A few years ago I read the Robotech series by Jack McKinney. It is based on the anime series of the same name, with the first 12 books in the series recounting the events of the anime series. There are a total of 21 books in the series.

I'd seen a few episodes of the anime series, and it was just okay to me. Then I read it in book form, and found it vastly better. The author added so much detail that was included in the original anime series. I enjoyed it so much that I quickly read the entire series, with several re-reads of some of the books.

With this in mind, what movie/TV series/anime would you like to see redone as a novel? It could be a continuation or a reimagining (like the television update of Battlestar Galactica). For example, it could be a minor series that had potential but it didn't live up to, or didn't have time to develop.

For me, one series I'd like to see done this way is "Beyond Westworld." It was a short-lived 1970s TV series that revealed that the robot breakdown disaster shown in the movie "Westworld" was not an accident but part of a plan to take over the world.
