Ooo if we're including manga then you surely gotta add Battle Royale and Oldboy for live-action. I am a Hero was decent too.If you count manga to live-action(i.e. skipping the anime step): Edge Of Tomorrow.
That's the only one I can think of, though. As far as anime to live-action goes, I can't think of a single good movie/TV show.
Thems fighting words! Put 'em up, puttem upppp! Or, in your case, spread those wings!It's pretty difficult to make anything good when all of the source material is shit. Bring it on, neckbeards
in all seriousness though, how do you take one of the best character driven animes (imo) and feck it up?Thems fighting words! Put 'em up, puttem upppp! Or, in your case, spread those wings!
Woah, I didn't know(or at least forgot) that! Definitely count them in!Ooo if we're including manga then you surely gotta add Battle Royale and Oldboy for live-action. I am a Hero was decent too.
Battle Royale doesn't count. Yes, it was a manga but the manga was based on the novel itself, which the movie is based on, so Battle Royale is in fact a live-action adapation of a book.Ooo if we're including manga then you surely gotta add Battle Royale and Oldboy for live-action.

Edit - Unless we're talking about English remakes only?
I really have no clue, mate. American remakes don't seem to give a toss about what makes a character who they are or why a story gets so many invested in general. You'd have thought that - by now - that just slapping the name of a popular series without putting any care or thought into the actual product would be an obvious no-no, but here we are again!in all seriousness though, how do you take one of the best character driven animes (imo) and feck it up?
Oh was it? My mistake thenBattle Royale doesn't count. Yes, it was a manga but the manga was based on the novel itself, which the movie is based on, so Battle Royale is in fact a live-action adapation of a book.
Yeah, the novel was out a year or two before the manga, it's a fantastic book too. And the movie itself is my favourite movie of all time, so i'm a big fan.Oh was it? My mistake then
You have a point. I know a fair few anime nerdz who like sentai shows (i.e. live action shows like Kamen Rider) and I don't see much difference between this and those.We are on episode 8 of the live action. Watched episode 1 of the original and plan on watching all 26. As usual anime fans are the weirdest crybabies. There is nothing wrong with the live action. It would be impossible to bring every element from a cartoon to live action, but they have done a pretty awesome job.
I'd say no. Other than "Inception" being a live-action remake of Scrooge McDuck, but I guess a Disney comic doesn't count as anime, so all of them have been shit.Has there been any live action anime shows/movies that actually did well?
So you've only ever watched one episode from the anime and are saying the live action has "done a pretty awesome job" of adapting it? How does that work?We are on episode 8 of the live action.

Not really. I always look at these type of remakes as bonus, not something that competes with the original. As my username suggests I am a fan of Douglas Adams. When THHGTG movie came out their were a bunch of people saying it was crap. I viewed it as a bonus. Even though the movie was made after he died, he wrote the screenplay for the movie and it was different than the books or the BBC mini series. It was a bonus and it was supposed to be a little different. So the anime fanbois should be happy they are getting a bonus over twenty years later. I think the visuals and sets are awesome in the live action. The story is not terrible but of course it will be a little different, it should be expected. If you are judging the live action as a stand alone, it is pretty good. Visually more than plot in my opinion, but very entertaining.So you've only ever watched one episode from the anime and are saying the live action has "done a pretty awesome job" of adapting it?

How many seasons of the original series? Or was it a movie or both?I hate all anime but loved Cowboy Bebop. Everyone should stay away from this until they've watched the original.
26 episodes, 20 minutes each from the 90s.How many seasons of the original series? Or was it a movie or both?
YupThe concensus seems to be don't bother and watched the anime instead, then?
