Most Wanted Live Action Manga Movie Ranking

Ouran live action, yes please. （・∀・）

yeah, although i never really got into host club, i'd probably watch that in live action

Lol Jojos. Which arc would they pick, though? I think that would be a big factor in how totally insane it would be (it'd probably be totally insane regardless.. i mean, it's jojo after all.)

An Ouran live action has the potential to be rather cute. I could see it done like many other tv drama adaptions of shoujo series. :>

I also thought that FMA can be made into an Live Action movie sooner or later by some Hollywood Studio, because it might work. I also has a good story and doesn't follow too many manga cliches. Slam Dunk can also work. Monster can be made into a German TV Series....or better not^^.

Monster, Slam Dunk and Gintama movies would actually have potential to be good, but... Oh god, One Piece.

One Pice would be a BEAST movie to adapt into live action(if you could do it right). Rapid fire Gomu Gomu no Rifles..xD

but yea theres no way to make a One Piece into Live Action without making luffy look absolutely ridiculous.

CgI for his attacks would look TERRIBLE
And theres no one who could play luffy...nobody.

Do they realize how hard it would be to make most of these? One Piece and Jojo, oh my God.

Be it Hollywood or Japanese producers, few would want to stray out of the mainstream path and forget the classics. Weather they will be able to live up to those expectations is only a matter of speculation.

Good to see Slam Dunk is still getting so much love after the years... I personally stopped caring for Live Action after seeing the one for GTO... T.T

Live Action janai, Katsura da.

Slam Dunk and Bokura ga Ita would work. I'm not a huge fan of seeing flicks that requires lots of CG animation and then making a hash of things into looking like a cheap budget production when it isn't.

Also, I'm not sure how Gintama would work. Awesome show in anime, but do they want to capture all the reference/hilarious parts or do they want to do a serious arc like the Shinsengumi rebellion arc? Plus, it'd never work without Sugita Tomokazu's awesome voice acting (and his known adlibbing)

One Piece? my favorite manga!? No! I refuse to let it get holly-raeped like DBZ and Speed racer! If they even think about it heads Will roll!!

I have never understood why people would want to see live action version of anime series.

Monster definitely needs a live action film. There would be little not no special effects, thus making it rather cheap, but the plot would be amazing. +1 from me.

Lol, Slamdunk. Reminds me of that Hong Kong movie where the main hero was a big fan of Hanamichi. He even coloured his hair red in a couple of scenes; when he beat down all the bad guys in the end and that part where he's daydreaming as Hanamichi..

o gawd its Boa Hancock

Gundam Live Action, U.C nothing of gay seed or OO

Monster would be badass, even Hollywood couldn't fuck that up. Why do they keep going for retarded shit like Dragonball, realistic anime/manga would be exceedingly simple to adapt to the big screen.

Wow Kimi ni Todoke...

Why The Hell not?

Slam Dunk?!! WTF! Thats a lot of tall japs.

I'm surprised not seeing Evangelion or Haruhi in there.
Or maybe they're satisfied enough with porn ones ?

FMA FTW!!!
doooo eeett!!
i dont think it´d be too hard to do that..i mean the hardest part i see to it is the well..homunculi...other than that i find it very plausible

EVANGELION!
hands down i hear the rumours but will it happen for real?
PLZ!

One Piece !!!
We all love to see Boa Hancock in action !!!

Monster should be a mini series.

Oh yeah Bokura ga Ita. Nothing like more school romance dramas. :)

don't know if want live action fullmetal alchemist. if hollywood did it and didn't take it seriously then we would end up with either bad acting or bad special effects but if they actually put effort into it who knows. not sure what japan would do with it. i don't really see a lot of movies from them with high budget special effects. the live action death notes come to mind but thats about it.

Monster could really work as a live-action (series) but you would have to produce it in Germany :D

Kimi ni Todoke would probably work well.

When I saw Jojo on that list, I started to think about the rapid punching effect they did in Matrix (the first one). If they could somehow come up with actors that have decent builds... well it'd probably still turn out bad. I mean, what are the chances of finding enough muscle-men with decent acting prowess?

Pirates > ninjas hehe

Hancock-dono!!!

I feel the pic Artefact bring up relevant with the words "Most wanted" but somehow not relevant with the "list"

One Piece?!
Gomu gomu no Faire!

JoJo plz

Isn't Monster getting one already?

Slam Dunk and Ouran are probably the only other ones that could possibly work. A Jojo one would just cause Araki to finally start aging due to RAGE.

live action boa ftw

I'm suprised Naruto didn't make the list.

"foolows"

Tut tut tut Artefact. And here's me thinking you used a word processor. Love ya ^_^

I want to see a Naruto live action, it'd either be really fail or amazingly win.

I'd watch a real-life Slam Dunk!

Bokura ga Ita and Kimi no Todoke would be a great live action.

Jojo's...adventures? That's gotta take shit loads of CG.

I'd pick Bokura.

WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

I fukken lol'd..

One Piece would be such a live action-disaster it's not even funny.

Ouran and slam dunk seem very possible.

Another bump for Monster!

Technically, Hong Kong has had made a live action film intending to resemble Slam Dunk:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0848538/

Gong fu guan lan
Kung Fu Dunk (International: English title)
Slam Dunk (International: English title) (working title)

I'd like to see a live-action adaptation of Strike Witches, just to see how it would go.

As for Bokura ga Ita, even I wouldnt mind seeing that though I wont like the characters as much as in the anime. Oh and hello for the awesome opening scene. BAM!

How the hell did Yotsuba& not make the list?

K-ON!?

one peice would be so hard too do...

Some things are better felt 2d then making it real, and anime/manga is no exception to this rule.

No Berserk?

Hell yeah Monster !

These type of stories never go wrong in live action !

As long as Hollywood doesn't replace them with Leather Jackets and add stupid lines like "Grandpa... Teach me to be normal... Teach me to get girls..." I guess that'll be fine...

"Doubtless some will be aghast imagining what Hollywood might come out with based on something like One Piece…"

sounds like a much more colorful and gayer version of Pirates of the Caribbean to me. :D

monster would be good. insnt it already performed by real people though? the movie would have to compress everything into 90 minutes. so maybe its not so good after all

one piece? eventhough i'm a big fan of one piece, it will be kinda disturbing 2 see a real human stretching their body parts + the 'gomu gomu no fuusen'

They are my noble masters... uncensored please
Maria Holic... a good trap and yuri scenes
Maria ga miteru... young girls and yuri please
Aki-Sora... wincest always win

I'd say Slam dunk is the best choice among that list.
not hard to make right and the plot helps for an easy adaptation.

Slam Dunk?! You mean that show about the asshole who knows nothing of the sport and still doesnt at the end of the series?

I'm suprised that Slam Dunk is still so popular as seen in this poll. I do welcome the idea though, since that was one of my first animes.

Good times, good times...

i love slam dunk and i wouldnt mind seeing a US version of it, gotta find the right cast for dennis ro....oh wait...

the reason why some people wouldnt want to see movie versions of anime/manga/comics because they have too much personal feelings for them and have too much expectations. somehow for the movie version, it has to have more awesomeness than the originals.

on the other hand, i loved spiderman, x-men, ironman, transformers, watchmen...etc, hollywood has more potential than anywhere else in the world combined to make good quality movies.

i was surprised cowboy bebop wasnt on the list, who wouldnt want to see neo as spike and morpheus as jet (for the lulz)

In my opinion, only Slam Dunk, Bokura ga Ita, Kimi ni Todoke, Monster, and Ouran would make plausible movie adaptations, and Fullmetal Alchemist being very borderline. Hollywood would only be interested in Slam Dunk and Monster, or maybe Fullmetal though. Even if they did make into movie, it is probably gonna be crappy anyways. DBZ was terrible. Deathnote wasn't that good either(compare to anime). Maybe they can pull off with Slam Dunk or Monster, I don't know...

If it's a japanese film then it'll probably be ok but if it was hollywood producing then..

1. Slam Dunk - yes
2. One Piece - no
3. Kimi ni Todoke - no
4. Bokura ga Ita - no
5. Monster - yes
6. Gintama - no, but i'd like to see it
7. Ouran High School Host Club - no
8. Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai - no
9. Hagane no Renkinjutsushi Fullmetal Alchemist - it could work, sorta like harry potter if they make it
10. Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure - no

i just dont see shoujo type stories as hollywood films. and the shonen jump titles that have super natural abilities might have worked if it was the 90's when the teenage mutant ninja turtles movie was popular, but i dont think it'll work now.

BTW, what's the pic above from?

Fullmetal Alchemist !
defetnetly !

Slam Dunk ftw! :0

JOJO'S!!!!

I wanna here WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYY~~~!!!! In live action.

i wanna see gintama and all its supreme insanity! :D

Slam Dunk and Monster are the best
candidates for a awesome quality
Live Action version...

But Monster would be really
costly, since all the action happens
on Germany and Checoslovaquia...
And downgrading it to take place on japan
would kill it to level of fails never
seen before by any man alive.

Soul Eater. Helmed by Tim Burton.

I can't see One Piece as live action. What about Berserk? That could work.

Monster is the only one that would be a real success.

It looks like the Japanese wanted live action comedy more than anything else. I for one wanted live action Ghost in the Shell and Macross. But I am in minority.

I'd like to see a live action Ghost in the Shell. But its would only be awesome with a decent budget and quality effevts and characters.

Monster should be the one

Imagine something like Elfen Lied being made into a live action movie,I have mixed feelings about THAT particular adaptation.

A Lord-of-the-Rings style Berserk LA adaptation (only darker and more gory, but nonetheless story-driven) may actually work. I'm surprised it did not make it to the list. It'd be awesome to see Gatts battle those monsters on the big screen.

Monster would make a smooth transition to live action. One Piece... looks impossible to change in to a live action. One Piece fans would not like the outcome. I want to see a good Full Metal Alchemist live action... but that's another difficult one. If Hollywood is making it there's a bigger chance they screw up.

Slam Dunk? Are u serious? It's just a manga abt basketball, which would turn into just a movie abt basketball -_-

"Monster" was the best idea among those!!!

Who's the chick in the pic?
