Ah, too bad I can't read most of that. But maybe there are some titles to look up.

I think a Rewrite anime adaptation would be nice.

[Marcus H.]

Googling 141 titles to translate is a massive ordeal.
Fortunately, most of these series can be googled up.

#43 is Dungeon Meshi.

[Nivek von Beldo]

no 666 Satan? Japan bad taste is eternal.

[felix]

A few of these look interesting. Some look whatever-mainstream-junkfood (there's practically two fate series there, so it doesn't even take effort to see it). Most—–- can't be bothered to look though. That list is way too big! You might as well call it a index. If I were to be generous I'd say we get about 12 series per season that get the no-complaints treatment (not that others are bad, just not something you want if you REALLY want a series to get a show). So that list is like 3 years worth, give or take. You might as well go to one of those random sites and order by rank and you'd probably get something similar.

well whatever Personally would like to see 転生したら剣でした (aka. TenKen or Sword-bro), some more No Game, No Life would be nice too (there's plenty of 2nd/3rd/4th/Xth season there so I'm not cheating).

[kona~chan]

no Tenshi to Akuto!!, no shinohayu either in the list , that's sad.

33．『ぐらんぶる』 （GRAND BLUE)

Kona-chan just memed a Grand Blue adaptation into reality.

[kona~chan]

wow, just like that, and my wish being granted

[TnAdct1]

#73 is Yotsuba&!

[bakato]

PSYREN is way past its expiration date. Fate definitely. Strange is only a matter of time. Surprised to see Alive still kicking. I recall there were plans to adapt this nearly a decade ago, but the company fell off the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

[GreyZone]

Can't find "Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken" despite it being regularily high up in terms of first week sales both in LN and manga form... either I didn't search for the correct moonrunes, or this list is not credible.

Not just any company, it was Gonzo. They were bankrupt at that point (granted they've returned to financial stability since, but they've lost much of their old lustre).

On the plus side, an Alive anime now will have a proper ending to it. Plus they could promote as coming from the creators of Noragami (and the late Kawashima Tadashi).

Isn't that an old story - the mangaka doesn't want to see the series subjected to the objectification of young girls driving the anime business these days?

I'd watch it. I rather enjoyed the little of the manga I read.

And wait people actually requested a 10Dance anime?! I need this in my life, but there's not really enough material for an anime.

[Fvlminatvs]

Damn. Vinland Saga is not on this list. I'm probably never going to see it adapted.

[Marcus H.]

Vinland Saga is 22．『ヴィンランド・サガ』(Kodansha)

[BPD Renegade]

21．『ヴァニタスの手記』(Square Enix)
Way too early for Vanitas to be adapted. It would just end up getting the Pandora Hearts treatment. Should focus on getting a good studio to remake/adapt the rest of PH first.

6．『Dr.STONE』by Riichiro Inagaki/Boichi (Shueisha)
They could probably adapt a cour, but best to wait until more material is out.

132．『約束のネバーランド』(Shueisha)
There's definitely enough for a good 12-13 episode season, maybe two cours in a few months. It's pretty popular, so I can see it getting an anime in the near future.


All that kanji/katakana is blurring my eyes. I'll try to reread this list later.

[Marcus H.]

I made an attempt to translate everything and list down the author and illustrator, but I need to avoid doing it in bulk or else my eyes will catch fire.
