I forgot how creepy live action Death Note was! Thanks for reminding me.
Kosmonavt
Kimi ni todoke is one of my favorite things in the whole world. Thank you so much. ;_;
Ireallyneedhugs
Out of all of these, I heard Rurouni Kenshin is the only good one. Confirm?
GnaeusMarcius
Really enjoyed the rurouni kenshin movies. Action scenes were pretty good
drunkmermaid
Kimi ni Todoke was fantastic so was Lupin the III. I actually love love loved Library Wars one too- though not many know about it.
PrairieSquid
YES!! LIbrary War is one of my most favorite series EVER. NO one knows about it. HI fellow LW fan! *waves enthusiastically*

+1 for originality. Thank you for not reposting a buzzfeed thread.

I heard the Attack on Titan one was awful.
Quesly
its real shit.
schawdaya
but to be fair i had really low expectations. If you're a fan of the show it's definitely worth a watch 2/2
WhoTheFuckisGavin
It's out already?
GrunkleStan
I've seen it recently. It's really, really, really bad.
fufuwewe
given the source material its not really somthing thats even possible to do in live action, they only tried because of the popularity
cocoakoumori
I didn't realise it was out yet. Where can I rent it/watch it?
schawdaya
I love the show, have barely read the manga and I really liked the movie TBH. It shifts details but keeps the essence of the story 1/2
noone1mportant
:( I hope not, I'm really looking forward to it!
DelaysAction
As a big fan of the anime, I tried watching the movie. Could not finish it, really terrible. Some characters are destroyed by changes.
RandomStranger55
The Live Action Rurouni Kenshin is actually fucking fantastic.

The 2015 live action Death Note series is much better than the 2006 version.
cocoakoumori
The drama? Gotta say, I was really disappointed with it. The Light and L aren't even vaguely like they are in the manga/anime. :(
aprilludgateduire
I haven't seen the live action one but holy shit live action Ryuk is the stuff of nightmares

The plural to anime is just anime... there is no s anywhere.

Except, there was, and because people ignore that, they've stopped fighting, and a sequel may soon be made. A SEQUEL. Thanks. Thanks a lot.
thymus
Maybe, they do something really great and because of this first live action nobody wants to see it!
TheLordLucifersBannedAccount02
No. M Night was defending his work saying it was perfect for a cartoon adaption.
thymus
Perfect? What about some modesty or self-criticism?
TheLordLucifersBannedAccount02
He doesn't have any.
kongfuchicken
How so? I'd love for a last airbender movie to be made! Think about it! It'd be animated and they'd have the original cast and awesome plot

Perfect ending!!! made me think, AYE AVATAR! I forget im not the only one who loves it!

That Kenshin one had some really beautiful sword-fighting choreography - pretty much coolest looking style I've seen in live-action films.
Fotostatica
I saw it in the flight from Vancouver to Tokyo and made me incredibly happy.
hangemhigh13
Have you seen Zatoichi?

Ye, I have.
FernMayoooo
I agree.
BrokeMyFunnyBone
The action was good but the acting left a bit to be desired.
HypersonicHarpist
Is it on Netflix? That's my favorite anime, but I didn't know there was a live action movie! :D
eroso
I dunno, but! Not just one, there are three live action movies :)
HypersonicHarpist
Really?! I need to find them!
DelaysAction
The Kenshin trilogy is a really good anime adaption. Probably the best of them all.
TheLurkIsReal
Wait, trilogy? What have I been missing...
DelaysAction
They have released 3 live action movies. 2nd is called Kyoto Inferno and 3rd is called The Legend Ends. Highly recommended movies.
Randersuarus
I loved that anime!! (:
Dreamqueefer
Not nearly enough love on here for it.
MrRectangle
its a really good anime that it is
Cadaverific
Is it good? Im considering watching a new one. Ive done Bleach, Soul Reaper, Champloo, HSD Kenichi, & Bebop. Was thinking Kenshin or Gangsta
Randersuarus
I think it's good, it's older but a classic
Cadaverific
Meh i dont mind older. Bebop is older and its amazing. I dont wanna watch another anime with a million episodes like 1-P or naruto though
eroso
I suggest that u'll start with Rurouni Kenshin: Trust And Betrayal OVA (1999). It's better quality than the series and it begins the story
eroso
It's also just 4 episodes, not ~100 episodes as the series itself is
Cadaverific
I shall do that :) TY kind sir! Shall watch them tonight
SanKa13
Me 2. Binge watched it in high school. 15 episodes in one day
Randersuarus
I watched it when I was a kid, every Saturday night on toonami or whatever it was called
GuyNamedSean
I've gotta see the live action Rurouni Kenshin. Is it any good?
maymay1588
It is amazing. Probably one of the best live actions I have ever seen. There are three movies and they are long, but worth it.
LyfLesOrdnry
Where can I find those? Amazon? Netflix?
themuse011
Amazon: Rurouni Kenshin Trilogy [Blu Ray], $75 with Prime.
PrairieSquid
They're not out on DVD in the US...I was..creative in getting my copies.
PrairieSquid
YES. SEE ALL THREE NOW!
Daloth
THERE IS A LIVE KENSHIN
trlmssb
The movies are really really good too.
TheH4cker4Chan
I KNOW RIGHT. THATS WHAT I SAID
TheCrazy88Horse
The first one is good. I feel the second and third could have been written better. Defo watch that first one man! It's great!.
DelaysAction
Sure they leave some stuff out, but they are still great movies. And the fights are spectacular.
TachyonCode
That's somewhat ironic.
fenomas
Apparently there's also a live action "Akira" coming 2017, with shia lebouef as kaneda. Trailer photo:
Sauroctonus
I'm glad you did.
CamelSpotter
If anyone can do that movie, it would be Tarantino.
hoeya
Thank god that' not true.

CANADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
noone1mportant
This legitimately made me laugh out loud.
PlantainSuperNova
Changing the setting to America basically kills the story. Akira is basically one big metaphor about how effed up modern Japan is.

Is the Lupin live action good? I loved the cartoon.

Hope your ready for the new show coming this year.
difficultdifficultlemondifficult
Seriously? Live action or animated?
Sasarious
animated
Hedgehogie
But...but.... Avatar isn't an anime! *checks title* Nice save.
FarkasMacTavish
Mnehdebatable. Especially since "anime" is just short for "animeshon", which is the borrowed form of "animation". /o3o/
Poobydooby
does it even matter what you call it
vrakebrae
They're making a sequel. This is not a drill. I repeat. They are making sequel.
fenomas
Hmm, Avatar's Japanese wikipedia page considers it an anime. Somebody should totally explain to them their mistake...
avidatheist
Oh man, you mean another country with a different language and culture classifies something differently than it is here?
Felman
I'm curious. What makes it not anime?
GhoulsGW
it's not japanese
aFloridaMan1
Was made in America, not Japan. It uses the anime style, but is not anime.
Wastyvez
Eh, that's not even true. Avatar's art style is like a mix, influenced by eastern art and typical anime styles, as well as american cartoons
Emilianor
well, an anime is a Japanese cartoon, Avatar isn't japanese
Mithi
Anime is the japanese loanword for "cartoon" (either from french "dessin animé" or english "animation"), so yeah, Avatar is anime. (1)
dasapm
but we are not japanese, so anime are cartoons from japan.
Mithi
Even if die-hards want to have it otherwise, I wouldn't dare to explain to Japanese people that they use their words wrong. (2)
avidatheist
They don't use their word wrong. Instead we both use the word differently to mean different things. This can't be that hard to understand.
Tsumino79
it is an anime it is an animated cartoon that is what anime means some people however use it to distinguish japanese from western cartoons
ryannnnnnnnnnnnn
Even Japanese people use it to distinguish Japanese cartoons and western ones.
Tsumino79
and not all japanese people use it to distinguish the two i know a good few who do not
fenomas
Nah, in Japanese "anime" can refer anything from Akira to Disney to claymation. It just means "animation".
ryannnnnnnnnnnnn
I'm speaking about Japanese people and the way the word is used. Western animation is often referred to differently
Tsumino79
i am going on the actual translation (and origins - animated -> anime) of the word
SirBedeveretheWise
In order for it to be "anime", it must be Japanese. Avatar has a lot of asian influence, but at the end of the day, it's and american show.
fenomas
Here in Japan it's referred to as an anime.
TheBlackHearted1
We are going by the weeaboo definition
Oruz
I mean, technically it's anime, since anime is translated to animation.
TheBlackHearted1
Here in America we use the weeaboo definition.
Poobydooby
that woul mean everything animated is anime
ohmywordddddddddd
Yes
SuperManlyManMan
Anime - a style of Japanese film and television animation, typically aimed at adults as well as children. Also, most animes are adaptions.
Oruz
'In Japan the word refers to all animation, being a shortened form of the rōmaji animēshon.'
SuperManlyManMan
I would refer to is as a cartoon, though there's nothing wrong with that. I mean just because it's a cartoon doesn't mean it's inferior.
PurpleisaWake
To be honest I only clicked on this post to see if you had seen the Rurouni Kenshin live action movies, pleasant surprise to see it's a post
PurpleisaWake
exactly about that, what did you think?
noone1mportant
I've just seen the first one and it was just absolutely amazing. As a big fan of the anime, I really did love it.
PrairieSquid
I've got all three and they're fucking amazing. RK is my favorite favorite. INcredibly well done!
datGuyInTokyo
I saw it recently, and it's entertaining, with a good balance in what they decided to keep. I'd say Kyoto Inferno is the best of the 3.
lerre
Having watched the anime several times I loved the first movie, second movie wasn't as good, third movie was nearing mediocre territory.
lerre
In the first one they followed the anime a lot, after that they deviated too much. Should've chosen a direction instead of mishmashing.
datGuyInTokyo
Trivia (after watching the films I did a bit of Wikipedia): the outfit of the Shinsengumi members is accurate, and Saito Hajime did exist.
datGuyInTokyo
Moreover, some of his traits are accurate (heavy smoker, cold personality), and he indeed used a left-hand thrust attack, although 1/2
datGuyInTokyo
as a surprise trick rather than charge as depicted in the manga. 2/2
noone1mportant
I am waiting for my friend to see the others as we said we'd watch them together. I want to so bad though!
PurpleisaWake
I only just bought the third a week back but it was amazing as well, each actually gets better, the only bad thing I can say about it is
PurpleisaWake
that it ends, I haven't watched the anime myself but it's good to see someone who has enjoyed it.
noone1mportant
Ah! I can't wait to watch it!! I'm so excited!
NowYouKnowMySecret
Shouldnt have looked at the live action death note gif while trying to fall asleep..

I'm sorry for the nightmares friend. If it makes you feel better he's kinda goofy in the movie!

Has anyone seen that movie, is it any good?
noone1mportant
It has its charms for what it is. Honestly I thought it was fan made when I first watched it; the quality of acting comes and goes.

Apparently What's-his-name still defends his movie version; saying it's a show for 6 year olds, so that's who the movies for.

BlueBomber05
That's also how George Lucas defends his Star Wars prequels
starrydance
They said his name wrong. His NAME. How do you mess up the main characters name?! Gaaahhh! *rages*
iSoulend
How do you mess up Sokka ?! It's such an easy name!
aromaticfable
They pronounced it like Ah-ng, rather than the proper Ayy-ng, right?
starrydance
Yes =/
onikame
It's properly pronounced in the show because that's how they pronounced it. They said Aang, as hung in the movie!? wtf.
starrydance
Exactly! I totally see how in a book you could be all "no its like this". But a multi-season show that says it 10x an episode? No excuse.
