Serious Why aren't there anime adaptations of classics from western literature?

[Mainländer]

I like anime but tbqh most plots and plot developments are pretty poor in like 90%+ of them. Especially the endings, the only good ending I ever saw in an anime was Gunbuster's.

The real selling point of anime is its a e s t h e t i c s, so why not adapt great stories from the classics from literature? Then we'd get the best of both worlds.

Of course the japs could throw in some loli shit or something as a bonus to make it even better.

Nabokov's "Lolita", and no need to add anything ¦>
Western ecranisations suck, and even harmfull in ideologicall way

I've read that one, would be a great as an anime indeed!

ecranisation

Vocabularymogs me.

But I agree. Pretty much everything produced by the western media in the last 20 years or so sucks because of the SJW and feminist pushing.

I think my favorite anime that came to "plot" was definitely Death Note, but the drawing style wasn't very "anime looking" which is why I assume nearly every normie has seen it. You're right there are hardly any animes with the "anime aesthetic" that have a universally good plot.

Death Note's plot was indeed way above average for an anime. But I dropped it anyway on episode 19 or so (after they moved to that other building).

Imagine a story like "Lolita" like Napoleon said above, but with K-On aesthetics???

Yeah the ending of Deathnote was a let down compared to how well it started. So I guess there still isn't an anime that comes to mind that has adapted a good plot with the aspects of anime that we like (lolis ).

Not sure what Lolita is. Worth checking out?

I'm still to watch some good loli anime but there are two good loli mangas I've read. First is Kodomo No Jikan, probably the best loli manga ever, I highly recommend. It has an anime adaptation but it only covers like 1/10 of the story.

Second is Miman Renai, very cute, the ending is a bit too politically correct but even then it's very good.

Lolita is a Russian book, I liked it, I'd recommend it as well.

Does it have a happy ending?

no

It's been quite a while since I read but I wouldn't call it happy... but it's decent.

sub 80 IQ fanservicecel.
Also the premise of an adaptation of a western classic just sounds plain boring imo.

Why? The best anime have fanservice. Gunbuster is my favorite one, I unironically think it has the best plot of the history of anime and it has tons of fanservice.

Like, why watch the heroine do some epic shit while you can watch that AND see her cute titties as well?

Do you think anime plots are good on average?

 

[Cuyen]

I would watch it if there was anime adaptation of scarface

 

[Mainländer]

Seconded. That's a movie I liked.

 

[BitterCel]

I think an anime adaptation of the punisher would be based

 

[Cuyen]

Seconded. That's a movie I liked.

It was really good along with the godfather

I think an anime adaptation of the punisher would be based

There is already one tbh

 

[Mainländer]

We should get loli adaptations of old Chinese kung fu movies as well.

 

[nekomimimodo]

You should watch the anime adaptation of the Count of Montecristo
Also back in the 70's it was more common to find anime adaptations of western works like Anne of the green gables and A Dog of Flanders, but nowadays nips barely give a shit about western works

There are,they're just different and weird.

Someone already posted one of Romeo and Juliet, can you post more? Bonus for recent ones.

I don't know modern anime based in western literature but there are some old anime.
The treasure island adaptation was cool

I grew up in the 90s.

I was just about to say Fate series but is more about other type of literally, historically and folklore

Is that based on some western book? I didn't know tbh.

It's more like bring King Arthur, Joan of Arc, Shakespeare, Greeks heroes and etc back to life to make a battle royale while we explain their stories in the background and also they sometimes change their genders

 

[Vorbei]

I think Don Quixote is the best candidate for an anime adaptation.

 

[mybodyisrotting]

Japs really can't write a good ending if their life depended on it. It's one of the reasons why I don't watch anime all that much anymore.
They definitely should do more historical and western novel-based stuff. Some of my favourite manga are based on real historical figures / events (Historie and Wolfsmund, highly recommended). I guess japs just aren't very interested in anything that has no relation to glorious Nippon

I've always noticed that, I was impressed with how much they sucked at it tbh. But then I saw Gunbuster.

 

[Blacktarpill]

There is some manga like that but i guess they are just lazy.
