What books would make great anime. (manga not included)
Nikkoru:
Eragon was Star Wars done as a medieval fantasy if I recall correctly.
Ya'know if you could do it like Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, Catch-22 by Joseph Hiller would make an awesome anime.

Yes, thank you! When I read it I was wondering where the walking carpet came in.

That would be interesting, provided the proper visual cues are used.

I'm sorry, but I can't really see how Eragon relates to Star Wars...? Maybe I'm just stupid... =P
Another good book which could be made into an awesome anime would be, in my opinion, Twillight... I just love vampires! =P

The plot of the first book: Young man lives on a farm with his uncle since his parents are dead. He finds something secret in the wilderness. He meets an old man who gives him a sword. Said old man is a former member of an ancient organization tasked with protecting the world from evil. Members of this organization can use strange energies in strange ways. While there, his uncle's farmstead is burnt down by bad people. The young man leaves with the old man and learns how to fight, use strange energies and fly. They meet a dashing rogue. Assisted by said rogue, they go and rescue a princess who has been captured and is being interrogated in a dark fortress. As they are trying to escape, a bad guy leader comes along. Old man sacrifices himself so they can escape by flight. They arrive at the good guys' stronghold, where main character mopes for awhile then everyone prepares for the coming battle. In the ensuing battle, he uses strange energy to help him defeat a great evil. END.
What exactly am I talking about? Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Sound familiar?
Speaking of Twilight... It's already been done. For angst, bishies and more angst, watch Vampire Knight.
Nikkoru:
Aww - I was just about to do that.
It's funny how incredibly blatant it is - I've heard from people who've read the series that Eragon's father was someone like Darth Vader too.
