Since this is like a big trend in the Anime Industry these days (IE: Steins;Gate, Ore-tachi wa Tsubasa wa Nai, Yosuga no Sora, etc). Which would YOU like to see animated?

Personally, I want to see the MuvLuv series animated. Though a lot of people say Alternative is just too epic to capture in like 13-25 episodes. Or Cross Channel, or maybe even the Rance series.

Though, I don't expect many people to know what the hell I'm talking about.

Strangely, the English translated ones are rarely animated...

Nonetheless, I have so many VNs that I want to be animated, it's not even funny +w+

EDIT: Oh God... Yosuga no Sora Anime wasn't even anime; it was simply hentai =_=

Thanks to that, my "Oh, Yosuga no Sora was pretty good" statement after finishing the game was completely ruined.

I think it's generally VN > Anime, period.

And I remembered some VNs I want animated; Ever17 and I/O =D

Perhaps a Wiki page may be of assistance?

Saya no Uta - "Song" End.

Tsukihime - Arcueid True End.

Those would make me very happy.

Rance does have a few ovas here and there though. I personally can't see it having an anime though. Then again, I've only played Sengoku Rance... and hopefully, Rance 2 sooner or late.

A Cross Channel anime would be brilliant. It would be pure mind rape greater than Higurashi though. Oh my god, so much worse. My mind was absolutely shattered in the first few playthroughs.

Everybody says that Alternative is the only one of the series actually worth it though. The rest is pure moeblobby stuff required for you to watch to better understand Alternative.

A proper Tsukihime anime adaptation would be brilliant. Though, it'd be too hard to do a proper one without having massive amounts of info dump thrown in if it's supposed to cater to non-typemoon fans as well. It's simply overwhelming.

Having something from the What a Beautiful _____ series adapted would be amazing, but one of the major appeals of the visual novels is the absolutely beautiful artwork that simply can't be in the anime.

There's also that long overdue little busters anime nobody has gotten to yet for some reason. Though, I kinda hope it won't be KyoAni animating it if it ever does get an anime though, because their animation has definitely gone more moe-blobby and generic in the past few years.

/listing too many visual novels

Phoenix Wright. Not just some cross-over special.

But for an eroge, G-senjou no Maou or Sharin no Kuni.

Well, yeah. But, I liked Extra and Unlimited. But when I played Alternative I was like "DAYUM SON. **** GOT REAL." And, I still cried at the end of Unlimited especially with the execution of Alternative V. And the lyrics of the ED song didn't help either. ;_;

Yeah, lol. On my first playthrough I was depressed for a while. But not as bad as Muv Luv Alternative did for me in the PTSD-arc. [SPOILER="Spoiler"]I mean, Marimo dying TWO times AND Sumika being Basketball hoop-crushed was just...Ugh. I ended up wrapped in a blanket in a corner somewhere[/SPOILER] But yeah, Cross Channel anime would be awesome. [SPOILER="Spoiler"]Especially since there are no specific routes, he ends up with ALL of the girls technically.[/SPOILER] But I dunno about the Tower of Friends part though. That might be too mind rape, even for an anime.

QFT. This is also in deserving of a rep.

I noticed that everyone is only listing English-translated VNs... There are LOTS of VNs that would be good if made into an anime... that's in Japanese

Flyable Heart was a pretty good one...
Oh, Oretsuba (which came out recently and is running) is also a good one. If you didn't play the game, you'd be going, "WTF" throughout the entire anime xD; (Although they can be a little limiting on the fanservice; they're taking all the airing time for what could be some good stories)
The ef series (I hope everyone watched it) exceeded my expectations

I guess those are the ones I can think off the top of my head =x

I don't think many of us can read Japanese.

Or know about Atlas to get a basic grasp about what's going on in the story.

Tried to use Atlas a few years ago.

Personally, if I want to know what the basic story is about, I'd much rather use a wikipedia summary, tvtropes, anime forums, and reviews. While Atlas is much better than online translators, it's still not good enough imo. Not to mention, text hookers don't work with all visual novels.

And other than that, I'm rather picky about my translations.

I'll like it if they animated the True Path of Fortune Arterial instead of butchering the story like they did in the first anime version.

They're r18+ visual novels.
I find it kind of funny that the main character is a loli girl in both of them.
