Has there ever actually been a decent anime/manga adaption of a /tv/ or /co/ series? Does Japan just ruin every Western franchise it gets a hold of?

Howl's Moving Castle was pretty good I think, it's been a while.
Ghibli fucked up Earthsea, though.

>>139011789
Supernatural was a great /x/ series, fuck you.

Anyway, Highlander wasn't terrible, PPGZ was bad but had cute lolis, and RWBY's manga has done nothing with itself, but at least the art can be decent.

Howl's Moving Castle is a Western story? I never knew.

Your opinion suddenly doesn't count.

Name another one even half as good as it. No X-Files, that's cheating.

Daredevil anime when?

Just because there's no competition doesn't mean it's good you retard.

Buffy has better characters and deals with the paranormal far better then Supernatural ever did and it's supposed to be a vampire drama.
>>
>>139012532
No. Forgettable at best.
>>
>>139012416
Edge of Tomorrow wasn't so bad, although you can hardly call it an adaption.
>>
>>139012416
Wasn't Pacific Rim an adaption of something?
>>
>>139012627
No.
>>
>>139012627
It was inspired by big monsters and big robots.
>>
>>139012579
I actually forgot all about that, but it was pretty good. Still worse than the source material but enjoyable for what it was. That's probably the only adaptation of some Japanese media I'd recommend to somebody else.

>>139012627
Nope, completely original, or at least an homage to kaiju stuff. Del Toro is a huge weeaboo though, so at least he has some respect for what he's working with.

Disk Wars, PPGZ, and Stitch! were decent

Iron Man was great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_ej7ZlS2oQ
Sadly, that's only the trailer. The actual anime was shit, we'll never see Koike's Iron Man.

Inception was good and it was the inspiration from paprika

That was dub only bro. The dub was heavily censored and edited

https://youtu.be/FjKdVgFuUCg
>>
>>139013038
Wait, her leaving Stitch for her boyfriend was the censored one? Did she died?
>>
>>139013107
The anime is an alternate universe where Stitch crash-lands in Japan instead of Hawaii. Lilo is never mentioned in the original except for one of the last episodes but only because Disney ask Japan to animate an episode that fits in with the dub continuity
>>
>>139011868
Howl's Moving Castle basically gutted the book. But as a standalone movie it's still fun.

According their wiki she was just late to a meeting because Nani was going into labor and Stitch got buttmad and ran away.

Eathsea's problem was not doing the main story of the first book in the series. Hell, the one where he has to go into the cold shadow world was better than the dragon bit. Feh. Waste of a great source, and how often do we even get someone pulling from western mythos? Feh.

I need to rewatch Howl's and get over my middle school self's anger at not getting a faithful adaptation.

Batman Gotham Knight was pretty good

>>139013835
To be fair, most Batman adaptions have been good. It's just a fun series to adapt.

Buffy > all the subsequent paranormal shit that came out afterwards.

Never read the LN for Edge of Tomorrow but I was blown away by the movie. Went in with super low expectations and walked away pretty happy with what I saw.

Power Rangers

>>139014151
All You Need Is Kill (Edge of Tomorrow) was honestly not great, atleast not the manga adaption. It doesn't go into anything like the movie, it's just an edgy Groundhog Day with no real resolution in terms of the aliens.

>>139014173
Power Rangers is based off the Japanese Super Sentai Series

The Spiderman manga is rather weird but still very interesting, maybe because it is clearly targeted at an older audience than you would think, would recommend it to anyone

The RWBY manga is decent.
I just like discussing the cute girls with /a/. /co/ is full of fags.

So what's a western property that /a/ thinks would make a good anime? Meaning you think it would do well in Japan as well as America.
How would you handle it if you were in charge?

Personally, I think Japanese people would dig "Red Hood and the Outlaws"

I'd want an adaptation from something with a potentially interesting premise but shitty execution.

That way, if it sucks I won't be disappointed that they ruined something I liked. And if it's great, that's good too, even if they go wildly off script/topic. Kind of like Edge of Tomorrow.
