We are looking at manga that have been created that are so epic that they deserve a direct anime of them.

Now when we say this, we mean an anime that directly copies the manga (i.e. Dragonball and Naruto series).

Mangas that have had anime that were different from the original do still qualify, but ones that have had movies or series that were identical to the manga series are not (sorry, Gantz and Tsubasa).

1. Holyland

A drama-filled martial arts manga of your typical wimp from school who was picked on so much that he stopped going all together.

However, during his self-incarceration, he secretly studied boxing and found himself roaming the dangerous night life of Japan, gaining the underground name of "The Gangster Killer".

The story is extremely great with its telling of the boy's struggles, both in boxing and building himself as a person.

The manga also delves very deep into the world of martial arts, and firmly describes the real mechanics and principles of the styles portrayed, from Boxing to Karate, and more.

With the time one can lose in reading this wonderful manga, it's a wonder why they're not animating it.

2. Karate Shoukoushi Kohinata Minoru

Yes, yes, it's another fighting manga, but this one follows the principles and doctrine of real martial arts.

A young man who grew up in the world of gymnastics gains an insatiable fascination for the world of karate, particularly from a monster student by the name of Muuto Ryuuji.

The manga follows his development from just a green-eared child to an up-and-coming karateka. Very fast-paced and very artfully beautiful in its portrayal of the real MA world, it's about time we see that on the big screen.

3. Liar Game

One of the greatest psychological manga of all time, Liar Game even gives the twisted story of Death Note a run for its money.

It follows the unfortunate luck of Kanzaki Nao, a girl too honest for her own good, who gets caught up in a secret gambling ring that deals in making many people gamble millions that they don't have in order to win millions more.

However, the millions each person starts with is a loan, and they have to pay back that loan after each game. Should they not make enough, they spend the rest of their life in servitude to pay back this debt.

While there have been numerous live-action retellings of this story, and they have never done it any justice, especially the newer season 2 of the Korean version.

4. Noblesse

From the genius mind of Son Jae Ho and the talented hand of Lee Gwang Su, comes one of the greatest supernatural stories of vampires.

It follows the secret member of the vampire society, Kadis Estrama D'Raizel, as he finds himself awoken after centuries of sleep in a strange new world.

With large landscapes, beautiful scenes and artfully intense battle visuals, Noblesse needs its own anime right now.

5. The God Of High School

From the creative mind of Park Yong Jae, GoH is a very nail-biting and exciting supernatural martial arts manhwa that has sadly been completely off the radar of all anime studios.

With an extreme myriad of different kinds of kinds of characters, and loose ties to many mythologies, GoH strikes a tune with the harp of almost any reader's heart.

Now we just need to be able to watch it.

Top 10 Best Anime Series That Deserve a Remake

6. Until Death Do Us Part

Another action manga, Until Death Do Us Part is one of the greatest manga with a mix of martial arts and science fiction.

Meet Tooyama Haruka, a young girl who was born with the very unique ability of precognition. She was discovered and is now chased by a notorious underground syndicate.

Luckily, her ability allowed her to flag down an equally notorious blind swordsman by the name of Hijikata Mamoru. This manga deserves an anime adaptation, and will not have justice until it gets it.

7. Gamble Fish

In Gamble Fish, we follow Shirasagi Tomu as he infiltrates as a transfer student into the elite high school of gambling known as Shishido Academy.

While it seems he's just a cocky gambler, he's actually the son of the world's most famous gambler, Shirasagi Gokujima, and looking to find and rescue his father.

It's so sad to say that this manga will never get a chance to publish into an anime as there is an extreme amount of fan-service (up to full, but all non-displayed nudity) of 14-16 year old girls.

8. Drifters

Made by the minds and artists who brought us the delicious Hellsing manga series, Drifters is a slow-moving manga that does well to tickle the humor of not just the typical fan of samurai, but also anyone who enjoys history of the western world from philosophers to wild-west buffs.

We get to watch Shimazu Toyohisa supposedly die in the Battle of Sekigahara and wind up in a different world rather than actually dying.

There, he finds himself strangely teamed up with Nasu no Yoichi and Oba Nobunaga to survive a world of oppressed humans, elves and dwarves, and being hunted as he's labeled as a Drifter.

9. Ubel Blatt

Despite it not having much of a premise, the story itself is more than deep enough to keep you reading page to page.

From the amazing mind of Etorouji Shiono, and published by the awesome Square Enix, Ubel Blatt is one of the greatest fantasy-themed action manga of all time.

With Square Enix as its main publisher, we know that if they give a green light to an anime adaptation, it would be the best we'll ever watch on the small screen.

10. Akumetsu

From the brilliant mind of Yoshiaki Tobata and the skilled artistry of Y?ki Yugo, Akumetsu is literally the greatest mind-bending seinen manga ever made.

Akumetsu is an army that dons devil-like masks, killing corrupt politicians via suicide kills, all in intimidation to the nation's Prime Minister, Murase Shintaro, to end the corruption and to save the nation and to prevent another event like with Katsuragi.

Undoubtedly, Akumetsu absolutely must see a small and big screen direct adaptation.
