Another season of Shakugan no Shana would be nice, they may end up making one too. Maybe Kaze no Stigma even though I found the cousin-love subplot to be disturbing (Kazuma and Ayano are cousins if they left that out in the dub).

As for some others: Death Note pretty much exhaused the plot line I don't think another go-through would be very interesting. Gundam Wing? Just watch Seed or 00, there isn't a huge difference.

I really want to say Cowboy Bebop, and am so so SAD that it took so long to be said...but at the same time, i think that it ended perfectly, and really...as amazing a character Spike is, he needs to be dead. Although, a spin-off showing how the rest of the Bebop crew is doing would be ok.

Not 8th MS Team, but something like 8th MS Team. Maybe from Zeon point of view. I like my real mecha with no newtype bullshit and aces being the top.

Other than that, Big O.

gundam wing... nothing beats a good bit of 90 foot tall robots beating the shit out of each other.....

Dude, do you not know what Gundam is? Gundam Wing finished, but there are like 15 other series' of Gundam. The latest, Gundam 00, is better than Wing IMO and will be or already is airing on the Sci-Fi channel.

Blasphemy! No Gundam series is better than Wing, I will take that belief to the grave!

I20I3:
Air gear- Another short lived anime that had way more potential. It was funny with a lot of fan service, which normally I don't like, but I found it very tolerable in this one. Sure it was a bit odd, but that's what made it great and set it apart from the rest.

The thing with air gear and other anime like it (tenjho tenge for example) is that they are at the mercy of the japanese viewing public. If they do not get enough people watching it then they cancel it after 24 odd episodes. And when that happens i think it is a crime to even sell the DVDs of it.

I mean srsly why would anyone buy the DVDs of tenjho tenge if they knew it had no finite ending to it? they would just read the manga if the story is interesting and they like manga. It is the same affair with Gantz and loads of other anime. I watched air gear and I think that the anime did not have a absolute ending, but it could give more closure than most 'cancelled' ones. I don't know what it is about Oh great!s work that doesn't seem to translate over to anime very well.

I think we really should get a petition started tbh, because they do work for manga series, so why not anime too?

An example of this can be zombie powder. Shonen Jump considered Tite Kubo's manga to be too similar to another of their manga, and refused to print it in their magazine. This, coupled with the severe lack of fan mail (the thing which helps writers decide whether or not to keep going with what they are doing)and somewhat mediocre reviews ended with kubo leaving it unfinished, which is a damn shame.

But anyway, answering the question, the anime that should be brought back is tenjho tenge, but it is so graphically violent and full of rape that it would probably never see the light of day on japanese television surely.

HOLY MOTHER OF SPOILERS BATMAN!!!!

lol but seriously I have seen it but others might not have you know? maybe keep it more cryptic next time. Cowboy Bebop definitely did end perfectly.

BTW i have the movie but have not seen it yet. is it a retelling of a story arc or is it something different entirely?

I liked Wing, and I will always remember it as the series that introduced me to Gundam. But now that I own pretty much every Gundam series, Wing would be pretty far down the list if I were to sort from favorite to least.

No! I can't help but feel that any Cowboy Bebop additions would only ruin the series.

I would like to see the Berserk anime continue. But if it were to continue the manga's storyline as it should, it would never be able to air on tv and any DVDs would likely be rated R or even NC-17, which would probably hurt sales.

EDIT:

The movie is treated basically as one of the standard bounty episodes, but spread out over 2 hours. No mention of Julia or Vicious or anything.

8th MS Team, original Mobile Suit Gundam, and I've heard a lot of good things about Zeta Gundam, Stardust Memories, and War in the Pocket.

Zeta rocks dude. CCA is my fav, followed by Zeta, then MSG and so on. UC Gundam is definitely the best, but I really like 00 so far.

They make a new Gundam series like every five minutes or something.

Evangelion come BACK THEN! Can't really imagine how it's possible but I definitly would like to see it

Ongoing at the moment. Rebuild of Evangelion.

Code Geass needs a third season...

Does it bollocks. They couldn't even do two seasons right, and the whole bleeding stump of a badly paced ending got tied off.

Yes! I'm watching through the whole show on you tube =p.

I would have to say Reroni Kenshin. No idea if i spelled that right.

Also if there was any way they could do more Trigun, I would be a happy man.

I too would love to see more Trigun, however it did sorta finish.

I haven't watched 00 Gundam, nor have I watched Zeta. I'm a little put off by Zeta due to the whole expanding newtypes thing. Not a big fan of newtypes. So far my favorite series have been 8th MS Team and that one about the Zeon experimental weapons, the one in 3D. I can't even vaguely remember its name right now though. I loved the tank-zaku thing though.

Hence why I specified that it was done well! The series was way to short for my liking, and there was so much more that could be done with the characters. And while I admit the end of the series was pretty much perfect, the film that followed was still great. :P

Dirty pair, yeah it might be a little on the simple side but I loved it.

Hehe yeah just a little dirty, Air gear more so, but still both are fun, simple, and somewhat mindless entertainment, with plenty of growing room
Damn crows move it.

MS Igloo, which is great, and the 2nd one is coming soon. 00 is another alternate timeline, but its pretty good, some really great Gundam designs.

Even if it was done well, I wouldn't want it. The only way to do it would be to have it before the first series where everyone is still doing their own thing, or after when there is no Spike, Ed, or Ein. Either one ruins one of the key aspects of the series, which is the relationships between the whole crew.

The film also took place some time during the series, but there isn't enough room in that time period to make a whole new series.

Yu Yu Hakusho (sp?)

I loved that so much...

Digimon...but not crap like Data Squad...even season 4 was watchable...3 still remains my favorite season of any show ever.

and probably some other stuff...i gotta think.

Well it only ended recently, so I'm not sure it counts, but D.Gray-man. I don't like manga much and the anime was awesome. Of course I might eventually take up reading the manga if my desperation grows great enough.

New Zoids. But not shitty Zoids, like New Century Zero or Chaotic Century. Also, I think there needs to be another Tengan Toppa Gurren Lagann, with Darry as the protagonist.

I wish they would update "Star Blazers" aka Space Battleship Yamato (1974) with newer annimation and better voice acting. Initial series 1 arc was just amazing.

I couldn't agree with you more, they set Air Gear up so much, basically saying "This will happen and be explained in season 2", and then BOOM end.
P.S. Gantz is messed up (yes i watched all of it) but just a warning to anyone looking into some of these
P.P.S Looking into Tenjho Tenge, I've seen Gantz how much worse could it be.

Princess Tutu, because the author said she had a third season planned before their budget was cut. <3

And SD Gundam Force, because the second season was never shown in America. I WANT GENKIMARU!

if you liked air gear
start reading the manga. it goes further and is beter imo.

same for histories stongest disciple kenichi. the manga goes on and has more story in it.

DB just sucks imo. but off course thats a matter of taste :)

what should be continued however is Aqua, or Aria as the anime is named :)
great story :D.

and off course the following:
Sky girls
Claymore (once again manga goes on and is better but the anime is great too)
Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru
Kasimasi ~Girl Meets Girl~
Ai Yori Aoshi
La Corda d'Oro ~Primo_Passo~ Opus

:D

Sorry but one thing I will not do is "Read the Manga" It just ruins the anime for me, I know things are better about them, but i don't care. I HATE spoilers, and I don't like being let down.

Oh...and Tenchi Muyo. As long as it didn't go the way of Tenchi in Tokyo. And only had Mihoshi without that other, forgettable space police gal.

I could stand some more Tekkaman also.

EDIT: Didn't see the folks above talking about Tenchi Muyo. My faith in otaku rose a little bit there.

a second season of outlaw star, done well would be very much appreciated.

I want it back too, however, if you think about it, at the end of the first season they pretty much solved the greatest mystery in the galaxy, essentially meeting a God, and figuring out the reason for the ship being built. Anything else they could try to do with the plot just wouldn't compare. They kinda wrote themselves into a hole on that one.

That said, grappler ships and casters are just too freakin' cool to let go so, If they do it very carefully, I would definitely watch a second season.

Oh, I almost forgot! Martian Successor Nadesico. Really, letting video games that are only available in Japan to pick up the story where you've left off is just asking for fans to count them out as discontinuity. Yeah, the movie made the whole space-opera parody go dark and edgy on us but there's no reason we can't roll with that, even though a retcon is preferred. In other words, I'd just like the video games to be turned into a TV series because I can't read a whole lot of Japanese. :(

^^ That, and a scond season of Cowboy Bebop (either prequel, with only Spike and Jet, or sequel, without spike, or new characters in the same universe... or just somehow have them slot in before the finalle but after everyone joins, kinda like the movie did.)

Make more Universal Century Gundam shows like 08th MS Team. THAT is how Gundam Should be done and done right. If I could see more war stories like that from a Gundam series then I am satisfied. 08th MS is the BEST Gundam hands down.
