Animanga & Games Live Action Movies & Series

Mostly based on anime/manga or manhwa/webtoons, but also some games. I didn't necessarily liked all of these adaptations, I'm just adding all the ones I've watched.

  • Tonde Saitama

    1. Tonde Saitama

    Japanese Movie - 2019

    10

    This is the best movie ever made.

  • Ichi the Killer

    2. Ichi the Killer

    Japanese Movie - 2001

    9.5

    I enjoyed this movie a LOT and mostly thanks to Kakihara. What a cool character! So I'm not interested in reading the manga at all bc manga Kakihara is ugly and doesn't look cool. 

  • Love and Leashes

    3. Love and Leashes

    Korean Movie - 2022

    10

    I enjoyed this more than the webtoon. The female mc has a stronger and more dominant personality and we get to see actually sexy (albeit not explicit) scenes.

  • Lychee Light Club

    4. Lychee Light Club

    Japanese Movie - 2016

    9.0

    I think my only complaint about this adaptation is that Zera's actor has more androgynous/delicate features than Jaibo's and that's kinda wrong for their characters.

  • Jojo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable

    This was a good movie adaptation. I wish it had a sequel bc I'd like to see what excuse they'd create for the fact that [spoiler] Kira killed Keicho. I mean, Kira never attacks unprovoked.

  • Cutie Honey

    6. Cutie Honey

    Japanese Movie - 2004

    9.0

    My first contact with Cutie Honey and still my favorite piece of media in the franchise. Tokusatsu vibes mixed with mahou shoujo vibes. Art.

  • Cutie Honey: Tears

    7. Cutie Honey: Tears

    Japanese Movie - 2016

    4.0

    This is just BAD. I don't get how they thought taking Cutie Honey seriously was a good idea.

  • The Disastrous Life of Saiki K

    8. The Disastrous Life of Saiki K

    Japanese Movie - 2017

    7.0

    Decent, but not as funny as the anime or the manga.

  • Bleach

    9. Bleach

    Japanese Movie - 2018

  • Ace Attorney

    10. Ace Attorney

    Japanese Movie - 2012

    So over the top, very enjoyable. Not nearly as good as the game tho, obviously.

  • Fullmetal Alchemist 1

    11. Fullmetal Alchemist 1

    Japanese Movie - 2017

    There was an attempt but it failed. 

  • Shrill Cries of Summer

    12. Shrill Cries of Summer

    Japanese Movie - 2008

    6.0

    Well adapted but the cast was awful. There was like, 1 or 2 good actors in it. I'malso confused as to way they choose to have Mion with short hair and Rena with long hair.

  • Shrill Cries – Reshuffle

    13. Shrill Cries – Reshuffle

    Japanese Movie - 2009

    7.0
  • Nana

    14. Nana

    Japanese Movie - 2005

    8.5

    It's good. I understand that people feel bad that the side stories (the other characters) didn't have any screen time but c'mon, it's only one movie, they needed to focus on the main characters and story.

  • Nana 2

    15. Nana 2

    Japanese Movie - 2006

    7.5

    Good, but not as good as the previous movie.

  • Gintama

    23. Gintama

    Japanese Movie - 2017

    5.0

    How DARE them exclude my beloved Bansai from a movie that has such focus on my beloved Kiheitai. Also, the actor who plays Takasugi is ugly and I don't like that.

  • Gintama 2: Rules Are Meant to Be Broken

    24. Gintama 2: Rules Are Meant to Be Broken

    Japanese Movie - 2018

    Much better than the first. Bansai is here this time and damn he's HOT. Sadly Takasugi is still ugly.

    Decent but didn't make me cry a river like the original anime.

  • M.W.

    27. M.W.

    Japanese Movie - 2009

    Excluding the grooming and the "romance" from this adaptation was such a COWARD move.

    I cried a river.

  • Young Black Jack

    31. Young Black Jack

    Japanese Special - 2011, 1 episode

    1.5

    [Spoiler] They turned Kiriko evil in the end and this is the most bullshit thing ever.

  • Corpse Party

    32. Corpse Party

    Japanese Movie - 2015

    1.0

    This is so damn BORING. The original game, and even the manga that adapted it, or even the anime OVAs, are so much better than this. The whole atmosphere here is boring and not scary/creepy at all. The OST is terrible (which is a sin considering how cool the original Corpse Party OST is). It lacked the gore, the corpses around the school, the eerieness, the dark atmosphere, the blood, the disturbing events, etc... This movie is trash.

  • Ranma 1/2

    I remember hating the manga so I'm impressed at how much I enjoyed the movie. Takashi Miike did a great job here.

  • Lesson of the Evil

    Very interesting, one of my favorite movies by Takashi Miike.

  • Old Boy

    36. Old Boy

    Korean Movie - 2003

    9.5

    A rare case of a live action movie being MUCH better than it's original manga. I honestly can opicture Park Wook-Chan reading the manga, creating all kinds of cool theories in his mind, and then getting utterly frustrated when reaching that BULLSHIT revelation in the end. Dude really fixed the story with his movie.

  • Rurouni Kenshin

    Very cool CGI scenes, felt like watching PS2 game cutscenes. Also, the fact that the actors who play Ryo and Akira are twins irl is weird af considering Ryo is canonically in love with Akira.

    Japanese Movie - 2022

    Honestly very confusing. I've read the manga and still had a lot of trouble following what the hell was happening here, I imagine that if this is your first contact with the franchise you won't understand sh*t.

  • xxxHolic

    More serious and has a more eerie atmosphere than the manga/anime, but very interesting and fun.

  • Kishibe Rohan wa Ugokanai

    59. Kishibe Rohan wa Ugokanai

    Japanese Drama - 2020, 3 episodes

    Takahashi Issey does such an INCREDIBLE job portraying Rohan, he surpassed all my expectations. I was very skeptical at first but in the end I was very pleasantly surprised. I love this series.

    Very good. I had only watched the anime OVAs that tell the beginning of the story before and I hadn't liked them so I postponed watching this drama. Turns out the drama's beginning was better adapted and I enjoyed what came afterwards much more anyway.

    Funny af, really fun cast, but the love triangle was annoying bc since the beginning I knew Mizuki wouldn't be with the best boy.

    I might take a look at the manga eventually.

    A very well-done adaptation but somehow it wasn't as enjoyable to watch it as it was to read (and re-read) the manga.
