30 Day Manga/Anime Meme - Day 9

09. A manga/an anime you'd like to see more of

I just finished a rewatch of one of my favorite anime, Princess Nine, and I'm still disappointed that it didn't get more seasons. I want to see the Kisaragi Girls go to Koshien and win! As much as I love the series, the end was kind of disappointing.

I don't mind so much that they lost -- it would have been really unrealistic if they managed to get to Koshien during their first year playing -- but I hated how they lost. If only Ryo and Izumi weren't so preoccupied with their romantic woes, they probably would have had a decent shot at winning the regional semifinals. (I'll give Koharu a pass, since her worries about her father's health were more serious). It annoyed me that they lost because of something like that, and not because they simply were up against a better team.


Another series I would love to see more of is the Fruits Basket anime, another one of my favorites. Granted, they would probably have to do another FMA-like reboot, since some things they added in the anime contradict later revelations in the manga, but it would be awesome to see the entire series animated, especially the last two Zodiac members. (Rin is one of my favorites!)

As for manga, it would be wonderful to see Ai Yazawa finally recover from her mystery illness and complete NANA. (And maybe even see a continuation of the anime?) Also, I recently learned that the Story of Saiunkoku manga is only nine volumes long, meaning that it'll probably end at the same point as the first season of the anime. One of the reasons I started reading the manga is because I wanted to know more of the story past that point, so it's disappointing that it ended so soon. (The second season was never licensed, and the original light novels go on even further.) I'd like to see all of the light novels adapted into manga form.
