I'm talking about the ones that may have had only one or two seasons but you know deserve better than that.

How about none?

If I wanted to see soulless retreads of older franchises whose time and relevance has passed, then I'd watch Hollywood shit.

UY 2022, Ranma 1/2 2024, I'm looking at you.

[–] benni@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I want to watch more Elfenlied, but I doubt it's gonna happen. Maybe I should just read the Manga.

It doesn't really deserve it, but I want to see infinate stratos s3

[–] Kelp@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Two things pop into my mind at least.

  1. Tokyo ghoul. I want a FMA brotherhood reboot. They would only need to do the second season really. (I know, very original)
  2. Votoms. I just want this in some modern graphics. I feel like a reboot of this series could gain some popularity currently. Less “real robot” series more gritty military Real Robot

Akame ga Kill is a great manga that got an ok anime up until the end, where White Fox decided to make an original ending since they weren't interested in doing another season.

[–] Siegfried@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Full metal alchemist... fma was beautifully done till they ran out of material and had* to "improvise"

FMAB has a rushed, strangely flanderized start and then becomes the masterpiece it is.

Also, the ending felt like they ran out of money

I want one single well executed anime

*because of the profit, of course

Waiter! More punch men please!

No game no life

Charlotte. Just a reboot would be cool to see or maybe same universe different characters.

Deadman wonderland

That one... With the city and the eyes... Fuck what was it? Blood blockade battlefront! I loved the setting and world building.

[–] orenj@lemmy.sdf.org 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm sorry everyone. I'm going to wish Berserk back again. Maybe next time it'll be good

Slayers but Gourry isn't a complete moron? (Iirc that was more Anime only, and LN he was smarter ). I'd even like an expansion of the verse like Lost Universe.

Escaflowne - with modern animation and a full orchestra

Galaxy Express 999 & Captain Harlock

Vampire Hunter D

Big O

Escaflowne - with modern animation and a full orchestra

Much of the original soundtrack was recorded by the Warsaw Philharmonic, if I recall correctly, so it's already had the full orchestra treatment.

[–] ElAndvari@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Ahh, did not know this. Only thought the movie got the orchestrated treatment. Thank you! Alas, I would still love to see it with a modern animation.

Ghost Stories. Specifically the dub.

[–] arararagi@ani.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It should just get remade for real, outside the USA this anime is considered very good, it was a myth to defend that dub.

[–] FerretyFever0@fedia.io 1 points 1 day ago

Have you seen the dub? It seems to get the main points across. It's honestly the only anime I've watched of my own free will. I was forced to watch bits of Demon Slayer and My Hero Academia by my little sister. Idk why anime communities show up on my social media so much. Anyways, the dub was funny.

High-school of the Dead

No Game No Life

Tower of God (just rewrite the whole thing with the same premise)

[–] rigatti@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Tower of God season 2 was seriously terrible.

Just started watching this, it's so over the top, but that's what makes it great.

[–] JordanZ@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Serial Experiments Lain was weird enough I wouldn’t mind more.

Armitage

Somebody already mentioned it but Air Gear.

Read or Die…It had a series but I never got to watch it. I’ve only seen the OVA’s. So this is probably just a ‘I should watch that’…forgot about it.

[–] benni@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There are rumors about a spiritual successor to SEL named Despera.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It's been stalled since one of the key people died.

[–] Kelp@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I like your taste internet person! Armitage would go soooo hard in some modern graphics

[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Gantz. I really love that idea of the dead world on the other side of our reality.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

Deadman Wonderland. Likely a reboot more than a second season

Also a bonus; Ebichu. Please. More raunchy adult animated comedy anime please. What happened with that genre??

[–] arararagi@ani.social 1 points 1 day ago

You reminded me of Henzemi, was also an adult comedy that only got 1 season and barely any scanlations, it was very funny and well animated.
