ITT: books that would make for great anime

Yeah, PKD in general fits the style of animation. I think A Scanner Darkly worked well.

Ghost in the Shell is Neuromancer, pretty much, just with a much worse plot. They would have been better-off adapting the novel straight.

Would make a great anime or live action movie or mini-series and the 11th century setting in the Middle East is hella aesthetic. I'm honestly surprised someone hasn't done it yet. It's got the underaged girls, the philosopher assassins, the mystery and political intrigue, and a couple large battles.

Great book if you've never read it.

Wolfgang Hohlbein did a shit ton of Isekai before Japan was flooded with it.

agreed

Get Trigger to animate this one.

You've made me want to read Neuromancer lol.

Nah it wouldn't work. It's too dramatic for the average loli fags who want to see cute girls doing cute hints.

Ubik is my absolute favorite but I think Eye in the Sky would work the best visually, with different styles for each part and stuff

>The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress (Robert Heinlein)
Later Heinlein e.g. Time Enough For Love, would be interesting. Plus it would have the bonus of plenty of incest. But maybe there wouldn't be enough action. TMIAHM has more of a straight adventure story plot.

>Don Quixote (Cervantes)
This is such an archetypal story it could be done in any setting. I'd like to see it as space opera.

>20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (Verne)
Could be done straight Victorian or modernised. Nemo is a great tragic hero/villain.

It's just a short story and there isn't enough there to make a good anime show I don't think.

If it's Ellison you want, A Boy And His Dog would be way better, but they already made a (half-decent) movie out of that.

I think Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water is a loose adaptation of 20,000 leagues under the sea if I remember correctly?

So, was the main character of that book a faggot, or was I too influenced by innuendo in anime?

The trouble is there's just not enough story, I think. Same with e.g. Rendezvous With Rama.

It would need some changes to work as anime fantasy. Most elves and some dwarves and orcs become girls. Maybe the nazgul too. Put slimes everywhere. Anduril is a Japanese Katana

Which is why it would be great, they'd unironically relate to HH and then get BTFO by the story.

We can skip The Man in the High Castle

I just realised...

Was Legolas the first trap?

It's suggested but not clear.

Yes, with Captain Nemo being based on Captain Nemo. The book never had aliens or the Illuminati and was more like records of a journey.

People really forget that this book series had some crazy shit happen to those kids. Besides Count Olaf the settings themselves were always kind of the antagonist as well, so studios could get really creative with them.

Grim Grotto and Carnivorous Carnival especially would be absolute treats to see adaptations of visually.

We will never see Loli Sunny either

Oh SHIT someone else owned the illustrated paperbacks? The pictures of the badlands fucking haunt me, the one you posted in particular.

Wastelands art was pure kino

Gene Wolfe - The Book of The New Sun
Dan Simmons - Hyperion Cantos

For Warhammer as a whole read Eisenhorn or Ciaphas Cain.
With Horus Heresy series, read Horus Rising.

Herman Hesse has an incredibly beautiful way of writing that would not translate nearly as well into the screen.

Is Horus Heresy the peak of Warhammer content or is just the most accessible?

I'll check these out, I was hoping for something that takes place in modern times rather than the future though. But thanks user.

I would not mind a complete Yea Forums takeover of this site.

Unfortunately...
...this is the only experience I have with this story, hence my interest is somewhat dead. Should I just pretend I know nothing about it and give it a shot?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

It's like a prequel to 40k and the most well known part of this universe. It has the most important parts of the 40k universe like the Emperor and his sons and the story of betrayal. It's the most important part of 40k for now.

Yea Forums and Yea Forums are the only non-complete shite boards desu. I miss the youknowwhatchan versions of Yea Forums, /pol/ and /x/.

Nothing comes to mind in modern times sorry. From the two Hyperion is easier to get into, The Book of The New Sun can be very confusing and its something that you truly appreciate when you read all of it but it is very worth it.

The first three were great. The fourth was decent. After that it starts going downhill.

As a general rule off topic threads usually have great discussion, I guess the shitposters get confused and dont know how to shit up a thread.

Anything else?

Kaz Fujita drew the cover for the Japanese version, pretty certain it was a heavy inspiration for Karakuri Circus.

Shitposters don't read, that's why literature is a lot harder to bait with.

Not sure how close it is, but some of PKD's stuff could work. Like Time out of Joint, A Maze of Death of Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said

The Thief of Always and That’s pretty based. The English version doesn’t have any good looking covers besides the original and the one I posted for the thread.

Already read it but thanks user.

So I only got to books because of Haruki Murakami's work.
What's the next step up if I liked reading his stuff? Maybe something with an actual ending?

Yeah. It's a good story at in an interesting surreal apocalyptic world. After book 3, you've seen all the best the story has to offer, so if you find yourself turned off, don't feel bad about dropping it. Although the ending is cathartic for long time readers, it resolves nothing.

Finnegans wake

How is Demian? Steppenwolf and Siddharta were almost life-changing for me.

>want to read books
>too autistic to read text files and pdfs
>need physical media
>fucking books are expensive

I guess I can go to a library. I hate having that added stress of needing to finish a book within that time limit, and not losing it, and having to return it in time.

Its the book that made me start to read outside of school. It's really just a great coming of age story.

The Wheel of Time is basically old white guy anime already.
What other fantasy series has a literal harem end? Also a buffet of fiery tsunderes and an overpowered MC with a saviour complex.

Is there any actual good ebook readers? Moon reader's controls are fucked up and changing them in the options doesn't seem to do anything. I just want a simple swipe up, swipe down, save bookmark.

Or you could just not read and continue with your life. Anime is better anyway.

It's better in some ways because then you actually have to finish it instead of putting it on your backlog, the library in my town is chill so they let me postpone returning books for months as long as no one else is looking for them

A lot of libraries have online renewal these days.
Alternatively e-readers are always dropping in price and a lot of libraries have epub selections. They're easier to read on because the light is filtered with an actual thought to the fact you'll be staring at it for long periods.

Is posting this cheating?

>too autistic to read text files and pdfs
Reconsider, reading on the phone or tablet or whatever is really comfortable once you get into it.

Honestly, the problem is trying to look for some good books is almost a needle in a haystack. You can't really read a chapter or two and figure out if you like it or not. Books are even harder to recommend because someone's writing style can be completely jarring to others. With anime, you have a standard and everyone that doesn't comply with it you'll know if it's good or not by others.
It's the volume as well, there's fucking thousands of books releasing every day.

Know any good ebook readers? I just want a lightweight free one but every fucking app on google play wants me to buy the pro version to skip ads.

I use Lithium and whatever is built into Google Drive on my phone.

Basado

Probably Kazuo Ishiguro, like The Buried Giant or Never Let Me Go.

The best way for me was to think of whatever piece of media I really liked, look up its literary influences (direct or not) and then look for the author's influences and so on. As long as you're engaged you'll eventually want to branch out and find stuff on your own

Yea Forums has a bunch of lists to start reading from. Or you can find new books through recommendations, like when a Waldenbooks clerk literally threw a copy of Siddhartha at me when he found out the store didn’t have what I was looking for

I just wanted to see a possessed head on tubes.

And human sacrifice.

This cover. Everything about that cover from art, to description and quotes. Just.

This would be manic pixie dream guy and normal dude fujo bait with a milf in between, not bad to be honest but the whole plot about not being normal humans would be too stupid

Considering they ripped it off a million times and there is a manga, it's weird they never animated the real thing.

Is there any actual battle royale anime/manga that's like it? It's all just fucking phone games and other lightnovel tier shit. I actually liked the sequel manga but it just ended outta nowhere, it wasn't even cancelled, it just ended. The second movie's first 30mins was also really good. I'm actually surprised with you in that nobody actually created anything like it.

However, my thoughts on the actual book.
Kiriyama was an asspull and I think the book would be way better without him. The Manga was hilarious with the kung fu dude surviving and fighting him 1v1ing rather than just getting shot down like in the book.

No, the books fucking suck. The first one had a lot of potential but each sequel gets successively worse. Stephen King is literally a character in the book who has the power to rewrite reality to suit the heroes and the big bad is just Santa Claus. I can't believe anyone can say the books are good with a straight face.

but does it have this as an ending?
No.
exactly.

Yeah but what studio?

Any books that seemed to have a really interesting premise only to disappoint the fuck out of you in the end?

Kathe Hoja's Cipher is one of those for me. Dude discovers a hole in his apartment's basement, he and some people stick a camera in it, when watching the tape the image turns out to be really addicting, messed up, and different for everyone. He also sticks his hand in by mistake and gets another hole in his hand, one that eventually becomes infected with pus, keeps getting worse, etc.

The plot seems really interesting and you want to find out more about the hole, but in reality it doesn't really go anywhere and you're left completely blueballed.

Too cutesy of a look.

Any of Murakami's books

Japanese literature is, by and large, a huge meme. It's seriously fucking awful, which may be in part due to the fact that their language operates differently than ours and it's not possible to translate while maintaining all nuances. The ONLY author that I respect would be Akutagawa.

No Longer Human was pretty good.

Probably noone here knows this but it's the best one I've read (multiple times). Somewhat historically accurate 11th centuary Persia.

There's a harem (with a loli) for virgin elite assassins who go on suicide missions to meet with the girls again (who they believe they met in heaven). You know how muslims are promised to meet with virgins after their death. Their leader is an anti-hero who gets away with everything - he's a big thinker and has actually good arguments defending himself manipulating others.

Not LN but normal jap novel Babylon is getting an anime next season.

The most curious part of the trilogy is that the only character who had a good long-time plan and managed to fulfill it did that through the betraying his country/earth, placing his bets on Earth fully genocided, deserting from the battlefield, betraying and slaughtering his comrades (although they won in the specific case) and literal cannibalism. I wonder what China is trying to say by that.

I've only read the first book, I ain't hovering that.
And I'm still reading Tale of Two Cities. I don't care that it's nearly 200 years old, no spoilers!

so soft porn/fantasy/scifi like heinlein, or asimov (remember the book where thas dude had urinals shaped like women?)
if its scifi, you cant go wrong with rifters or blindsight by peter watts.
or edgy pretentious shit like knut hamsun's Hunger, or huysmans A Debours...personally d love to see the illuminatus trilogy adapted if adapting schizo crap like it were even possible.
an adaptation of Jungers Storm of Steel could also be good.
The movie was already fantastic to the point I see no need for further adaptations. I would rather see Juliette/Justine or Philosophie dans le Boudoir get adapted instead.

Its pure nostalgia, but id like to see adapations of most childrens lit... shit like spooksville, deltora, or stuff written by garth nix or ka applegate. I love how edgy most of that shit was

I could see this being a pretty decent 4 part OVA.

First part: protag's arrival on the ship, first impressions of the harsh masculine world

Second part: continued acclimation, fued with cookey, etc. Arrival of Maud.

Third part: bonding between Maud and protag and Larsen. budding romance. plan to escape. start of escape.

Fourth part: escape and arrival on seal island, their brief time there, larsen's arrival and final "battle" rescued during final credits.

And the MC is a bland self insert. The only thing missing is Harry having a harem. Make Ron the loser friend like in the movies and just turn it into a harem with Hermione, Ginny and Luna. If you want to genderbend Draco, even better.

Could work. The MC is a thick skulled retard when it comes to women. He literally has consensual sex with a willing woman and comes to the conclusion that he raped her. This is his second time having sex btw.

Holy shit, if you make Quijote a girl, you get the plot of every manga with a quirky girl with special interests and normal guy with regular urges, from Haruhi to Tejina senpai. Obviousky, disregarding all the plot for fanservice first

Blight-chan did nothing wrong!

If I recall correctly.
Some fag authors were shitting on larry correia for not having any awards. in return he and some buddies got to gather to prove the Hugo Award is just a insetuious popularity contest and isn't an indicator success or good writting. they did it by nominating the worse meme books possible.

I wouldn't mind a proper visual adaptation of books like Artemis Fowl or Maximum Ride/When the Wind Blows. I think in this age of isekai, the story of an underground world within the real one isn't too much of a departure and could do well.

What kind of feel do you mean?

Immense paranoia and WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW?

not literally though, I want to actually understand what I'm reading. I do want something where it flip flops between "Is it real or is it fake."

I can only dream of a good Lyonesse adaptation

Yojouhan shinwa taikei, it's really fun. Project Itoh's Gyakusatsu kikan. Edogawa Rampo. I personally liked Issun boushi, Kotou no oni, Kumo otoko, Majutsushi and a bunch of other short stories (Ningen isu, etc). Ono Fuyumi's Toukei ibun. Yumeno Kyuusaku's Dogura magura for total mindfuck. I've also read about a tonne of modernist poetry, but I don't know if you're into that.

You're a big guy.

>I love little boys as long as they are from Italy!
Death in Venice, although Tadzio wasn't Italian iirc

>"Is this reality or is it fake?"

Philip K Dick is definitely the boy for this. Most of his stuff features it to some degree. Off the top of my head I remember especially:
>The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch
>Time Out of Joint
>Ubik
>Flow My Tears, The Policeman Said
The trouble is, he's a bit *too* mad and most of his books were very rushed (he had to churn them out to pay the bills).

There's a neat novella by Vernor Vinge called
>The Cookie Monster
also about reality-vs-simulation.

Michael Crichton has a certain air of paranoia in some of his books, e.g.
>Prey
>Sphere
but they aren't usually all that weird. You generally know what's going on.

No, he's Polish. It's the diminutive for "Tadeusz"

>third from last
Catch 22.

The guy in this is pretty much a waifufag and a pseudo-cuck to boot.

Like every King book ever, the actual payoff for the final act is a total wet fart. Harold is literally the average Yea Forums poster though.

I think this is a bit cheating because he is writing with a different style but this was my favorite of his books. The Running Man was also another one of my favorite stories for me.

Oh man, I love The Long Walk. It left me feeling empty for days after I first read it.

I always had a question about the book that I couldn't really find online or during re-reads.

I'm pretty dumb, but how does fucking sleeping work? Do they just sleepwalk? I know for shitting and pissing, they'll have to use the 30 second rule thing.

No, I loved it too. The movie was a terrific adaptation in the sense that although a very different animal, it's an interesting take on the setting. It was dare I say, Arnold kino.

yeeeeeeees

I never gave it much thought, but they were probably snoozing and jerked awake every few minutes. That's the only explanation I can come up with, since it's happened to me a few times as well, although I wasn't actually walking.

Stephen King's Dark Tower which is the most ridiculous chuuni shit. Bonus for anime original ending to replace the simply disgusting original ending of the book. And maybe change the crippled nigger for a hot chick.

Any more illustrations? these look pretty unique.

Or just play the old warhammer 40k stuff, its a good surface level intro to stuff going and then you can move to the books or comics. It's less of a single story and more of a entire world with a bunch of different aspects to delve into.

4th book, Children of the Mind, is at least as anime.

with at little context as possible:

no exaggeration involved.

Might as well get it to 500.

dude, anime can get pretty grimdark

It's been a while, but didn't the AI waifu become the key to instantaneous space travel and was then put into the body that Ender created in the ether that was made in the image of his sister when she was a loli, all so she wouldn't deteriorate or something?
