I had a few ideas. Some impossible, but good think about.
- Any Miyazaki movie as a rock opera: I would find it incredibly interesting how it could be possible to translate something that is so somber and quiet, but contains so much radical and mystical visual flair, into something that would be full of noise and music. It’d be hard to replicate, but considering Spirited Away has an entire scene on a train that lasts literally around 6 or so minutes in dead silence, it’d be cool to try and see how another genre would use that silence and convey something with it that the original movie couldn’t.
- Near-Amish Romances done in the same style as one of those sports animes: When you get down to it, sports animes (The ones with a team full of one gender who all work for a “cause” but it’s kind of almost a metaphor for friendship but also a metaphor for sex) are incredibly sterile, especially the ones that appeal to young adult females. My first thought was Free!, one about swimming. I think it’d be interesting to see just how little changes when the “game” is replaced by a person or, better yet, perhaps even an object.
- Ace Attorney, but let’s set it in a more mundane place: I was wondering if the sort of ridiculous court shenanigans of the popular visual novel/crime solving game series Ace Attorney would seem nearly farcical if put in the setting of an office…as in, like, “Trucy, the boss’s daughter, gets caught on the security footage talking to Apollo, and oohhh nooo, are they actually dating? Hope the boss doesn’t find out!” …wherein all the drama and “courtroom” sections are actually arguments between coworkers, and all the testimony is gossip, and the evidence is meant to clear your own name or your friends’ names, not some client.
