With a reboot of the Hunter x Hunter franchise this year with the new 45+ episode series giving a more accurate telling of the manga (thats what i heard anyway, i haven't read it) and recently FMA getting similar treatment with FMA:B, what other series do people think should get a do-over, either for a more accurate telling of its original story or for a re-tell and continuation of the story?
for me, i'd go with a retell+continuation of GANTZ, with so many lame shounen comedy romances coming out of late a pull-no-punches series like GANTZ would really get me excited, and a continuation from where it left off would be great too, the original series really doesn't cover much of the series, not even the complete Phase 1 and the manga gets even better from where the anime left it |

Let's see.....pretty much any anime I had high hopes for but ended up sucking.
Tsukihime being the most obvious, And for anime series I liked and wouldn't mind either a continuation or a remake anyways...Tsukuyomi Moonphase. Seriously, what was up with the anime? It just ended so abrubtly! I suspect there must have been some internal development problems or something. 
And Trigun(base the anime on Ultimate). Rosario To Vampire... |

I've always wondered what people would do differently in a Tsukihime remake. I didn't see anything particularly bad in its adaption from VN to anime.
One show that would need it is DBZ. And I mean a real remake, not remastering like in Kai. Hokuto no Ken would be cool too, but I doubt modern design philosophies could do justice to its spirit. Other than that, Gundam F91 deserves at least a short OVA series, because the movie makes no sense at all. |

Well...Berserk is actually happening so my go to answer is out the window. A few alternate thoughts:
Vampire Hunter D. The movie is great and still holds up today but as I understand it there's so much more material. I'd love to see more of an extended, ongoing adaptation. Blame. I might be stretching the word reboot here since the little OVA was never actually intended as a real adaptation but it would be awesome and so I'm bending the rules. Battle Angel. Great little OVA. Why not do a full adaptation of the manga? Akira. As much as I like the original, a new, more faithful adaptation would be cool. Maybe do it as one of these six part movie series. Also, to be filed under 'Never gonna happen in a million years': Xenosaga. It's a shame that a game that was basically trying to be an anime actually got turned into an anime and yet the result wasn't very good. I still love this game though. The first one especially just felt like it had such amazing potential to expand into this massive, epic story. That never really happened (in the anime or in the games) so I'd love to see them do a huge, 100+ episode saga starting with the first game and eventually expanding it into something along the lines of the huge story it was originally envisioned as. |

Have you played the visual novel? Shiki's character is entirely different from the novel. Arcueid is written differently too. Some explanations are left out or glossed over. There are also problems with pacing. Besides it needs a bigger budget. I personally also don't feel that the adaptation deserves all the criticism it gets, but there's definitely a lot of room for improvement. |

Not to mention, crappy animation and badly drawn fights.

I read the main path for comparisons sake and almost to the of one other. I was more impressed with the anime myself, since over half of the story I thought to be needless filler. Boring to boot. It is a blessing that the anime isn't a straight adaption. It would turn out even more dragged out than KnK.
Shiki was a stock avatar and Arcueid I blame just for the transition from one medium to another.
That's just because VNs are constructed the way they are.
Still eons ahead of VN. |

@naninanino
Who said I want a straight adaptation? I want them get right what the vn got right and improve the places where the vn was bad. Shiki for example is much more of a stock avatar in the anime - just your standard hapless whiny ordinary high school student. In the vn he is much more likable since he's more laid back and his personality is better explored. About Arcueid, it's not the fault of transition if the anime partially fails to explain why Shiki fell in love with her. If you have the willingness you might want to compare Tsukihime anime and manga which I deem a much better adaptation. |

Well lets see here im gonna have to say berserk, berserk and definetly berserk. Easilly one of if not the best manga of all time IMO the anime series ended right before it got really good. And to make things worse it probably had the biggest cliff hangar ending of all time involving spoiler[95% of the cast getting killed off]. I would kill to see some of the later arcs get adapted.
Now i know your all gonna say that a movie adaptation is in the work. While I am serieously excited about this, it's going to cover the contect covered in the original show. And honestly I think berserk has so much content it needs a proper show or OVA in order to cover everything adaquetly. Hopefully If the movie is successfull the rest of ther series will get adapted. Also if I’m going to be brutally honest the original anime series could have been really improved. I don’t necessarily agree with the way they toned down the supernatural aspect of the series till right at the very end. Although this did make it very dramatic a lot of people who liked the series for the politics disliked all the supernatural they brought in at the end, which was suppose the core of the entire series. Also some of the scenes from the manga will look amazing with modern graphics |

This, definetily this. It's looong overdue for a series treatment. A new version of Kare Kano would be nice, but only if it covered the first ten or so volumes of the manga. I didn't really care for the direction the series went after that. I'd love to see Imagawa get an another shot at Getter Robo. The mind boggles at how much more awesome Armageddon might've been if he hadn't been sacked after the first three episodes. And let's not forget Great Mazinger and Grendizer... |

Oh, I would love to see a new full-length anime adaptation of the two BA series. Certain parts of it would be hard to animate, though, and given how particular Yukito Kishiro has become about the sanctity of his material, ever arranging something like this would probably be very tough. Still, I have to think this has been proposed many times in the past 15 years, so there's probably some barrier to it happening. |

Yeah, I wouldn't be too surprised if the reason it hasn't happened is that Kishiro's opposed to seeing it adapted for some reason or another. Kinda like how Azuma doesn't want Yotsuba&! getting animated. On a side note, how about getting that volume 15 review up, Key? |

Speaking of great little OVAs that need a full adaptation of the manga: Please Save My Earth. What a hackjob ending. I still love the OVA, but damn do I want more. 3x3 Eyes would also fit into this category. I've owned the entire Japanese manga for years (and I'm finally going to be able to understand the entire ending now that the scanlations are winding down after so long). And for tv series that are simply commercials to get people to buy the manga: Basara and Skip Beat!. More, I want more (especially Basara... I can wait until the SB! manga is finished). And how about a freaking reboot of Rose of Versailles that actually gets off the ground? Where's that movie that was mentioned a few years ago? And, finally, for an adaptation that is completely faithful to the manga, I really REALLY want to see Chrono Crusade redone. I imagine all of these (except maybe RoV) have a snowball's chance in hell, but a girl can dream. Last edited by Crisha on Thu Oct 27, 2011 10:01 am; edited 1 time in total |

I would totally behind a full blown series for F91, but a short OVA would be no better than the film. |
