I was rather surprised this question hadn't been asked in the past as its a pretty basic one, but here it is:
What manga to anime adaptation would you like to see the most? (this has to be a manga that has no anime adaptations as of yet)
I would really like to see an anime adaptation of the manga Monster Musume no Iru Nichijou. This is a relatively new manga to the industry, and its based upon both a very popular book know as The Monster girl Encyclopedia and a small online comic titled "Living with Monster Girls"; and with the trend of ghost girl, zombie girl anime a monster girl one can't be far off. _________________

My pick has to be Ratman, I love the campy courage and heart that carries most of the stories. Its got a great Veiwtiful Joe vibe going on.
After Tiger and Bunny's smashing succes I'm sure Ratman will do well too. Hero Fever, Dood.

I'd say 1/2 Prince. It's about a girl playing a guy character in an MMO that is supposed to only allow people to make character that are their real life gender. But due to being one of the first ones on her server the GM grants her one wish so she wishes to be a male character.
I didn't finish the series (I'll need to go back and do that) but it was mostly light hearted comedy (ie a Necromancer who is afraid of the undead joins the party) with some action. _________________ txMaddog

This is a very easy choice. Hoshi no Samidare aka Wakusei no Samidare aka Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer.
| Quote: | Yuuhi, a college student, wakes up one morning to find a talking lizard informing him that the world is in great danger, with a mage plotting to destroy it with the "Biscuit Hammer": a gigantic mallet floating in space, preparing to fall and smash the planet. To stop this, he must join forces with the other knights and protect the princess, who stands in the way of the mage's plot.
Unfortunately for the lizard, Yuuhi is a bit of a misanthrope and wants no part in saving the world. But he is interested in serving the Princess; especially when she announces that she only wants to save the world so she can destroy it herself!

It finished up a couple years ago, so you wouldn't run across the problem of running out of story that adaptations of ongoing manga do, especially those that get adaptations way earlier then they should. _________________

Yotsubato! (Or Yotsuba&! as it's known in the West.) Although I suspect it will never appear as I recall the mangaka, Kiyohiko Azuma, had no plans for an anime adaptation. To be fair, he may have a point in that the stories in Yotsubato may not be necessarily suited for animation. _________________ xahldera - No zero, No hero... |

Well, if we're picking manga that haven't been adapted at all, that means I can't choose Angels Sanctuary even though its one adaptation was a very crappy OVA. So I'll go with Kaori Yuki's next-biggest manga: The Cain Saga/Godchild. Shoujo character designs, a young noble with a dark past, a hearthrob butler... This would probably appeal very much to the people who like Black Butler. _________________

Sounds like a different manga where aliens landed on a dude and reconstructed him as a girl by mistake. _________________

Watashi no Kyuuseishu-sama aka My Messiah by Minazuki Suu.
His other series, Sora no Otoshimono aka Heaven's Lost Property, got 2 TV series, an OVA and a movie with a third TV series to follow this year.
I remember reading the manga through scans and it felt like such a mess reading it. It was probably due to bad translation on the scanlators part though I can't say for certain. I'd like to see My Messiah run as two TV series as the manga did in order to due the series justice because I got so lost that I was barely able to pick up on what was going on in the manga. _________________

Sonna Mirai wa Uso de Aru by Sakuraba Koharu
It's by the same author of Minami-ke and Kyou no Go no Ni, both of which have already had anime adaptations. What I've read of it so far is pretty good and I think it would make a pretty decent slice of life show. _________________

| I would love to see an anime adaptation of Kurohime. I really loved the manga and they even made an animated sequence for the game (which I have and it's not very good to be honest) but it shows that they animated some of it at some point. they should make a full series. |

I know Timechaser (and a few others- podcasters and fellow anime fans) have voiced their displeasure for Panty & Stocking (With Garterbelt; I did not like Dead Leaves all that much, but I love P&S.
However, Timechaser, if you were an exec at Cartoon Network, do you think it would be a good idea to have P&S on Toonami? It's a Japanese show that riffs and parodies American pop culture quite a lot. _________________

You didn't answer the question at all, save this kind of stuff for the show comments. _________________

Personally I want Drifting Classroom. I quite enjoyed the story and the style and would love to see an anime adaptation. 'Course the chances aren't very likely but I'd still love to see it. xD _________________ HAS ANYONE SEEN MY BUNNY?

Addicted To Curry for sure. that would be sweet. or spicy. however you like it. maybe with some tonkatsu on it?
it may not apply to the question exactly, but i would also really like to see the rest of the BECK: Mongolian Chop Squad animated. that manga really picks up right when the anime leaves off. and also Full Metal Panic Sigma. it picks up where the anime leaves off as well, and gets pretty serious and tragic as it goes on which would be really cool to see animated. _________________ "We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." |

| I don't go all that much into manga, so I really couldn't answer the question properly. However, I'd just like to say both host kept saying "East of Eden" rather than "Eden of the East." Viridi put it best at around :24 |

| I don't know if this really qualifies, but I'd enjoy an anime of Scott Pilgrim vs the World. I've seen the adult swim shorts and they were really good. |
