Anime Movies: Live Action Or Not?

which animes/mangas would make great live actions movies?

please vote, and if you have the time, explain why you think so. i'd vote for rurouni kenshin and inu yasha. i don't have the time, so i'll explain later.

I think Cowboy Bebop would make a GREAT live action movie!! But i also voted for Kenshin and InuYasha 😄

i think that rurouni kenshin would make the best and easiest to be made, live action movie. if you get the people and similar set up to "the last samurai" and the sword fighting styles down, it'd be great! when i first heard of and saw pix of that movie, it immediately reminded me of kenshin.

what about teen titans what do u think great live action movie or what

that counts as an anime? don't think it would. just need to improve the look of the suits or the characters voices/matiruty level. star...something...is too ditzy.

Patlabor I and II would make great movies!!

none.

i think dragon ball z and cowboy bebop just cuz cowboy bebop has faye

Akira is being made into a movie but they are having some problems with directors and my cousin is writing a Cowboy bebop script. It would be a trilogy, each movie would be about the 3 main episodes 1. Ballad of Fallen Angels. 2. Jupiter Jazz 3. Real Folk Blues.

capt': do you have any links to news about the akira movie?

Out of the ones on that list, I think only Cowboy Bebop would be good as a liveaction. I think the liveaction DBZ, if it ever actually gets made, will suck. A liveaction Evangelion movie is in the works, and I think that it might actually work out (it better, that's one of my favorite anime). And currently airing in Japan is a liveaction Sailormoon. I've seen the first episode of it, and it's kinda cheesy, but a lot better than expected.

in an anime magazine, i saw an ad for a live action show of sailor moon on ice. the costumes looked poorly done.

Actually, coming from the viewpoint of someone who's attempted a Sailormoon costume, I think they look pretty good. For the liveaction Sailormoon, its more based on the manga as opposed to the anime, which is why they may look strange to some people. And I'm talking about the liveaction TV show - I didn't even know there was a Sailormoon on Ice O_O I know there are the Sailormoon Musicals (Seramyu)...

japanese anime should not,again SHOULD NOT be made into live action movies. It goes against everything Anime is about. These movies are anime to begin with, because they are in an existence all of there own, and the only way to tell their story is in a world of no rule or boundaries. Leave perfection alone.

*oh crap! as soon as i voted on my own poll, the poll stopped letting votes in! darn it!*

Thanks ragesRemorse, couldnt have put it any better myself.

Remorse said it all.

But, all things apart I would love to see Cowboy Bebop made into a movie, also Kenshin, DBZ, and Akira.

If they ever choose to make a movie out of these they should just scrap the old stories adn make something that would follow in the next Anime movie of those in question.

Bebop - has a neat story and full of action and wouldn't be hard to converge into a movie.

Kenshin - heh, OVA series rock the house. Samurais? well it's good anyway u flip it.

Another sick and fantastic story is Berserk. Loads of sick pics and sick action. Now that would be a movie! I hope u all know and had a chance to even take a glimpse at Berserk! If not plz do. Some of the dynamic action in the manga comic is confusing, but u have to adapt your eyes to some details.

Akira - now when I bought the anime I didn't know the story I didn't even know how it was I just bought it. I saw a sneek preview and I was in love. Some of the story doesn't hold too strongly its ground but it's amazig animation and I loved every minute of it. I watched this one 2 times in a row when I got it. I would love to see the movie.

DBZ - Well what to say to this child orientated anime and manga, except that it has great friendship values to show to kids and devotion to a cause. The late anime series after episodes 150 take some new changes in the drawing and so the animation looked more cool and agressive. Heh I thought about a movie made out of this but I never campe up with an interestind scenario that the wide crowd would comprehand and accept as a finished product.

yup yup leave them as anime

Escaflowne?
