There are so many incredible anime out there, but also so many incredible manga series that should seriously be made into an anime. What manga series would you like to see animated? For me, it's +Anima. It's a fairly short series, only 10 books, but it's my favorite manga. For those who don't know, +Anima is about four children who are all +Anima, which means that they can change a part of their body into that of an animal. Bird +Anima can grow wings, fish +Anima can turn their legs into a fish tail, like a mermaid. Bear/cat/dog +Anima can bring out claws. That kind of thing. The series is just about these four children, Cooro (crow), Husky (fish), Nana (bat) and Senri (bear) traveling together and trying to find a place where they belong in a society where their kind is shunned. There's not really an ongoing plot, but the stories are cute, the characters are likable, and the idea is amazing. I really wish that this was an anime. Alas, I don't think I'll ever be able to see Senri being portrayed in animation *sigh*.
Oh, that +Anima sounds good. I especially like the fact that it has no overarching story and maybe focuses more on character relationships and disconnected situations. Plus, the 'shunned by society' thing can be pretty intriguing if done well. Anyways, on to 'manga I wish to see as anime', I'd say: - Tokyo Ghoul. Yes, this will never happen. I know we already had an anime adaptation, but let's be honest, that wasn't Tokyo Ghoul. In fact, that wasn't Kaneki. Kaneki was still a tremendously kind spirit, a good-hearted person, in the second half of the manga; and all that was lost in 'Root A' which was utter bullshit. - Flying Witch. There's already an anime, and it's so well-done! It's basically an slice of life about a young witch who doesn't really care much about being a witch, the 'problems' are really just mundane stuff, there's no real sense of danger, and it focuses mostly on the stuff they do and the relationship between characters. It's bright and cheerful! - Gal to Otaku wa Wakari Aenai. There's just like one volume out in english. It's basically a 'gal' that secretly loves idols. Otonashi is an 'otaku', but she also has a secret—spoiler: she's the idol the 'gal' loves—and so then she discovers that her classmate Otonashi is actually her idol, and well, it's a really funny and cute yuri. And I'm sure there'd be more if I had actually read more manga. But all manga in my 'to read' list is actually because I've watched the anime adapatation hah.
