There was a live-action Gundam movie back in '99(for the 20th anniversary of Mobile Suit Gundam) called G-Saviour, which, while it had some decent visuals and a promising back story, was medicore at best.JamesStaley wrote: ↑2017-12-27 08:16pm FINALLY, after a decade of waiting, anime fans are finally getting the live-action Battle Angel Alita Movie we have been so eagerly waiting for! They're running the previews for it with The Last Jedi movie, and I like what I'm seeing. It appears it's going to be fairly faithful to the manga, with the main characters of Alita and Ido resembling their manga characters as closely as is possible in real life.

The problem is whether a Western audience would be interested. Simply redoing the anime into live action wouldn't engage people very much, I'm afraid.
Plus some movies iirc.Crossroads Inc. wrote: ↑2017-12-28 04:32pm What was the final ep count for LOTGH? 113 or something?
it is a hell of ambitious thing to try and take on since the western market for it is limited at best...
so very sad :C
CGI, but it was awesome. Better than the live action Yamato, though that wasn't too bad either.Elheru Aran wrote: ↑2017-12-28 04:26pm Hasn't there been a live action Robotech/Macross as well? But I'm probably wrong on that.
There's also definitely been a live action Space Battleship Yamato, and there was that Harlock movie a few years ago, which admittedly wasn't live action.
