Believe it or not, but I think Toei would be a right studio. When they DO give a damn, they pretty much can outdo any other studio out there. Ufotable, of course, could potentially do it, but I always felt their artstyle waas a little bit too... clean. I'm not sure how to describe it, since my English skill suddenly took a nosedive at the time of writing this sentence, sorry
My third choice would be David Production. They wouldn't be able to replicate the artstyle, but they usually get the direction right, which is even more important.
Granted, we are still talking about an unfinished manga, based on the very much finished classic novel (even though manga has a number of huge deviations from the book). And said novel has been adapted a countless number of times as a live action movies/TV dramas. One of the movies, starring Toshiro Mifune, even won an Oscar.
