Ooo no I have not! Looks like this might cover what I’m looking for

I am a big fan. He has been at it a while, used to watch him on channel awesome before they went to crap.

any western made anime one should be in it, starting with Dragonball Evolution

the only great, borderline perfect adaptation I have ever watched is Brideshead Revisited. Almost word by word like the book, with incredible direction, acting, music, cinematography, you name it

All the live action animes that Netflix has tried, and their attempt at Resident Evil.
