I would say cowboy bebop before the casting fucked up, but I would say at least the first two parts of JoJo...part 5 and 3 too maybe. Part 4 is the only one that wouldn't work.

I think a lot of rom-coms would work well, since they don't rely on animation as much.

I figured Gundam would be good in the right hands.

Then again, just like with any other pick, we all know they'd screw it up and completely miss the various messages and themes in it. They'd miss all the "war is hell" stuff and just make it about cool giant robots fighting. It would be another Transformers. The young soldiers thrust into a horrible world of war that they never knew before would be making quips while killing Zakus and stuff.

Perfect Blue, but that's probably too easy of an answer. I'll go with Vampire Hunter D for an anime that's a little bit out there but can be believable with live actors.

Cowboy Bebop seems obvious, as does Trigun with maybe a bit more Western focus.

But to me the biggest example would be Berserk, especially after the successes of Game of Thrones and The Witcher.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Dreamworks still has the rights for some reason.

I think that Banana Fish could also make a good LA adaptation.

it's about a teenage former male prostitute (it wasn't his choice) and current gang leader who's warring with a mob boss who took him in when he was younger, and while forcing him to be his sex slave, also taught him: culture, combat, academics, etc.

I'm surprised there hasn't been a live action adaptation of Psycho Pass or Black Lagoon yet.

Anyways, aside from the ones already mentioned like Monster, I can see Baccano possibly working.
