Besides Edge of Tomorrow-----which was awesome-----I can't think of any examples.
Maybe the GitS movie will be good?
Cromartie High School
Rurouni Kenshin? Death Note movies?
Many manga get adapted into Drama's and they are often better then the source material.
I've only seen the first Rurouni Kenshin movie and it was nice besides a few things
The Usagi Drop movie was pretty decent too
>>142862244
As far as cheesy horror movies go, I remember Spiral having a good movie adaptation.
I never watched it, but I heard the Phoenix Wright one was nice.
Was a decent movie.
>>142862110
Edge of Tomorrow was complete shit.
If you watch as comedy, it was a funny movie.
A couple of the Golgo13 films are alright.
Assignment Kowloon is good, even.
>>142862853
no it wasnt you retardrewatched it for the third time yesterday
>>142862971
What kind of film do you usually enjoy?
>>142862110
As much as I like edge of tomorrow the ending is always confusing.

It's not based off a manga or anything, but has anyone seen pic related? It's pretty fun.
>>142863206
The ending is confusing because Hollywood twisted the plot to have a good ending. The novel had 'True End'.
>>142862110
>Maybe the GitS movie will be good?
the Matrix is the best GitS live action adaptation
Battle Royale was very good ofc.
Personally liked Ichi adaptation (even though manga is better) and Kamisama no iutoori wasn't half bad (till second half happened).
>>142863316
I'll be reading that soon then.
>>142863206
Which one? Cause book pretty much explains everything.
Also, novel!Rita>movie!Rita but that's personal preference mostly.
>>142862330
Higurashi, thou I am not fan of the series/games.
>>142862853
It was nice adaptation up until finale. I understand why they went for original ending but final brawl from source material would be so much better visually. Not to mention emotional, heh, impact.
A 6/10 experience. And I was disappointed by the ending.
>>142863540
For compressed experience true to the source plus really cute Rita, manga is also a alternative. Hell, read manga anyway.
>>142863811
>A 6/10 experience
It was below average.
It was 3/10 at best.
>>142863316
I saw people saying that the novel had a diabolus ex machina ending where people had to die for bullshit reasons.
>>142863846
>3/10
Yeah, anon. Not on this side of Milky Way
>>142863881
5/10 is average.
4/10 is slightly below average
3/10 is significantly below average
1-2/10 is complete shit.
>>142863902
How do you even survive with such a shit taste?
Rhetorical question.
>>142863811
>It was nice adaptation up until finale
It really looked like the very ending was changed after a tested screening. Like the audience would have preferred he keep the god-like powers.
>>142863951
How is it good?
It's a boring action flick by a hack director.
The guy made Jumper, for god's sake.
>>142863864
No. Only two named characters died in the end, war might be ended but for the first time humanity isn't totally screwed and Keiji becomes badass without loop powers.
It is a good ending, not a 'good ending', as in VNs.
>>142863951
Are you a game journalist or critic?
Anon above posted simple scale. What taste has to do with it?
>>142864236
Well, As bad as Jumper was, first half of the movie was enjoyable. And even latter had moments. London bus for example.
Anon, both Edge and Jumper were summer action movies. You can't expect greatness from summer action movies. In that frame, both were solid entertaiment with interesting premise. 6/10 is, for me, point were I will buy movie if I find it in bargain bin.
>>142862110
The reason Edge of Tomorrow was good, relatively speaking, is that it didn't try to be a live action adaptation of an anime - instead it took the core conceits and characters and ran with them. Think how much stuff was sliced away so that it could become a good movie? You'd see the same thing in a good Attack on Titan movie, for example.
>>142864896
>sliced away
most of Farrel's character and whole of Rachel?
Ok, Shasta. But that was pure fanservice anyway.
the way mimic network worked was tweaked a bit so it would work nicer with new ending.
Also, axe. Edge axe was somewhat disappointing.

Edge of Tomorrow was great. Really splendid action film- for 80% of its duration.
The first 10% and last 10% were utter rubbish, unfortunately.
>>142865162
Very poor. VERY POOR. In Germany it was described as -7,5, so extremely short sighted.
>>142865173

Funny thing about jackets thou- backpacks and rifles are pretty much identical.
>>142863811
Really? The Higurashi movie? Because I'm a fan and it looks absolutely dreadful.
>>142862971
i liked it too, it's a fun movie
especially the first half
>>142865425
It was another take on same story - as this it was interesting at did a good job condensing basic story into movie format. As it is impossible to cram whole Higurashi into a movie format, it was a bad adaptation for fans. >>142865173
I was missing this scene in particular.
>>142862110
Great Teacher Onizuka. Both versions.
I haven't read the source, but when I saw Edge of Tomorrow I was getting total MLA vibes.
>>142862110
Has no one really mentioned Park's Old Boy?
>>142865424
I think I can understand why they changed the mechs to being the exoskellies.
They wanted to be able to see the characters faces at all times, but didn't want to have the mech be without a helmet because it'd look silly in a serious movie.
Also, it's probably easier than a full body suit/CG
Riki-Oh:Story of Ricky[sic] was perfectly aparopriately ludicrous given its source material

Yep.
>>142865595
CG suits would look artificial without serious budget bump. I don't mind this choice in particular, it actually served to show just how fucked infantry is even better. I only miss axe action.
>>142865610
We forgot.
how did you already forget about the only good one?
I'm pretty sure there's no anime of Edge Of Tomorrow's source material.
I like the movie, though. Don't know if I had read the LN before would change my opinion for the movie in any way.
>>142862110
Initial D.
>>142865708
Only novel and manga. It's good to thing of both adaptations as alternative timelines. Most fans of Kill were enraged that movie wasn't point by point visualisation of novel. Me, I only miss omitted parts.
>>142865595
Ok. And Rachel. I miss Rachel.
>>142862971
It's an enjoyable movie, but they butchered the story thematically and the final result has a lot of holes that really detract from it. The story breaks down when you start to put in some thought. It's a good hollywood movie, but a terrible adaptation.Does the Omega know when the day resets? Can it remember the previous 'day'? If so, why does it make the mimics do the same thing every time? If not, how did it 'find' tom cruise? If it didn't 'find' him immediately day 1 and it can't remember through the reset, it would never be able to find him. If it can remember through the reset, why was it doing the same thing every time, being 100% predictable, and letting tom cruise get through everything to kill it?
>>142865698
The movie visual style felt anime like.
Are there actually more superior film adaptations than there are shitty ones?
Wouldn't surprise me, seeing as most mangakas have no idea how to write or where to go with their story beyond the wacky premise they sold to their publisher.
>>142866048
Hollywood sacrifices artistic integrity for financially safer formulaic bullshit. So, no.
>>142862110
Edge of Tomorrow is absolute dogshit if you take it as an adaptation, for many reasons. Now, if you take ir as a stand alone, then you can say its alright.
>>142865111
Power armor movement was a bigger disappointment than BATTLE AXE MISSING.
The only thing saving Edge of Tomorrow is that at the least it took the core concepts of the movie(ground hog day + alien bug invasion + stranger to the loop) and did deliver on them. Giving it a actual ending, was also sorta of nice.
Besides Hollywood and Japanese live action movie adaptations, we had HK with Rikioh and South Korea with Old Boy, any other countries made live action movies of anime?
>>142866048
That's the problem - anime scripts really work when placed into animated medium. Mostly what
>>142866102
said but also technical difficulties of portraying visual part on a screen in a way that would please audience in the west. Edge of tomorrow is example of that. Again, this anon is right >>142866133 - thou it is debatable if this is a bad thing in itself.
Anybody watch the Joker Game movie? How is it?
>>142866208
>said but also technical difficulties of portraying visual part on a screen in a way that would please audience in the west
Not really. In a lot of cases, mangakas have enough understanding of screen space to do most of the ground work.
Which is why its always a shame when a Anime completely misses the point, because its a weekly rushed thing.
Also Hollywood is only scared of fight scenes for melee, since they are really bad at it, and the general direction is really poor.
Crows Zero
>>142864678
Jumper would have been better if they played up the theocratic order trying to hunt the protagonist down. Maybe emphasize how and why Jumpers are viewed as superhuman abominations beyond a handful of lines about how they defy the will of God. Kind of like how Trask & the world powers in X-Men DoFP/First Class viewed mutants as an abomination and a long term threat to humanity's survival-----but perhaps from a more ideological/theocratic standpoint. Idk.
Still, both Jumper and Edge of Tomorrow were fun & relatively successful Summer action movies.
>>142865246
I didn't have a problem with the ending-----it felt cathartic.
The intro I get as it needed to establish Cruise's initial coward/smug personality. But I think a minute or two of him pissing about in the base for the first time could have definitely been chopped off.
Plus, Emily Blunt was fantastic.

Considering the bullshit hate it's already getting from sjws I have a feeling it's gonna get ripped no matter how good or bad it turns out to be. Edge of Tomorrow was great though, kept the good shit but knew it couldn't force the whole story into 1 movie. I thought it was great and it's got 90% on rotten tomatoes so some people must agree.
Riki Oh obviously

I find it funny that the Japs don't give a shit that a white actress was cast.

>Most fans of Kill were enraged that movie wasn't point by point visualization of novel.
Many fans of anything written that gets a visual media adaptation throw that fit. It's really silly. People in general don't seem to understand that being 1:1 just isn't possible for most adapations; they have to hold a new audiences attention constantly in a much shorter timeframe, stuff like monologues doesn't transfer well, etc.
I have seen some adaptations that hew fairly closely to the source, but then it becomes pointless to consume both. FMA the manga and FMA: Brotherhood, for example. There's no difference between my opinion of the two, because they're almost the same fucking thing.
>>142862110
I Am a Hero
>>142867146
The movie is pretty explicit; Jumpers are a violation of gods law, therefore Jumpers must die. That's a pretty solid motivation - and curiously, the movie doesn't do much to disagree. Both Jumpers are amoral pricks, who even aside from thieving are terrible to most everyone they meet. One deciding to save the girl he wants to bone doesn't change that.
It's also bad for relating to reality. I wonder why they didn't keep the terrorist bashing plot of the original book? It didn't have to be hijackings any more, they just could have had him start grabbing assholes from compounds some rando friend in the CIA tells him about.
>>142865595
I think it was because Exoskeletons are a current military project that will probably enter service within a few decades. So it's more 'realistic' than a full-body power armour system.
>>142862110
Gyakuten Syaiban
I liked it.
>>142865246
I really enjoyed the manga but have yet to watch the movie. Is it still good without the axe?
The Final Countdown wasn't based on an anime but it's basically the US version of Zipang.And is fucking awesome
Old boy and Lady Snowblood, you fucking plebs. Yatterman was very good as well.
>>142863316
All adaptions had different endings
Manga was slightly closer but not so much to the novel
>>142873609
Agreed. Good western example would be Dresden tv series.
>>142874015
There were 'heavy' variants in movies and Rita's squadmates did have uparmored versions. I stand by my theory of showing of how infantry is fucked, especially with mimics being very deadly in movies as much as in novel, if not worse.
>>142878981
Finals time, forgot. Thanks anon.
>>142879098
Manga, at least scanlations, use direct copy of dialogs from book and if cuts few things here and there it pretty much includes whole story - part that was mostly altered is Rita's backstory.
Did anyone watch the ImoCho movie?
Kaiji.
Death Note was the absolute worst.
Cromartie and Assasination Classroom felt completely off.
Detroit Metal City would have been a better film if made by a more competent film maker. Not risky enough. Not nearly as madcap as the manga or OVA.
21st Century Boys is probably better than the manga. The first one is great, the second is incredibly accurate and the ending makes a bit more sense in the third one.
Gantz is pretty great. The things they changed for the movie are excellent and the first couple of arcs work much better. I haven't seen the second one but it looks way off base.
Parasyte was probably the best in recent memory even if it wasn't a 1 to 1 adaptation and the ending to part 2 was a little off.
Princess Jellyfish was also really good.
Library Wars
Ouroboros (Drama not movie)
Lupin The Third
There's also a ton of josei and seinen manga adaptations that aren't bad.
>>142862110
Park's Oldboy is hands down the best live action movie based on a manga.

In what way is Jumpers a violation of Gods law? They never explain the angle, so it comes off as idiot ball just to have some form of action going on.
>>142882512
This one right here. I haven't seen the American version but the Korean was very good.

Yamada-kun live action >>>>>> Yamada-kun anime.
I enjoyed Hentai Kamen too. And even though there's no anime version, the 20th Century Boys live action is pretty damn good. And while the Patlabor live action is definitely no better than the animu, specially the OVAs and movies, it's still pretty solid.
>>142862110
