    For some reason I have been on a kick where I have been watching live action based from anime. Movies or TV shows I don't care.

    Anyone know any good ones?

    Besides: (the ones I have seen)

    Death Note (of course)
    Tantei Gauken Q (Detective Academy Q)
    Nodame Cantabile
    Hana Yori Dango (Boys over Flowers)
    Sailor Moon
    Lovely Complex
    Prince of Tennis
    Transformers

    Hmmm... I could refer a few, there is GTO (Great Teacher Onizuka) Live action and Gokusen live action, they are pretty nice live action adaptations of animes with the same titles^^ Oh yeah, there is also this movie made by Jackie Chan based on an original Manga called City Hunters it's one funny stuff, especially the part where they did the Street Fighter bit. It's a riot! :D

    I love the Street Fighter part of City Hunters, it always makes drop down rollong on the floor laughing.

    Speaking of Street Fighters, there are also Street Fighter Movie adaptations, I have seen two versions of it, one was the American made where I think Jean-Claude Van damme played Guile and Raul Julia as M. Bison (Vega???) and the other Asian version, I think it was chinese (dunno it's been a long time since I watched so I might have forgotten some details).

    M. Bison was Raul Julia's last role before his death. Sad, but true. Kylie Minogue was Cammy in that movie. :D

    "Gokusen is about the rookie teacher Yamaguchi Kumiko who enters the toughest high school as her first assignment. But her special background helps her to deal with all problems in her own special way...

    This is a little similar to Great Teacher Onizuka, but with the tough Yankumi as the heroine. Lots of hilarious comedy and crazy moments."

    Essentially, Onizuka, but the teacher is female. :D

    I tried watching a bit of the Cutey Honey Live Action. Looked okay, couldn't really stand Cutey Kisaragi's high-pitched voice. I guess I need things animated if someone will try to act that cute. =P

    I have yet to see Prince of Tennis in live action...anywhere I can obtain?

    I have checked out Nodame Cantabile and Hana Kimi so far from them. And Death Note before it was licensed. I am not sure which ones are based from Anime or Manga.

    It has been my latest obsession.

    I got to check out Gokusen.

    I am such a fan of Jun Matsumoto now. He is in the music group Arashi. He was also Tsukasa Domyouji in Hana Yori Dango LA. His group also did a song for it.

    I haven't noticed you mentioned Hell Girl, I learned that there is a Hell Girl live action, not sure if it's a lot better than the anime version.
