bringing darkness and chaos to our once
peaceful world
aided by his disciple ozaro the evil
pair brought the human race to the brink
of annihilation hey guys it's ash here
with watch mojo and these are the top 10
worst changes in live action anime
so really
i don't think we need you at all for
this list we're going to be looking at
the most unnecessary ill-advised or
mind-boggling deviations from the source
material in these iconic series leap out
of animation what i want you to do is go
to those comments and tell me if there's
any chance whatsoever that the one piece
live action will be any good go on sound
off below and of course if there's an
anime list you want to see go to my
twitter ashjaebow and let me know
[Music]
number 10 julia's vicious change of
hearts cowboy bebop
you made me
i loved you by the time the credits
rolled on this misguided netflix series
there's a resounding feeling of betrayal
and not just from spike the bebop's trek
into live action was a bumpy ride and it
all but crash landed in the final
moments with a random twist that made no
sense in either version of the story
after spending the entire season under
vicious thumb julia betrays spike and
takes over the syndicates that it just
held her captive yeah we didn't get it
either
in its defense who needs foreshadowing
respect for the source material or
consistent characterization when you
have a senseless cliffhanger really it
only proved this was julia in name only
julia
number nine not so great ape dragon ball
evolution this is where you landed and
where you will be reborn
it may use the japanese uzaru name but
this is a far raw from the original with
menace power and size to spare goku's
iconic fierce transformation into a
great ape told audiences the chipper kid
was capable of a lot more than even he
knew but it's hard to do anything but
laugh when this sorry excuse for an
uzaru appears without any scale
intimidation or character work to back
it up
it would appear his small stature was
also indicative of how much they cared
about the visual effects since calling
this ugly werewolf an a-patool is a
serious stretch at least the name change
makes sense now there's definitely
nothing great about this
it may share a name with a beloved anime
but this is not the faithful retelling
most fans expected after all it's hard
to tell a similar story when the movie
completely replaces one of its two main
characters of the original series
instead it follows ciel's ancestor
kiyoharu what's different about her you
ask absolutely nothing
outside of the obvious fact she's a girl
kyoharu adds nothing that ciel couldn't
have done better next time they want to
make a romance film they should try
choosing a story that actually has love
in it or really just anything besides
black butler
[Music]
number seven eyes open elita battle
angel
this could be who i am you've been given
a chance to start over with a clean
slate for maybe the first time ever the
glaring issue with this live-action
adaptation is that it was too faithful
admittedly anime is a tough medium to
adapt but choosing to translate the
original works stylized expressions with
a full cg face made us wish they hadn't
even tried it seems alita's biggest
hurdle isn't recovering her past or
fending off bounty hunters but the
uncanny valley
whiz when framed by heavy green screen
and special effects she practically
blends into the background somehow this
live action feature managed to make its
title character look flatter than she
did in animation which is a real shame
since the film isn't half bad as long as
you don't stare at a liter for too long
number six a meat cringe kaguyasama love
is war and kaguya's summer final love is
war
[Music]
the only thing more difficult than
getting kaguya and miyuki to confess
their feelings is finding a good
adaptation of their anime lacking any of
the originals wit or charm this soulless
big screen version is more likely to
make you cringe than swoon
despite portraying one of anime's most
passionate will they want these the two
leads here have utterly zero romantic
chemistry it's impossible to buy into
this already awkward relationship when
it doesn't even seem like the performers
do even when they're kissing when
animated characters feel more believable
than real life actors you know you've
done something horribly wrong further
let down by an uninspired script and
this movie becomes what the original
series initially made fun of
[Music]
number five
attack on titan part 1 and 2.
[Music]
if you can't fit several of your series
most popular characters into a two-part
feature that's a good sign you probably
shouldn't have adapted it at all anyone
who saw this movie hoping to see their
favorites like rhino zeke erwin or levi
will be sorely disappointed to learn
that they've all been replaced by the
composite character shikishima
as you'd expect he's an absolute mess of
underwritten motivations and random plot
points his excessive screen time poses
the question why even bother making an
attack on titan movie without levi to
begin with they leave a titan-sized hole
in the cast and no original character
least of all shikishima is able to fill
it
number four lost identity in translation
ghost in the shell
what's offensive pointless and scarlet
all over this misguided interpretation
of an iconic anime character that's what
long before it hit theaters this live
action movie drew justified ire for
casting scarlett johansson as the lead
not only did it diminish the impact of
an iconic asian character headlining an
american blockbuster but there was no
in-universe reasoning for it either
since major is a robot constructed by
scientists in japan
got him huh
even worse a third act twist reveals
that she was originally a japanese girl
before being remodeled into of course a
white woman instead of justifying the
controversial casting the gross and
offensive implications of this change
did the exact opposite
number three new gren in town cowboy
bebop is this an open bar by chance
you're a fun one weren't you it's easy
to miss that gren's even in the
live-action series since they're
completely unrecognizable and we don't
mean visually there's someone who was
biologically experimented on against
their will turning gren into the show's
only openly non-binary character is
questionable at best of course it's hard
to tell for sure when this series
refuses to acknowledge the character's
vast lore from the anime that
near-offensive reimagining of their
backstories never elaborated on and
instead grant's poignant original role
is abandoned so they can make quips at
anna's side always the tease gran
and the music has only just begun shall
we imbibe
if the creators weren't going to do
gren's outstanding story justice they
shouldn't have even bothered introducing
them at all and then she would smile
oh what a smile
so sad
so
beautiful
number two a dimming light death note
arguably even more so than even the
titular notes one of the most important
elements of this legendary property is
its protagonist light yagami is
charismatic brilliant and terrifying in
his ideological crusade for absolute
justice but light turner as he's called
in the netflix version is practically
the inverse
[Music]
he's easily manipulated more pitiful
than intimidating than likes any of the
moral intrigue that made his animated
counterparts compelling worse the movie
gives him a shoehorned tragic backstory
to justify his actions which completely
misses the points that light isn't
supposed to be redeemable though that
kind of comprehension would have
required an actual understanding of the
character which the creators clearly
didn't have

number one goku enrolls in infamy dragon
ball evolution
oh um
well my grandfather would say beware the
nimiks
that makes whoever thought of
reimagining one of anime's most iconic
heroes as a high schooler deserves a
kamehameha to the face instead of
earnestly training facing down
unbeatable foes or stuffing his face
full of food this version of goku is a
simple nerd who wants the girl it
abandons nearly everything integral to
the character and turns him into a
generic teen comedy protagonist and not
even a good one
doing good
it's genuinely embarrassing that a
hollywood flake was made with such a
fundamental misunderstanding of its
source material really the most
impressive thing we can say about this
interpretation of goku is that even
compared to the rest of the film it
somehow stands out as the most
disappointing aspect
