A discussion we had earlier
Anime shows/manga that would lend themselves to live action
Yamato (it's already been done)
Kekkaishi
Saiyuki (also been done, but not in the current incarnation)
Full Metal Alchemist
Black Magic M-66
Witch Hunter Robin
Galaxy Express 999
Captain Harlock (all its variations)
Area 88
Ghost in the Shell
Black Butler
Votoms
Dororo
Kamui Gaiden (which I think has been done as live action, but my brain may be baked)
Lupin III
Various sports-related shows (Not a genre I've had much interest in)
Rose of Versailles (and it has been done. The live version is ok, not great, but I put that mainly on a weak script and B-grade actors)
Gorg (one of 2 giant robot exceptions because the giant robot is really not there that often)
Macross (the other giant robot exception if you don't focus on the actual Macross, but more on the Valkyries)
Black Jack (possibly also done)
City Hunter
Cat's Eye
Lensman (possibly already in the works)
Toward the Terra

Anime shows/manga that should never be done as live action:
Inuyasha
Saint Seiya
Gatchaman
Wolf's Rain
Bleach
All giant robot shows (only can be done if you have a humongous budget, possibly a movie, but not a show)
Cyborg 009
D Gray Man
Astro Boy (even if it has been done)
Totoro
Gundam
Urashiman
Devilman

Discuss - Yay? Nay? Why am I bothering?
