The original Star Wars trilogy for me. It'd be even better if it were in the style of anime at that time. Even though I wasn't alive then, I miss the 80s. I'd love to see Mara Jade, too. I do personally think the sequels are not worthy of such treatment.

I think a Kill Bill anime would be amazing.

@Kinspie13 Yeah, I think 70's/90's were the best decades for movies/TV series.

@Clovis I second this.

If not same story. I want to see O-Ren story separately. Tarentino did her backstory in animated form anyway.

John Wick. I can really see this work as an anime. Could use the first film or all of them.

Dead Poets society. Doesn't have to be action. And there isn't enough drama with a male focus in anime.

The Princess Bride might work in a Ghibli style

I've not seen Amelie but it's synopsis sounds like it would translate well into anime

Edge of Tomorrow, the fact that it got turned into a live action movie and not an anime is sorta funny to me

Suffice it to say that for a Harrison Ford movie, I'd support “Witness”.
If I could have seen the scenery of the Amish community in detailed artwork.

The TV drama, “The Prisoner”
I found that I love peculiar villages.

“Groundhog Day”
“Chungking Express”
“The Elephant Man”
“The Tin Drum”
“Stalker”(Tarkovsky)
“The Legend of Suram Fortress”(Parajanov)

And “The Big Bang Theory”, the sitcom.
I haven't viewed the whole series through. Gimmie footnotes.

I would also love to go for star wars especially after knowing how Visions looked like. I would be interested in action history inspired movies which I liked a lot to see as anime like Gladiator 1, Alexander from 2004, King Arthur from 2004, Kingdom of Heaven, Private Ryan, Troy etc.
Battle of Kerrak scene with full on animation it would be a great experience.

I think almost every possible live-action series has already been converted into an anime. Correct me if I am wrong?

I'd like to see Star Wars get remade as well but this time it should be from the point of view of the imperials and the sith/dark side of the force instead.

"Sucker Punch" is the first movie that came to mind, but mainly because that already feels like such an anime. A live-action-movie-turned-anime that I would definitely watch would be "Close-Knit" (or "Nobody Knows"). They're Japanese movies, so the chances would be more likely, but "Close-Knit" would make for a good, episodic slice-of-life series and "Nobody Knows" would be gut-wrenching but possibly even more compelling with more time.

"The Green Knight" could also make for a cool anime series.

Dr. Who (even though its not a movie, still would be a fun anime), Intersteller, and Live Action One piece.

@Ambeon TV shows count too. I should've specified that.

That sounds like an intriguing vision! The original Star Wars trilogy reimagined as 80s-style anime would be quite a spectacle. The unique aesthetic of 80s anime would add a fresh, dynamic layer to the beloved saga.

Mara Jade would be a fantastic addition, bringing a complex and compelling character into the fold. The sequels, while ambitious, haven't always hit the mark for everyone. Combining the storytelling of the original Wellstar MyChart trilogy with the distinctive flair of 80s anime would indeed create something magical.

If only we had a time machine to see this dream come to life! Speaking of Star Wars, do you have any favorite characters or moments from the saga?

@Zarutaku GOATED choice. I love that movie...I also like to see Akira Kurosawa's Ran animated.

Other choices for me are LOTR (book adaptation). In reality I would like to see more books adapted since animation is more flexible than live action and can be more immersive that CGI (live action CGI).

@diana45peters My absolute favorite character has gotta be Princess Leia! Carrie Fisher was my bisexual awakening! She and Han Solo are my OTP. I love any scenes where they have sexual tension:)

I hardly even watch live-action movies/ television shows. Needless to say, they are extremely cringy to watch...most of the time. I mostly watch anime television shows/movies. However, I rarely even watch television...I much rather read a good book or blog.
