The geisha scene from Ghost in the Shell is from the first episode of Stand Alone Complex. As a fans of GITS, I actually really liked it, but as Joey said, you kind of have to forget what you know about the original universe as a lot of things does not match. But I really enjoyed it as a sci-fi movie about memory and identity. On a similar theme, just watch Total Recall, you could make some interesting parallels.

[@DenethorDurrandir]

Pretty much every scene in Ghost in the Shell: In Name Only is ripoff of a scene from one of the anime adaptations, which is the overlaying problem with the movie, it's just a frankenstein monster made from the best scenes from previous adaptations plus some unwelcome identity politics held together by a mediocre story that doesn't get ghost in the shell but rather uses story elements from other adaptations to emulate the ghost in the shell feel btw, I don't mind the whitewashing, but adding extra character that doesn't even feel like she has a place on the team just to have a black woman wasn't exactly a great choice

And the original has almost 30 volumes and a fairily complex plot and worldbuilding, i think it's the kind of thing that's too much to adapt into a single feature-long movie. the way i feel about it is about the same way i feel about the GITS adaptation. It's a pretty okay movie, i can enjoy it and i think it's not fundamentaly bad.

A few fun facts that MAYBE clear things a bit up: James Cameron was not making fun of the original manga of Alita Battle Angel, he is a massive fan of the series. This is why he bought the rights to the series many years ago. Her eyes are so big because she is thy only cyborg with only the human brian left and everything else replaced, she is built with a completely different technology than the other cyborgs, and also there is less light on mars so she needs big eyes to see well there. In the flashbacks, you can see that all cyborgs from Mars had those eyes. It also makes her look more Alien because she is basically an alien. They ended the movie this way because it was the plan to make more movies, James Cameron already came up with the names for the sequels, but well Disney hasn't approved those yet. I don't get the Ghost in the Shell got ranked higher here, it has way more problems.

[@thelink6756]

Because it was honestly better lol. It just had a much more known source material that was held up to a much higher degree. NO ONE has read the alita manga and it annoys me to no end that people make crap up to excuse how bland the film is. If it was james Cameron using his visuals again to sucker most people in. It would have gotten so much more hate. Alita is overrated AF😂😂😂.

Even justifying it that way, it still looks terrible unlike Ghost In The Shell, and at least that is a decent standalone movie unlike Alita Battle Angel

They never were as outrageously big in the manga/anime as in the live action movie.

Sort of like how people in her world would be looking at her.

It was so freaking good. I really really REALLY hope James actually commits to making a sequel like he planned.

It's interesting how you pointed out that the acting in Japanese films seems more theatrical whereas the acting in American films seems more subtle. I think its because American cinema intentionally diverged from more traditional theatrical performance styles while Asian cinema intentionally preserved the historical style of the theatre in its development. Everyone probably has their own preference for either one (which is totally valid) but its always cool to see the effects of two amazing styles :D Loved the video! Glad you did this tier list ^^

Alita's eyes look like that in the live-action movie not to make her look like an anime character, but rather to make her look like a doll, since it's mentioned in the manga that she resembles one.

I will forever hold onto Alita as a shining example of what Live Actuon Anime can be. The character of Alita was supposed to be exaggerated, supposed to look like she doesn't fit in. Frankly, I hardly noticed the huge eyes the second and third times watching. The actress portraying her did absolutely amazing portraying the "born hot yesterday" robot girl out of water character to the effect the og did to "originate" the trope in the first place. The action was epic, the score incredible. Deserved so much more for what it accomplished and succered from having to be a potential one-shot adaptation which I hope to Anime Jesus isn't the case. James Cameron you can tell poured his heart and soul into this project along with the actors. Just so damn good.

[@leizero]

It really is good! Although I understand where Joey is coming from since he read the original source, I still think it should be higher like B- or even A-tier.

I can't be the only one who was bothered that Joey just called shikais bankais.

he dead ass said bleach was canceled, bruh moment.

[@shellkai369]

AH!! i'm not alone!! Blade of the immortal live action is probably my favorite live action out of this list, and I also agree on the Bleach live action. it wasn't bad (avid fan of Bleach) despite all the sub-par elements, it 100% felt that the twisting of the story to fit a movie story telling setting was executed good. I was so happy when you put Blade of the immortal in S tier i screamed in my chair in relief ehehe

[@jeebay5188]

I felt Alita was good from someone who’s read the manga and watched the oav. Ghost in the shell could have been good if they weren’t trying to cram in elements from the animated movie, and sac. It was trying to jam to much content into this movie making it a confusing mess. Visually it was pretty, and fyi the geisha’s were in the first season of stand alone complex.

I enjoyed alita myself even though I didn't know till this video there was a anime and manga.

[@nathanlaw1677]

Mr. Bizinger, wielder of the title of anime man, when you put 'Alita Battle Angel' in D tier I'mma have to respectfully disagree with that opinion. You gotta give the movie for artistic merit in that its visual imagery and use of CGI was incredible, and I think a major reason we might have a difference in opinion is because I wasn't bothered by the large eyes. I thought it was a cool decision (Alita's entire body had to be made with CGI due to the design choices they went with), and I had a blast watching it! I mean, surely it's got to be more than two tiers above Dragon Ball Evolution... right?

[@sericsson1996]

Exactly it should have been at least B if not A.

[@musicaluprising924]

100% agree

[@BombaJead]

And surely it has to be better than fucking death note. Joey did Alita dirty it atleast deserved to be above Bleach imo.

[@nathanlaw1677]

Oh dear I just realized my computer autocorrected 'some' into 'for'. I know my English, I swear!

[@mobiusmobius738]

That's from the perspective of a person who consumed the manga. The movie is really good as a standalone, but if you're a fan of the manga and you try to compare them, of course you're going to see the movie as a C or B. It's the same with Ghost in the Shell.

"Japan can't do CGI for their life" Dorohedoro: "Imma bout to make this man into a meat pie."

[@ManjMau]

Please... I hope they DO NOT ever make a live adaptation of Dorohedoro.

[@GigiGeez]

I think they're getting better in animation, but trying to make it look realistic 😬

[@shlomoshlomo963]

? The cgi in dorehodor looked pretty bad

[@kinjo1]

I consider "shinobi heart under blade" to be a basilisk adoptation (even though they simply have the same source material). It was super cool when it came out and the fights really managed to capture the anime feel in an impressive way

[@tehoriginalcracka]

I really liked the Ghost in the Shell film and watched the anime film again recently and was really impressed by how they more or less lifted scenes straight from the anime

[@ichibanbento]

We will reach Anime Enlightenment when movie people from Japan and the US decide to join up and make a movie studio with Japanese S tier narrative and US S tier aesthetics.

[@MRTPlays756]

Already happening with my hero academia being directed by shinsuke sato who directed kingdom(which joey missed in this video) an absolute perfect adaptation.

[@olebogengthothela1191]

With Japanese actors for Anime like Ghost in the shell or Death Note and caucasian actors for Anime like Attack on Titan or Full metal alchemists, including the right language (we have subtitles). That would be nice.

[@papafakky3198]

There's still 1 more thing I can think of that no one has made a tier list of Henti Live action adaptations

[@716_ハディくん]

that basically jav lol

[@kitikkitik8301]

Rurouni Kenshin is the prime example of how you make a live action anime

[@ViperDivinity]

you never go wrong with samurai anime live action. You only need great stunt actors and choreo.
