Things that should be anime but never are

This is a pretty self explanatory question, and we all ask it sometimes. Have you ever loved a Light novel, visual novel, game, book, manga, etc so much that you wished it had an animated version with all your favorite characters voiced by your favorite voice actors? If yes! What are they?

You can also feel free to add who you think the cast should be for fun. xD

For myself, I personally do not understand why Little Busters never got an anime of its own (given the actual story, it actually should be quite...dramatic), as Key's games more than often have more than one anime adaptation of the same title (like Air movie and the 13 episode, same with Kanon with the original and remake).

    Uhm, most of the time I'm let down by anime adaptations except for a couple of awesome ones... but a few series I'd like to see them try making into an anime are:

    Manga: Yotsubato!, 20th Century Boys, Yankee-kun to Megane-chan, Otomen, Oresama Teacher, 3 Gatsu no Lion, Koukou Debut, Solanin, Pluto.

    Light Novel: Zaregoto series, more Full Metal Panic!

    Gundam 00P
    Fonn spaak should have a badass english voice actor. Like Lucas Gilbertson for example.

    While I think a Yostuba&! anime could work, I can respect the mangaka's decision to leave it a manga exclusive. One other series that I'd like to see as an anime is Change123. Maybe Franken Fran as well, but the adaptation for that would be a little more rough.

    I would enjoy an anime baised on Yokohama Kidashi Kikyou. It would have that same feel as mushishi.
    And maybe II"s tho I think there was.a 2ep OVA.

    I would love to see Gundam Crossbone and Gundam Seed Astray in Anime. That'll be the coolest Gundam Series

    I know Little Busters! I love it but I haven't play it yet.
    What puzzles me is that, why lots of people said that its story was so nice and they all love Little Busters! to be animated. I believe that, but why'd everybody loves it? Im assuming lots of Otaku can't understand Japanese yet so why?
    Is there a Little Busters! manga in english translated or the visual game?

      A better Negima would be nice, but I think they're sticking with ovas

    "Crescendo" visual novel by D.O Corp is another gem that should be made into anime

    I agree with the Gundam Crossbone mention above. It'd be awesome to have an anime of it, but I'm not so sure if we'll get one any time soon.

    I also agree with Little Busters, though I think we'll get one eventually. Personally, I hope it'll be KyoAni's next anime after the one they're making right now.

    Percy Jackson...?
    I really wish it be done, but at the same time, I know it would be probably be done badly.
