The same way I don't want to watch any anime as a western movie.
Those two worlds should never cross.

if done right, it can work.
Anybody remember the show, Gankutsuou? Based on the novel The Count of Monte Cristo? Man, was that a good anime or what
High five to anyone who remembers

In trying to introduce my sister to anime, I tried to have her watch Dear Daddy Long-Legs, which is based on one of her favorite books. I thought they did a fairly OK job adapting it, but my sister couldn't get over the main character appearing to be significantly younger than in the book, and didn't like it at all.

Quite a late reply to your tangent but how about Gankutsuou? It's an anime version of the Count of Monte Cristo. With scifi elements and interesting visual style. They've also added the anime staple of flashbacks. The original book goes in chronological order, the anime starts from the middle and fills in details about the past later.
fohfoh:
Would anyone laugh if there was a bible anime? Would anyone download it just to see how "bad" or "good" it was?
I wouldn't mind seeing the resident evil series as an anime. Or even those video game books such as Diablo or Starcraft. (But mainly resident evil)
