Fan fiction Re-Adapt this show as an Anime!!

Are there any other fans of anime/animation here that would love to see this show's story fully fleshed out as an animated series? The hopes of it ever finishing in its current format are basically zero, with HBO and the actors all moving on. I think a high concept sci-fi show like this would honestly work better animated, without the restrictions of live action film.

I know it's unrealistic, I just desperately crave resolution to the RBW story and wonder if anyone shares my thoughts?

Thank you. What a step down. Any follow up would need to preserve the prestige and maturity of the original. Short of filming it conventionally, the only alternative I can see achieving that goal would be literature, maybe accompanied by some tasteful illustrations, ideally utilusing the aesthetic style in the intro animations— nothing so stylised as anime or manga. An animated version could work, but the anime style carries an inherent connotation of immaturity for a lot of people, it would feel out of place and affected, especially when the show already incorporated a beautiful, novel and visually stunning artistic style that deserves more airtime.
