, they should have Matagu Shido finally find himself a girlfriend, I say that it should be Mizuho's mom, Hatsuho. She should come back to Earth to visit Mizuho and Kusanagi, and Matagu sees her and falls in love with her, and she at first takes advantage of him, later on falling for him. Although I can see Maho being rather annoyed by him like she was with Kusanagi

Or with the other characters such as Masaomi Yamada and Koishi Herikawa, how have they been.

What about Mizuho and Kusanagi, did they finally have children and how are they?

Even Hyosuke Magumo and Kaede Misumi how has their relationship worked out so far.

Also, this needs to be at least 26 episodes, 13 episodes is too short.

I would really like to make another season of Fruits Baskets, Beserk, or Kenshin. It would also be intersting to see tv series made out of Angel Sanctuary and Vampire Hunter D. Ai Yori Aoshi I would produce an OVA seeing Kaoru and Aoi happily married at the end.

Well, there's plenty of continuations that I might want, but at the same time I tend to feel that once a show's done it's DONE. (This is why I'm willing to let Angelic Days live but don't need more Evangelion from its original universe - it's said what it needs to say.)

Otherwise, let's try the project I keep hyping :

Its and Hers Circumstances. (http://bibulb.livejournal.com/54257.html)

For some reason i'm really digging the idea of an anime version of ABC'S hit series LOST. I think Gainax would be eprfect for the job. The show is very strange and has a lot of mysteries to it, what with the plane crash the monster the hatch and all the "Other" stuff thats been going on over the last two seasons.

[PattyLane]

If I could "co-produce" an anime, it would be to do anime adaptions of Tomoko Taniguchi's stories "Call Me Princess" and "Just a Girl" because they were cute shoujo stories, and I'd love to see animated versions of them. While her work didn't get much press here past "Call Me Princess", Taniguchi is one of my favorite manga creators.

We'd want to know what happened <span style='color:#dddddd;background:#dddddd'>going to, arriving at, exploring the moons &amp; coming back from Jupiter. How people got along etc.

So Hachi telling Ai in flashback maybe.</span>

Then the 2nd half of series 2, dealing with a new mission, say to Saturn &amp; all the pulls of whether to go, or not - with or without his family etc. Hachi's brother would be old enough to become spacecrew/astronaut by then.

[Lego]

Yep, I really wish there was more, but what can ya do.I would really like to see a more <span style='color:#dddddd;background:#dddddd'>grown up Tanabe with kid, and seeing how Hachi and her react to each other when he got back. </span> I wouldn't mind seeing more Black Lagoon then the 12 episode series we're getting at the moment.

Fruits Basket (at least a 2nd season, maybe more)

I'm actually of the opinion that a second season of Fruba would not be as successful as the first season. This is becasue the manga after volume 9 where the anime material ends is of a differnet tone and feel than the previous volumes were. I think an audience who was expecting soemthing the same as season 1 would be disappointed in the change of tone that the show would have to remain consistent with the manga. Also the anime makes a couple of big changes that would be hard to reconcile with the manga. Of course the show was a big success in Japan and since from what i've read it looks like the next Volume may be the last one perhaps theya re waiitng for the story to come to a conclusion before they work on another animated production.

Yeah, but only--and this should be stipulated in the Japanese contract--if Misty Daniels can be compelled to come back to New York for the English dub. /images/graemlins/wink.gif (Or get Luci Christian to fill in for her...)

That idea has potential but I'd so be afraid they'd mess it up somehow. But then again, Square Enix didn't do so bad on the CG for the Playstation version so maybe it'd be okay.

If it used 2-D animation that utilized computer coloring to make it look like Amano's paintings in motion, it'd be the most amazing show ever! XD

[/ QUOTE ]

I completely agree! A Final Fantasy VI Tv Series would be so awesome! 2D animation can look awesome, especially if they lend Amano's gritty hand-painted texture the SNES game depicted so well (and unfortunately lost in the PSX CG sequences). Plus the existing soundtrack is already awesome, but if it is orchestrated like the Grand Finale and Piano albums, it's set!

Beyond that, if I could ... I would do:

• Magna Carta - both games, perhaps tying the first to the second. In Korean English and Japanese vocals, and English subs.
• The entire Sakura Taisen franchise - bring the video game portions of the story to the screen in anime form.
• Breath of Fire IV - with all its international cultural elements and animalistic styles.
• Priest, the manga.
• Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, Warrior Within, and Two Thrones - 3 OVAs, 1 game each
• DragonHalf - more Mink!!!
• American McGee's Alice - done in British English, and don't forget the doctor's journal!
• Tokyo Babylon
• Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events - Ugh! Hollywood violated the Baudelaires more than Count Olaf. Need to deCarreyfy it!
• Ibara
• PetShop of Horrors - include the rest of the manga!

[SeraphMichael]

If I could make the decision for a company to be co-produce a anime, I think I would go with a 3x3 EYES TV series. Yokohama Shopping Log TV, movie adaptations of the 2nd and 3rd Shin KOR novels, or a Robot Carnival sequel would also be nice.

[Treiz]

A 50 episode Gundam series with Tomino.

[meganly_chan]

For anime:

4th season of Slayers, or at least one new film
Kare-Kano, to wrap everything up properly with a few extra episodes or OVA

For manga:

The Wallflower, to turn into an anime
Mama Colle, to turn into anime

[Suzaku Seikun]

I would co-produce:

A second season of Fruits Basket.
A third season of Ai Yori Aoshi to cover the rest of the manga.
A fourth season of Kenshin to cover the Jinchuu Arc, so we can ignore Reflections.
A second season of Kare Kano to cover the rest of the manga.
An adaptation of the Ceres Gaiden novels.
An adaptation of the Alice 19th manga.
An adaptation of the Fushigi Yugi Genbu Kaiden manga.
More seasons of Inu-Yasha.
More episodes of Getbackers.
