The Top 10 Anime's That I think Should Be Made Into A Live Action Film.

10) Hellsing

I choose this one as number 10 because although it has great violence, the story isn't very solid. The Story is basically this there's a man named Alucrad (which is Dracula backwards) he saves a girl (the name escapes me). She then joins the group of religious folk who seem to be controlling Alucrad with something.

The Story continues with basically no character developments, or story changes.

All-in-all if they do make this into a film I'd still go see it, but it wouldn't surprise me if it sucked.

9) Trinity Blood

Now this is a strange choice cause the anime did what most movies do to Video Games and Comics (they change it completely), within the first two minutes of the first episode you notice that the beginning has been totally switched. But the action in the series brilliantly Animated, and the voice acting is second-to-none. The anime did leave off certain plot points that needed to be there to understand what goes on midway through the series.

All-in-all, this anime is one of my favorites. I'm not to kine on the religious aspect but it works. This is also another anime that uses the "The vampire that uses some sort of highly advanced technology to control how much power he is able to use (Hellsing did this also)

8) Ergo Proxy

With the rise of a lot of those Religious and Spiritual Animes they have out there now.

A good friend of Mine, Dan (who runs his own Anime Shop here in the Tri-Cities) told me about Ergo Proxy. The Story Revolves around planet earth and that its become so polluted that humans had the live in these Bubble Cities (or Domes) And an Immigrant named Vincent gets caught up in something, and a woman named Re-l gets sent to investigate. She than has to search for a Proxy that attacked her and it seems to follow Vincent. There are 300 Proxy's known to exist, they are a race of creatures who control the fate of the humans and can control the domes like gods.

All-in-all It is a good Doomsday/Post-Apocalyptic story. Plus it focuses a lot on the spiritual willness of the human race, and the struggle to understand who you are.

7) Guyver

Now, this is something I've wanted redone since I was a kid. This anime if you were born after the 80's, you would understand it. Yea, they did remake the series, and they did a DAMN good job at it. What the original anime lacked was darkness, pain and the grittiness that the Newer Sho had.

The old live action films of course these are classics but nowadays we have the technology to take this show move it to the next level.


All-in-all this anime had great scenes of violence and gore, and showed that having BioBoosted Armor means that if you hit someone they wont just fall to the ground about 4 feet away, they will fly maybe 50 yards and crash in the great explosion.

6) GANTZ

This Anime is probably best known for its gruesome death scenes. I mean, SHIT! In the first episode you see the main character (and his friend) get hit by a train.

This anime did open my eyes a little bit, if there is someone in danger (like say about to get hit by a train) no one (I mean NO ONE!) will help him. They'll just watch, cause that's what we do, we as humans are used to living a bored and dull existence. So when something like comes are all we do is watch cause we want to see him die.

This anime is full of mystery and violence. In the story a guy in a highly advance Ball thing (GANTZ) is in a room and it choices those who have just died to play a game, and those who beat the chosen game will go on living until it needs them again.

All-in-all The animation is flawless (as are the death scenes), and it story is original.

5) Paranoia Agent

This anime meets in the middle. Why? Because this would make a great Detective/Comedy movie. The reason why I want this to be a film is because they don't make Detective comedy stories anymore (I do believe the last one was "Who Framed Roger Rabbit").

Paranoia Agent brings in great humor and also a kind of gritty and compelling detective story.


Now, the reason why it's number 5 on the list is for this one problem. the humor in the series sometimes comes off as a little over the top.

All-in-all I wish they would make more detective films.

4) AKIRA

Yes, yes Iam aware that they are making it already but you have to remember that the title says "The Top 10 Anime's That I think Should Be Made Into A Live Action Film."
Not "The Top 10 Anime's That Are Being Made in Live Action Film"

All-in-all That all I have to say... It's Akira! What more can I say!?

3) Cowboy Bebop

This anime is also #3 on my Favorite Anime's List. This series should be made into a film for three very important reasons.

A) It's focused are four people (and a dog) in a ship catching wanted people for cash. This has the makings of a great movie (or Largely financed TV series)

B) Very stylized for its time. Plus, SPIKE KICKS ASS!!!!

C) It was on back when Adult Swim didn't suck ASS like it does now.


2) Trigun

I've wanted this to be made into a Live Action movie back when I watched it on (huh! Well, whatdoyaknow!!!) Adult swim.

Trigun had had some of the best idea's roled into one. A Sci-fi/ Western story about a man who isn't human (but a weapon) who ages like a tree.

Right off the bat you know your not on earth, it's an entirely desert planet.

Anyways, This mans name is Vash (the Stampede), he is a wanted man with 60 Billion (Double) Dollars on his head.

All-in-all this anime is full of great action, and humor. and good gun play.

(DRUM ROLL)

The #1 Anime that I think should be made into a live action film is:

1) Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team

I loved this anime from beginning to end. The idea behind it was fascinating and the action was steady and well placed. If you have watched the other gundams and not this one, well I will warn you. They don't fly into space. This Gundam takes place on earth. Which means they have less maneuverability so they actually have to learn to use them in an untamed environment. This anime has yet another compelling love story of to people who are on opposite sides of the war who are in love with one another. That is a great story twist that I love in animes.

All-in-all The triumph of Love over sides really hits me in the soft spot (oh that sound s little weird)

Plus, giant Robots are awesome!!! Just look at how Tranformers did.
