Should more animes be turned into Live Action Movies?

I think the question should be not whether they should be turned to film, but how they should be turned into film. I'd have nothing against live action adaptations if they didn't try to butcher the story every other time

I'm just sayin' it'd be funny to see someone actually attempt to do it. Chances that it would be good are slim, but it would still be interesting to watch.

Well, I'd certainly get a laugh out of anyone trying to act out certain slapstick humor.

Indeed, much anime comedy IS unadaptable.

But the more action/drama oriented stuff - that's closer.

Maybe...but the crappy movies that have been comin' out lately make me wonder if it's even possible.

I dont think the media is that important. Yes it is what defines a story as anime, but it is still a story.

If done correctly i think it would be great turning some animes into LA movies. I highly doubt the creators themselves would mind that it was animated, as long as their story was being told. Who knows, it could help more then harm in my opinion.

I would like to see it just b/c it would show that a more "mainstream" audiens would get to see some of the stories in a way that fits inside the little boxes they concider to be their lives.

Sorries, I guess I was misinformed on that one, but I know that The Matrix was based off of a manga.
