  1. Not sure if its not remembered anyone more but Crying Freeman had a live adaption too. Was famous at the time for about a week until Goldeneye came out.

  2. i still say that dragon ball one is better than dragon ball evolution. at least, it was faitful to the source material

  3. I now want to see the Assassination Classroom movie! Also, I can’t remember that damn boy’s name from the Kaiji movie and the other one here but I swear I see him a lot. Battle Royale and the initial Death Note movies were my starting points. Because of this, since I saw the first Death Note movie first, I’ve never learned his name…he’s just been Light Yagami to me and I call him that no matter what he’s in, lol.
