Lots of anime have live action things connected to
'em. Yup, I've seen live action Kekko Kamen
material. Buddy of mine recently sent me a really
craptastic TV movie of Blackjack, a series which
has also been turned into an all-female stage
musical. (Other anime with stage musicals: Utena,
Sailor Moon [tons of 'em], Sakura Wars, Rose of
Versailles). Video Girl Ai, Maison Ikkoku, Crying
Freeman, 8 Man, Fist of the North Star [including
awful western-made flick too], Golgo 13, Sanctuary,
Gundam, there's lots of it out there, and in almost
all cases you'll do better to stick to the anime/
manga (Sanctuary's a notable exception to this).
Most of these are either tv shows or made for tv
movies, some are theatrical movies. Almost all of
'em are pretty low budget.
