The kenshin trilogy was fantastic but my favorite climax will always be in The Legend Ends. There's another movie though which is the prequel "The Beginning". I still have yet to watch it though myself.
I'm genuinely surprised Hollywood wasn't falling over themselves trying to adapt MHA given it's got both the anime and capeshit angle. Perhaps now with the market cooling they'd be less interested but you would have expected quite a buzz just a couple of years ago.
Maybe it's still "too new" for the suits to gamble on, notice they're only funding remakes of shit that's 10+ years old and have long-established fanbases.
Also is MHA even done?
I think I only saw up until the bad guy with the hand on his face started showing up, s2 I think. Im waiting for a dub of the next season because this isn't Cinemaphile and I speak American
MHA isn't done but that's not stopping them from adapting One Piece which has been running for over 20 years at this point. I'm way too old to be trying to keep up with these long mangas anymore.
The one thing that I liked about them is that USUALLY that creation is from the mind of the author only and you don't need to worry about another creator stepping in for their "run" and putting their own mark on it which would frick up the previous story. Usually it just ends too, but on the other hand a title can potentially go on for years. It used to be okay back when I was younger but now not so much. Older authors who were once believed to be finished with their works are now writing sequels to older properties as well,

i haven't seen any of those but i see at least one person wearing a t-shirt of that a day. except evangelion, that's simultaneously one of the most popular and never-see-in-real-life anime
has pokemon been done live action?
Kinda, they did that detective Pikachu movie a couple years ago but I avoided it because it looked real shitty, gave me the same vibes as the live action Rocket and Bullwinkle.
Already been done, see Dragonball Evolution.
My favorite detail is Goku attending a regular highschool where bullies call him Geeku, that and Bulma having one strand of blue hair on an otherwise brown head.
God that movie sucks, it's a master class in how to mangle source material beyond recognition.
Im sorry, I meant another live action that will be ""more faithful""it will not to the anime.
Rumor has it, they are itching for Gundam live action as well and personally I liked jojo live action and I wished they would made another one to complete the DiU chapter. Too bad it bombed because japs went to see live action Gintama and because Jotaro was caught in Japan smoking weed. Thats practically a career suicide
Imagine how bonkers a live action G-Gundam would be, keep all the stereotype Gundams of course. I'd be down for an adaptation of Wing but don't know how you'd do it other than an obnoxiously long Netflix series or something. There was a good adaptation of the book Childhoods End not too long back, and it got broken into a trilogy. Maybe you could do the same with Wing and just skip Endless Waltz. I'd be afraid of it going like Alita though, a part 1 with no conclusion ever.
On paper, a proper live action Gundam would be sweet as hell. We all know how it will end up though. homies cant even make a proper Gundam game. There is no way they gonna make a proper live action Gundam adaptation
Pacific Rim showed that there is at least some market for giant robots, transformers too those those are way more shit.

Yeah there is a market for mech movies. Mech fights are always a fun blockbuster spectacle if done right. Michael bay gets it and Del Toro did it right.
I mostly worry that they will butcher Gundam by dumbing down/censoring the story to appeal to ameritards (just like they did with ghost in the shell) and hire pajeets to make Gundams on Blender

Frick me I'd already forgotten they made a live action GitS. And yeah that's why you'd need a trilogy or something to get a full story rounded out, if it's just a 2hour feature you'll never squeeze a good Gundam story into that timeframe.
Maybe the 8th MS team miniseries but then nobody cares about that if they don't already know/like the series it's an offshoot of.
Yeah they treat the weed issue over there very seriously it's fricking hilarious. I keep believing that also as the reason why his actor's role was cut down to nil in "The Final" as Shinomori and Misao was given such importance. Surprised they didn't claim he died offscreen and left him out altogether.
Agreed. Speaking of streaks though Mackenyu's been putting in work lately. Either that or he's fricking someone at Jump because that's three properties he's been part of so far.
That might actually have some promise, no ridiculous over the top anime shit to try and translate to live action, just nerds in lab coats figuring shit out. You could probably fit the plot into a 2hr movie, have Mayuri's first death be the climax of act2 so that act3 is just the mad dash to undo it and get to the root of the timeline shift.
Season 6 dub is out, and there's also 3 stand-alone movies that are pretty cool.
Damn I've got some drunk binging to do later. Also, I like headphone-jack girl.
live action western adaptions should be do the same thing anime does and play extremely loosely with the basic premise.
That way no one can get butthurt over insane bad changes

There's a Kenshin trilogy too, but that's actually pretty 1:1 with the anime.

It's not but it's set to wrap up in a year or two.

I'm pretty sure the dub is available up to season 5, just so you know.
Oh neat, thanks anon I hadn't bothered to check in quite some time so that when I did I'd have plenty to binge. I'll have to snag a torrent later.

The latest season was just on Toonami not that long ago

Watch the hxh anime (1999)
Kinda, they did that detective Pikachu movie a couple years ago but I avoided it because it looked real shitty, gave me the same vibes as the live action Rocket and Bullwinkle.
I want Ranma 1/2 live action. Just because it would have to be the most horrible thing ever.
Probably Dragon ball I guess.

i'd only want gundam wing and there are no attractive boygirl actors.
>cant even make a proper
Disagree I loved the first two Battle Assault games.
>was caught in Japan

It sucks because that dude is a decent actor and he was on a streak before this weed incident
Agreed. Speaking of streaks though Mackenyu's been putting in work lately. Either that or he's fricking someone at Jump because that's three properties he's been part of so far.

Isn't Chainsaw Man popular with the zoomers? Maybe that one is next.
Aren't they doing Yu Yu Hakusho too?
what the frick happened to legendary's Gundam movie they were supposedly working on?
I heard there was a steins gate live action underway. Haven't heard anything about that since a couple years ago
