So, I'll admit I watch this show for fun, but it has given me a good idea for a post....

What anime would you like to see made into a live action series (either in Japan, the US, or elsewhere)?

Please note, this is not asking what anime would NOT make a good live action series.

I love Sailor Moon Live Action since I am a big Sailor Moon fan.

I would love to see Kare Kano, Love Hina or Boys Over Flowers in Live Action. Ultra Maniac would also be a good choice.

Tboz · 2003-11-04, 07:09

heh... for a moment I thought there's gonna be a new Saber Marionette live action drama after looking at the thread title...

None. Making live-action versions of animations merely illustrates the inferiority of live-action as a format. Any animation worth its salt will make great use of the advantages that its format gives it, which will then be impossible to transfer to live-action, rendering such a remake inferior.

i will admit PGSM is not as great as the anime (which is my personnal fav) But as a series its really cool, and funky, well done, and a credit to live action remakes.

Almost as good as Gunhead.

and i think NGE would make a good Live action, as well as blue gender

Laurie-chan · 2003-11-04, 13:10

If people don't like Sailor Moon Live, then how could they like other Live action series?

Koshiba · 2003-11-04, 14:27

I thought the LiveAction for Sailor Moon was rather cute.. It did look kind of funny though since it's a magical girl show. ^_^;

I think that any romance/drama series would make a good live action. I'm such a fan of Dorama's~

I also just heard that Aim for the ace! is going to be made into a liveaction drama. I can't wait. ^^

duenna · 2003-11-06, 00:57

i'd really like to see a Saiyuki LA show

that would be cool to see!! ^^ or maybe even Prince of Tennis or Hikaru no Go

oh!! or maybe even Naruto or One Piece XD heh i could go on and on.. btw, i do like SMLA! it is very interesting to watch! even my mom watches it ^^

FinFangFoom · 2003-11-06, 04:15

I would love to see a 3 movie deal for Last Exile with a really high budget. It could be done by an American studio since it would really have to have american or english actors to look right anyways.

GTO!

... Oh wait, it already exists, and it's already the BEST live action to ever come out of the land of the rising sun!

FinFangFoom · 2003-11-06, 15:11

Im sure most of you all know that they're making a dragonball z live action. I myself am still really skeptical that they won't find a way to really screw it up, but have some hope now. I was reading on the official website and it has unconfirmed rumors that it is going to be rated PG-13 and be over 3 hours long. The best part is that their not going to try and jam the whole story into 1 movie either, it says that they are hoping for it to be 4 movies long. It would cover the saiyan, frieza, cell/android, and buu saga. Industrial Light and Magic (star wars, jurassic park) would do the special effects.

I know this is kind of old news but since the old forum is wiped out if figured I would repost it. Also I read on comics to films that wwf's Goldburg is signed to play Napa, I think he might be perfect for the roll, even if I hate wreastling I have to admit that he does look just like him and you would never find an asian person who could pull off playing Napa.

What do you guys think?

Digital-Kitty · 2003-11-06, 15:33

There is already a DragonBall live action movie actually, but I think it may be Hong Kong Cinema.

Personally, there is a sick demented side of me that would like to see a Pokemon live action series.
