Books that should be converted to anime
With books like Count of Monte Cristo and Return of the Condor Heroes converted to anime....which book do you think should be in anime?
I think Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a perfect candidate

Why must it be anime, why not just a normal cartoon or a motion picture? I like anime just as much as I like american cartoons.

I guess it has something to do with this being the anime forum.Buzkashi wrote:Why must it be anime, why not just a normal cartoon or a motion picture? I like anime just as much as I like american cartoons.
You know, if the topic was:
Books that should be converted to normal cartoon or motion picture.
or
Books that should be converted into a broadway musical...
Somehow that wouldn't quite fit in here.
Blade runner...some of Isaac Asimov's books like Black sun...
There are alot of anime that is influenced by sci-fi novels. Cobra: Space Adventure is one example. But I think Blade Runner would fit perfectly in the anime/manga world.

I'm not too sure if I Robot was based on one of his books, or was inspired by it. The Three Laws were made by Asimov. I recall I Robot as being one of his short stories, but I cannot be certain. I read most of his books, as well as Phillip Dick's Blade Runner. It fascinated me that he could write scientific novels with such depth and detail, but well, after all, he was a biochemist. I wanted to become a scientist because of his books, and those are the subjects I choose for Uni. He wrote both Science and Science fiction books.

I just watched Ghost in the Shell 2, and it was pretty damn awesome. I just love deep ass shit like that. Anyway, it had been a long time since I had seen the first movie, and watching this earlier also reminded me of Asimov. Do you think his work also had influence with this anime? I mean, surely it had to, right?
I think you're right. Asimov's robot stories often referred to the ghost in the machine. Several algorithms in a cybernetic brain that combine to create new structures reminicent of a conscious mind/soul. In GitS the same thing happens with a virus that spreads over the net.
I'm still looking for good subs of GitS2:Innocence. Which group's version did you watch?

Trog: The best version out there is by KAA, here's a link to one of their dl mirrors: http://epic59.freeservers.com/torrentpage/ . You should see Innocence in the movies section, but here's the torrent link anyways: http://epic59.freeservers.com/torrentpa ... kv.torrent .
