The Guyver

I'd love to see more G Gundam but it's hard to imagine them actually doing that. They released a new novel though so maybe...

I just want my HG Nether Gundam kit. Is that too much to ask?! Maybe a HG Cobra Gundam too, and a RG Nobell Gundam to match RG God Gundam?

Space Brothers had the first 20 something volumes turned into a fantastic 99 episode anime, but in 2014, they caught up to the source material so stopped. It totally deserves a continuation, as there's another ~20 manga volumes out now.

Hmmm, a number of very weird ones come to mind first...

• Shangri-la (2009)
• The Third: Aoi Hitomi no Shoujo (2006)
• El Cazador de la Bruja (2007)
• Real Drive: Sennou Chousashitsu (2008)

Maybe because I had too much time to watch obscure stuff back then, and I love me some rare animus. Then again, they all weren't all that good, probably why they only had one season. And it's all female-led sci-fi I just noticed, shows my preferences...

Captain harlock

Full Metal Panic. It’s one season away from being finished.

What's considered "older" anime?

Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor – i remember something big started to happening at the end of season, so i wish there was a second season. Also can mention: The Ones Within.

Well, assuming that a modern remake or continuation can manage to recapture the magic of the original and retain its style:

Bubblegum Crisis (NOT Tokyo 2040)

Golden Boy

Haruhi

Baccano! was really good, I wish it hadn't ended where it did

"K-On!" sequel pls 🥺

Also, "Gangsta." did not deserve what happened to it. Same for "So I'm a Spider so What?", although it's rather recent.

And why do all the titles that come to mind have freakin punctuation in them?

2020s

Needs a sequel

86 - still has source material to adapt

How heavy are the dumbbells you lift? - still has source material to adapt

Needs a reboot / remake / sequel

Gundam: Witch from Mercury - could have been extended to show us more of its lore

2010s

Needs a sequel

Cautious Hero - still has source material to adapt

Sakura Trick - still has source material to adapt

Hyouka - still has source material to adapt

Too Old

Needs a reboot / remake

Gundam X - deserves to be properly made instead of getting cut short due to pressures

Wait a second. Some of these anime came out only recently, you may say.

That just mean you are old, boomer. /s

NGNL.

I want Dragon Half to get a full run. Shit was hilarious.

Nana

I'd like to see Pumpkin Scissors and Zipang completed up to the ends of their respective manga (although Zipang was controversial enough that it might be really difficult to get it made). Likewise, Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi up to the end of the light novel series. And, just as an extra, it would be nice to see the last arc or two of Ghost Hunt make it to anime, although that would have to be an OAV as I'm pretty sure it would make six episodes max.

I'd love to see Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs ride again.

Also Samurai Pizza Cats, not sure if the magic of the dub can be recaptured though.

If I can choose a manga that never finished and deserves both a revival and an anime?

Zombie Powder

Akagi. Ended halfway through the Washizu arc because they caught up to the manga, now it's finally done so I'd love to see them go back and complete it.

Also from the same mangaka, Kaiji. Part 3 is the best and it's a damn shame that the anime ends right before then.

My answer to this used to be Panty + Stocking, but they have a new season coming out on my birthday!

I guess now my pick is 009-1. I really love a good East vs West rivalry, and having a femme James Bond doing espionage in a world where the Soviets never collapsed really hit a lot of notes. I gets pretty weird towards the end, and I wish they had another season to go even weirder.

discussed this question with my same aged friend and we kept going through things and realizing they'd already been remade or being like "yeah it was great at the time but that time sure has passed"

I feel like any I'd mention have already been done and I never bothered to watch it.

07 ghost. An interesting anime with a fully fleshed out Manga.

• It has a fantastic Gregorian esc future world aesthetic with grim reapers. One main original one that serves the role of the main antagonist character. And 7 others that oppose him known as the 7 ghosts that mainly serve as side characters.

• has a really solid soundtrack that I think fits it's anime well

• Has a really enjoyable side character / mentor for the MC character with a Jiriya each love for women.
