ramario xolo ramirez was the actor for Blue Beetle and Cobra Kai.
Isn't Hello Fresh anti-union?
"And if your resolution is to eat a healthy breakfast every morning, well... FUCK!" ~Lanipator 2024
Well I'm sold.
Best thing about DB Evolution is James Marsters, the actor of Piccolo, reading the manga to know what he's getting into, getting hella into it and would later become the VA for Zamasu
become the VA for Zamasu.. FOR FREE (because it wasn't union so he couldn't officially work for it)
(Green man joke)
That movie had me think if Goku,Vegeta, and Gohan still had there tails in the anime what would happen to them in a eclipse would it unlocked something hidden
Also Rule which is a banger song
@@jakobmata7011Dude that sounds so cool. Like it’s a halfway transformation. Eclipse Ozaru.
In regards to Alita:
"That romance was probably better"
Would you believe that it was actually worse?
romance in alita only works if the guy stays away.
I'd be shocked otherwise
most importantly, the toxicity of their relationship comes across as actually intentional. the way they reinterpreted it to be more positive and generic was baffling.
Hugo sucks in every version. That’s not an adaptation problem, Hugo just sucks. 😂
@@pwnorbepwnedReally? Tell us the details.
The one positive thing about the live-action Fullmetal Alchemist movie: it was JUST good enough that I managed to convince my dad to watch Brotherhood. He doesn't like anime--hates the animation style wrt the extreme expressions and such, but the movie was juuuuuuuust enough to convince him, and Brotherhood was well-written enough to keep him hooked beyond his hang-ups.
that's really cool
Baller
I agree about Willam Dafoe - without CGI he still would've portrayed an amazing Ryuk
Its one of the things they realized with Spiderman, he was a better Green Goblin without the mask
@@CrownofMischief no way home
Having never seen the AOT live action movie, my jaw literally dropped when Lani said that they KILLED MIKASA IN PLACE OF EREN'S MOM.....
My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined. Real life was, indeed, a mistake.
ggs the whole planet i guess
I haven't seen the live action either but they did WHAT!!!!!
I'm not even that much into AoT in general, but what the ever-loving hell?!
Don't worry, she got better.
She doesn't die, she's presumed dead for the early part of AOT. What's weird is during the time she was believed to be dead, she was sleeping with Levi. Actually it's not Levi but his lame non-canon counterpart called Shikishima. At the time, them being related wasn't revealed yet in the source material. Also, Levi's knockoff is the Armor Titan.
The inclusion of Detective Pikachu makes me want to see you guys do a tier list of video games movies next. The amount of movie adaptations would probably be enough for a video double the length of this one at the very least.
Should they include Pixels tho?
@@minibotas9496 Nah, I think that is more a movie like Ready Player One. Or Wreck it Ralph. References aren't games.
I'd watch it xD the Tekken movie comes to mind
What about Tetris?
36:23 Chi Chi McRoberts, who could forget...
"SHUT UP MR. MCROBERTS!" - Lani, TFS Plays.
One thing I think you forgot about Chad's strength in Bleach was that at the start of the anime he couldn't see Hollows, but he was still absurdly strong. A steel girder falls on him and he shrugs it off. A motorcycle crashes into him and he walks to the Kurosaki clinic, I think to get help for the guy who crashed into him. He also managed to rip a power pole out of the ground and swing it at a Hollow he couldn't see.
literal chad.
Speed Racer is my go to Live-Action Anime Adapation. Genuinely loved it more than any Speed Racer episode.
Please Note: Netflix only produced American Death Note, Cowboy Bebop, & One Piece.
Bleach, Fullmetal Alchemist, Ruroni Kenshin, and all the others you see on there were only distributed by Netflix, they had nothing to do with the production.
Remember that Chad couldn't see spirit stuff for a while. The whole Rukia riding his back and pointing the way for him was great in the anime.
Yeah! I remember when she was trying to tell him where to punch and he kept punching air 😂
Yeah, he actually just is a beast even without any spirit energy.
Wasn't it Ichigo's little sister that did that? Cuz she had the opposite issue, soul sight, but no ability to fight.
@@IzzySarru She did it first at the soccer field. I was refering to the later fight with the dead little boy trapped in a birds body.
@@Raktus Ah, forgot that had a similar situation.
Should have made a new bottom tier for Last Airbender
"Existence is pain"
That would open the floodgate for the "IS ATLA ANIME" discussion.
@@AmericanBrit9834 ATLA was just... perfect. Western made with all the right Eastern inspirations❤
@@kevinoneil5120interesting that one of the other highly acclaimed animations series is its inverse, with Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood being Eastern made with Western influence
On the whole, "The Major is supposed to be asian" debate, even the creator has to remind people that her SHELL was built to look like a caucasian supermodel. So while the movie still honks, her casting was lore accurate.
Yup, honestly to me the casting was never the problem, hell she looks pretty damn close. It's how the story addressed it in the wrong way, and didn't even use it to go into the philosophical themes of the series. Only showed that any thinking was surface level at most
To be fair, Ichigo standing back up four times against Byakuya and then immediately getting stabbed in an incredibly long scene. In the manga this serves to show the contrast between the cold, ruthless nature of the Reapers and Ichigo’s fighting spirit.
I really gotta give respect to Gokus actor who read so much of the original Dragon Ball manga and even read Journey to the West as well to try and get a firm understanding of Goku and the story proper. I really appreciate the effort he still put in to try and be a decent Goku. Sadly wasn't a good result still though.
You can practice and prep all you want, but no amount of heart was saving a script like that.
He's even a pretty good actor. He's in a really good Doctor Who story. Shame he had no material to work with
@@Pokemonleafmonhe was also phenomenal in Shameless. In this show he has such better chemistry with Emmy Rossum (Bulma)
Lady Snowblood and Edge of Tomorrow were so good that people forget they were based off a manga
Oh never knew that
Technically Edge of Tomorrow was based on a novel. That novel also got a manga adaptation, but I can't remember if the production schedules line up enough for the manga to have inspired anything.
Never heard of Lady Snowblood, whats it about?
@@DracoInduperator It's about a woman trying to avenge her parents. If you've ever seen Kill Bill it's similar to that since Tarantino took a lot of inspiration from it.
Having read the All You Need Is Kill manga before seeing Edge of Tomorrow was a mistake. I hated that film so much.
As a GitS fan, I'm fine with Scar Jo playing the Major. There are numerous references in the other adaptions that her body type is either exotic, or straight up a foreign model. It also gets to the heart of series philosophy of "who are you really when you can can change your body/gender at any time. Your soul (actually called a Ghost in universe)stays the same, but the body (Shell) changes. It's what sets cyborgs apart from AI like in Innocence or SAC.
Sadly it never commits to the headiness of the concept because it's selling itself to all audiences, and the idea that they don't want the concept to mess around with potential sequels with the character. Not to mention the idea of changing a person into someone else like that would be a far more interesting idea to chew on if it wasn't obvious that it's being used to justify Scar Jo's casting more than anything. And all that effort to find herself and who she was and then she just decides "Nah, I don't care anymore. I am who I am now." in the most rushed way possible.
@@motherplayer oh I agree. I think the best head trip in GitS regarding the body swapping was in GitS:SAC-S3. I wish we saw the Major meeting her mother, and actually behaving like a Japanese person would. I'm talking the physical social ticks. That would have sold it better that her ghost was speaking to her. But c'est la vie.
I've also joked with how OP The Major is in S3, the roll could have been played by Samuel L Jackson, Henry Rollins, AND Scar Jo, ALL in the same scene, and it would have been within canon.
Guys, I have been trying to audition for Chopper using puppetry, motion capture, or even going full fur suit to bring this adorable character to life. Showrunners want to keep production as practical as possible. I promise to keep the cute without being annoying. I've even made a rough Chopper marionette.
Good luck, keep chasing your dreams
I hope you succeed
seriously. we need muppet chopper.
@alicepbg2042 we need Muppet a lot of things. Would love a Muppet style tournament fighter with mortal kombat inspired fatalities
the only redeeming factor of the ATLA and DB:Evolution is that they both have actors that have went on to both play characters in shows with more favorable ratings in their respective series.
James Marsters (King Piccolo) voicing Zamasu in Dragona Ball Super.
Seychelle Gabriel (Princess Yue) voicing Asami Sato in Korra.
Scott, there's a reason they said "fuck it, just use his actual face" when they made No Way Home.
I was so confused by the TV spinoff of Dragonball Evolution. Goku steals cars? Dr. Briefs is an alcoholic? They all live in Chicago? Such strange choices.
Shameless ❤
There was a TV spinoff...?
@@L33PL4Y The show Shameless had Rossum and Chatwin (Bulma and Goku) and took place in Chicago with the rest of the above mentioned things.
It was a joke about the similar casting.
Bebop being on the same tier as DB Evolution is wild to me, but that's the fun of these lists I suppose
File under "These people did see the source material but fundamentally misunderstood it and thought they could change key elements."
Five words. "Shower bath shower, and Vicious"
It’s one things to have elements from the show it’s another to actually embody the spirit of the show. Having jet as a divorced dad or Faye actually get into relationships with people completely changes core aspects of their characters and not for the better.
@@Ironcorgi2 I was honestly kind of okay with Jet. He is fatherly, but there is also a whole episode in the OG revolving around his romantic background. Also the entirety backstory explains why he hasn't had time for love. Still that was like the least worst choice I think they made.
Its very bad.
In the Battle Angel Alita manga, several Alita clones are introduced as enemies, some of whom she teams up with. One of them is basically just Vegita trapped in a 4 inch Bobble head doll.
When you moved Death Note down to "Good Bad", I felt a sudden wave of relief, like I'd been clenching a fist the entire time and finally let it go.
You guys definitely need to make a part 2 to this somewhere down the line. There's the Gintama movies, Assassination Classroom, both of the Guyver movies, the live action Sailor Moon series, and plenty more.
Gundam and Patlabor to name a couple mecha, both available on youtube now.
Riki-oh is one of them too
Also Alice in Borderlands
Gintama is one of those movies where the campiness is a feature rather than a bug. I was laughing my ass off when Elizabeth showed up and they were talking to each other like "Damn, we could suspend our disbelief in the anime, but it's super obvious this is a guy in a costume now, right? Whatever, roll with it."
Not to mention it goes full circle with them referencing the movie in the anime. Gotta love 4th wall breaks done right
Also the 2004 Live Action Devilman movie
Fun fact to all my Kamen Rider homies
Ichigo in the live action is played by actor: Fukushi Sōta, who is Kisaragi Gentaro/Kamen Rider Fourze
Orihime is played by idol/actress: Mano Erina who is also Misaki Nadeshiko/Kamen Rider Nadeshiko, also from Fourze
and Uryu is played by actor: Yoshizawa Ryō, who is Sakuta Ryūsei/Kamen Rider Meteor, ALSO from Fourze, and is the secondary Rider of that season
So most of Team Karakura IS A FOURZE REUNION
IKUZE!
@@sonofhades57 UCHU... KITAAAAAAAAA!!
UCHU... KITAAAAAAAAAA!
They even had a reunion pic doing the pose while in costume
Why is the live-action Gintama movie never included in these rankings? The live-action Gintama movie deserves more respect.
Probably because people didnt watch the base anime, which is a bit of a shame. It was such a good show, and the movie captured a lot of the same humor. I do feel like some of the acting was a little too exaggerated, since some of the humor was supposed to be more sarcastic than absurd, but otherwise it was a brilliant adaptation.
Another reason was that it was kinda hard to find it in the states. I lucked out by watching it on a plane ride to Japan, but i havent been able to find it otherwise
Fun fact, the guy who played live action Koichi, played Koichi from Godzilla Minus One, and live action Okuyasu plays Zoro in One Piece live action
The casting in the Bleach Live-action is actually what saved it for me. The people they cast for Ichigo, Orihime and Uryu were just such fun choices. Ichigo and Uryu's actors previously worked together on a show called Kamen Rider Fourze with almost the exact same roles. Ichigo's actor played the main protagonist, A hot-blooded action hero and Uryu's actor was the aloof and distant secondary protagonist. And Orihime's actress while only appearing in that show's tie-in movie, did play the only canon love interest the main character had on that show. So history repeated in this movie and I loved it. It was still only an okay movie, though. A solid okay, but still just okay.
I cough agem
There is ONE singular redeeming quality I can think of for the Last Airbender movie:
It ended up inadvertently providing Legend of Korra with what might be the GREATEST meta-brick-joke I've ever seen. Specifically when you consider how in the leadup to LoK's first season, people were jokingly shipping Korra with Yue.
Now remember that Seychelle Gabriel, who played Yue in the movie, would go on to voice ASAMI… XD
Haven't watched Korra in years. What was the joke?
@@uknownada In the leadup to Korra first airing, a lot of fans were jokingly shipping her with Yue.
Seychelle Gabriel, who played Yue in the movie, would also voice Asami.
Meaning that years later, long after that joke ship had faded from relevance in the fandom, Korra would, from a certain point of view, get together with Yue after all. XD
@@finaldarkfire Hehe, that's great! Also did NOT know any of the actors from the movie carried into the show. Neat!
Kudos to her for recovering from penis hair syndrome
The rock scene for making me laugh.
Two comments about Netflix Death Note.
1. Good movie, bad adaptation.
2. He should have been named Hikaru Turner the same way Light is just an English word with a Japanese last name
The first Death in the Netflix Death Note made me and my friend laugh so hard that I think we actually needed to pause the movie.
It’s like Final Destination by way of Mousetrap. XD
…So it’s like Final Destination
YuYuHakusho felt to me like everyone was afraid they were only going to get one or two seasons max before Netflix would cancel them.
Can't believe I missed Fist of the North Star. I went on a Malcolm McDowell binge after Heroes.
31:48 Dafoe should’ve just been in the movie in black and white. Everyone else is in color.
Nothing makes my Saturday like a nice long video from TFS:)
"Also is Ryuuk from a playstation 3 game?"
"Yes"
"Cool"
perfection
There was no need for live action cowboy bebop, it already existed, it was called Firefly.
And before that existed, it was called Outlaw Star.
@MilleniumFoxMagician and before that existed it was called...idk, but I'm sure there's something
THANK YOU
Oh jesus, can you imagine Spike's crew and the Serenity crew teaming up?
So I watched Netflix One Piece without having read or watched the manga and anime, and I loved it so much that I read all of the manga and have gotten about 300 episodes into the anime. So I just wanted to share my take on the walk to Arlong scene because I understand your opinion, but I have a bit of a different take.
In the live action I loved it because of the promise of the final episode. Like that dramatic scene with Nami, Luffy's determination, the crew coming together for Nami, and then we see in the distance the town on fire. Like it was pure steadfast determination in the face of overwhelming odds, and it made me so excited for Episode 8.
But of course the manga and especially the anime have a very different feel. There's still the determination, but it has more of a "We're going to show these assholes why they shouldn't mess with our friend." vibe.
I still love both approaches, to be honest, though I fully understand why those already familiar with the source material would find this lacking.
What I liked about the walk to arlong moment in the anime was that Nami had exhausted every option and in desperation asked for help from Luffy. My other favorite thing about that moment was from the outside world it was just a normal sunny day. Not this big epic moment with a burned down village. Luffys crew isn’t supposed to be thought as being big until after crocodile was defeated.
I thought they were pretty harsh on One Piece really given that holy wow is One Piece so much significantly harder to adapt than more grounded works like Alita or Speed Racer, and so that it was done as well as it was makes it far more impressive of an achievement in adaptation even with the flaws it does have.
The romance part in Alita's manga was... awkwardly teenaged. But yeah, the manga is a really slow burner (The original one ran from 1990 to 1995, but the sequels have been running since 2000!), and plenty of stuff got tweaked; Edward Norton's character IS a pivotal one for the manga, for example, but his "behind the events" approach is quite different. Also, debuts literally in the middle of the OG manga's run, despite consistent references even in the first volume.
The fact that not a lot was said about Mob Psycho is going to lead me to wander into the gates of hell wondering "it can't be that bad, can it?"
31:33 seriously,he’s so good at that he doesn’t even the Green Goblin mask it’s terrifying without it
Agree with all the ones I’ve seen (around half). I only would have moved One Piece from the top of the Good category to the bottom of “Actually Great” just because it was arguably the hardest anime to adapt into live action and that makes it so much more amazing how well of a job they did. I remember when they first announced the show everyone was saying it’s going to be a train wreck. It has no right to be this good and that makes it great imo.
I was so mad at first when I saw they put Netflix Death Note above both One Piece and Pikachu. Thank you for correcting this mistake my faith has been restored.
Y'all always seem to upload around my lunch break which is great cause I need something to focus on while stuffing microwaved Mac n cheese in my face.
I really do think the Netflix Death Note could have been amazing if they just went balls to the wall Final Destination style with over the top kills like the first kill with the car.
On the comment about Godzilla Minus One, shockingly, Toho is actually one of the best studios to work at in Japan because they actually take care of their employees. Somehow, they managed to make a movie that good looking on a small budget without crunch. It's amazing and I really hope more companies are able to learn from Toho.
Rurouni Kenship was Great Actually. Honestly the first movie in that series was such a good mix of humor, action, and clean writing.
Light Turner. Who here saw the "Fairly Odd Parents" parody animation of Death Note? "I am justice!"
The Death Note movies used the original ending they wanted for the manga but were forced to change by Shounen Jump. They even wrote about it in their other series Bakuman about two mangaka being forced to change their Death God story by Shounen Jump ... yes they were that literal about it.
1:00:10 Great minds think alike Lani. My first thought when I saw his face with that white outfit was the Dragon of Dojima.
Calling Yu Yu Hakusho live-action a mixed bag is definitely the best word to describe it, since for the first two episodes served as an abridged but still great version of the first arc of the series. And with some of the best action choreography I’ve seen in a live-action adaptation to boot. I didn’t even mind that the live action version was darker and more serious and removed a lot of the OG’s goofier elements (it sucks that they entirely cut Koenma’s baby form, most likely due to budget since it’d have to be CGI), but I was still on board due to diffing this alternative take on it.
Where the show falls apart is in the final few episodes where it becomes a *very* loose adaptation of the Dark Tournament and introduces Team Toguro like right away. And then as a result it skips over an entire arc’s worth of development, and so not only do you barely feel anything from Genkai’s death due to…well, barely getting to spend any time with her, but introducing Toguro so early makes the fight between him and Yusuke feel less like this big battle the series has been building up to, and just your typical final villain fight.
This show really needed more than four episodes, and it would’ve largely benefited from having season 1 be a adaptation of the first few arcs in the same way that One Piece live action condensed East Blue, and *then* save the Dark Tournament for season 2. But instead, just shoving a huge part of the series into, again, only *five* episodes ended up majorly hindering the story as a result.
So tl;dr, stands squarely in the middle where it had potential, but unfortunately squandered most of it due to how rushed it was.
Oh man, it's funny you guys mentioned seeing one of the Rurouni Kenshin movies in theaters a few years ago, because I was a couple rows in front of you guys and recognized y'all when you walked in. I ended up chickening out of talking to y'all after the movie lol
Sad to not see the Kingdom movies on here. The first one is genuinely the best live action adaptation of a manga I’ve ever seen. At the very least, much better than it’s anime adaptation.
just a reminder
the "walk to Arlong park" is anime only
the manga cuts straight from the crew saying okay, to Johnny and Yozaku blocking the town from raiding the park, to Luffy knocking the gate down
the straw hats aren't even shown in the background of panels walking towards it, Luffy is last shown before with Nami before the panel of knocking the gate down
grand total of 5 panels where the "walk to Arlong park" to the gate getting knocked down
Bebop didn't deserve the destruction it got
I know right? They should’ve done more
At first, I was a little sus about it, but then
I was like, “This looks good! I mean, I’m still not sure about them cussing, and the animation itself wasn’t overly anime crazy”. Instead, It turned into a hot garbage. Not to mention, they cuss quite a lot too.
Couldn't make it past episode 5
@@henny925
It would’ve been enough for you to watch the first 20 minutes of the first episode. You shouldn’t hurt yourself something like that! But I know a way to cure your nightmares, the animation itself, it will make you forget, and some enjoyment along the way. Have a chill day.👍🏼👌🏼
I feel like a second season could have fixed so many issues
Totally agree on YYH. First 2 episodes? Phenomenal. Then in the 3rd episode, the slow realization of "Oh no, they are going to try to get through Dark Tournament..." Its like they were operating under the assumption that they weren't getting a 2nd season and were like "Well, we have to get Toguro in there." Still, enough to hold up and make me watch the whole thing. Agree with the placement.
I really love you guys both a lot and watching you make content simply makes my day ❤️ thank you 🙏🏽
Alice in Borderlands is the best from all of those shows
It’s so good that’s people didn’t knew it’s based on a manga and had an ova already.
I am so glad you guys mention Speed Racer and give it a positive score!
To me, Speed Racer (the movie) was my childhood favorite, there’s just something they done right that’s between animation and real life. I don’t often see movies that pull off as good as Speed Racer. So thank you so very much, It means so much to me. Lol
Last thing: If there’s any movie that did pull off like Speed Racer, let me know.👍🏼
Crocodile being Luffy's other Dad would be so freaking good. Dragon X Crocodile lets go
You guys are killing it lately. All the videos lately have been super enjoyable.
We need a part 2, so many more live action anime movies out there that need to be ranked.
Fun fact: The big monster tree form for Toguro being '100%' is actually a dubism. In the original, that form is referred to as 120%, but in the English version they changed it to "That last form was more like 85."
So, I don't know if it's filler, but Chad did have a fight in the anime where he couldn't see the Hollow, but could hit it, and he won thanks to Karin telling him where to strike with his telephone pole.
I can agree with plenty of the points on One Piece, especially the one about Usopp should have Home Alone'd Kuro, but on the note of Chopper, one of the options I've seen is to have him be a Muppet, but I had the thought of having multiple actors for him: either a child or little person actor for Brain Point, a big buff guy for Muscle Point, and a trained reindeer for Walk Point, with his Rumble Ball forms being mostly CG, and the Brain Point actor doing dubbing for the other forms because that's the voice he has for the whole thing.
Also, I've heard so much praise for the Speed Racer movie, I think I'm definitely going to have to watch it soon.
Not filler that was Chads intro arc.
@@RulerOfYore Thanks for letting me know. It's been years since I watched anything Bleach.
So like anything else in this video Lani wearing a Babymetal shirt is the single greatest thing to ever happen and brought me great joy
The live action Alita: Battle Angel is definitely superior to the anime OVA, and it's actually a REALLY strong adaptation of the first two volumes of the manga. But the manga holds an extremely dear place in my heart and James Cameron's version could never replace it.
A PERFECT show that could work with a live-action adaptation: Hellsing. Get on it Netflix, and do the Crimson F**ker right.
Nice to hear Scott and Nick praise the Alita Battle Angel Live Action Movie
I freaking love that movie, I saw it at the cinema when it came out and it made me want to go and read the Manga
I hope we get the sequel at some point
So here is the deal. The Walk To Arlong Park is anime original filler. It isn't in the manga at all. They needed to pad out the episode, so they put the best soundtrack on there that they could, and they just animated them walking to Arlong Park.
Live action video game teir list when??
Kaiser if you’re reading this you’ve scrolled far enough
I agree with MOST of this list, but I personally liked the Japanese live action Death Note more than the actual anime, it's paced better and ends better, as opposed to outstaying it's welcome after L dies.
Lani wearing the same babymetal shirt I got at their recent tour makes me happy
Welcome back, Happy New Year
Lani is so fucking charismatic goddamnit
Love your content guys 😊😊😊😊
imo the Bleach Live Action adaptation was really well done, it's the best way a retelling of it could be done within 2 hours. The soundtrack slaps too, much better than the original. I'd assume if they had the greenlight for more movies, they'd flesh Chad and Orihime out during the Soul Society movie
I'm pretty sure the JoJo Part 4 movie didn't get a sequel bc the actor for Jotaro got busted for weed. I think the movie still performed really well.
I love the Gunnm manga. Alita is one of my first real characters I've fallen in love with. Not like some simpy crush or anything but just so appreciate of how much of a badass warrior she is. Hugo was such a shitty character in the manga. He was a killer and harvested organs. He was manipulating Alita/Gally from the start. Though, ultimately my biggest problem with Hugo was the actor's complete and utter lack of emotion. During his final scenes in the manga he was hysterical. The actor in the movie did not showcase any of that. That scene was heartbreakingly tragic because Alita/Gally refused to give up on him but he refused to give up on reaching Zalem despite how insane and impossible it was for him.
To be fair, Hugo wasn't there when Vector revealed what happened to people who want to go to Zalem compared to the manga.
It was that reveal that made Hugo mad in the manga.
I love both Lani and Kaiser separately, and also when they're together.... but Lani, please stop interrupting Kaiser, let him finish what he's saying (even when Kaiser's trying to find the right word, just let him)
ty x
Speed Racer is better than it had *any* right to be. It's just so much damn fun. Don't know how they made that bold style work so well visually.
“You know what really translated dragon ball very well for an American audience? Dragon ball.”
Considering how many "fans" say skip it and miss the point of the franchise, maybe not
@@KaitouKaiju I’ve 100% embraced the “dragon ball fandom: we know nothing about dragon ball” thing but yeah, I mean, this is usually more of a truth in countries in North America and among younger audiences because if u go straight to Z (which didn’t happen to Latin America for example) you’ll get this over 300 hundred episode long power metal music video (which does translate well to American audiences I guess) - but yeah, not disagreeing with u at all I just feel like the spirit of trying to make DB (especially the segment Evolutions tries to capture with the transition from DB to DBZ) by making it edgier and very 2000’s is very silly when DBZ in itself was already the edgiest power metal stuff you could distribute, they’d made a better point if they had invested in a cinema cut of the Sayan saga with improved graphics and the same American soundtrack. 🤷♀️
Would the audiences remotely get the actual journey to the west references and the humor and light heartiness of the original DB? No. Would American preteens go A P E S H I T (literally) over monkey aliens who love to punch each other? Absolutely.
I'm sad with where they put Death Note 2006. That's honestly in Actually Great to Better than the Anime. It cuts out the entire Mello and Near arc and creates a two part tale of L vs Light. Soooo good.
Putting them below Netflix Death Note was just insulting
1:14:16 you forgetting about Sanji vs Kuroobi and Usopp vs Chew? The only highlight fight we lose is Zoro vs Hachi and that was for budgetary reasons so instead we get Sanji and Zoro teaming up to take down Arlong's crew which I think was worth it for their banter alone!
heavily agree. I wish the netflix show had just been new scenarios with an adaptation of an episode here and there. that world is so interesting.
Are you guys planning on bringing back the Talkcast Podshow at all this year?
... I can't believe how many times I went 'wait, someone tried to adapt that??'
I blame having no Netflix subscription.
The cowboy bebop one hurt, its the live action anime event equivalent of your dad telling you "im not mad im disappointed" just pain.
Kinda wish the Cromartie High school live action made the list.
I feel like I'm the only person who prefers the original anime run of FMA to Brotherhood. I liked the humunculi characterization so much better with the past lives aspect
You guys forgot Cromartie High School (Actually Great), Detroid Metal City (I love it and it has Gene Simmons), The Guyver (Good Bad), and Guyver: Dark Hero (Actually Great)
To this day, I firmly believe the Fullmetal Alchemist movies were Netflix's attempts to kill their viewers with boredom in order to make a Philosopher's Stone.
Just gonna say shit like speed racer and Alita battle Angel are S tier, and you can’t tell me otherwise.
i still find it hilarious that the live-action Bleach movie is the second time that the actor for Ichigo, Fukushi Sōta, has to play as a high school student who is helped by a girl into transforming into a super powered form while facing down a monster
The walk to Arlong park was epic
