I honestly think we just just stop with film adaptations. Film makers don't like nerd stuff and have zero respect for source material, and lots of times the merits of the original medium were important to the story anyway.

Movies should be original works tbh.

I'd like to see a live action InuYasha. Of course, they'd have to modify the story slightly to have Kagome in college. 15 is okay in anime years, but in live action she needs to be 18.

I've never seen a lot of Japanese produced movies so you're probably right.

I'd be down to at least give a Japanese-made anime movie a shot.

Turning a whole anime to a single movie generally sucks and I think a lot of my favorite anime already had LA movies or LA tv series.

That said, some of Record of the Lodoss War would probably be great as a LA film. Plus I guess now that some of Junji Ito's stuff was adapted in the Junji Ito collection, those same stories could be done as a LA. Then again, I think some of my favorite Junji Ito stories (like the "Black Paradox" series) haven't even been adapted for manga.

A LA IY would be neat, but LOL @ the age change suggestion. I guess you must think that a high school supernatural romance film wouldn't do well at the box office... despite so many supernatural romance films absolutely killing the box office.

What don't you like about the Japanese movies? Just curious... I thought they were pretty good. The guy who played L (Kenichi Matsuyama) was perfect for the role. The 2015 drama was good too, had a unique take on the series (Mello being Near's alter ego was awesome tbh).

it's been a long time since I've seen the original Japanese movies (I think it was the first two), and I don't think that I saw the one(s?) with Mello and Near.

but all I can remember is that I didn't like them, for some reason.

None, really. Most of the anime I like is either sci-if or fantasy, which would necessitate a massive budget to work remotely well without looking shitty, and I'm not sure the end result would work really well.

I guess if I had to choose maybe One Punch Man, but I'd expect Hollywood to miss the point and end up being generic crap.

Hmm. As noted, there isn't much faith in Hollywood getting it right. And even assuming that they do magically get it right for purposes of this, most of the really beautiful prospects already look beautiful in their current state as well.

A properly and well-done series of movies based on Ghost in the Shell could be pretty awesome, is about all I've got. Maybe Golgo-13 too (I wouldn't even mind them spinning him into a more good-guy sort of assassin-mercenary if they got the rest right).

Then again, it might be amusing to try and see Hollywood try and bumble their way through that one about reincarnating as a slime. Seems like a great mix of all the things that would stump Hollywood producers. A main character who isn't human, and isn't just in a setting where animals talk to each other or something. A protagonist whose internal monologues are important to things and would need to be left in and done properly. Lots of fantasy, magic, and other fun stuff mixed with some things that are unexplained enough that most producers would come to their preferred conclusion based on early material and just alter the setting to that.

The Ghost in the Shell Scarjo movie was alright, and I say that as someone who has GitS as my favorite anime series and was looking for anything to hate about that movie

I think Black Lagoon could have a good adaptation but it would probably end up as a generic action movie. Another one could be Psycho Pass as a good sci fi movie.

The problem is that over the top highly unrealistic stuff doesn't translate well to live action. Can't have people shooting energy blasts or alchemic weapons at each other without it looking super dumb, so you're pretty much restricted to "realistic" action shows, shows that would come across as your typical sci fi movie, or Fast and Furious shit

It doesn't have to be Hollywood, though. It just specifies a movie. It could even be Bollywood. Imagine a musical version of a lot of anime.

Speaking of, I'm changing my answer to Goblin Slayer. Hadn't thought about it. And it'd be relatively easy to work a story into film.

I dunno, special effects are pretty good these days. They do those things in superhero movies and it looks good. I think the result just depends on the director and budget.

A 22 year old half-demon romances a girl who just turned 15. Par the course for anime. The start of a second Civil War for puritanical America. It's just easier to leave him 22 and age her up to 18 so that it's not weird.
