Can/will it be adapted to animation?

I keep seeing Instagram reels with CGI PunPun so there’s that.

No and it shouldn't be

If Punpun was to be adapted, there are only two possible directors who might be able to do it right. Either Masaaki Yuasa or Akiyuki Shinbou.

It is a very difficult task, no one wants to be the guy who ruined pun pun

it would work better as live action with animated elements (pun pun)

animation wouldn't give you the same disconnect 



it works best as a manga tho

I just can't imagine it being done well. It is just too distinctive in style, and demands so much breathing room to be effectively told.

Am I allowed to like Punpun on /a/ now?

No

>Can

yes

>will it

no

I think the best way to do it would be with either very realistically drawn anime backgrounds and a CGI Punpun or the other way around. Either way Shinbou does a lot of that mixed medium stuff so he might be able to pull it off

Hopefully never ever. Animeonly faggots deserve nothing.

I just want it to stay as it is...

the backgrounds should be stylized photos

Agreed. Some stories should be left in the original medium. Given the odd nature of some of the panels, it works remarkably well as a static image. Any movement animated or not would kill it.



Remember when Junji Ito got animated?

>man who only knows of two anime directors

What, is Punpun hated in this board for some reason?

>hating things

In other news water is wet

It's very challenging to adapt for sure. The art is incredibly detailed and meticulous with highly detailed photorealistic backgrounds. That's a nightmare to adapt into animation. Just makes me think of all the shitty/mediocre Junji Ito adaptations because of course you can't adapt a detailed art style like that into animation without needing quadruple the budget and time, so it ends up inferior.

If Punpun would be adapted, it should never strive to be a straight adaptation. It's more important to keep the feeling and atmosphere, and then try to experiment with the art like some anons have suggested in this thread. Try to do something different with it, cause trying to copy the manga would only end in disaster. I've always thought since Punpun is all about realism, it could honestly work if it used rotoscope animation (but better utilized than Aku no Hana) and photo-edited backgrounds, and then have Punpun be very scribbly and cartoony, to really play with the juxtaposition. I suppose Yuasa could pull it off, but I'm afraid he's past his prime and wouldn't properly do it justice.

>and a CGI Punpun

why cgi'ng punpun?

>can

no

>will

yes

>>251747117 (OP)

lol no

to make him stand out from the animation the way his simple design stands out from the hyper detailed art of the manga and also cgi would allow him to be fluid and morph into triangles and shit more seamlessly.

It would be better as a live action adaptation as much as i hate to say it
