eh Yamato was pretty freaking good

I don't like Japanese live actions because its scripts are too "Japanese" when played by actors/actresses, unlike the more "sterile" animes' scripts when voiced by seiyuus.

ACtually, if its done well by the Japanese, then it might succeed. Death note and Rurouni Kenshin passes. But live-action usually hollywood steals this opportunity and then = fail. Any game/anime from Japan that America decides to make a live action or CGI movie from, always fails. DOE, Dragonball, Astroboy, Final Fantasy: Spirits within. Need I go on?
But fellas, there's gonna be more upcoming fails that would make you wanna throw a brick and the production companies and tell them to f*ck off.
So far that I know: Bleach, Gunnm (Battle Angel Alita)(directed by James Cameron), Akira

Does porn counts as live action ?
Because I'm sure it would be better that any "normal" life action abomination

Hikaru no Go wouldn't be bad. I'd say Legend of the Galactic Heroes....but then we're talking a 8-10 movie franchise to not screw up.

Monster is the only one I think might be really good. Although that's already in the works.

Why would you want an anime made into live-action? Maybe a slice of life show with no fantasy elements but IMO those shows are trash and defeat the purpose of watching anime.

#14: There WAS a live action Gundam movie. It's called G-Saviour, a 2000 Canadian made for TV movie shot with the budget of an average 30 minute episode of a TV series at the time. Most people liked to forget it existed until the G-Saviour got cut down by a Hyaku Shiki in a cameo in Gundam Build Fighters last year.
