One of the more popular racing franchises in the west is the Fast & Furious series. This over the top franchise has continued gracing movie theaters for nearly two decades now and fans—including us—can’t get enough of it. Japan has seen a popular racing car anime franchise—in the form of Initial D—but imagine a Fast & Furious anime? Rev those engines up folks and let’s all hope that Universal Pictures decides to change the racing anime genre up with this amazing Western movie series!

Even if you aren’t a big action/spy movie fan there’s no way you haven’t heard of Mission Impossible. Since the early 90s, Tom Cruise has stared as one of the coolest action spies out there donning the role of Ethan Hunt. Getting Tom Cruise to voice Ethan in an anime adaptation might be a pricey venture—he tends to ask for a lot of money for his films—but we’d love to see spy-themed episodes of Ethan’s team trying to save the world from various threats and other darker agencies. Plus, imagine hearing the awesome Mission Impossible opening song done with an anime spin. Our ears can hear it now.

An alien that can clone any living creature is a nightmarish concept and it’s why John Carpenter’s The Thing was considered a classic horror movie back in 1982. The Thing originally was considered a flop but as the years passed people realized that John Carpenter made a true masterpiece. The beauty of The Thing being animated would be the ability for an anime studio to create an original plot using The Thing as the base. Maybe a 13-episode series where new survivors in Antarctica are facing the unknown alien or maybe use the original cast—at least their likeness—and just redo the movie but with an anime style. In all honesty, we wouldn’t care how The Thing would be animated as long as they make the series keep us up at night.

John Wick—starring Keanu Reeves—has become such a hit action movie franchise that it has spawned three movies, a fourth coming out in a few years, and a video game! ‘Why?’ you might ask. Simple, folks, because John Wick is a straight-up fun and exciting gun-blazing series! Imagine now if a studio like Madhouse or even Studio Bones adapted John Wick into a long-running anime? We’d be watching gun-fu fights and high octane action for weeks!
