This is something I've wondered about a lot, cause I def think it'll get an anime at some point, despite the fact that the story doesn't readily lend itself to an anime adaptation.

Personally, I tend to think a SG;0-esque approach (as you discussed in the video) would be its best bet at success

How Could an Anonymous;Code Anime Work?
YouTube video by Bassman Reviews How Could an Anonymous;Code Anime Work?

Fans often regard Anonymous;Code as impossible to adapt.

But comments from series creator Chiyomaru Shikura suggest he might self-fund an anime regardless.

With the year 2038 problem just 12 years away, let’s discuss how an anime adaptation could work.

It has been more than half the month, and I have received absolutely no work assignments, including from my most major client, who has never gone this long without assigning me work before. Please let me help you make closed captions while I continue looking for other work.

my new video, The Mundane Misery of MAGA's Bluey Copycat, is now up on Nebula 🩡 and will be up on YouTube once copyright nonsense clears. Chip Chilla claims to bring the magic of literature to kids in conservative homes. Does it?

i hate to say it but... it's Chilla Time.

Last year, I was able to explore Nippon Animation where they gave me unfettered access to the studio, including work on an episode with Chibi Maruko-chan, interviewing animation veterans, opening up film cannisters, and browsing Miyazaki-original drawings.
