Max Brooks - World War Z should make a good anime.

It's too bad Earthsea got such a disappointing treatment, because I had hopes for that one as an anime.
If Production IG did The Silmarillion, it might just kick ass.
When I first watched Mind Game, I was reminded of some of Haruki Murakami's novels, which I think would make great films if done in a similar style.

I saw the title and my head screamed The Silmarillion too. Especially with Production IG, though I wouldn't mind if Shinichiro Watanabe did it instead. He'd make a fun watch.
But I'd rather have it live action. Peter Jackson's epic Battle of Last Alliance scenes were pantsu-explosive enough for me to want him back, despite what he did to the LotR storyline.
As for ASIF.. HBO did Rome. 'Nuff said, I think--one of the only TV-type live actions shows that I would actually sit through and watch. That and Battlestar Galactica. Maybe.
Watchmen anime wouldn't be bad, if the movie flops, though the trailers make it look like it'll be pretty close to the original comic.
Madeleine L'engle's stuff wouldn't do so bad in an anime. Her books, especially the "Wrinkle In Time" series, are already plot-lined like a lot of animes--and C.S. Lewis' Chronicles Of Narnia.

There is a TV series for this book under the name of "Legend of the Seeker". It's in the first season with 11 episodes aired so far.
I found it disappointing though. After the first episode, it becomes WAAY too different from the book(s). Turns me off to any idea of an anime adaptation.

Uhhh
Terrence Mckenna's Food of the Gods?
::)

i think that any of the works by William Shakespeare would make some pretty kickass anime. especially Midsummer Night's Dream, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and Hamlet. the complex story lines mixed in with some humor and WTF moments would make the perfect anime.
