Manga to film?

Most of not all anime series today first appeared as a manga, some examples are Lucky Stars, Black Star Shooting, Fullmetal Alchemist, Highschool of the Dead, Elfen lied,, ,and many more.

Manga to Anime?

Now reading manga is fun in its own right, but if a manga series is long enough (ie Naruto… personally hate that anime) will eventually become an “anime”. Now from this step from Manga to Anime, some aspects of the original story lines or character developments may be lost, another example of this can be seen in both Deadman Wonderland and Elfen lied, both anime series consist of 12 to 14 episodes, but the Manga consists of 36 to 45 chapters. This means A lot of the story lines are cut out,,, mainly the characters back stories, like in Elfen Lied, the anime shows the main protagonists “Lucy” past as a ten year old in a single episode, whereas in the manga it crossed over a few chapters and some flash backs now and then. Even with this cut down, it’s still enjoyable to watch

Anime to Motion film?

Now if an anime series becomes successful, a 40 to 70 minutes long motion film will be made, the motion film would normally be unseen story lines, or UN used ideas and characters, like Ghost in the shell, the two films had no connection to the Anime series, nor did the series reflect on the film. As expected, not all the films are good, some just are shocking.

Anime to Live action?

Now this is fun, not a lot of Animes: make it as fare to see “the big screen”, to name a few, Death Note, Blood+ the last vampire, and Higurashi When they cry (titaled Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Chikai), the Live action Films well be one of three things, 1^st a condensed version of an anime series (ie Dead Note being series 1, and Death Note: The Last Name being series 2) 2^nd being a remake of a motion film, only in live action, or 3^rd, a completely new story,,,

Now needless to say the live action films rarely do as good as the Anime or Manga and jys my opinion, they should stay as anime or manga,, as the story lines and characters can only be pulled of as an animation, not live action,, too fake
