So now that we're pretty much 99% certain Yuna is getting an anime, what's next?
The likely candidates for anime adaptations right now would be:
I don't think we should count out Hinomaru Zumo yet after what happened to Saiki, right? It could get a semi-long running adaptation from Toei or something, adapting the first part of the manga, maybe that's what they were waiting for before they went in for an anime. Ideally, if Hinomaru ever gets an anime, I'd like it to be from a better studio, but at this point, I just hope some anime comes out, it could really use some promotion. Ideal studio for me would probably be Production I.G.
Kimetsu no Yaiba
Well, this is inevitably going to get an anime, I would say they will announced it sometime next year and it will likely be out in 2019 or if they want to hurry it will be out in late 2018.
Ideal studio for this would be Bones, but who knows how busy they'll be by the time Jump want an anime for this, honestly Bones are kind of the ideal studio for everything when it comes to shounen adaptations. It's kind of hard to think of a studio that will really handle the more unique style the manga has properly. I hope they at least bother to give it to someone that will respect the character designs and won't botch them up. I would be perfectly fine with Production I.G or Wit handling the show, they'd do a good job. I think MAPPA would also handle it decently, I'm watching the new Garo anime this season and it has the heavy demon thematic elements to it, it's brutal, and MAPPA are doing a good job on that, they also did Ushio to Tora, which is pretty similar to Kimetsu, so I think they would be good.
Other studios that worked on WSJ adaptations recently are Lerche, which I don't think would be the best fit, J.C Staff are pretty good, but I also don't think they would be a good fit and Shaft could work out if they get the right people to work on it, if Shaft handled Kimetsu in a similar fashion to 3-gatsu-no-lion, I'd be totally happy with them handling things.
A studio I don't like that has big chances of getting this is Pierrot, hopefully that doesn't happen, there's also Deen that could be a risk. Probably some people would also say Madhouse are good pick, but I disagree, they're nothing but a shell of their former selves.
Yakusoku no Neverland
This one is obviously also getting an anime without a doubt, but it depends what approach they want to take. They could go the BnHA route and adapt the manga super early on, in theory a 1 cour season of the show adapting the 1st arc and the first four volumes could work out nicely. Or they'll wait for more content to be out and give it a 2 cour adaptation. Obviously, they need to give this to a very competent studio and a very competent staff, they can't half ass it, it won't have enough impact if they give it to a crappy studio.
So, we can either get an anime announcement next year or in 2019. If we get an anime announcement in 2018, then it will likely come out in either late 2018 or in 2019.
Ideal studio would be Bones, as I said above, they're the ideal studio for anything shounen related in my eyes, they'd definitely do the stunning artwork justice and I'm sure they'd get the right staff to work on it. Another good choice in my eyes is studio Wit, with a director that handles psychological series well, and I wouldn't mind AOT's director working on it for example, he would be a right fit. Production I.G could probably also work things out.
I honestly wouldn't want any other studio besides these 3 handling the anime, maybe I'd also be OK with Mappa, but only if they get an amazing director.
A lot of people would probably say Madhouse is a good pick, but I disagree like I did above with Kimetsu, Madhouse are nothing like they used to be before and they simply wouldn't do the manga justice.
I guess that's about it for now.
For Yuuna, I'd like to see studio J.C Staff and I wouldn't mind Lerche.
