Universes you'd like to see serialized.

Post by Stahlseele »

So, after having started to watch the old classic battletech animated series again and noticing how, despite it being hammy as shit 80's trash, it is still about 95% correct on all the small little details of the universe i find myself thinking:
what other universes would the denizens like to see adapted in the format of animated video content with that level of attention to detail?

we will for sake of discussion ignore the fact that any such series would today be completely butchered by marketing, political correctness and an attempt to make it cool/better looking by fucking about with the source material and not being close to anything resembling the original setting . .

I'll go first:
Shadowrun. Perfectly suited, because it's basically A-Team with Magic set in Robocop intro Guy Voice: Detrot, the near future.

Warhammer 40k. Probably pretty much impossible to do it any kind of justice, because the universe is just so batshit insanely huge and bonkers.
Also, not very marketable because of more NC17 than PG13.

Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.

A Warhammer 40k adaption by Studio Madhouse. Their works include Vampire Hunter D: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LlL4AkStIcY

The character designs were done by Yoshitaka Amano, who also did the Japanese covers of Elric novels. Jes Goodwin had also sculpted Elric miniatures so Amano is close to the aesthetic of one of 40k's main artists.

One of Madhouse's films has a sci-fantasy heavy metal vibe reminiscent of 40k, Redline:
