5. Code Geass
Well, Code Geass is an amazingly awesome Mecha... Comedy... Drama... uhhh... thing... that has a plot twist every episode just in case you have never heard of it... even though it aired on Adult Swim. Anyway, let's get down to reasons why it would be terrible for a live action movie. Well, the first reason is because, well if you have seen the Higurashi movie, for some reason little kids can't be in Japanese movies soo... Nunally will probably be 19 and V.V. (V2) will be as tall as Lelouch. Ok maybe that was an overexaggeration, but in the hands of people that aren't the wrighter of the series bad things can happen. Well another reason is, this anime is REALLY LONG but unlike Death Note, pretty much every single episode is important... well except for the one or two filler episodes, so summing up a what? 52 episode anime into one or hopefully more movies would destroy the plot.
4. Zatch Bell
Oh man if Zatch Bell is number 4 then you could only imagine number one. Well, what can I say, an anime about a kid who can shoot lighning out of his mouth using a book, who must burn the books of the other people who can use spells to become the king of Mamodo. Do you honastly think that the lighning effect would look cool in a live action Zatch Bell movie? Plus, how would they make a live action Kanchome? With CGI? Well if other Mamodo like Zatch or Tia (JP name Tio... just puttin this in so the fanboys don't get pissed) were actors then it would just look weird with CGI Kanchome... also, Zatch Bell is a 150 episode anime (if they include the final arc of the manga it could have been like 200 episodes), so making this anime into movies would mean to take all three seasons that each consist of 50 episodes, and make a movie out of each... well even one movie of each season sounds difficult, good thing it would be to complicated to make a live action movie... otherwise they might have...
3. Naruto
HA! What where you expecting this to be number 1? Well if you get info from trolls or idiots who don't check if their info is really correct or not then you think there actually is a live action naruto movie, don't worry though because that was only a stage play, but if you can find it online please at least check out how rediculous they look. Especially since Naruto is (and I think Sasuke might be) played by a girl, no offence in fact I think that as voice actors girls can be really good, I mean people like Maile Flanagan prove that, but a female actress playing the role of naruto... just looks weird... and in the trailer for this stage play there were special effects for Naruto's rasengan, and I'm not gonna lie to you, those were pretty awesome. Oh yeah and another reason Naruto would be bad for a live action movie is... well... just think about Sasuke's transformation into curse seal and then think of how weird it would look in live action, oh yeah and think of how weird the nine-tails would looks, then again Ryuk did look pretty awesome in those live action Death Note movies...
2. One Piece
Yeah... you pretty much saw this coming didn't you? Well if you didn't the reasons why it wouldn't transition well into live action are... Well to start off, One Piece has alot of strange villains with strange powers, remeber how I told you to imagine Sasuke's curse seal transformation in live action? Well, now I want you to imagine Buggy's regeneration thing... or what effect they would use to make him look like he has been diced to pieces. Oh yeah and when I said alot of strange villains, who pops into your head? Probably your favorite villain, but for me it's the character I would love to never see in live action... Bon Clay, seriously, I think I would puke if I had to see a guy wearing a swan outfit in live action. Sadly the Straw Hat crew wouldn't transition very well either, Chopper and Brook would probably have to be CGI... Oh yeah and One Piece is just way to long to make into movies, it would be like if they made another live action Dragon Ball Z movie but it actually followed the plot of the anime, accept I think One Piece is longer...
1. .Hack
Ok I know what your all going to say, "Why is number one an anime I have never heard of?" you want to know why? well...
Do you think any of those characters would look good in live action? Obviously no because it's not even supposed to be live action, .Hack is about some kids playing an online game so a CG movie makes perfect sense, but a live action movie, that just sounds stupid. I mean just look at them, just take another look, live action versions of that would look silly. Oh yeah and Trilogy (the CG movie) summed up the story of the three G.U. games, what would the people making the live action G.U. movie do to not seem like copycats? Uhhhh, well they could summarize Trilogy... which would really suck, but on the up side if a live action movie for any of the .hack series were to be released, we probably wouldn't get it, and if we did it wouldn't be dubbed like the live action Death Note movies, it would be subbed... I mean we only got the subbed version of Trilogy anyway.
Well that was my top 5 list for bad live action anime movies, remember I post every other day, so keep checking for posts.
c'mon, live action Code Geass sounds great! It's going to be like V for Vendetta meets Transformers! If they make into a two (one for each season) 2hr and half sci fi flick, I'll buy it.
