how many manga/anime/japanese games do you think that exists that adapted into movies?
to repliers:rules (i just want this thread to be displayed neatly for the readers)
rule #1 : stick to topic please, japanese comics, animations,japanese movies and games only that was adapted to movies/films
rule #2 : please no longassed paragraphs to essays, preferably just a list and a small comment, like about 2~3 sentences....
rule #3 : animated films, dont count... live-action only, kinda like death note
rule #4 : please state the country that has adapted the work
rule #5 : no repeats
rule #6 : once again its a manga/anime/japanese only.... so the works done in japan that has been adapted into the film... so no MARVEL, DC, etc.... though its acceptable if the film is from another country... so that way it wont go all out of control, topic, and the point...
rule #7 : make sure the list is accurate and correct , no false information
rule #8 : if the movie name is different but based off a certain manga/anime than just write the manga name, not the movie, or else we wouldnt know right away.... or you can write both.... preferably the movie name at the end

Mushishi, it was directed by Katsuhiro Otomo and was quite true to the manga. A really stunning eyefest.
Ping Pong, directed by SORI. Based on Taiyo Matsumoto's heartfelt sports drama, it was amazing, and sadly as overlooked as the manga.
Blue Spring, based on Taiyo Matsumoto's (again) manga of the same name. A violent school drama I've yet to see.

these are just rumors, correct me if im wrong, but i heard about these movies that are ganna be adapted by hollywood... though most anime/japan-game adapted movies kinda sucks, considering marvel/dc keeps things realistic in terms or social sense and like sci-fi, but not japanese media its all fantasy, and fantasy requires alot of budget....
===========================
Metal Gear Solid
Devil May Cry
Death Note ( obviously done with white guys, though most of the characters in the manga did look white especially the japanese people in it )
Legend of Zelda
Tekken ( not surprising, considering they already did D.O.A. , if they are making Tekken, hope jackie chan is Wulong )
Soul Caliber ( or just the ones from the origin, not the mix )
