If you were given the opportunity to change or remake an anime that you saw had great potential but proved to be a dissapointment, would you? I think we've all come across this, you see or read the premise of a show and you think that it should be excellent in theory, but when you get home, you cant help but wonder if you accidentally switched bags with someone at the store because this surely isnt the show you wanted to watch.
Well now is your chance to do justice to those originally fascinating ideas. Which anime would you change and why. It doesnt have to be the entire anime either. If you didn't like certain aspects of the show then go for it. Me, I would start with the Guyver TV show. I'm not quite sure how id change it but i do know that my first step would be to take out all the screaming. |

Ai Yori Aoshi; I'd remove all the "harem" girls and explore the Kaoru/Aoi relationship more thoroughly. The series had such incredible promise to be a beautiful romance comedy of Ah! My Goddess caliber, and yet because it succumbed to Love Hina-esque tomfoolery it became rather mediocre, rather quick.

Rurouni Kenshin.
Where the HECK is the Jinchuu arc?! 
You can't really expect that "Tales of Meiji" and Seisouhen garbage to be a proper ending, can you? If they would just retain the same crew that adapted and produced Kyoto and Tsuioku-hen (with some new and brilliant music co-composed by both Noriyuki Asakura and Taku Iwasaki), add some high budget animation, and get those excellent seiyuu again, then you would have yourself a recipe for an instant classic  .

Neo Ranga,
Yes it's a clunker of a series in a lot of ways but at the same time the premise is fascinating. Three sisters, who have to varying degrees typical first world captialist ethics, inherit control of a God in the form of a Godzilla type monster who romps through Tokyo but also performs genuine miracles. What do the girls do, spoiler[Use him as advertiseing billboard, liscense Neo Ranga cookies, sell fake religous charms, restrain one of the sisters from taking over Japan, while another sister aids and abets a bank robbery (subtlely).] The premise is original, even though the script writing was horrible, especially later. But the idea is sound. Arjuna, Make it somewhat less preachy so we can enjoy the great art, music etc. Yes, it's good to have your beliefs challenged, but it's better done subtlely like say, Kino's Journey or Haibane. I guess I'm not interested in taking shows that did a good job the first time. I trust the pros. It's the show's that could have been well done that warrent consideration. All the best, Nani? |

Berserk!
Start the series out the same way the manga starts out and follow along those lines. This series is one of my absolute favorites, but had the Series followed the Manga a little bit closer, then I would not be the only fan of Berserk's ending  .
Pretty much the same thing can be said for Hellsing, follow the manga a little bit more closely and we would have an instant classic

To Heart should have been WAY cooler than it was. It was obvious that Hiroyuki liked Akari, but that angle was neither explored nor resolved when the series ended. Totally disappointing.

Witch Hunter Robin. That show had HUGE potential... but something about it, just didn't keep me hooked.

I soo agree about Kenshin and Aoi Yori Aoshi.
Fushigi Yuugi-Give Miaka a serious personality overhaul. Witch Hunter Robin-Add more character development. Everyone's much to blah. Make the stories less predictable. I was falling to sleep in the middle and still figure out the "plot twist" before the other characters. |

That's the way it typically goes in anime, you always know that they like each other, but they always deny it. And it usually doesn't get resolved either. I thought To Heart was quite good since the whole point of it was basically to not have a plot. Not too mention that it was a hentai game. |

The one anime I would change, would have to be Ai Yori Aoshi.
The love story in the first 2 or 3 episodes really showed how much potential the love story between the two main characters would have, if they didn't add all of the fan wants and needs to make it a hilarious/romance anime. |

I would alter Kare Kano. From the dazzling artwork, to the catchy theme songs and quirky cast of characters the show had such potential. However, the show fizzled out at the end leaving me feeling empty, wondering what I had been doing with those 13 hours of my life. By the time I got tot he last few episodes, the story had already become stagnant, it seemed the creators started throwing in cheap tricks and yuri sidelines just to inject excitement into a languishing series, all to no avail. Sigh

Hellsing. i would throw the shows storyline out the window and stick to the mangas (where they fight nazis)
Berserk and His and Her would be choices as well |

Fushigi Yuugi-spoiler[LET NURIKO LIVE!!!] Who saw that coming?
Haibane Renmei-Tell how all of the main characters died. Yu Yu Hakusho-More about Kuronue |

I agree with Hellsing. I have not read the manga for Hellsing so I do not know how well the end it in there, but I was not a huge fan on how the anime series ended. I think they should re-release Hellsing with major changes and take out all the stuff they added at random. I believe there is still a strong enough following around Hellsing that this could be done and money could be made from it, but maybe that is because I do not know much about productions costs et cetera.

GONZO decided to write their own ending for Hellsing because the Millennium (Nazi) Arc wasn't (and still isn't) completed. But so far, said story arc is leaps & bounds superior to that utter trainwreck surrounding Incognito.
Anyway... One anime I'd definitely change would have to be Alexander Senki (Reign). Not for the character designs, but for the absolute waste of a plot. After two or three episodes of wonderful political intrigue, they go off on some pseudo-philosophical tangent about Polyhedrons and chaos and so on that just derails the story and runs it into the ground. And aside from Alexander, most of the cast is sorely underdeveloped. So...a better story that sticks to the politics with a light dab of the supernatural, and perhaps some better all-around character development with the removal of the bizarre out-of-character moments (spoiler[like the coward of the group randomly deciding to challenge Alex for the throne...yeah, that made sense...maybe if they actually bothered to develop it]). Maybe I'd hire a new character designer if there was time & money left over after all that. I'd also improve some of the animation in Gundam SEED. I love that series to death, but some of the shortcuts they took (particularly in the first fifteen or so episodes) were incredibly distracting. |
