This isn’t what has been adapted already into a live action show or movie, but what we think could be adapted. We consider a variety of things which need to be considered for a live action adaptation. Plus, discussed some anime which need a movie to help complete them.

There is some hardcore violent stuff in anime and if you joined us on the uStream live you caught some of the violent action. A gratuitous episode for some gratuitous violence!
