What would YOU make an anime of?

Something that's been plaguing me recently - If you were to make an anime of a program, book, anything whatsoever, what would it be?

On the japanese-side, I would choose the visual novel 'True Remembrance': http://trueremembrance.insani.org/

From a western side, I would adapt the Artemis Fowl, purely because Hollywood would probably just create a CGI-Costume piece of turd - MEGA FAIL

Secondly, I would adapt Harry Potter...what?
It's not as crasy as you think - Spielberg was originally going to do the movies in animation form, but he was rejected, much to fans chagrin - so now were left with the rubbish abridges cash-cows that are the harry potter film series
(I did have an expertly done picture from a brilliant artist on DEVart to illustrate how this could turn out, but it's hopped off somewhere - bugger!)
Normality is overrated

Kaworu/Asuka - give it a chance!
(Clarification - I still like Asuka/Shinji)

I'd make an Anime out of Bungie's Halo series. I like your choice. Harry Potter and Artemis Fowl would make pretty good anime adaptations.

Star Wars.

Create a new prequel series that isn't fail.

Maybe an adaption of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy?
I feel animation would suit the books style more than live action.

Something by William Gibson, J.G. Ballard, or Franz Kafka.

Or Batman.

Or Sachi13's idea.

Yes.

Edit:

Also, I forgot to add maybe one of Samuel Beckett's short stories and Katsuhiro Otomo's Domu: A Child's Dream. Maybe even one of Sartre's plays or something by William S. Burroughs.

MGS I would probably watch, since I don't have to pretend that I'm playing a game.

When this topic came up on ANF, my reply was, and still is, Doctor Who.

Harry Potter.

Seriously, have you seen some of the HP anime art on DeviantArt? It's surprisingly fitting.

Yeah, there was this one by an artist called Kaze-Hime which I wanted to use to illustrate my point simply because it was absolutely awesom, but he must have taken it down or something...

Didn't the BBC try that with that terrible Infinite Quest thing?

But an animated Doctor Who series (properly done) would be interesting.

Do I hear a call for me to post my Doctor Who: Manga fanfic series somewhere on here? (The conceit behind it is, "what would happen if there were an actual anime of Doctor Who, what would it be like, who would voice it, and what company would produce it?" So far, it's a cross-production of BBC, Gainax, and Studio Who Productions [my fictional company].)

Dark Tower.

Live action will never capture the run-down awesomeness and dis-reality of Mid-World the way gritty animation could...

Stuff that goes on in Chee's head with some Zimlord and Defectron for good measure. ;)

I'd be lame and make an OVA of the GoS2 spinoff, although it'd be a combination of the video game and it's manga counterpart. However, I probably would try to throw in some mind-fuckery of the original Eva. Three guesses on what pairing would win out. ;)

Similar to above, an OVA of one of the Raising Project games, probably the Shinji one since the manga is utter fail with it's lack of plot. Just for fun. OR, an anime series of that gakuen datenroku manga since it seems pretty badass.

Moving away from Eva....

The only thing that comes to mind is an anime or special of the LoTR, but also with The Hobbit. I know there was a cartoon of The Hobbit made, but I've never seen it and have no idea what style it would be.

YES I FAIL FOR NOT THINKING OF ANYTHING MORE CREATIVE THEN THIS. ;_;
