| According to a poll conducted by Oricon, 65% of people are not pleased with the live-action adaptations of anime and manga. 70% want the producers to make a proper choice of the cast.

| well Dragonball movie was pretty GREAT wasn't it? |
| I think #2 is more important than #1 though they both matter. |
| Hmm interesting. I am not too surprised. I watched some of the Hayate no Gotoku taiwan-drama and I dropped it after 2 episodes. Hinagiku seemed to have been merged with Ayumu or something (I am not quite sure, I dropped it before she showed up.) Maria is turned into a scheming bitch. Nagi was given a supposedly a various famous actor, which implies that the live action would focus on her. In my opinion, the HnG live action failed at number one, and since most of the plot is driven by the characters, it subsequently failed number two as well. tl;dr: I agree with the sentiment. |

| I've only seen a handful of anime adaptions, but none of them were any good - probably hard to recreate the anime "feel" in a live action movie or tv show. /trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. However - DB Evolution. so....ya.... Other anime movies we have to "look forward to"? Death Note - The studio almost got Ryok taken out of it. Light might be turned into a blameless good guy by the end anyway. Akira - Basically the same story, except without the supernatural powers. In case you've never seen, that's like saying "Lucky Star without Moe" or "Evangelion without Evas, Angels or psychologically messed up people." Cowboy Bebop - I heard they wanna cast Keanu Reeves as Spike. Keanu Reeves has never acted a character with a personality like Spike's before (that i know of.) Probably a few more I've not heard of yet - I truly hope these turn out well, but I doubt they will. |
| no surprise there - personally, i can't really see the reason for making live action versions in the first place - you lose all the romance, mystery, and beauty of the original anime format! |
 |
| Well all of the time, the movie has about 1 hour to tell the story. While the anime series has over 10 hours to do so. Trying to stuff all that info in that short amount of time is insane. In plan honesty every live action movie based off an anime has and always sucked. The only way a live action movie of anime would be any good is if the anime was already a movie to begin with. |
| Agree with them |
 |
| all of the live actions i've seen is very different from the anime. it makes me depressed everytime. thats why now i decided not to watch live actions. i guess the number is actually greater. maybe 80% or something. |

GO_KLAC-IGER said: give reasons why live action anime sometimes indeed flops 1.not enough based on anime. 2.add too much original stuff in live action version (looking at you hollywood) 3.really all been put in movie version really for safe start do it on the tv. Agreeing with these above. They change it so it's appropriate to real life, and not faithful to the story, because some are really difficult to be done in real life. I feel that the live-action is made just to please the "normal" (not manga/anime fans) audiences. On the other side, I'm still kind of looking forward to live-action Rurouni Kenshin Movie (I heard the OVA coming out this December is just to prepare for the live action movie). |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| Im definitely part of the 65%. |
  |
| 65% of the people that watch live action adaptations have taste. |
| #2 should be at the top IMO. |
"Your taste is shit cause you like what I hate. Believe me I have 1000 cartoons that I rated with less than 5."  |
| Most of cases a live action is really good like kimi ni todoke or paradise kiss. But sometimes they fail. |
| Yes I agree !! I'm maybe the best fan of Sailor Moon series but i can't stand the live version !! I wish we had a new anime serie instead :((( |
| 99% of live actions based on anime fail miserably, I'm glad the Japanese are starting to notice this. |
 |
Hoppy said: 99% of live actions based on anime fail miserably, I'm glad the Japanese are starting to notice this. definitely... I think the last good Live Action adaptations of Anime and Manga that I saw is Death Note... |
| despite this truth in the failure of most live actions, nodame cantabile is really awesome. by far the best live action adaption i've seen (even though it aired Before the anime..). it's funny and stays true to the characters. watched the whole series twice. |
AlexSadist-sama said: I think #2 is more important than #1 though they both matter. that |
 |
| True most of the drama/movie adaptations i watched were bad, also sometimes they try to make it too much like anime/manga and turns out weird ( Doramas) and let's just forget about Hollywood. Takeru looks pretty good as Kenshin, hopefully it won't dissapoint. |
AlexSadist-sama said: I think #2 is more important than #1 though they both matter. VERY TRUE. Hell cares about the rest, this is the most important thing. |
 |
| Both are important imo. I mean,look at Death Note,Yagami looks like a total idiot in the movie (No offense,actor dude). Only L fits his character perfectly. |
 |
| i am with the 65% |
| i am going to be the i the one with the biggest manga pocket collgection url=http://myanimelist.net/animelist/enerjak&sclick=1]  [/url] |

 |
| i'm not really surprise |
| Animu is hard to capture in live action. |

| The Cromartie High School movie was stupid, silly, and dumb. I loved it. |
 |
AlexSadist-sama said: I think #2 is more important than #1 though they both matter. Agreed. To be honest, I thought the percentage would be much higher. Personally, of all the live actions I've seen, I've only liked 2: Death Note (wasn't even really that accurate to the original story) and Ouran High School Host Club (saw 1st few eps, and it was stupid, but in a cute parody way, so I liked it). I don't know, the whole idea of live-action anything just rubs me the wrong way. |
| Up next; the US rape of Akira. Don't miss it ;P |
| The 35% are those without taste. |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |

 |
| i know i really think there going to destroy a great anime there. Also from what i'v herd on a few movie sites there not finished with the live action crossover yet they are planing a Robotech film with Tobey Maguire the writers of Smallville are sorting the story for it... If i'm not mistaken didn't they make another tv sires the cape or something i don't know it was that bad that didn't even finish the first twelve episodes it got canceled. |
| Two wrongs don't make a right! but three rights make a left... |
| I dont give a shit about any of it as long as the movie is good. |
| The only live-action adaptations I've seen and liked were the Gantz movies. |
| The adaptions I've seen were meh...they were okay, but could have been better. |
| Well, the main reason why I don't like live action adaptations because I find the acting simply... awkward. ^^; What works in anime, doesn't work in real life. |
| Honestly I am not surprised. Anime movies have been notoriously horrid no matter what country makes them. |
AlexSadist-sama said: I think #2 is more important than #1 though they both matter. Exactly what I thought. I haven't seen a good live action adaption in... quite a while. And, for me, it's mostly because of #2. #1 contributes to it... quite a bit, but still. |
 |
| Nodame Cantabile and Great Teacher Onizuka are a couple of good examples that worked well for Live Action. |
 Also check my website for weekly anime rankings of the newly released episodes: http://roanapurblog.com |
| Anime usually doesn't transfer well to live action movies and tv-shows. I feel like they sometimes rely on the gimmick "hai guise this an anime live action movie look at us!!", and now on good writing or acting, and thus it could sometimes get difficult for people who haven't seen the anime/read the manga to understand what the hell is even going on half the time. |
| American Adaptations mainly.They F up the series. They Americanize them so the American people would give them money.They don't give a rat's ass about the actual people who made the series popular in the 1st place,THE FANS.Dragonball Evolution. is the most infamous example of American rape of anime. They changed big things such as plot,characters personality,setting & anything Hollywood believe would drive away average Americans. The magic of Anime & Manga is because it IS anime & manga.If they even THINK about touching One Piece,it's certain they rape it harder than Dragonball. In Fact:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C37IZ5dyUbY Watch this video about Hollywood & an anime fans response to it's current state. |
| My Devianart Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan. |
| Yep..I'm part of that statistic. |
     #Feitoism @ irc.rizon.net - the official IRC channel for Fate Testarossa.  |
| the cromartie high movie is a perfect example of how a anime to live action CAN actually work |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
