Animes into movies always ends spectacularly shitty. I say none and keep it that way.

Agreed

Though I must say I loved the way the second live action Death Note ended, I wish that was how the anime/manga ended, I love whoever wrote the live action ending <3

An anime as a cool show?.. Berserk. Seeing hoe Beowulf was done nicely with facial-mold and likeness obsdessed CGI, I think a Berserk Movie could capitalize on its epic following and manga audience as well as those wanting to see the glorious 300 Stomping bloodbath sure to be present

I don't know about berserk, I don't see a live action fitting well with it. If it were to fit well then the actor would have to look natural with a sword and have the look that he has a lot of strength to match the size of the sword. Not to mention they will most likely dull the story down or leave out a bunch of parts, kind of like the anime.

The only things that should ever be made live action are really good shojo animes into j/k drama.

None.  There are things that can be done in anime that just can't be replicated in live action. Not without looking cheesy anyway. There's always CGI but that's not live action. It's just my opinion but I believe cartoons and anime should be left as cartoons and anime and should only be made into full length animated features if anything.

 

Another reason I believe anime/manga shouldn't be brought to the big screen is that the film industry a real talent for slaughtering comic, cartoon, anime and manga adaptations (with exceptions of course). I know this has been said countless times but look at Dragonball Evolution. Anybody could tell that movie was just a quick marketing hook so 20th Century Fox could make some money. They used the title to draw people in and knew that they didn't have to attempt to make it a good movie. They knew that fans would spend money on the movie just to see if it sucked or not so they didn't bother making it something people would enjoy. Such exploitation is just perverse but it's commonplace in the film industry. Just look at all remakes and sequels they're still doing. 

 

Anyway, that's just my opinion and sorry for ranting.

Well Samurai X is getting a live action don't remember if it came out already but it looks  good.

As for shows I want turn live action hmmm Eden Of The East. That intense suspense kept me on my seat the whole time and I can actually see it being a good movie. There have been some good live action anime movies like the live action Beck, I really enjoyed that one.

Cowboy Bebop and Outlaw Star might work if done correctly of course.

Think Macross and Gundam Wing might be good live movie adaptations.

I have Bipolar II, otherwise defined as a Sonic personality and couldn't care less what other people think of me. Also I have two sides to me, good and what lurks inside me is pure evil (devil gene and the mark of Orion, on my forehead).

I can see how Robotech Macross and Gundam WIng can be live action. I mean a better script can be made in Gundam WIng based on the storylines of the show.
