Anna Karenina but turn Levin into a otaku neet and make him the mc.
>>143198970
Also replace the trains by trucks.
If you only mean one single novel, then I'd like an OVA production or movie of either The Forever War or Neuromancer. Something that could translate really well visually.
If we can do a series, then an long-term series of the Dresden Files. Simple, easy, already episodic.
It'd be like Patlabor, but without the robots.
Heart of Darkness, just because I'd be really curious to see how they could keep the theme and mood consistent with the book, and what the art-style would end up being.
Since the book is so grim, I imagine it'd end up being quite similar to some of the older stuff from the 80's or early 90's, since I can't think of a modern anime which is nearly as genuinely dark as this book.

On that note a 40k anime would be amazing, not that we will ever get it since gameshop holds onto the licensing of that like a fucking anaconda onto the last mouse on earth.
Not a novel but I wonder what Death of a Salesman would be like.
120 Days of Sodom
Diamond age. It has a loli, victorian dresses, and chinese you can consider evil. It could pass for a wn.
L'etanger
Notes from Underground
Partners in Crime by Agatha Christie. I want my geeky Jazz Age spy couple, dammit.
The Maltese Falcon. It's got all the makings of a great anime: adventure, fan service, homosexuals, etc.
>>143200104
Gosick was enough geeky spy/detective shit to last a lifetime, I don't need it to crossover with Baccano, I'd rather have it just go away already.
The only one I can think of is "The OuterNet"
Kid gets a laptop for his birthday, but then finds out its a computer from outerspace that can connect to a universe-sized wifi internet. He goes on adventures with a girl.

But Tommy and Tuppence are great. Maybe 'N or M?' would be better? It would probably be more unique, since you don't really see married, middle-aged spies that often.
I remember one anime with Poirot and Marple.
Somehow it got a little girl with a duck in it.
Sabriel (The Abhorsen series in General)
Not too long, could be done in roughly 12 episodes per book I'd say. Neat world mechanics, Necromancy is really cool in the series, and I could imagine some of the encounters being really fun to watch
The Lord Of the Rings trilogy
Hyperion Cantos.
>>143198362
My first pick is usually His Dark Materials, aka The Golden Compass series. It has everything you could want in an anime.

Wow, that's a surprisingly good idea.

>>143199850
you could get warham fantasy anime, since they killed the setting
>>143198362
I'd like to see the lord of the flies, but with boys and girls, a more mature and dark theme, and possibly a bad end.
But we could always go the harem route.
>>143200566
>Necromancy is really cool in the series
Go on.
Battletech, but only the first 50 novels.
Dickens' novels, especially Great Expectations. I want to see anime Biddy and Estella.
Some Kafka shorts would be nice.
>>143202335
It would be extremely painful.
Three Musketeers would be incredibly cozy.
>>143205435
It's already an anime.
On the Road, but everyone is a loli.
>>143205473
Well fuck me then. Enders Game.
A good Faust retelling like Mann's.Madoka was good but it barely qualifiesMight as well go all the way and say Death in Venice.
Other than that Thucydides' Peloponnesian War and Wagner's Ring Cycle would be 10/10s.
I'd pay money for a faithful adaptation in any visual media DESU.
Roadside Picmic
Hyperion
Candide
100 Years of Solitude
>>143198362
that one with the General rebelling against the royal family and killed them then shit gets real and magic shit happens, turns out the royal family is not the royal family and the real royal family is still alive, his son turns out also have magic and they they both fight the enemy.

La Gerusalemme Liberata.
Hands down.
Battlefield Earth
>>143198362
Don Quixote, the original chuuni story.
Make him and Sancho cute girls.
Make it absolutely straight-faced and factual with no sign of snark. But also emulate Toriko in showing people eating and how each particular preparation would be like a combo of 'Best Food X' + 'Best Food Y'.

There's always A Country Doctor.
>>143205710
But Rhaegar was a really good fighter at the same level of Arthur Dayne.
>>143206338
The Epic of Gilgamesh would make a great show, you've got rivals becoming best friends after a fight, a yandere, homolust/bromance depending on tour views, motivational speeches, SUFFERING andhand-holding
>>143206338
>at the same level of Arthur Dayne.
No he wasn't, he was skilled, sure, but not Dayne+Dawn skilled.
Barristan would probably be a more appropriate comparison.

A Canticle for Leibowitz
>>143198362
Anything Poirot. Or even And Then There Were None.
It would be awesome
Wheel of Time. It already has a harem too.
Os LusÃadas would make a great shounen anime. It's got adventure, gods, giants monsters battles, and a coerente plot line with a set beginning and end.

What's the name of that VA who did those crazy creepy-ass drawings while smiling?
I think these would be pretty cool. Good plot. Different stories going on in the background that eventually tie into the main story. Rogues, magic, sex and gore. What more could one ask for?
Grand in scope, contains dark humor, interesting characters, and has a lot of material.

>>143209518
I see where you're coming from. I found it as a breath of fresh air. Often times eras have multiple plots, many not connected with one another. At the same time the subplots that connect the books together manage to maintain the cohesiveness of the world.

His Dark Materials and Neuromancer are obligatory, of course. I'd also add a six episode OVA of The Blue Sword, a Dealing with Dragons adaptation, and A Swiftly Tilting Planet. (The most animu of L'Engle's output, with the possible exception of Many Waters.)
Oh yeah, and can't forget the Abhorsen Trilogy.
>>143199186
This.
Artemis Fowl
>>143204509
It's got a really unique mix of musical, true name, sigil, and elemental magic, with the requirement that to command or purge the dead, necromancers have to pass into death themselves and fight in the River.

LoTR/Hobbit, but Bilbo and Frodo are little girls. Everything else stays the same.
