JDramas Based on Manga or Anime

I know of one. ToHeart in drama is so different from its animes series.

I believe the anime and drama of To Heart are not related. They just share the same name. As far as I know, there isn't a manga source for either of them (although I *think* the anime is based off a computer game...or vice versa...)

salaryman kintaro is a good one, although I think the manga is better than the dorama.............

Yup, that's right. The anime To Heart and the dorama To Heart have no connection whatsoever. And yes, you're also right that the anime is based off a game.

Some while ago, I heard that the manga series Azumanga Daioh was being made into a drama. Even saw some photos of the actresses doing the character. Haven't heard anything about it since, though...

Hey eu tbm sou do Brasil!!! E aí blz?

Well... let me change the language.

GTO was my first dorama too, and it's simply great.
You can try downloading Your Under Arrest, it's based on manga too, and it's avaible at Sharereactor.com.

You can try renting a tape at the japanese town, you know Liberdade lol, they have some recent TV programations in VHS, but in this case you will need to understand japanese... That's why I prefer downloading, because of the subtitles.

Kindaichi Shonen no Jinkembo, Satorare, Shomuni, O Shigoto Desu, and Sky High were based on manga too I believe. I think Asunaro Hakusho was also based on a manga, but not 100% sure.

*bump*

Im currently watching 'Boku to Kanojo no XXX' episode 1.. promising so far..
a different kind of high school story

shun shioya :inlove:

What an old thread, but I'll bite.

Koi no Kiseki is based off a manga. I wish I could find that drama series because the manga is really screwed up.

Hotaru no Hikari is another one that was originally a manga.

Nodame Cantabile.

But I guess everybody and their mother knows that.

'cept my mom. :beaten:

Most shows these days are based on anime or manga....that's been the case for years already.

Yup.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Love_Letter[/list:u]And while I'm here, Hotman and Sexy Voice and Robo both started life as mangas as well. [/list:u]

LIFE, Hana-kimi, akihabara@deep, Liar Game, Absolute Boyfriend. I enjoyed most of them. :]

What do you think of the acting in JDoramas that are based on manga and anime? I find that the actors are somewhat unnaturally stiff, especially the ones in their 20s. In anime characters don't move much, they can be as still as a statue, which is acceptable in that media format, but it just looks weird when real people act like this.

I also find that some people who read a lot of manga or watch a lot of anime act like this in real life.

There's already a discussion thread for this subject here: http://jdorama.com/viewtopic.3828.htm

Merging.

That thread is somewhat similar but I'm talking about the acting aspect of these dramas, and that's not what that thread is about.

Well you're talking about the acting in a JDrama that's based on a manga/anime and this thread does encompass that discussion.
