I still don't catch that, but whatever. Drugs are drugs, as far as I'm concerned.

I always thought about re-writing the Animorphs series, book-by-book, but having the characters in the 16-18 age range, and much more adult-themed. Like not actually showing sex scenes or anything, but possibly implying, and include various drug-themed sub-plots and all sorts of darker-related things.

Remember too, if the Animorphs were 18 then they could have:
Not had to go to school, but have to hold jobs
Could legally buy firearms :D

If you're looking for a bit more adult themed Animorphs story you could always try reading my fanfic "Ax the Prostitute" in the fanfiction section...

Not had to go to school, but have to hold jobs

Well, depending on when their birthdays are, all or some, could still be in school until they're 19, and then there's also always college. But yes, one idea I would have loved to see them work with, was a couple of them trying to hold down a job while also being an Animorph.

Same here ^^'

I also thought about more sex (Cassie+Jake, Tobias+Rachel, Marco+..., Ax+?? lol) or more adult feelings and problems. And I agree for the movies, maybe they should say they're 16 at the beginning (with true 16-years-old actors).
In fact, I put more adult things in my fanfiction too. A part is sex (close to rape, in fact) and the main character also think about gay things lol. But it's still in French, sorry... (My main character is older than the Animorphs and has a job).

The last two books seemed to me to have a slightly more adult tone. It was pretty clear KA assumed her audience had grown a bit since the earlier books. The villains were less cartoony-evil and more sadistic (Tom's Yeerk jeering about morphing Tom and beating Cassie, Visser One's killing spree), the violence was ramped up a few notches, the cursing was slightly more explicit (Tobias's "son-of-a-" comment), and the last book danced around the issue of sex a little.

It was a little jarring to see the Animorphs world take a step in that direction, not because the content was shocking, but because I could tell KA was taking the story past a few of the young audience filters that had been in place throughout the series. As much as I love the ending, I'd be really interested in KA continuing the story after shifting to an older audience.

I agree.
In fact, I'd like she go into more adult things quicker... for example she could follow the age of characters/readers.

I think if a series starts out being geared towards a certain age range, then it should stay that way throughout the series. Even though over the years the first fans will have grown. How many years in real life did the series span, again. ~60 months would be ~5 years, give or take.

I agree that making Animorphs into a more adult theme would be interesting.

But I personally wouldn't like it if the series exploited some mature stuff only for the fun of adult readers.

GREAT idea! I would definetly read it.

If KA did it and produced all the books again, then I would buy every single one. Again.

I love Animorphs, but it does seem to get a little (for lack of a better word) ridiculous when someone says something like "Visser 3 is a big jerk!".
