Live Action Anime Adaptations

When an anime has been around for a while, that's usually a good thing. Its widely popular and fans will buy anything related to it. That is until a live action adaptation is made. Then everything goes right down the toilet. But what's worst then an live action adaptation? An American live action adaptation.

One anime recently made the jump to the big screen and reviewers and fan boys alike have already concluded that the movie is a failure. Though, I haven't seen it yet to make my own opinion.


This live adaptation is not the end for there are talks of an American adaptation of one of my most beloved series: Full Metal Panic!

A great show with plenty of action and slapstick comedy with plenty of material to make a decent movie but if things continue as they have, I'm not gonna have high hopes. It doesn't look too good as teenage heartthrob Zac Efron (High School Musical) is supposedly involved with the project.



Can you picture Zac Efron as Sergeant Sousuke Sagara? (Sigh... :/)

Well, only time will tell and even if the movie is going to bomb, it won't deter me from remaining as a fan. So, when is the next season coming out?
