The space operas, the fantasy, the galatic scale wars, the battlefields and the exotic... Its a genre that pushes for crearivity, something anime is sorely lacking on at the moment.
How do we restard this genre in anime lads?
We need Sci-Fi
Gabriel Gray
Mason Gray
Adapt either Dune or the Mars Trilogy into epic animes (anyone ever actually read these beside me?)
Landon Garcia
Two of the most popular classics of sci-fi? Yeah I think a few people read them.
I'm all for more hard sci-fi in Anime though. It used to have a pretty good amount of it. Hell the OG Gundam show was hard sci-fi as fuck.
Julian Ward
Nippon Uchuugun 2150 (Japanese Spacy 2150)
>Japan has a powerful space force thanks to their development of nuclear fusion engines who are ahead of every other country
>the Japanese claimed a distant planet to colonize
>but the this planet has violent giant bugs who live underground
>the Japanese Spacy (like ArmY or NavY) has to kill the bugs and mayb other alien species before Japan loses the colonization rights for US, EU, or China-Russia.
Dylan Kelly
The Culture or The Polity (a Culture ripoff mostly) would both make excellent fodder for an anime adaptation. Grand sci-fi with quirky characters and TWEESTS.
Evan Davis
>animes
>did anyone ever read these famous books
How's high school treating you?
Isaac Bailey
Honestly, as long as the shows have no teenagers i would probably watch it anyway for trying to do what no one else has the courage. The high school setting has gotten old... 5 years ago
Old school shows had a lot more adult characters and I miss that. Plots were also ironically more straightforward, but because they were solid the storirs came out great.
Bentley Ross
While we're wishing for the impossible:
I want Stargate back, but they kind of ran the show out of road with how much advanced tech the humans now had, and then made an awful BSG ripoff instead of trying to deal with that. An anime would be pretty cool and could handle those problems.
Christopher Martinez
You must live on a bubble. The first pictures of the upcoming movie Dune was the first exposition many adults got to the series. I have the feeling the series was a lot more well known a decade or two ago. An anime adaptation nevertheless could probably do the books justice, better than a couple of 2 hour movies. The problem is the directing. Its been a while since I saw a solidly directed anime for such a high profile job, no names pop off my head at the moment
Ayden Murphy
There isn’t really any demand from the otaku market because they can’t self insert as the generic isekaied guy who solves everything based on what he learned in high school.
Lincoln Jenkins
It had a movie, a miniseries, and is one of the most referenced and ripped-off franchises of all time. It is to sci-fi what Tolkien is to fantasy. It isn't Star Wars popular, but anyone who reads sci-fi knows it and almost definitely has read it.
Jordan Wright
The anime community is honestly what has poisoned so much of the medium.
William Hill
Something like that would have benefited more from a plot that could be planned over a longer period of time and not had existing enemies or their variations be reused for single episodes. By the end they had gotten too much of the advanced tech too, although being unable to build much of it could have made that less of of a problem.
Gabriel Perez
I'm waiting for a new Macross series
Ryder Reed
>How do we restart this genre in anime lads?
Make it an isekai.
Daniel Cooper
I would watch the shit out of a show where Elon Musk and Grimes are anime supervillains.
Brody Robinson
See
Aiden Reed
Is basically Starship Troopers but with Japanese people, also I want mechas like the Nier Automata game but bigger and more realistic with a cockpit instead of the pilot hanging in there.
Isaac Carter
But what about using stuff he learned in games? Isn't that more intresting?
Hudson Johnson
Isn't that just MuvLuv with less suffering?
Colton Murphy
I needed this thread i'm starving for some galatic wars, losing comrades in battle, space cute aliens overpowered MC,and some romance
Carter Nguyen
Mars would probably fit it better than Dune (only read the first). Or Zelazny's Amber series.
How was the Lensman anime? From what I heard the author's family wasn't satisfied.
Isaac Lee
> killing the genre before it starts
Unironically though, it could woek, but it would have to be a very soft isekai. Like perhaps having a human from Earth abducted by accident, and now that he knows about the galactic community, his memories need to be erased. HOWEVER, something goes wrong and he escapes...starting his unlikely adventure as nn illegal entity in a dangerous but plentiful universe
Landon Bennett
Isn't Space Battleship Yamato 2199 getting a third season soon?
Logan Butler
The Claymore guy new manga is a Star Wars clone.
Hudson Thomas
A harem space isekai. I think that fills all the requirements.
Ian Cooper
Isn’t the Lensman anime TV show lost media or something?
Juan Gutierrez
Yeah, less melodrama and more action.
Parker Cox
>tfw we never got season 2 of Outlaw Star
Kevin Robinson
Odd legal limbo outside of Japan, but not lost. Is watchable on the usual suspects.
Owen Cox
What about this?
>MC is a wimpy young scientist working on prototype FTL drive on Jupiter colony
>on routine test of the FTL dive, something goes wrong and MC is forced to evacuate in a pod and looses consciousness
>when picked up, he is immediatelly captured by what looks like antagonistic humans and branded as criminal
>then, he is rescued by 'pirates' he knows nothing about
>then, he learns that he was transported into alternate reality where humanity, instead of peacefully colonizing solar system, are fighting wars over scraps and pirates and mercenaries roam the planets and asteroids
>he learns that his alternate self is a famous pirate (somehow)
>he gets to meet his alternate self and after explaining, he joins the crew
>his crush in his own reality is actually this reality's lover
>following many adventures and dangers, he learns that an evil organization is building a dimensional bomb, that uses same principle as the FTL drive
>he convinces his alternate self, that they should take this and use it to help him get back
>once he gets back, he is changed, more confident and charismatic and lives a great life with his crush
Colton Bennett
Soooooo....
Farscape, more or less
Samuel Cox
>have no teenagers
This, shit like hero academia have their place and that’s a decent manga but there’s absolutely a glut of slice of life high school shows that are unwatchable, but they’ll keep making em cause lol relatable
Gabriel Turner
NOOOOO user we need to have 500 more Highschool and european medieval-y fantasy Isekai settings!!
Isaac Scott
I kinda agree but audiences are dumb because it’s an aggregation of thousands of people watching and most people will watch whatever’s on without much opinion, it’s really on production companies to not be greedy and support something that’s worthwhile rather than high school isekai #190,000 with cute loli
Eli Gonzalez
Wait for Muv-Luv.
Jaxon Murphy
Man you’re just making me realize how much I hate isekai
