If your comic or novel got a anime adaptation, how well do you think anime fans would like it?

[Silver7]

Do you think anime fans would love your comic or novel if it was given a chance as a anime?

[Aeneas1]

I dunno, really. I have long wondered whether audiences would even appreciate a story about a talking snowman who ISN’T comic relief. The story is also peppered with literary references, which I am sure most anime fans wouldn’t get.

[inubasket]

Probably not lol. I think it'd be a fun live-action show or movie! (In my humble opinion lmao.) But I think it'd be kind of weird as an anime; the vibe isn't right. I'm also afraid an anime version would add a lot of fanservice and such to it which I'm strictly against.

[kyupol]

It would have mixed reviews. Mostly on the extreme side of liking it or hating it. Polarized.

And the memes and parodies would come out and probably get more popular

...and of course, the fan boys and fan girls would come out of the woodwork. There will be ai bots based on the characters. New waifus and husbandos lol

At least what I predict. Might be wrong.

[LiviSakura]

Proooobably not.

I think of it sort of with the context of Frieren. My story isn't action-oriented. It's heavily focused on life and how one chooses to live it. How some people face adversity in life. With anime, people seem to need high action to keep them interested. Frieren is so, so good, but because it has more focus on telling a story, there are people who find it too slow. That's even with it having stellar combat scenes!

That isn't to say there wouldn't be some who like it, but I suspect it would just be one of those pieces that would have a tiny following but otherwise overlooked. Which is okay. So long as I'm telling the story I want to tell, that's the main thing. Those who get it, get it.

Look, if Nintendo, Man of Action, and Cartoon Network collaborated to make the Poketrix the way I do, I'd say it would be a highly acclaimed series, and many people even outside the mainstream audience would love it. Anime would love

[Lane_Kalchik]

Fans of fluffy romance qnd light comedy animemight acutally like it. Although, I do believe it would be a much better show if it were a sitcom (live-action or animated) like 'Friends'.

[Leyelle]

The main Damsel In the Red Dress plot wouldn't make for a very good anime imao, both I could see a short sweet anime being made about Andrew and Jinho

[jwabeasley]

Etherwood could be successful as an anime...but it'd be more naturally adapted into a modern western cartoon. I think there'd be a disconnect between my storytelling style and characterizations and the typical anime.

[ButterflyEmpress]

Depends on the budget and talent I'm given. There's tons of great books and manga that got poorly made or unfinished adaptations.

I have a few magical girl concepts that might do well in just those communities since it's kind of a dead genre. The concept I'm focused on now is about goddess. who isn't from any mythology, dealing with trauma. So I think it might be too weird of a concept to catch on no matter how it's adapted

[LunarScyphozoa]

The typical anime absolutely wouldn’t be able to work with Etherwood, but having read it I definitely feel like Studio Ghibli could handle it, albeit messing with the pacing to work for a film.

[jwabeasley]

Now that's high praise! I agree on pacing, comic and film pacing are very different. Like the Nausicaa film and the manga are worlds apart.

[VibrantFox]

i think it would depend heavily on the audience and which story got adapted coz of the main three i'd been developing i can see maybe two being fairly well received but the third would likely end up with a kind of small niche fanbase because of it's content

coz there's the option for the character driven fantasy adventure with enough of a mix of action to keep people engaged, there's the supernatural/fantasy slice of life with comedy and drama elements and then there's the experimental supernatural drama

plus my mindset is that if something as esoteric as lain can earn it's own dedicated fanbase then i've got nothin to lose

[nellyyism]

I believe a lot of anime fans would like it! My comic takes inspiration from the early 2000s ultraviolent dark, and twisted anime. I feel that with all the isekais and Slice of Lifes out there, something dark and edgy might pique some people's interest. Even if it's not a whole lot, I still feel a niche would be filled and would probably have a nice fanbase similar to Serial Experiments Lain or Hellsing!

[faisalhussein394]

That depends on what studio will do the adaptation. I might be ok with the animators of current bleach, Chainsaw man, Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer, and season 1 of one punch man.

However, I prefer the animators from food dungeon.

[LunarScyphozoa]

Abysskeeper Suen is already based on a lot of anime, so I think it’d be received very well by a very small group. Magical girl is already a cult classic of a genre and adding the horror inspired elements definitely doesn’t expand the potential audience. I do imagine it would be the kind of anime that overtakes the source material fairly fast and thus goes completely off the rails in the middle of the show, and the fandom is forever splintered on which canon has the better finale.

[shriraa.sha]

Oh god, I really wish for this to happen with mine!

In terms of reception, I think it would be pretty decent? Mostly due to the 'dire times' and ambiguity surrounding my characters as well as the lore- so I think Veiled Deceit does stand a chance at being a pretty good adaptation. There's quite a lot of suspense and action to keep people effectively hooked and loads of characters for people to like/disagree with.

[Leonotis]

I really think my story would do well. I wrote it in the same spirit as Avatar, Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece—it’s full of action and has plenty of twists to keep readers hooked. I think it would definitely connect with Black anime fans, but honestly, anyone could enjoy it if they’re open to exploring an African-inspired world where all the characters reflect that setting.

[ArtGremlin]

Well, I have a particular story that I personally would love to see as an anime (I think the style would really work for it.) I was once told that this story sounds like something guys at Area 51 would tell each other on their lunch breaks, so I feel like it would perfectly fit the wacky vibes that certain animes have.
I just have to write it… aghhhhh- (can’t decide on the tense/narrative voice

[smilingworg]

you'd be surprised how much western stories do well as anime. One of the current popular titles this season is an anime adaptation of Anne of Green Gables. I believe the anime title is Anne Shirley?
