Does such a thing as a good live-action adaption of Anime/Manga exist?
>>154984289
I found the Kenshin movie unoffensive at least so that something.
>>154984289
Edge of Tomorrow.
>>154984289
Edge of tomorrow, ichi the killer and I heard good things about the casshern movie
>>154984533
how close was Edge of Tomorrow to the OC?
>>154984667
Take all you need is kill and give it that TOM CRUISE HOLLYWOOD ENDING, which is a good thing. So, it's better.
Ichi the Killer was the only live action adaption I saw that I actually liked
>>154984755
I'll check it out then, I was just worried that they were going to shoehorn in a happy ending where "everything is okay"
Crying Freeman
Old Boy I guess.
I'm still gonna give Death Note a shot. Maybe it will be somewhat decent, altho I won't get my hopes up.
>>154984894
>happy ending where "everything is okayWell, yeah, that's what it happens.
I liked the cromartie movie
>>154984289
Kenshin
Anno's Cutie Honey
Crows Zero
Ichi the Killer
Those are pretty decent
>>154984659
ehh, the casshern movie was pretty bad in my opinion. wasn't realistic or really followed the storyline properly.
The Usagi Drop movie was ok, the little girl's acting wasn't the best though
>>154984894
>>154984945
Back when the movie came out there where a lot of people who argued that it was better then the original ending
Usagi Drop live action movie was OK
>>154984993
It is. The original is some edgy bullshit
Attack on Titan
>>154985223
hahaha no
I kind of liked the live action Kaiji.
A lot of the reviews for Ghost in the Shell are saying it's good.
Pic related is the best live action adaptation ever made
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvwhIStnDw8 I cry everytime
>>154984894
It's definitely better than edginess for the sake of edginess.
>>154984916
I just read, that the film was never released in the US, despite being descent. Here's a trailer:

Not quiet adaption, but Pacific Rim was close enough.
Anime doesn't translate you to live action, it never will. And really, I see little to no reason to adapt anime into live action considering that you gain next to nothing by doing so and loses all the visual appeal that makes it different.
It makes sense to adapt a book into a film. a Manga into a anime. Movies into games or games into movies. But anime to live action or live action to anime? That's retarded.
>>154986122
not just anime, adapting animation into live-action is, 99% of the time, retarded and unnecesary
>>154985659
>edginess for the sake of edginess.
atleast is not happy ending for the sake of happy ending>lol, kill everybody, but it's ok cuz we get a reset where the aliens don\t attack anymore
>>154985392
I was actually really surprised when I saw that one. I enjoyed it and the whole direction did remind me of the original series.
Though it is true that 90% of that movie is CGI animation, so it was barely live action.
>>154986122
Anime to live action translates alot better to film then a number of the examples you listed. Books to film for example on suffer from the inability to show inner thoughts and emotions without looking retarded.
>>154986122
>comic books translate well to film
>but somehow anime can't work
There just hasn't been the right talent. Imagine if Zack Snyder adapted Fate/Zero.
>>154986122
>games into movies
No. I can't remember a single case of this being successful.
>>154986480
>what is Mortal Kombat?
it works when the game is simple af
>>154986480
Does Wreck it Ralph count? It has vidyagame characters in it
>>154986545
Thats not really an adaptation, its just building of the existing universe.
>>154986559
while it's with no doubt a ''videogame movie'', it's not an adaptation
>>154986480
>he didn't like street fighter the movie
>>154985038
did they fug like in the manga :^)
>>154986470
I want you to kill yourself both for posting this and for implying Snyder is any good.
>>154986545
I want Tetris: The Movie
>>154986480
>>154986595
>>154986786
Mortal Kombat was pretty good taking on count there were only like 2 MK games when it came out.
Doom and Lara Croft weren't really that good but they were fun, over-the-top action movies.
Silent Hill was pretty spoopy.
Super Mario Bros is so fucking bananas I believe the only ppl who hate it are hipsters.
>>154986648
Raul Julia and the supporting villains are the only good thing about that one tho
Kill Bill
>>154986545
Actually, it was a bad adaptation.
The game is filled with blood and over the top violence, while the movie had barely any of this.

saw this movie in the theaters. I agree. It's a good movie and adaptation.

This desu. Anime is pure imagination. Live action has a bunch of limitations of setting and cast. But the possibilities with anime are practically infinite.
What will Raito's american name be?

>Super Mario Bros is so fucking bananas I believe the only ppl who hate it are hipsters.
This. When the adaptations are obviously not trying to adapt anything and just using the original's work name, you should just laugh and enjoy.
Rurouni Kenshin movies were very good, especially the first one.
Also, the movie version of ÅŒoku: The Inner Chambers (or Lady Shogun and her Men) is also a faithful and well done adaptation. It's Edo period josei, so it's probably not everyone's cup of tea.
If you like slice of life and classical music, the original Nodame Cantabile live action is just lovely. The later movies (or OVAs or whatever they were) are quite okay, but they suffer from the same issues as the manga and the anime.If we include stage productions, the first run of Naruto Live Stage is superb - although it adapts the source material very heavily and compresses everything before the time-skip into a bit over two hours. You should definitely give it a try!
>>154985970

Rurouni Kenshin. It was a hit of that year.
>>154986122
I agree completely, this is a little off topic since it's /co/-related, but Disney's recent slew of live-action adaptions of their animated classics actively piss me off, I have difficulty reading it as anything other than an effort to delegitimise the very films that people most closely associate with the studio
I'm glad I've seen some reviews questioning why the Beauty and the Beast adaption needs to exist. Cinderella amazes with it's perfect translation into 3DPD, the Lion King amazes due to its use of technology, it took until this one for people to ask "wait, what's the point?" - especially when they're so full of visual effects, like The Jungle Book, they're still basically cartoons anyway.
>>154987064
I thought Omega mimic was supposed to be on the moon or some shit
>>154985392
Came here to post this.

>the Lion King amazes due to its use of technology
fuck, *Jungle Book
>>154984289
Phoenix Wright you fucking shit
>>154985970
didn't Lone Wolf and Cub start out as an old samurai movie series first? I thought that's why the manga took so many movie cues, like actual fades between different scenes.
>>154985038
>MC in Usagi Drop was kind of ugly, MC in the movie is good looking.
>Good looking MCs in other series are ugly in the live action.
Why Japan?
>>154988318
Manga started came out on September 1970, first movie came out on 15 January 1972
>>154987334
>Naruto Live Stage
I refuse to believe this is a thing
>>154984533
It was pretty good, hell I even liked the hollywood ending better than the manga one
>>154986714
they didn't have explicit sex in the Kite live action either.
And now that makes we wonder if there are any porn adaptations of anime...
>>154984289
Not an adaption, but Matrix was pretty good.
>>154988413
Has been since 2015. The original had two runs with slight differences in 2015 and 2016, and now they're making a third one that'll premiere in the summer, with the plot from the beginning of Shippuuden.
>>154988413
I know nothing about it but the photos of the cast still impress me.
>>154986722
he's absolutely right, though.
for animeshit to happen you need a capeshit director.
>>154984289
Speed Racer
Edge of Tomorrow
Crows Zero
Hopefully Blade of The Immortal
>>154988640
They really nailed Tsunade
>>154984289
Impossible. The japanese original creation itself ignores what kind of cast you can use to make a movie.
Same shit will happen if tries to make an marvel movies in Japan.
For example, Attack on Titans has everyone japanese despite only Misaka being real japanese there.
Marvel or DC comics is more holywood friendly to make movies since the original works itself adapts itself into the movie most of time.
But the opposite is quite more possible.
You can put anykind of nationalyty in anime with japanese dub and be near as good as original creation.
>>154988640
>Naruto looks like a faggot
nailed it
I generally think anime stylistically will always look inferior in live-action, but I'd like to think that in the right hands Bebop could still be the one to show it can work in some cases. It's the perfect choice considering its influences are rooted in live-action anyway.
It's a shame that when it was seriously being considered with Keanu, the budget it would require was gargantuan. I hate to go against the meme, but Keanu has become to old for it now. Maybe Joseph Gordon Levitt?
The existence of the GitS movie angers me, and I'm certainly not going to see it (or at least pay for it), but if it was successful enough to get a Bebop movie going, maybe it wouldn't have been in vain after all?
Akagi was really good, same for Tohai. I guess mahjong is not something difficult to adapt
Kenshin was pretty nice too and Shin Godzilla was basically EVA live action
>>154986903
That crossed my mind but it's not really good. Same goes for Black Swan.
>>154988965
>Kill Bill
>not really good
how does it feel to be such a pleb?
>>154988877

Ping Pong
>>154989026

you speak like there only exists capeshit, as if Manga would only consist of shonen.

More like "Is there any good japanese real life serie ?"
The only good live show I saw was the Dragon Quest comedy show.
>>154989946
No, it doesn't, I don't know what you're talking about.
>>154985346
yea, a lot of reviewers are paid well by studios to write those reviews. Also most reviewers aren't weebs
>>154985392
Wow. I remember seeing trailers for this when it came out and wrote it off but that scene was legitimately fantastic. I really need to see the rest now.
It's even better than the manga.
>>154984289
Blue Blazes / Aoi Hoono.
I just love the brand of comedy Mr. Fukuda & Co., make. Those Hero Yoshihiko .gifs or webm you might have seen around these parts are a testament of that
>>154985038
His good looks are tempting me to pick it up.
>>154984289
Edge of Tomorrow
>>154984289
He looks like emo Peter Parker from the spiderman movies, except way uglier.
>>154993061
He played L when he was younger.
Nips seem to love their fucking musical based on games and animu. Why don't they make a musical film?
>>154992907
I wish more of their stuff was subbed, I can't find a rip of Mr. Nietzsche even if it's been subbed by CR, CR is just straight up useless where I live so I can't even pay for it

The source material has to be good first.
Nobody ever mentions the Mushishi adaptation
>>154988224
>>154989101
Also this
>>154984533
Good movie, if only because it's the first film in forever to show Tom not being awesome Tom from the very begging, but actually an unlikable scrub that had to improve. Also, because all the beating he took.
>>154994091
Fuck forgot my pic
>>154993684
not really, see >>154991965
>>154984533
Good movie, but technically a bad adaptation, since it only takes the premise and a few characters from the original.
Terraformars is great.
>>154985038
Ashida Mana is a miracle of the universe. Protip: She is the running and crying little girl in Pacific Rim.
I hope the live action Gintama is good.
I want to watch the live action Chihayafuru. Taichi can't get a break in 2D, 3D, or his actor's real life. Sad.
>>154994191
It doesn't make me shiverlike a used to
This version wasn't much better.
Watched it again yesterday and it drags on for way too long, has shitty Japanese acting and awful pacing.
>>154985392
And I have to add it holds up to repeated watching. Have to go watch it again this weekend.
I liked the I Am a Hero adaption.
>>154986722
In 20 years time people will be referring to Suckerpunch as a great film of meta storytelling
>>154988947
I'll bite.
Why does it bother you so? No, really.
>>154997392
This. Also Himizu and Tokyo tribe from Sono. He has made other manga adaptations.
>>154985392
This is a legitimately great film. It stands above just being an anime adaptation. It's just good.
Critics were fucking idiots.
>>154985392
It was what it was. I enjoyed it.
Hentai Kamen, of course! Perfect adaptation of perfect manga.
>>154998089
Critics probably never watched Speedracer.
>>154998479
I think half of it was more lingering resentment from The Matrix movies.
>>154984993

>>154986470
Superheroes movies are hilarious shit of adult people with costumes. Anime is a mature medium that dont fit in Hollywood ideas of superheroes.
>>154988742
I wouldn't mind doing that myself.
>>154986480
Hitman was a great movie, fuck you.
>>154988947
Bebop would be glorious to do in live-action.
Some anime and manga are so japanese that American adaptions just going out as shit.
Bebop's themes and style were already heavily American, so having that story adapted by Hollywood would work. Keanu back in the day would've definitely been a perfect choice too.
>>154987016
The real question is what is El Lowlight's name?
>>154994091
I always felt Mushishi didn't fit the running time as a satisfying narrative. It never had one story to tell, so there's no feeling of progression that helps you gauge how far you've come. Not sure how else to explain it, but I kind of wish they'd done it as shorter pieces to reflect the episodic nature I was used to.
>>154988947
I am extremely bothered by the Laughing Man logo being completely missing from the marketing, do they not like hype or money? That thing was a cash cow at 00s cons.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4tCACKYolrs
Any thoughts on the Saiki film? I can only hope the slapstick is as daft to look at as the Nodame TV series, at least with comedy you can't feel guilty for laughing at the CG. It'll probably point out how cheap it is itself.
>>154987378
>>154987137
Turner is so typical. Misa is Mia now.
>>154993375
Oh it's him! I knew he looked fucking familiar.
He was a damn good L, by the way. Literally perfect visually and acting-wise. I think he's the only asian actor that's ever impressed me.
>>154998419
When do we get a Rapeman Forever live-action adaption?
>>155000537
You ever see the Korean musical with Junsu as L? Greenish white haired, L.
As for Asian actors, Gon Yoo is really good. Train to Busan is getting a Hollywood adaption and they put the Korean version on Netflix.
>>155000522
They could've done better than turner, but I'm guessing the point is to have a memorable last name so that the audience immediately makes the connection between him and his dad, the police officer. Mia is a really clever renaming for sure.
It sounds like a lot of people are skeptical about the story getting localized like this but I'm actually hyped as fuck
>>155000840
I'm just glad they are doing something with Misa that seems like it isn't just Light's puppet. That annoyed me to no end watching the series even though it was a necessary evil for the most part.
It's not a deep series and it is what it is but interesting to see it redone in another creator's eyes.
It seems more like Ryuk chose Light to give the Death Note to rather than Light stumbling upon it so there's a cool aspect. No one expects it to be 1:1 or really good. I'm just happy after years of waiting to get something and something new.
>>155000772
>Train to Busan is getting a Hollywood adaption
The movie already feels pretty Hollywood, so I can't say I'm surprised.
>>154984289
Blue Spring was pretty cool, left some stuff out from the manga but it's understandable given the way the stories are presented.
I think Me & the Devil Blues could translate well, assuming they can emulate the music RJ plays.
>>154992907
I wish the manga was translated, Shimamoto is one of my top mangaka.
>>155001354
It really did. I wonder where the Hollywood adaption will take place.
So what's /a/'s thoughts on Live action Alita?
