Random Image Thread XLIII: We were always renegades

[dasva]

Well, the common problem with a lot of the live-action anime movie adaptations is they try to cram 12-24 episodes of content (or volumes of manga) into 90m adaptations,

The only good live action jp ones I can think of from series are ones that were at least 2 movies long.... but I have little hope for us doing that since we took one of those that was 2 movies and made it 1 short one lol.

Watchman was a great live action comic movie. But what's a single good live action anime/comic movie other than that?

Not trying to argue, genuinely curious.

Jp death note was pretty good until they did that weird spin off L saves the world thing. Haven't seen them all but what I have seen the Gantz ones were pretty good. Oh some of the Rurouni Kenshin's were great

Not sure what caveat(s) you're really looking at there... so like, V For Vendetta, Road to Perdition, From Hell, Scott Pilgrim vs the World, The Crow, Sin City, Ghost World, 300, A History of Violence, Snowpiercer, Old Boy, Whiteout, and so on. Possibly others like The Fountain or 30 Days of Night that more had a general pitch and wound up doing a comic first.

Most likely, a common factor is that they tend to be based on comics/graphic novels that had more of a fixed run and could be reasonably condensed.

So those are all comics/graphic novels.

Has their been an anime that made the transition well (or is this a stupid point since most anime starts as manga/comics anyways)?

Like I could never see Bleach, DBZ, or FMA being a good live action movie, even if the anime/manga themselves are great.

Casshern? I thought that was pretty cool even despite its obvious low budget.

[dasva]

Yo I told you 3.

I know people are going to hate me for this, but I still stand by that the Ghost in the Shell remake was very faithful to the spirit of the comics. But people like to nitpick the shit out of it because white girl.

I felt the hollywood movie was missing the metaphor behind the characters inner struggles, flat out abandoning the purpose behind the grander concept behind what's going on. Had nothing to do with scarlett, and everything to do with the script. It's like the difference between the original matrix and the other two movies. The base premise of the entire trilogy is exactly the same, but the tone of first movie had a real purpose behind it that went further than cool kung fu moves and dodging bullets.

I have the same issue with the Ender's Game movie. I love live-action zero gravity laser tag, because it's cool, but the purpose behind those scenes didn't show up in the movie.

I wouldn't agree with this. The original comics were more like the TV show than the original film, and even then there's a difference in characterization. (The first 3/4ths of the original book has a slight kind of degree of Patlabor-ness that isn't in the animated versions outside of the tachikomas.)
The original film is even more different in spirit then the original comic, going way, way more serious and philosophical. Oshii is very much the other parent in this case.

And the live action film is trying to go after the movie than the show, and even then doesn't get it.

the entire matrix trilogy gets a lot better if you go back to the original concept: the machines use humans brains for processing power, instead of the stupid battery thing. the stupid battery thing was swapped in because the studio execs didnt think average people would understand about brains/processing power back in 1999.


but yeah, in that original premise, suddenly Neo's One-ness makes a helluva lot more sense.
