Simple question: Should there be an anime-adaption of the wellknown series Psyren?
And to add more points to the discussion: How many episodes would be needed to stick close enough to the manga-plot, 40,52 or even more?
Should an adaption stick close to the plot or should there be a little more room for character development (I felt that the manga lacked a bit of that except for the 2 male protagonists but I haven't read the whole thing yet), e.g. filler-episodes (the manga has some filler-like sidestories though)?
Is it realistic that any long-running series (manga) like Bleach/Naruto/One piece will get an anime (it seemed to me that most series either won't get an anime adaption (since the 2000's most of the anime are 12/13 or 24/26 episodes, leaving less space in the scedules for longer series) or do you think studios tend to pick shorter series for TV nowadays?

Well then, let the discussion begin:

I myself think there should be an adaption because Psyren is one of the few series that felt like a "real" Shounen-Manga (like Eden no Ori,Mirai Nikki and Deadmen Wonderland, not those typical romantic comedy type that aren't entertaining nor have any romance in it, the worst kind ), presenting a world-is-in-a-pinch-and-needs-to-be-saved-by-our-heroes-setting that's so stereotypical for the best/epic Shounen series.

It should be kept as close to the Manga as possible since the story is good enough as it is. This anime needs to have 40-52 episodes, I don't think it will be any good if 15 volumes are forced into 26 episodes..

Last but not least about realism... It's sad to think so but I don't think it will make it into an anime (like Cage of Eden, that one would be awesome though) because of all the brutal deaths and the blood and the presumably long running-time of nearly a year and high costs for production.

Ok,now it's your turn,tell me what you think

I have completed this manga, and for the most part enjoyed it. Granted it isn't perfect, but it was a fun read, and is a bit more violent then the things of late that I've been reading, which I enjoyed. For me it seems the manga ended too early though, too abruptly, like the author wasn't able to complete the story, but that is just me.

If it were to become an anime, I would most certainly watch it, they could maybe even make it a 24 episode series, but that would be a compressed story, so I would like to see it as 52 if it ever came to fruition.

I finished Psyren recently and I liked it. well it's not perfect as Slush said but it's good enough to get an anime I think...

I haven't completed it yet........maybe 10 chaps to go. But yes I would like to see this in an anime. However I will give some stipulations to that endorsement.

First and foremost there is noway this could be condensed into a 24 or even 26 episode format and do justice to the original work. at least 54. That however is a big commitment.

Next I would be willing to sacrifice charter development for story/plot. Normally I would choose the latter however, in this instance, the story development should be paramount.

That said the final issue is just how many developments/arcs are important? I think there is almost too many directions this story goes in. In fact this is one of the reasons I think it's popularity dropped and why it's ending seems rushed. There is just too many loose ends to tie up. I can see this and I'm not even finished with the manga.

Lose a few story arcs and develop the ones that are left to the utmost. I believe this would serve the story and an anime well.

As long as they dont fuck it up by twisting the story or ending it where it shouldnt.

[amozkunz]

i would prefer if they continue the manga though.. an anime would be great but the story seems incomplete
