the more i watch of the anime...the more i am convinced there should be a live action Eyeshield 21 ^_^

there are already a bunch of live action sport dramas...why not a football one?? i'l love to see it!

that or Slam Dunk...was there a live action Slam Dunk? why do they turn sports animes that i can't stand into live action shows, but not ones that would actually be frikkin fun to watch?

Have not read or seen both Eyeshield 21 and Slam Dunk.....gotta check it out :mrgreen:

Is Slam Dunk anything like REbound??? if so, I think it has great potential to be a good drama to watch

haven't seen rebound, so i can't tell you how close it is....i'll look around for Rebound and let you know

slam dunk isn't for the weak of heart...there are over 100 episodes and 4? movies (i'm probably remembering wrong)...but they are up at boxtorrents, i believe... its a great show tho ^_^

Eyeshield 21 is pretty new, you can find fansubs of it on Animesuki...its up to episode 11 subbed now... i rewatch them all the time. the characters are so much fun! i'd love to see them translated into live action people ^_^ i know some people i would cast, but they are way too old to play first year highschoolers...i'd just cast them because i think they are funny ^_^

this is my guess if they do make fruits basket a live action drama based on the actors

Tohru Honda=Nakama Yukie
Shigure Sohma=Sorimachi Takashi=the dog
Yuki Sohma=Yamashita Tomohisa=the rat
Kyo Sohma=Tsukamoto Takashi=the cat
Kagura Sohma=Yui Ichikawa=the boar (even though she's the tiger in the zodiac)
Momiji Sohma=the rabbit
Ritsu Sohma=the monkey
Ayame Sohma=the snake
Hatori Sohma=Kaneshiro Takeshi=the dragon
Hatsuharu Sohma=Yamazaki Yuta=the cow
Hiro Sohma=Kamiki Ryunosuke=the ram
Kisa Sohma=Miyama Karen=the tiger
Hanajima=
Arisa or Uo-chan=

the other 2 members that were never shown in the anime were Kureno Sohma and Isuzu Sohma which is the the Rooster and the Horse


:crazy: hmmm seems like i already ran out of ideas so just quote this and post the actors or actresses u want besides those names it's alright if u change it


Since you dont mind some cast adaptation.

Id say:
Tohru should be played by Eiri Fukatsu, she has that special sweet yet awkward quality.
Shigure played by Shinna Keppei :hehe:
Yuki played by Matsumoto Jun even if he isnt quite pretty enough
Kyo played by Hideaki Takeshi
Akira played by Fujiki Naohito (seems like the guys from Antique are making a strong appearance)
Hanajima(her psychic girl pal) Esumi Makiko
Uo-chan(her gang member girl pal) Yonekura Ryoko
Hatori-Yutaka Takenouchi

Will add others as the come to me! :mrgreen:

I CAN NOT BELIEVE you havent seen SLAM DUNK!!

It is an absolute must.

I listed it too as a good anime for turning into a drama.

But it would be hard to beat the anime.

It is SUGOI!!

i don't think Slam Dunk is too good to turn into a live action...actually, its one of the few animes that could successfully be turned into a live action show!

think about it...it doesn't require tons of special effects, its very character driven...its got lots of action!

it wouldn't be exactly like the anime or manga (thank goodness...because i can't stand shows that are exact replicas of the original material)..but there is a lot you can do with the characters!

it would be a lot less cheesy looking than a live action EVA or Fruits Basket would be...special effects aren't the forte of japanese drama shows...

I personally think Hellsing is gonna be a great live act. And doable. The technology used in making Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel can be used in Hellsing. Ofcourse with added gore and enhanced special effects for Alucard's supernatural power. I'm sure it will be successful know there are many vampire lovers out there.

who have watched Initial D live action? just wanna know how was it, coz all movie reviews i seen before they show the movie is about their comments with Jay Chou's and not a comparision of the manga / anime and movie itself. hmm.... me wanna watch live action of evangelion or Kanon or Candy Candy or even Love Hina ? :mrgreen: cant think of any at the moment since I saw lots of the dorama nowaday are live action anyway. errr if they make Fruit Basket into live action, just imagine what they should train unless they are going to get some artificial or computerize substitute ) a cat, a rat, a cow, a tiger, a monkey, a snake, a horse, a sheep, a monkey, a dog, a pig... good thing they wont be needing a big dragon just a sea horse or something? .

I see. I thought it was supposed to be Alucard since he is using his former master's name backwards which happens to be Dracula. Well anyway, thanks for correcting me.

And what about School Rumble? It would be a Mega-Hit, not? :mrgreen:

no problem and i do say,Hellsing is one of my favorite animes :mrgreen:
oh yeah,on the last episode,when he was reborn,i just knew that he was Dracula's Son lol but i watched it a long time ago

Correction:actiually you were right on alucard but the dvd i have says "Avocard" which is really confusing

yes school rubmle is just hilarious, but i don't think that humans would be able to bring in the same fun as the anime characters! btw who should play kurusaki-kun? Nobody comes to my mind that is as.....WIERD as him
13 Jul 2005, 21:46 #159
