Most Wanted Live Action Manga Movie Ranking

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...

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...

Slam Dunk ftw! :0

JOJO'S!!!!

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

Fullmetal Alchemist !
defetnetly !

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?

"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

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...

No Berserk?

Hell yeah Monster !

These type of stories never go wrong in live action !

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'

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

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

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.

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

Still waiting for James Cameron to get on "Battle Angel Alita" aka "Gunnm" he has had that in post production for about 15 years now. Main reason for "Avatar" was for him to test the system for "Battle Angel"

P.S if you want the Making of Avatar you'll See James wearing his Battle Angel Alita T-shirt :p

Who's the chick in the pic?

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!!!

Monster should be the one

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.

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.

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.

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

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

one peice would be so hard too do...

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

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