10 Best Live-Action Anime Movies

10. Bleach

When it comes to thinking of some of the most influential anime in the medium's history, many people might think of Bleach. It's almost the black sheep of anime fandom as it's respected and lauded for its striking spectacle and the well-crafted world but criticised for its repetition and familiarity.

Still, seeing it in live-action is a thrilling experience, as this movie takes all of the kick-ass elements of the anime and packs it into a tight runtime.

Bleach's story follows a teenager named Ichigo, who can see ghosts. He soon encounters a mysterious sword-wielder named Rukia who brings him into the world of Soul Reapers - those being fighters who help guide the dead to the afterlife and purify remaining souls that have become perverted into monsters called Hollows.

The adaptation successfully captures the big action feel of the series. The visuals on display and kickass weaponry make it an easy watch, and while the world-building is a little tough to grasp all at once, it does an excellent job of bringing unfamiliar viewers into the world smoothly.

Simply put, seeing Hollows get torn apart with giant swords is awesome, and that's mostly what you'll get in this flick. You can watch it easily on Netflix right now.
