Okay, I watched some of the TV Show episodes from 2007, before I started reading the books.  I realized the books had so much more incredible action, so much more naughty thoughts and humor than that TV show.  The show just couldn't do those things. TV shows nowadays are so much about business and making a profit--right away. Those epic wizard battles with incredible, horrible demons and monsters.  Think of the cost for all that CGI.  And if the show doesn't garner a large viewership right away, producers will cancel it.  The solution?  Anime!  There are plenty of anime shows out there with people with magic powers battling monsters, but few have the sarcastic wit that Jum Butcher gives Harry.  Also, they don't have to pay massive CGI costs in order to portray those great wizard vs monster battles.  I know most anime is only 25 minutes long, and it would be near impossible to cover one of his stories in that little time, but, anime is starting to break that barrier.  I've seen shows that have a storyline that takes 2-4 episodes to cover.  I've been watching a show called "Nach Machina" and its got a couple stories that are 3 episodes long.  It also is near rated R for showing sex and having cuss words.  I think the Dresden Files has a lot better chance in Anime.
