I've already seen an...Utena Musical!*shudders*

They just had the first episode..but it was horrible!

Heres a desicripsoin-

It starts out with Utena singing about her prince and how she will become one...she has one strand of pink hair that appears cliped on. The females school uniforms suck, they wouldn't be so bad if they just fixed the ties...Wakaba, and Anthy were costumed and there hair fit perfectly, the student coucil sucked,and the spinning castle was just a bunch of christmas lights.Utena's clothse tranformed in the first duel, and when Sainonji slaps Anthy he doesn't even come close to her face.Dios has plastic hair, and the duel was the worst, Utena still had a wooden sword but it still sounded as if two metal swords when hit..

Point is that no anime should ever be put into a real musical or movie.

I think Trigun is the only series that could be pulled off live action.

Hell yeah, I'd pay to see a live action Trigun movie.

Actually, there is a Sailor Moon musical as well. And along the same note, for a while, Disney here in USA was planning on making a live-action Sailor Moon movie for release here in the states. Glenn Close had even expressed interest in playing Queen Beryl. The project fell through, though, for whatever reason.

A Trigun movie? I'd camp out in Hollywood for half a year waiting for the premiere of that one. Otherwise, tv series and OAVs wouldn't generally make a good conversion to a movie, but anime movies to live action movies might not be so bad. An Akira remake, anyone?

And let's not forget that they've also already made a live action Wicked City, The Guyver, Dog of Flanders, Uzumaki, Sanctuary, and are planning one for Ninja Scroll.

I have a feeling both Trigun, and I may get flamed for this

....Cowboy Bebop could be done right....only if it was done by someone who knows the series well here in the states and is a striaght up purist bastard about keeping it real.

A DBZ movie is just too stupid, but whose to say

If a fan of the show made a script to the exact, or just about exact premise of the manga or anime, then it may work, and I think in the case of Trigun maybe, and most definately Bebop, sequels, like star wars before it got really messed up, break it down into two hour episodes. That's how i see Cowboy Bebop, like a minimum of 3 to 5 movies or sessions to tell the story right.

Ah My Goddess you can do in like 1, and Golden Boy, that would be interesting to see. Well, just my thoughts on it
