"Why not?" 

Twisted plot, tortured souls, unusual heroes, and villians with 
personality.  Pretty much the elements I've associated with 
manga/anime stories.  BTW what org. stories did you read?

death gate novels by Margret wies and tracy hickman, actually way of the
pilgrim by gorden r dickson is very anime

I always thought Death Gate would make a wonderful anime! Come to think of
it, any title by Margaret Weis and/or Tracy Hickman would make a wonderful
anime! Then there's the Elfshadow series by Elaine Cunningham, and Daughter
of the Drow would also work... But this is just my $0.02 worth, I've also
tried drawing Death Gate characters anime/manga-style. Now if I could just
get a scanner... ^-^

   That's what I think too. And don't forget David Eddings.
