Wow, almost everything I wanted to say has already been said. All that's left on my list (nowhere near the top, though) is Dungeon Dive: Aim for the Deepest Level. Feels like this one would be a coin flip. If they can portray the MC's mental state well, it'll be a good adaption, even if they can't make the fights look that great. OTOH, if they botch the portrayal of the MC's mental state, no amount of fancy animation can fix it.

The Unwanted Undead Adventurer is already getting an adaptation, but I think it's worth mentioning because it's a rare case where the anime has the potential to surpass the source. Mainly because the source is absurdly pointlessly wordy. I love this series, but it's the only one where I recommend people read the manga first before giving the LNs a try. If there's an anime, it'll be an even better entry point (as long as it isn't awful).

To comment on the ones others have already mentioned, I think that Dahlia in Bloom and Secrets of the Silent Witch are the easy ones. I feel like those two have stories that lend themselves especially well to animation. Ah, and maybe a Dahlia anime can just show us the food instead of describing it in detail. I suppose they'd still have to keep in some of the alcohol discussion... Although I think it's a bit too much, discussions on alcohol feel so integral to the world of Dahlia that losing them would feel wrong.

Lazy Dungeon Master

Lazy Dungeon Master feels like it could be a fun anime, but it could also easily lose all of the intricacies of how the dungeon systems work. It'd probably be a bit like the So I'm a Spider, So What? anime in that all of the "why" of how things work is lost, and you just have to accept that it does. Any strategy or clever moves will feel like arbitrary plot devices that are made up on the spot instead of built up to.

Hell Mode

Speaking of, right as I started reading Hell Mode, I thought "Man, there's no way anyone could ever adapt this into a manga or anime. This series can only exist as a light novel". Then, having read some of the manga, I feel validated in thinking that. I can only see the manga as extra companion images to the LN with how little of it they managed to adapt, and an anime will be even worse.

To Another World... with Land Mines! (the author has already made it into the anime realm with his other series, so I have good hopes for this one.)

And then there's To Another World... With Land Mines!. On the one hand, I do think this could make for a great anime. On the other hand, my gut's telling me that this will get a really cheap, barely functional anime. The kind of anime that feels like nobody cared when they made it, and that everybody forgets as soon as it's done. I don't know why, but whenever I try to imagine a Land Mines anime, I can vividly see the cheap anime version in my head. It feels almost inevitable that it will both get an anime and that it will be cheap.

This one happened!

@renofury said in The Top Five JNC series you wish would get an anime:

Third - The Sorcerer's Receptionist - This is one of my favorites LN, it just hooked me from the start I loved the interactions of Nanalie and Rockman thou it is about time that Alois confessed.

I would love to see this as an anime, but given the intricacy of the plot, I don't think it could work without at least 26 episodes, and that's a hard sell these days. Trimming this one to 12 or 13 episodes would either leave major unresolved plot hanging at the end (and then never have another season to resolve it) or would lose half the plot in the middle.
