How the hell did Crows Zero not make it? It's was a very awesome movie
thats what i expected to be high on the list as well. That movie was great.
Crows ZERO FTW!

List is full of fail, thats why. Gantz is listed, what a joke.
What about "1 Litre of Tears"
oops sorry, that was just an amazing true story not a anime adaption or manga. It's so heavy and true and it should top any list of the non anime related type.
Crows Zero AND Shinigami no Ballad must be in this list... but how someone can forget the EPIC VERSION of NODAME CANTABILE!!!
I am second for Nodame Cantabile!
Why isn't Crows Zero there?
Come on...
Whoo yeah! Hana Yori Dango FTW!
At least NANA made it into the top ten, even if Nodame Cantabile did not. Now I'm waiting to see Kimi ni Todoke and Marimite live versions.
i also adored nodame, the main actress did such a wonderful job of portraying her character.
NANA got good music I suppose, however the acting is absolutely horrible by any standards.
Its a good MV and concerts but a poor adaption movie.
The acting in jdrama's are usually pretty bad across the board. I think that's why alot of japanese also prefer to watch kdramas instead.
Nodame Cantabile was solid though. I liked the GTO drama from way back as well.
Agreed with the Anonymous @ 16:22
Though I really have to agree with the #1 on the list. Hana Yori Dango is a really good J-drama.
GTO drama was awesome and better than anime (based on first four eps of anime, in any case). There was an OVA and a movie released and one of them was terrible, but I can't remember which one.
I'm surprised NANA is only 10th. I can't say the movie was spectacular, but I would have thought its popularity would raise it higher.
Honey & Clover is one movie I would have liked to see in the top 10.
I just loved Death Note 8D
probably one of my favorites
No Scott Pilgrim?
Do want me to slap you?
I ;iked the live action adaptations GTO and Yankee-kun and Megane-chan too. Not so good as the original source but its still enjoyable.
They were tv series, not movies.
Hana Kimi never had a movie though. It's still on the list.
Props for Kindaichi managing to get up to top 2nd of the bunch.
Hana Yori Dango? That series sure is popular here in the Philippines, but I am happier that NANA made it to the list.

What? No Jigoku Shoujo? Or MOMO the Girl God of Death?
I liked those.. triti
where the fuck is my nodame and onizuka what is this i don't even
where is Nodame Cantabile?
This is for MOVIES. The Nodame series rocked. The 2 part TV special was good. The 2 Nodame movies sucked hard. The story was played out by then and they were cashing in and didn't even give us a good ending. Same with the GTO movie, which didn't even have Fuyutsuki in it.
I cant believe theres no Honey and Clover
ALL live action honey n clover adaptation are shit. only the anime made it out alive
+1 for Nodame.
Question, in the first image what anime is that girl from?
Hana Yori Dango was amazing! Matsumoto Jun! <3
Nodame should be in top 5.
ITT the live action is way better than anime. They play the orchestras live! :D
Live action Stresemann is awesome. XD
wait, where's battle royale?
Battle Royale was originally a novel, not an anime or manga.
I love to see how japanese fans (The original fans of any anime and mangas) liked the Death Note movies. I can't really understand why half of us, the "western people", hated them in the first place.
I know most people will start pointing out that Tatsuya Fujiwara (Yagami Light's actor) didn't do the part. I would say: Are you blind? Yeah, I don't deny that maybe, in our perspective, he doesn't look a lot like Light, but does that matter? For me, he was indeed able to catch Light's creppy, manipulative and badass personality perfectly, and even was able to put a little of himself there.
I'm not saying the movies are superior to the anime and manga, but I still like them a lot, because they offer you another version of Death Note.
Where the fuck is MARIMITEEEEEEEEEEEEE
List is missing Negative Happy Chainsaw Edge, which I thought was a pretty good movie and a decent adaptation of the manga.
so uhhh wheres nodame?
japan confirmed for shit taste
i have to watch Nana :D
love the anime series :)
i bet gantz is there just because people can't think of any other choices... XD
Japanese live action sucks and why don't the people in the picture look like the characters they're suppose to be?
What...? No Yamato?
I have seen the previews to that, it looks so bad, I have to see it.
Point out how bad the acting is or how campy movies like Death Note really are compared to the original manga and/or anime and it will be thumbs downed blindly.
Sad but true.
Why do I get the feeling the majority of voters were female? Where's all the manly adaptions likes Crows Zero?
Hana Yori Dango "Japanese Version"
What other version is out there?
Don`t tell me I missed there`s a Hollywood rape version of it.
There's taiwanese and korean version from googling.
where is battle royale?
