Has there ever been a successful live action adaption of an anime?

Depends what you define as "successful"

Pic related wasn't better than the anime/manga but it's wasn't terrible and was pretty good overall.

If it's made in Japan it's decent enough. But if it's a live action anime made in the west it's very bad.

Shin Godzilla was kind of close to it, yeah, but Eva is also just 20 minutes long and does much better within that timespan than Godzilla does. It drags quite a lot.
Eva also has memorable characters, something Godzilla does not have. Does not mean it needs them necessarily, but to be Eva... that kind of would have to be the case.

black lagoon would translate well to an american box office. you can cast people of any race for it, you don't even really need to make the people look much like the cast. The reality is, black lagoon was a mangaka's attempt to make a hollywood summer blockbuster. Everything about it translates into an american action flick.

Who the fuck would they cast for Revy?

They done more than that. Take a look it's not so bad you'll see.

Aaron Paul - as Rock

it could work.

Pacific Rim is a discount live action Evangelion.

Besides 1.11 is pretty much a perfect Evangelion movie despite only covering to angel 6. It was well directed and had an actual ending and a small post credits teaser. No bait like the other 2.

Death Note was decent. The ending was actually better (well most people think so).

I feel like Japan would have a higher percentage of good adaptions if the movies had bigger budgets.

>>160775196
what does dutch do in that show anyway?

people like the rock and go to movies with him in it. it's not about casting people who can act. if hollywood did that then the only person they'd cast would be people like ed norton, robert downey jr, or kathy bates. frankly hollywood gives zero fucks about acting ability, they just want actors people will pay to see. people pay to see the rock and bruce campbell, besides they sort of fit those characters (loosely)

That's probably what made the movie good. If you already know the original, you will compare it to that and be disappointed.
Exceptions are book adaptions, because a book is just text, but in a manga/anime you already have all the visuals etc

there will never be a good live action adaptation unless japs overcome their shame and make japanese looking people in their manga.

>>160743064
Rurouni Kenshin was alright.

>>160743410

Can't believe there's a whole thread with no mention of Kenshin.

Japan is only capable of making two types of movies, real life dramas and samurai period movies.

So anime that are about basically normal things, like romantic comedies and school dramas are usually okay.

Kenshin was fairly high budget and really it's just a samurai movie. They made THREE.
