| Alita: Battle Angel Also, I consider OG's 2018 TI run to be anime. |

Well seeing as how the anime came out after the ZEIRAM movies that is IRIA I guess you could say the anime was based on a Tokusatsu , but it's also an anime, so it's kind of a perpetuating circle.  There's always the so/so (I love it and loathe it at the same time) movie of Ghost In the Shell Then there's the BATTLE ANGEL ALITA movie already mentioned, there's also the extremely laughable live action Hokuto No Ken |
| Dragonball Evolutions is the only one I remember watching. Thankfully, I didn't know anything about Dragonball, and I forgot everything about that movie, so no harm done. |
| I've seen live action adaptations of these anime: Nana Jigoku Shoujo Gokusen Koi wa Ameagari no You ni (After the Rain) Chihayafuru Kimi ni Todoke Given Sailor Moon Kimi no Suizo wo Tabetai (I Want to Eat Your Pancreas) Kono Sekai no Katasumi ni (In This Corner of the World) Sakamichi no Apollon (Kids on the Slope) Isshukan Friends (One Week Friends) Rurouni Kenshin Kingdom Imawa no Kuni no Alice (Alice in Borderland) Orange Sukitte Ii nayo (Say "I Love You") Bokura ga Ita (We Were There) Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (Your Lie in April) Boku Dake ga Inai Machi (Erased) I may be missing a few, but this is most of them. I've also seen a couple dozen others based on manga that have no anime adaptation. |

| Battle Angel Alita, hated every second of it. Ghost in the Shell, last movie I watch on a theatre, I think we were three people there, me and a couple, didn't like it at all. 2016's Fullmetal Alchemist, didn't like it at all. 2018's Bleach, didn't like it but didn't hate it either. From the same year, Wolf Brigade, a live action adaptation of Jin-ro, I found it very boring. I think it was from the same year, Animal World, korean adaptation of Kaiji, didn't really enjoy it and had some dumb changes, but others were interesting. A Detective Conan tv special from mid 2000s I think, didn't like it. Solanin, enjoyed it a bit, very faithful to the manga but lacking in atmosphere. The Rurouni Kenshin pentalogy, pretty good as a whole, with the fifth movie being the best because it adapts the best part of the franchise. Three Dragon Ball movies, didn't like any of them at all. There were two fanmade shorts called Dragon Ball Z Light of Hope which were pretty decent and I enjoyed them a bit. Those are all I remember at the moment, if the question isn't about this then I don't know. |
EiyuuuOu said: Have you ever watched live action anime? and what anime is it? Just like the above users, I have watched plenty. Sadly most of them end up being either cheesy or more cartoonish than the actual Anime. One of the best I have seen was produced in 2001 called "Ichi the Killer" it was actually better than the actual Anime or manga. Ironically it was produced before the Anime Adaptation.  It's sick and sadistic portrayal of a psychotic sado-masochistic yakuza thug on the hunt for a mysterious killer who keeps brutally murdering members of his gang. Highly recommended viewing material! |

| I watched Gintama, Death Note, Rurouni Kenshin, Bleach, Dragon Ball, and a few others that I can't remember. Although I disliked the majority of them, all five Rurouni Kenshin movies are very good, perhaps even better than the anime. I must mention three Inju Gakuen movies based on the same named hentai, they were watchable :) |

| "live action anime" How do you define that? Mixed live action and animation like in Who Framed Roger Rabbit and Space Jam? |
The only live action adaptation of anime which is actually good. Pretty much every other one sucks, and even this one relied heavily on CGIs. As for me, I've seen a number of live action and they haven't been good. Same deal with anime first to video games. They usually aren't all that great too unless the gameplay mechanic/company itself already has a good game reskinned into an anime. Like the case of Fist of the North star reskinned over Yakuza games. |
| A lot, most recent one was Police in a Pod. EDIT: Others I feel like I want to name are: Oldboy - most surprising movie I've seen to date. Icchi the Killer - already mentioned above, one of the most mindfuck movies ever seen. 20th Century Boys trilogy Great Teacher Onizuka - both 1999 and 2012, I prefer the later one, season 2 was bad, tho. GTO prequel manga(forgot what it's called) also received a few adaptations, one just a year or so ago. Alice in Borderland - I loved this one a lot, it was true hype from start to finish. Lady Snowblood - A classic piece. Blade of the Immortal I Am a Hero Sometimes in surprise I end up discovering that a Japanese drama or movie I watched randomly was adapted from manga(mostly) or anime, they make them all the time, the same as how Hollywood adapt comics to live action all the time too, if you're truly curious about them check out Mydramalist or any other similar site(s). |

I actually watched that a month or so ago and thought it was a Korean movie. It was pretty decent. World of Tomorrow I haven't watched so I'll trust you on that one. The American live action Ghost in the shell I thought was crap though. |
| I thought the recent Cowboy Bebop live action got a bit unfairly criticized. It's nowhere near as bad as some would have you think, I'd give it a 7 maybe an 8. That being said it's not at all as good as the anime, but that's okay, it's a decent companion piece for fans who are curious and willing to give it a fair shot. The only real complaint I'll agree with is Faye... she's terrible, bad casting, even worse writing, Spike and Jet were cast perfectly in my opinion though. |
| I don't think I ever have. I've seen Oldboy, but that has no anime version, only manga. Same for Edge of Tomorrow. And those are the closest I ever got to watching a live-action movie that also has an anime version. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Far as live-action anime adaptations go, I've seen the Japanese live-action take on Saikano and James Cameron's adaptation of Battle Angel Alita. |
| A few that have anime adaptation like Josee, the Tiger and the Fish; Honey and Clover; Chihayafuru; Kids on the Slope; Let me eat your pancreas and so on... Two or three times more such movies that was based upon manga without anime adaptations - it is interesting thing because a lot of times just after I had watched the movie and was reading about its background turned out that it was based on a manga, by the story itself I couldn't tell. |

| I've watched the first AOT live action movie. Compared to the anime, it was terrible, but if you treat it like a completely different thing, there is some fun to be had. |
 |
| Say I love you (even so i haven't watch the anime) Ghost in the Shell (Hated it) |
| I seen Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy BeBop, Kite, Blood the last Vampire, When they Cry, Alita: Battle Angel, and Oldboy and maybe the first Death Note live action movie. I thought they were alright. But I think too many anime fans have extremely too high of an expectation and expect the live action movies to be a 1 on 1 copy with the anime or manga and don't give those movies a fair shot. |
| Watched these: Erased, Kakegurui, Alice in Borderlan, Bleach and Ghost in the Shell. all of them were enjoyable actually, I liked them x) |
| I am a huge fan of J-dramas so I've watched a lot. If you're including mangas then man it would take the whole day and night to list them. I also wish a lot of live action dramas get an anime, none more so than Trick.. Last live action i saw was komi-san and police in a pod. First one was kindaichi case files S1 (1995) main actor later played takasugi in Gintama films |

| Gokusen, which is far better than the anime. |
RentNoGirlfriend said: Gokusen, which is far better than the anime. Yes same actress yukie nakama as trick, which i mentioned earlier... |

| I've seen Blade of the Immortal (good) Chihayafuru (very rushed but good. Better to think of it as a feature-length recap) Bleach (ok) Initial D (pretty meh from what I remember) Saki (the cringe nearly killed me) I tried watching the Prince of Tennis adaptation but it was too painful to watch. Some things just don't adapt well to real life. |
 A society which fails to uphold empathy as its foremost guiding principle is doomed to ignore or even defend the exploitation of its most vulnerable members. |
| Uchuu Senkan Yamato. The live action version is so awful. How did they screw it up so badly. |
| I have only watched Death Note. Well, it wasn't very good. |
