That's precisely why it'd be great live action. That would be going far beyond the impossible, and if it could be pulled off... well... I'd like to think that world peace would ensue.philosophicalbastard said:

But what if its just another Transformers movie? An excuse to have explosions, but no real plot to represent what made the anime epic?CarpathianMuffin said:
The reason I say Ghost in a Shell is because it is actually possible, plus if the original writers came up with a script, I could see something to rival the Bourne movie series. Garran Lagann would be an expensive investment, with no guarantee of being as superb as the anime was.
Look at the DBZ movie for example, what a pile of.....
Just started watching Baccano and even though I'm only on episode 2, thus my knowledge on the show is lacking. It does look like it would make a really good film. Provided it's done right of course.
Also Clannad would make a really good drama and if it ever does happen and the film makes me cry like the anime did, then it has done its job.
Finally as a third idea, Eden of the East, I loved that show, and I can definitely see that it has potential for a good film.

Why did I get ninja'd so quickly usually it's awhile before anyone mentions these animesbut yeah these are my answers and baccano! would be pretty easy anime to adapt into live action but black lagoon would be easierknight of some random number said:
Apparently they're planning a live action Evangelion. I am not impressed.
I'd like to see Kuroshitsuji made into a movie (maybe tone down the fanservice a bit
) - it'd be nice and dark.

None, Anime should stay anime and never cross into the realm of live action. It just loses all the charm and character that a good anime can establish. Not to mention some of the best animes do have some bizarre concepts, settings, and whatnot, and converting it to live action would just destroy it.
Part of the fun is the style and feel of it, live action just doesn't do it any justice.

oddly enough i recently saw part of the cowboy bebop movie recently on TV. I never watched the anime but that 15 minutes of bebop made me want to.emeraldrafael said:
Dragon Ba-- ...Oh yeah.
I can't think of any. I can't see how the general style of an anime could traverse the realm of live action. Go watch CollegeHumour's Anime Guy(?) video to see how the facial expression would transfer over... ...Actually, don't.
Why do I always see so much disliking of the Keanu Reevinator? Keanu is my father's favorite actor, and I don't mind him, he's not bad.Soviet Heavy said:

Turning anime into live action films or series' only creates a travesty; as interesting an idea as it may seem to change a work's medium, the results are never as good as the original.
Also, I'm struggling to prevent myself from going grammar nazi on the OP's post.

personally id like to see either a Gundam movie, a good one thats stays true to the anime (by that i mean the gundam wing anime), or a Code Geass live action. itd be a little weird but if executed properly it would be epic
The great problem with anime turned into live-action via new hollywood (think Jon Favreau and J.J. Abrams) that I see is it would require way, way too much exposition because their worlds are just into insane (it comes with that whole "made in Japan" thing as we all know) and the only way to delay and cut up exposition into relatively chewable bite-size chunks requires an intuitive world as seen by Joseph Cambell (i.e. a trio of main characters which equates to the 'chosen one' , the self-made man, and the charitable, independent noblewoman.) where you get an idea of the adventure to come vary quickly like the original Star Wars trilogy (episodes IV,V,VI). But I think with the right budget a Gundam movie could be a successful summer block-buster. But that would still be hell to fill seats in American theaters. I also think that Keanu could be decent Spike in a live-action Cowboy Bebop after seeing him non-chalantly fight with unique weapons in Constantine.
