| Not getting an anime, should not get an anime Some manga are just better as manga and arn't fit for an anime adaptation Oyasumi punpun is one of them, Vagabond too. If theres any highly appreciated manga that should get an anime adaptation, thats 20th century boys, i personally think it would make a great anime too |

| DONT MAKE MAPPA SEE THIS DONT GIVE THEM IDEAS its as if anime fans nowadays have ADHD attention span so you shouldn't expect dialogue-heavy mangas to get adapted |
| I've read the manga recently and found it to be a difficult piece to anime.... |

| i just can't imagine it working as an anime tbh. it's a great manga, let's just keep it at that. |

crescensXG said: "One of my regrets about Punpun is how I alienated so many of my readers. With every dark turn the manga took, sales dropped. The first brutal image comes in the Uncle Yuichi flashback, and sales took a dip there, hard. And then Punpun kills someone, and it takes another dip. It’s a story that I really worked hard for to reach the end, so I wish people would try reading it all the way through. It might not leave you in a great mood, but hey. (laugh)" Whole interview here.^That said, and even though I'm not entirely its biggest fan, I still really want an anime. I bet it would not work well, but I want to see this community's reaction to the extreme nihilism. -g- Was asked a couple times here over the years, so I'll just quote myself. That said², I would appreciate a Holograph movie much more than preachy Punpun, though. -g- |
My Rereads | My Favorite Mangaka | Soylent Green Buy stuff, or buy at least your favorites if you can afford it - Don't be lame. D W-W&N 🤍 MAL is far from being my primary site for literature, which is why I’ve stopped doing single-chapter updates. Baka-Updates and two French sites are far superior—more detailed, complete, and less restrictive. They're perfect for manga, light novel, and book collectors like me, making the process much less stressful and tiring. -g- |
| It could definitely work and be a wonderful adaptation, but it's definitely risky. If we ever get I wish they keep Punpun completely silent like in the manga, not even a narrator saying his lines, just a cut to a black screen with text like old silent movies. Goodnight Punpun is a very unique manga, so the anime would be kinda experimental Btw a live action definitely WOULDN'T WORK. Punpun, his family and many face expressions only work because they're drawings, it wouldn't translate well to live action. |
| I keep hearing that it wouldn't work as an anime adaptation, but why? Is it just because we never see Punpun talk directly like every other character, but the narrator telling us what he is saying? There are various ways to deal with that, I don't see the issue. You'd need a very good director, of course. The huge issue that prevents it from being adapted is that it's too dark, I mean real darkness and not superficial edginess (which I even like, I'm not criticizing works relying on that). |
