Your favourite book ever... has just been turned into an anime series.

Not very pissed.
Yeah probably.

Beowulf, the anime. Not sure if I should be pissed.

I'd probably watch it. If it was like Princess Mononoke it could be kinda cool.

But it already was and it wasn't that bad inact it was pretty damn good.

But I recently read Brothers K a while back and I think it could be impossible to adapt into anime. Now, if it was done by Abe Yoshitoshi and SHAFT I could see it being done pretty well.

Wouldn't be pissed, I'd probably think "How will that work without being boring?" Then I'd watch it to find out.

There's a pretty promising trailer for a (Russian) animation of The Master and Margarita, I'll watch it when it comes out/when I find it:

C'mon, OP. Try harder with this.

I mean, which anime director does my favourite book get? MIyazaki? Anno? The reincarnated spirit of Satoshi Kon? What studio? Madhouse? KyoAni? The composer? Kanno? Kajiura?

It could be sort of awesome given the combinations.

>> No.2739003

All Quiet on the Western Front, eh?

Knowing those slant-eye fucks and their willingness to overlook war crimes, they'll proabably turn it into a slice of life with little combat...

That said, All Quiet already is kind of a slice of life anyways...

Sure, I'll watch it.

FUCK YES I'D WATCH IT! Would be more excited than anything. No shitty adaption could ever ruin a book for me. They're two separate things, and to say that an adaption ruined the original sounds ridiculous to me.

The Count of Monte Cristo did get the weaboo treatment. It wasn't so bad, in fact I really enjoyed the more developed interpersonal relationships, especially with Eugenie.

I did NOT like how Albert was a teenaged, whiny man child. They changed the ending too, which was odd, but for this iteration, it worked I suppose. Though doing so changed the Count from a calculating, remorseful force of vengeance who recants his position, or at least tries to, to a possessed wrathful man beyond redemption.

>> No.2739647

I'm almost 100% sure this has been done.

Not sure why I'd bother watching an anime that's derivative of something else I like, when I can watch an anime that's good in its own right.

Catch-22 the anime? That would work surprisingly well. Nately's Whore is every -dere there is at some point in the book; Yossarian would be perfect as a unlucky, plucky protagonist with a twist of crazy/apathy; and I wouldn't be able to wait to hear the English dub of Milo and Korn. Plus, the creepy, understated lines of the book - "I only raped her once", literally everything Milo says, etc. - would work SO WELL spoken in Japanese.
