When asked in a survey whether they approved of manga to anime adaptations, some 70% approved. However, half that number, 35%, approved of the fraught process of adapting a manga to a live action movie.
The survey found that against the 68.5% of respondents who approved of manga to anime adaptations, only 35.2% approved of manga to film conversions.
Those who saw anime adaptations from manga, which some 95% reported watching in the case of their favourites, gave such reasons for their approval as “It’s possible to see the work from another angle,” “I wanted to see it animated” and “It increases the number of fans.”
Those unhappy with these adaptations made such complaints as “The voices differed to my image of them” and “A manga worldview is hard to convey through anime.”
People who approved of movie adaptations gave such reasons as “It’s possible to enjoy the casting choices,” and “It can promote a title to a wider audience.”
On the other hand, those who detested such efforts voiced such complaints as “The cast felt out of place,” “They often don’t treat the image of the original work properly” and “There’s a limit to what you can express in film.”
Concerns about the quality of live action movies adapted from anime, manga and games seem to be universal, yet their continued success seems assured…

Live Action wins:
Nodame Cantabile (better than the anime)
Yasuko to Kenji (better than the manga)
Rookies
Holyland
Dr Koto
Team Medical Dragon
Godhand Teru
H2
Fuuma no Kojirou
and of course.....GTO (yes the anime/manga are better but the drama still rocks)
so while movies may not be good at live action manga adaptations, drama series are very good at it.
And I haven't seen the LA Yuria 100 Shiki yet but it looks awesome in a very cheesy way.
How about Gokusen? All I'm sure, I'm not going to put Detective Conan there... I mean, the kids look awkward lip syncing the original seiyuu lines instead of talking in their own voice..
And yes, Sorimachi rocks~!
Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge was also a pretty decent live-action adaptation.
Yep. They're rare, but they definitely happen.
20th Century Boys was a great movie adaptation.
20th Century Boys???
I wouldn't mind if someone make a Kodomo no Jikan movie.
Let's be realistic here, it'll never happen in a million years.
Or if it ever did, the actors would all be in their late teens.
You're right... Just like the Lolita movie. :(
NEE-SAN COME BACK!
3d beats 2d this time.
Can't blame people for not approving live action adaptions they tend to suck most the time. Although I did think the DMC movie was quite good.
20th century boys wasnt bad. then again it wasnt done by hollywood so thats probably the reason.
Can someone post the link of her gallery. I know I seen her gallery here somewhere.
live action= offense to the anime!!!
I agree with all those points.
3D girl is win, but manga ---> movie is (t3h)suck.
^^
That's a good point and most likely words to live by.
Rukia is the anti-3D Pig Disgusting.
If anyone can tell me who's the hawt cute babe on the left pic, I'll be happy enough.
Who is the 3d Rukia?
Considering how some anime to movie adaptations turned out(Dragonball Evolution for example) I'm not surprised by the low approval rate such adaptations have.
Watching your favorite characters come to life with animations is truly a gift i am grateful for.
That 3d Rukia looks niiiiiiice~~~
nice 3d pic :>
I think 35% it´s still high. With the crappy adaptations manga to live actions...
This 3D girl is a lot more sexier and kawaii than 2D version, however...
3D rukia so much better than 2D
Anything is better than 2D Rukia.
azumi was based of a manga and that was a good movie cuz azumi was hawt also max payne based off the game was alrite also death note japanese verison was good but smart people like Square enix do there movies in 3d
"death note japanese verison was good"
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I shall begin the fapping to both 2D and 3D as they are side by side now.
3d pic wins.
Those pictures up there... I'd definately say the lower part of the 2D, and the upper part of the 3D. The 2D face is so Western-"Manga"-distorted it's not even funny.
3d > 2d!!!
nice rukia image. (hot butt)
Gets 3D approval stamp. A rare prize.
First time I've thought of Rukia as a hottie.
First time I've thought of Rukia as a woman. D:
Me 2!!!!
A rare case of 3D win.
Stamped Approval on your approval stamp ;3
Everything can have it's downsides. You should probably stick with your chosen form of enjoyment for any series. I rarely read manga so it's hard for me to have problems where the voices don't match up.
Trick is to read the manga the anime was based on -after- watching the anime. The manga is usually better, so there's less chance of being disappointed.
lolol
Anyone see the leaked death note script?
You mean, the *fake* death note script.
What but I was reading it all day
it's a 120 pages long no way someone would go through all that effort
You'd be surprised how caught up fan-fiction writers can become.
It's really looks like a professional script I'd be very impressed in was just fan fiction
the guy on ANN says it's real
ANN is never wrong after all.
Well they were wrong for banning me anyway
Yeap 8D
