Live Action Anime Movies?

It would seem that it's the newest fad. There's the obvious Dragonball Movie that's been talked about, Death Note already has 2 with a third in progress, but it would seem that Mushishi has one, Blood The Last Vampire is apparently being worked on, Hana Yori Dango started as a Drama series but will be endding with a movie, and who knows how many others I haven't heard of. I guess it's not really a bad thing but it does beg the question: "Where will it all end?" Each of these titles started as books, were turned into animated series, and now they're live action. I could see if they were trying to update them for a new audience but they're marketing them to those of us who have already read/watched the originals. I guess I'm guilty of incouraging them though because I will or have already watched them.

Now for a quick anime themed survey!

  1. Who is your favorite anime character? All time, over all I'd say Kurama
  2. What anime are they from? Yu Yu Hakusho
  3. What are the things you like the best about them? His intelligents-- he's calculative and he looks at not just the over all but the long run, his additude-- he's openly friendly with those he trust but he's got a cold streak for those he's enemies with, his look-- I love his clothes, they're awesome (he also has pretty eyes and hair. ^.^)
  4. What are the things you don't like about them? Erm... there's something not to like? Since when?
  5. (If any)What is your favorite couple? Oh geez... First vote goes to the crazy crossover I was part of like two years ago: Hao Asakura and Russell Tringham. Then there's dozens of different boy's love/yaoi couples and a few hetro couples.
  6. What are your favorite animes? Fullmetal Alchemist, Gravitation, Death Note, and Naruto.
  7. How many animes have you watched? I'd have to say at least 100 different ones
  8. How many mangas have you read? (Either finished or started) A couple dozen, maybe somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-40.
  9. What is your favorite anime genre? I don't have just one but the tops are Sci-fi, Action, Comedy, and sometimes even Romance.
