Live-action adaptations of anime have become a trending topic, with the glaring example of Netflix’s One Piece. In the same vein, several popular Western movies are series are also receiving anime adaptations, like Suicide Squad Isekai. Thus, fans have suggested one legendary series that could go beyond any other adaptation: Breaking Bad.
This popular franchise has gone against all expectations to win two Emmy Awards along with critical acclaim. Even after a decade of its end, it still enjoys extremely high ratings and views. So why not test the market with an anime version of Breaking Bad?
The Anime Market is Ripe forBreaking Badto Conquer
Breaking Bad has undoubtedly reached a massive following worldwide, and every fan wants it to spread even more. (Cue a montage of you suggesting it to your friends and family). If Breaking Bad needs to conquer more audiences, then the best medium for it would be anime. It would ensure that a whole squad of otakus would be invested in the series.

So far, anime like Suicide Squad Isekai, Highlander: The Search for Evidence, Supernatural: The Animation, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Legend of Supermutant have been adapted from popular Western franchises. While some have performed extremely well, others have notreached a wider audience, and this could be due to various parameters like animation quality, music, directorial skill, the popularity of the original franchise, etc.
But one thing is for sure, the anime industry is thriving more than ever now. Several studios like MAPPA, Toei, Bones, and KyoAni have emerged with their superior animation quality as well as overall production procedure. If there was any time when an anime adaptation of a serieswould be well-received, it is now. Given the fact that anime is just as popular overseas as it is in Japan, it can be the perfect medium to boost Breaking Bad.
ShouldBreaking BadReceive an Anime Adaptation?
Ever since Breaking Bad ended in 2013, fans have been dying to get another glimpse of its iconic characters. It is unlikely that the series will receive a sequel, so a new adaptation is the last hope for fans. And what better way to rejuvenate a series than to provide it with an anime makeover?
A Breaking Bad anime has been discussed plenty of times among fans. Some agree that several scenes in the series could be further fleshed out if it received an anime adaptation. Of course,many scenes might have to be alteredor cut out depending on the requirements of the anime. In fact, some original scenes are bound to lose their luster in the adaptation procedure.

However, a responsible anime studio will definitely take it upon itself to create a perfectly inspired anime. The plot might not remain the same as the source material, but fans would love to see a new spin on Breaking Bad as well. All in all, it is a series worth waiting for.
