Animes you would like to see more of

[Scarim Coral]

If the god danm Mangaka to Hunter X Hunter stop being ill and get back to work, we could see the return of Hunter X Hunter.
Also I would like to see the return of Ultimate Muscule and maybe Shaman King (yeah I know it end different to the manga but we didn't see continue of the touranment).

 

[Averant]

Hmm. Tbh, I really haven't seen any of these anime's. I have, however, read the manga for the three I recognize, Highschool of the Dead, Claymore, and Jing. Jing was cool. Weird, but cool.

On the other hand, has anyone ever seen Kino? That was possibly the most kickass anime I have ever seen. I mean, after all...

Spoiler: for those who have seen the gladiator episodes

have you ever seen any other gunslinger fire a nitroglycerin fireball from a revolver?

 

[SckizoBoy]

Oh, forgot to mention... Shigurui.

Fucking hell, I thought (10 eps in) they were going to rush the ending, but no, it's just: new techniques; separate ways: ... end...

And this was four years ago, they so could've billed another 12 episodes to wind its' way to the fight that was the end of the first episode (which suddenly seems meaningless).

 

[Casual Shinji]

Yeah Guardian of the Spirit ended but there are other books, Guardian of Darkness is the 2nd book and it's about Balsa returning to her home country of Kanbal and dealing with her past.

I never read the books so I don't know whether or not the anime show changed anything, but wasn't saving Chagum's life the last life she needed to save in order to make amends with her past? Or was there more to the character of Balsa in the books then there was in the anime?

 

[mireko]

Aoi Hana and Sasameki Koto spring to mind. Since there's no way in hell they could compress either series into a single season [small](okay, there is, but only because Ikeda fucked up the pacing in SK)[/small], the anime adaptations function more like advertisements for the manga than as actual shows. They're still great, but they just.. end. No resolution, you'll just have to go read the comic.

EDIT: Wait wait wait, Ghost Hound! What was with that cop-out ending? If they had another season to explain how the fuck everything played out, maybe it would feel like less of a slap in the face.

There's also Dennou Coil. Now, this show resolved most things very neatly at the end. The only way a second season could work would be if they had some transcendent ideas.

I think they could pull that off. There are plenty of story hooks and ideas in there, and you could weave a story out of practically any aspect that they didn't fully explore the first time around.

[sub]I'd like to see more Ghost in the Shell too, but the last time they tried that they ended up with 2nd GIG. Let's not go there.[/sub]

 

[Ladette]

Another vote for Claymore. Amazing anime that should have been so much more, it just sucks that it overtook the manga. Maybe whenever the manga finishes they'll reboot the anime and end it properly. Or just retcon the end of the original anime, I doubt anyone will fault them for it.

Sasameki Koto is another anime that overtook the manga. Unlike Claymore though it just ended. Nothing was resolved just, "thanks for watching, buy the manga".

I'd also like to see the Heaven's Feel route from the Fate/Stay Night visual novels in anime form. I thought they did a great job with the other two routes.

Yeah Chagum was the last life she needed to save for her atonement, but the second book deals with Balsa and what happens when she returns to Kanbal. Basically when she returns to her home country she is regarded as a criminal and is being hunted by the new King's Spears, like she and Jiguro were after they left Kanbal.

 

[shadyh8er]

I second Berserk, and would add His and Her Circumstances to the list. Seriously, the only reason that last one ended was because the manga artist got her panties in a bunch about the anime's direction and pulled out. And that series had a LOT of room for expansion.

 

[Croaker42]

I would like them to extend Berserk, Black Lagoon and GITS. (I want a SAC3)

 

[Sacman]

Serial Experiments Lain... I'm a little torn here because the ending worked and gave enough closure to where I can say it ended at the perfect time without over staying it's welcome.... on the other hand I can't get enough of it I watch the show like once a month as it is and I tried playing the game but since I don't know Japanese I don't know what's going on...

 

[Angstysquirrel]

The biggest one I can think of is Gantz.
The ending is so shit, and makes so little sense, that it deserves a second chance. Perhaps in an OVA. And this time not quit half-way through the story-line...
Second would be Highschool of the Dead.
And lastly Bakuman. Yes it's been green-lighted for a second season, but that is ages away...

 

[Xolaeth]

Simple: Excel Saga and Elfen Leid.

The ending of Gantz was SO BAD that it ended up on my shit list. I don't... even want to see more. Especially since apparently in the Manga it doesn't get better... it gets worse.

Oh, and probably the most hard core fan service I've seen in a show... At least it was somewhat rational.

I actually kind of liked how they handled the ending.

The entire show was about the different circumstances of a relationship, and that these circumstances will continue for the remainder of that relationship. There are tons of movies and shows about romance that basically end with "They lived happily ever after". But as long as you're in a relationship, there's going to be difficulties, misunderstandings and whatnot.

And this is kind of what Kare Kano means in the end when it says, "His and her circumstances will continue".

I know they ended because of the manga artist pulling out, but I still liked how it was handled nonetheless. Plus, the story didn't really seem to go anywhere at that point anyway. Atleast, not for Miyazawa and Harima.

 

[shedra]

Naoki Urasawa's Monster.
The series has the one of best premises I've seen. And the ending is just a dud. It attempts to be profound, but it looks more like they forgot what they were doing and just killed it suddenly.
Like LOST.

I disagree with everyone who said Evangelion needed to be longer. It felt like a solid conclusion.

And I hope the Hellsing OVA gets finished and dubbed. Because I love that series and I hope another animation studio picks it up. Geneon apparently don't give a piss.

 

[Weskerbot3000]

Birdy the Mighty: Decode
Not only was this one of the few animes I have seen that made me sympathize with a character as much, let alone as well fleshed out, this was a reboot done right. And no the new evangelion movies aren't reboots they are sequels.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

Soul Eater.

Stop teasing us Funinmation and do it!

 

[iblis666]

i need more harem anime badly!!

Spoiler

not really i would love some scifi space opera though

there is just something about huge space battles that are so appealing

 

[EbonBehelit]

GITS:SAC and Berserk are the only ones that come to mind.

Good thing I'll be getting my wish on the latter though!
