Because the impending Dragonball live action movie can't be good and because kids apparently can't be treated to a good movie unless some dorky kid wizard is involved I wanted to go in my way back machine and torture you with horrible anime to live action flicks from years past.

I'll probably start off with the single worst anime to live action movie I can think off. No it's not the live action Fist of the North Star with Gary Daniels. While that and the other Fist of the North Star live action movies (Korea, Taiwan I'm looking at you) are really dreadfull this one takes the cake.

I bring you Devilman from 2004. Now I love Devilman in all his incarnations. I love Devilman Lady (Manga yes Anime no), I fucking LOVE Violence Jack, Devilman: AMON, the yellow shirt delinquent bastard from the early TV series... I'm a huge fan. Then this came out. Now I know manga/anime transitions into live action don't normally turn out well. My expectations are low and a subject like Devilman with it's brutality will turn people off but man this movie is horrible. The effects are terrible, Devilman's fully rendered visage looks like it MAY give the PS2 a run for it's money effects wise, Satan sorta kinda looks like Satan and Seline isn't topless (the same can be said for Satan if you think about it). There is a laundry list of issues that this movie has that it would take me a long time to fully breakdown and analyze this movie but I won't because I have a life (at least that's what my toys tell me).

Here is the trailer. The telecast of Bob Sapp commentating on the apocalypse should immediately tell you how fubar'd this whole movie was.
