we dreamed of seeing anime in real life
but we ended up with nightmares welcome
to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
worst live-action anime though
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking at bills produced both in Japan
and the u.s. that Brunt beloved anime
and manga stories to life and failed
miserably number 10 Black Butler fury
one of the most popular anime out there
a live-action Black Butler was kind of
inevitable while the choice of actor for
Sebastian yourself isn’t terrible the
rest of the film failed to live up to
fan expectations most of the blowback
falls on the complete character change
of Sebastian’s master Ciel or rather he
o Hadouken the movie how do you got
though the same why is she a girl and
not a boy and still retaining scales
look factor in some less-than-stellar
action scenes and tons of boring
dialogue and you’ve got a dish that
needs to be reserved properly or not at
all
[Music]
number nine Speed Racer shit off my
track the Speed Racer anime is fun and
simple we take on the most dangerous
races across the globe when it comes to
the alive action movie it got a bit
messy the CGI is so overblown that it
makes you think you’re watching a movie
length Hot Wheels commercial the visuals
take priority over the characters and a
jumbled plot really cannot save it feel
a bit bad for including this one since
the film is developed a cult following
but still it’s by no means a great live
action anime film I mean the Wachowski
you probably should have stayed out of
this race they’re not alone
number eight Riccio the story Ricky
knocking hi you’re talking to me
sentenced to prison for 10 years for
avenging his wife martial artist Ricky
takes the law into his own hands
delivering a most glory fashion of
justice for a movie with such a serious
setup
you’d be surprised to find that Ricky oh
is more funny than anything else the
acting is bad but not nearly as bad as
the horrible English dub if pretty good
it’s too bad you don’t follow the rules
the action defines the concept of
over-the-top but not in a good way some
of the kills here are just just silly
man is this really what the ends of the
anime and manga wanted to see probably
not you’re all free now number 7 Cass
heard when a robot revolution begins
it’s up to one lone side board with
daddy issues to save the world the
previews looked visually stunning an
action-packed sadly while the film is
both technically there isn’t much else
going for it
[Music]
the characters are not engaging the plot
has so many holes you’ll be falling
through them with each passing second
and not to mention its really friggin
boring plenty of anime have the flaw of
looking too pretty in order to cover for
the lack of a good plot live-action
adaptation should never follow this
trope number 6 kite many filmmakers
including Quentin Tarantino have a soft
spot for the kite animate especially for
the action team we’re not sure they
would have the same love for the almost
action list live-action feature look I
get wanting to get rid of the bad stuff
what about the good stuff huh remind me
what that would be the lead character
may have a tragic backstory but her
portrayal is really dull the story is
not so impressive either and the twists
well you’ll see them coming a mile away
hun even samuel l.jackson himself could
save this film from its dismal zero
percent on Rotten Tomatoes number 5
diver a god
one young man and his alien bio armor
are all that stand between alien
invaders and total annihilation
while the monster makeup isn’t the worst
ever this live-action take are be
popular age animate looks more like
Power Rangers than a serious movie so
why don’t you probably the biggest crime
here is that while he receives top
billing
Mark Hamill isn’t the one to dawn the
alien biosuit that’s kind of a missed
opportunity right will you save it for
later we still got to find a way out of
here
number four devil man
hey we love a good monster Throwdown as
much as the next person but when the
visuals look like this come on and
that’s Prince worthy based on the
seventies manga and anime of the same
name devil man attempts to paint a
faithful recreation of source material
the story tries to fit in more
information than it can and totally fail
the acting is also beyond god-awful and
again let’s appreciate that these are
the visual effects they’ve decided to
use to bring devil man and his demonic
opponents to life cool number three
attack on Titan part 1 at 2
attack on titan is one of the most epic
and acclaimed anime of the last decade
and with the promise of an
awesome-looking CGI colossal titan this
two-part movie should have worked so
what went wrong well the producers took
way too many artistic liberties showing
little to no understanding of the main
cast especially fan favorite the concept
what I enjoy it’s like you’ll meet us we
go though the tone is so sporadic you
don’t know if you should be laughing or
crying when somebody dies the special
effects are also inexcusably poor and it
honestly looks more like a phantom than
anything else
number 2 Fist of the North Star
Fist of the North Star is a
well-regarded anime classic of the 80
with a mix of Mad Max style setting’ and
blood spattering martial arts the
live-action movie fails to impress on
almost every level of that premise I
know everything feels subpar compared to
the anime from the acting to the sets to
the rather tame action scene to be fair
they at least try to stay faithful to
the source by using 10 Cheetos signature
phrase but that’s probably the best
phrase that anyone can give this movie
I’ll turn your back on me you’re already
dead before we reveal our top pick here
a few honorable or in this case this
honorable mentions don’t investigate I
kill
[Music]
nope window and Abidal mmm for another
hand
gun cocks number one Dragonball
Evolution
the horror terrible casting weak visuals
weaker action and a spiritless story and
that’s just scratching the surface of
everything that’s wrong with this
adaptation we have waited forever to see
goku and vegeta lock fists on the silver
screen instead we were given Ragan ball
evolution
the fan backlash against this film was
so great that the world thoughts I
didn’t boom in the super saiyan
population seriously there are few
movies so offensively that that their
own director has had to make a public
apology I’m so sorry that I already I
would never do that on purpose do you
