I rather thought the point of this thread concerned live-action adaptations made in Japan. I don't see Hollywood remaking any anime series, with the possible exception of Del Toro's proposed Monster adaptation for HBO. But full-length movies? Not a chance unless you are talking about something that might tie into toy sales like Transformers. Evangelion? Clannad? Not bloody likely. The first would cost so much to produce that it would never recover its costs. The second might not be that expensive to produce, but where would its audience come from? My guess is that both, particularly Evangelion, would end up on this list.

We mention Hollywood because there isn't much faith in Japanese actors and film makers. The Space Battleship Yamato live action movie was alright, but they tried to do way too much with it and ditched too much to get their.

Clannad is a universal story. I don't understand why it wouldn't be successful as a Hollywood film.
In fact there was a movie "Love Story" in 1970 that was a huge hit and dealt with very similar themes. It's the source of the quote: "Love means never having to say you're sorry." Of course, being a melodrama means there will be haters, but there are plenty of movies that made tons of money despite not being universally popular. Twilight for example.

Aside from that though, why would be the problem with a Hollywood adaptation as long as it was handled by someone who cared about the original work? Hollywood is certainly capable of producing far better output than anime. Quote:

Korea wouldn't mind the topic or the characterizations, but their studios seem to be content tackling shoujo manga instead.

I'm doubt anyone else speaking in Japanese or any other language could... Didn't they already do a live action version of Another? Haven't seen it though. |

I had an interesting thought just now: Banner of the Stars live-action.
So basically J.J. Abrams does his best to produce lens flare in planar space and creates the worst space opera film ever. The mere thought makes me shudder, as I suspect anyone would at the thought of a favorite series being thrown into darkness.

Oddly enough, all the people debating and discussing about how shitty adaptations are, have avoided bringing it up completely. So baffling when it's like the prime example of a good adaptation. Sheesh.

GitS would arguably require actors of quite some caliber to do justice to its characters - obviously they aren't going to come cheap or easily. GitS could work but in my opinion it would need very good actors to pull it off.

I hate myself for this, but I would happily watch a live-action Hataraku Maou-sama in the typically bad Japanese soap opera style, and more so if they did it intentionally bad. Somehow I think that a hideously over-dramatized version of that anime would be hilarious.

Anime series that have gotten live action adaptations?
Over there course of years, there are quite a few series. I know about a few, but probably far from all.
Here's what I can come up with on the top of my head: Ashita no Joe City Hunter Cute Honey Death Note Detective Conan Dragonball Z (really bad US version) Gokusen GTO Golgo 13 Hana Yori Dango Itazura na Kiss (Mischievous Kiss) Kimi no Todoke Maison Ikkoku Nana Rurouni Kenshin Sailor Moon Saikano The Prince of Tennis ... and actually many more, this site has a long list! : http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.ph...tionAdaptation |

And they usually get the anime fan's ire. Some things just work better fictitiously you know? They can either try too hard before you realize you're watching something fake or the SFX looks so cheap the live-action adaptation feels like nothing more than a cheap attempt to get one more good reaction from the audience. At least they should do a better job of convincing me I'm watching entertainment instead of watching a product, am I right?

Kindaichi no Shounen Jikenbo, which probably has no fanbase among English-speaking anime fans, was campy at best Ouran High School Club was disappointing.
By the way I wish I can see the live action adaptation of K-On! besides TMA porn parody. I know it will get ugly(production-wise) but at least it doesn't sound too bad on paper. |
