@ejk1 Your right, perhaps i was being a bit pessimistic. With the right talent behind the cameras anything can work. Your reference of the terrible Dragon Ball movie is spot on. It almost felt like a Syfy moie but with better FX...not much better but a little.

@Brizzy @skywise No to Death Note and Samurai Champloo for the same reason: You would have to either change it entirely. Yes, there is a Death Note film allegedly coming, but it will take place in America, and probably with a white actor playing Light. This begs the following questions: 1) Will he still be Light "Yagame," or Light Smith? and 2) IF Ryukk is a Shinigami, why is the story in America and not Japan? The answer to both questions is simple: Whitewashing. And Samurai Champloo would face the same thing. The shows I mentioned are ready made for American audiences. They are not featuring Japanese settings or characters only. This is key because I don't want the integrity of animes/mangas damaged by whitewashing (and if you don't think that will happen, look to Dragonball as evidence). @skywise I think the other shows could definitely benefit from long running TVshows or a movie series. Claymore and Trinity Blood animes for example did not have good finishes because the mangas were not finished. Yes the other shows are great, but anime is a niche genre; a live action treatment could give these great shows a new, vibrant life in front of new audiences.

....they are still making these things? I was a bit out of the age bracket for this show when it was on but even my nephew thought it was silly. No real story to be had but to each his own.
On the other hand it was my nephew that introduced me to Hellsing if that puts things into perspective at all.

@ejk1 I would also throw Samurai Champloo in there. Yes it would be a time piece but the characters were very edgy. Not to mention its the same director from Cowboy Bebop (which i absolutly adore)
Interesting that you put hellsing down there. While the animation was not the best it had a very unique and intruiging story. Trigun on the other hand i never got in to.
I thought the girl who lefpt thru time would make a good american movie if done right and Ghost in the Shell would b pretty sweet. Having said that, all those you and I mentioned are perfect the way they are. anime doe not transfer well to the big screen but Bebop and Ghost in the Shell certainly would.

Animes/Mangas that could (and maybe should) be made into AMerican films or TV shows:
Cowboy Bebop
Full Metal Alchemist/FMA Brotherhood.
Wolf's Rain
Trigun
Hellsing
Black Lagoon
Baccano
Claymore
Trinity Blood
Gungrave
Why these, and few others? Because unlike Bleach and Naruto, there is almost no whitewashing involved. Most of the characters in these animes/mangas are not Japanese, and neither is the setting. Unlike Pokemon or YuGiOh, the above stories could bring in adult audiences (hell, Black Lagoon and Hellsing are definitely R-rated, and a case could be made for the others to be so as well).

@bawnian-dexeus The Pokemon name is too prominent in younger audiences, unfortunately we'll never ever see an edgy Pokemon film. Heck, they couldn't even make Green Lantern edgy, I'm starting to lose hope in Hollywood...
@moviewiz001 I always preferred the Yugioh movies that came with a bad-ass training card! =P

@ChiRep-1 Just think about for a second how it can go. One, the studio will literally make the live action film like that youtube parody, if you know what I mean. Two, they can really drop the cuteness of it all and give us some mature, bad ass animals. When you really think about it, the battles in real life must look like what two lions appear to be when they battle it out

@bawnian-dexeus No doubt, but it'll make tons of money and likely start a franchise.... I actually miss the old movies, they had imagination which was more than enough for me at that age.
