Live Action Movies Based on Anime; or manga....

So, i'm starting this topic because, looking through an older NewType magazine from the summer, i noticed a lot of movies that are live action and based on either anime or manga.
One movie in particular caught my interest. At first i noticed that it was based on Ai Yazawa's Parakiss (which i love) and then i noticed the girl who played Gogo in kill bill 1 was the main character, and then, finally, the icing on the cake... the spirit of the musician Adam who haunts the house.... is played by HYDE!!! HYDE people!!!! HYDE!!!! (for those of you who dont know -which makes me cry-- HYDE is only the best j-pop singer (lead singer of L'Arc~En~Ciel)...and he's hot and sexy and i love him!!!!)
there are also many movies out there that are live action and based off of awesome manga, like the NANA movies, and the new Deathnote movie, and the cromartie high school movie.
lets chat about some movies!

GTO live action - I liked that. It's been a long time since I saw it though. I don't really remember too much about it.

I rather liked the NANA movie, but I wished it could have gone on longer into the manga story... when all the *real* drama begins.

Also... I'm not sure but I think Casshern is based on something or other. It confused the hell outta me tho.. I should find it again to rewatch it. Anyone else seen it?

I found the sailor moon live action hilarious, and also filled with yuri. even more than the anime. Also Initial D was made into a live action CHINESE movie. Cinema gold folks.

The Dragon Ball movie (a Chinese movie I think) is one of the worst thing I was given to see. Loved it XD

I watch Sailor Moon Live when I want to let my brain rest. It's priceless

I don't want to watch the Nana movie so as not to get spoiled, but if it doesn't go that much into the story... I'm only watching the anime for now, does it go farther?

i'm afraid to see the sailor moon live action movie...its gotta suck... well...yuri scares me... so thats reason enough i guess lol

lol @ at the yuri comments.

yes... the NANA manga goes waaaaaay farther than the movies or anime. Although I've only seen the first movie. It was like the first 2 manga volumes or something.

Also, live action sailor moon is priceless. Just because it's sooo silly with the tranformations and big rubber monsters.. power rangers styleee

I've never seen any yuri in Sailor Moon, some people are perverted :P

ok I can watch the Nana movie safely then ^^ (and be disappointed because it covers only the beginning of the story xD)

what about me and yuri? reversed? do you mean yaoi? idk... i'd rather stick to normal boxXgirl pairings. which is why i LOVE nana!!! because ren and nana are just sooooooo hot and sexyyyyy >.< woot!!

gah...just imagine if they made ouran high school host club into a live action movie.... i'd be laughing my ass off even more than when i watch the anime or read the manga!!

I watched Boogiepop Phantom Live Action....the only part i remember is the beginning. Theres a chick licking the eye of some dead chick on the ground....I want to rewatch this now. I just read the manga books not so long ago and read the novel, my friend is giving me the next novel whever I make it down to Stratford sometime and I re-watched the series after reading the manga/novels and it made SO MUCH SENSE! Completely unlike the first time I watched the series.

EDIT: >.> It was supposed to be produced by the Sci Fi channel but they dropped it :/
