How about it, which (currently not in production) Manga would you like to see as Anime. Gee, I guess I'll go first.

Blade of the Immortal- Great Samurai Action, with solid characterizations. You can sympathise with everyone. Heck, the bad guy gets married, you want him to have a happy marridge. Lots of drama.

Eagle- A Japanese American is running for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. Our plucky Japanese reporter is picked from out of nowhere to cover the campiagn because of a hidden link to the canidate.

Parasyte-Invasion of the Body snatchers, as a Comedy.

The Island- Yes, it's Korean. But the main character is Rich B--ch who wants a job from her father. She therefore ends up a high school ethics teacher on a Demon infested island. My favorite line goes something like "If your going to sell your soul to a vengence demon, don't settle for your tormentors, get thier family as well. I look forward to discussing this in class."

Any other fun ideas.

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a Real Bout High School anime? The fight scenes would be great... Oh wait, there was one. And it sucked. Still, it'd be great to see a good Real Bout anime.

are you sure thats what it is? cause I've never heard of it and I've been reading up on Battle Royale recently. it might be Battle Royal Highschool, my friend thought that was Battle Royale. anyway if there isn't I would think it would be good...if they got Beat Takeshi to voice the headmaster.

There is no Battle Royale Anime. Just a really kick ass movie that will never make it to the US, although you can import it on r2 from the UK with a dub track.

i wonder if they would ever make a battle royale anime, i'm not sure, because to be true to the series it would end up being nc-17, and i'm not sure about japan, but at least here in america, nc-17 rated movies are almost unsellable since most stores won't stock them, but it would be awesome if they did make a battle royale anime, i know i'd be first in line to buy it.

NC-17 is only given if you want to play in theaters.

I said nc-17 i know, but i mean like 18 and up thing, which can be bad also because although i'm 13 i can still buy most anime by myself, but when it's 18 up at least at my store they get em' shrink rapped and say 18 up on them, so the people there would never let me buy them. But I still think it would be awesome if they did, and i'd find some way to get my hands on a copy.
