Absolutely! I fell in love with Alita the moment she shyly said "Hi," to the doctor, and it's so much better a movie than "Captain Marvel" was and is. But yet which movie got all the promotion, I wonder? Hmmm...

alita was a cleaned-up colorful teenage sci-fi fantasy claiming to adapt a hard-boiled cyberpunk masterpiece. it was a huge pile of glittery shit and as part of the Alita Haters Army, I too need a sequel, it was so funny

oh, gods, WHY did someone make Terraformars into anything? I swear, someone made a deal with the devil on that one. It was talked about when the first season came out, because of how BAD it is (Storywise) It was panned by everyone at the time, and someone decided they needed a live action movie?

[@jamesvance7908]

You are so right with this list. The Lone wolf andCub movies alone could make up a list on their own. That's how good they are

[@MartinSproule]

I absolutely loved Casshern!

[@KommissarKel]

I was waiting for Casshern to show up... And we got Alita instead. Don't get me wrong, Alita was not Last Airbender levels of bad; just either it or lone wolf and cub doesn't fit as well as Casshern.

[@harshtimes23]

I love the way this is edited. Makes me want to watch every movie. I remember seeing Ichi the Killer

Yatterman (2009) and Cromartie High School are two titles worthy to be on the list. Especially Cromartie, which perfectly captured the bizarre nature of the source material.

Though a bit non sensical Casshern should also be added. The visuals are absolutely amazing and certainly look like an anime come to life. Just needed a better writer

[@JcT3o]

Except for Ichi, Lone Wolf, Uzumaki and the samurai one, ive seen all of'em and damn they was good. Parasite and Gantz blew my mind, the scenario was almost the same as in the anime. You should have put Casshern in this list cause the action scenes are awesome just like in Kenshin. Very nice video 👍

You have to read Gantz the manga, even if you’re not into manga; that one is insane.. the anime isn’t close to what it really is, and how graphic it is. Also watch Berserk Golden Arcs, there’s a few on KZbin where fans edited it all together.. one of the greatest anime you’ll ever see.

one of my faves is Guyver, both it and the sequel Guyver Dark Hero, the first movie is a bit more light and campy but still oddly dark and weird, like a darker episode of power rangers that still made it to tv, while the sequel is more dark and mature, pleasing fans of the manga

[@YeeSnarky]

Saw the Lone Wolf Series when I was a kid. The English Dub made them seem comical, but I thoroughly enjoyed them and have been looking for them ever since. Crying Freeman was the next one on your list that I saw. It was an incredible movie. Alita is the final one on your list that I have seen. It was pretty incredible too and I do wonder if they intend to adapt more of the story to Live actions sequels. Not on your list, but which I thought were pretty good were Blood: The Last Vampire, and of course Ghost In The Shell. One is pretty faithful to the original, and the other is close, but still pretty interesting. I do think that Ghost In The Shell was dumbed down a bit for American audiences, but I liked it well enough and do not think it deserves the slamming it got. I'm still waiting for Live adaptions of Ranma ½ and Gunsmith Cats, two of my favourite Anime/Manga. Of the movies on your list there are few I would actually want to see though, and only if they are English Dubs as I sit down to read books not movies.
