A Cowboy Bebop live action? That's news for me!
I remember reading or hearing about Captain Tsubasa's "it wal all just a dream" that ended up makimg kids kill themselves. I don't know if those are true facts or just rumors, but that's the only "dream based" show that I remember. And somehow I enjoyed the last two episodes of Evangelion, even more than the End of Evangelion. Although they didn't solve anything about the main story, to me it was a happy ending for Shinji's storyline and how he could manage to put an end to his fears. |

And here I was going to hate-vote for the delusional Robotech movie in the poll, but it's too vaporous to have even made the list.

I considered almost all of the spoiler[Mai HiME] anime to be a dream.

If you want an old film example (short, technically), 1930's The Laurel-Hardy Murder Case is one.
This type of trope could be deemed trolling if you have the audience convinced that so much is going on then it wast just fake. On the other hand, it could be a blessing because the fans may note like some ending and then find it that's not what actually happened. For the latest Shippuden fillers, this trope really does apply in terms of canon. |

The Haruhi episode was not a dream.
Yuki told Kyon that he and Haruhi spoiler[did not exist in our world during that time.]
How did you come to that conclusion? Who was dreaming? Last edited by Touma on Sat Nov 07, 2015 11:56 am; edited 2 times in total |

I don't think "Toys in the Attic" was a dream, they're just not as sick as we were led to believe. You even see the refrigerator floating in space at the end. Also surprised Gurren Lagann 26 wasn't on this list.

It struck me that the time between arriving at the school and graduation was told as an ongoing nightmare - this actually made the story more plausible. So it was spoiler[Mai's] dream. Last edited by omiya on Sat Nov 07, 2015 12:32 pm; edited 1 time in total |

@omiya
I had never thought of that but it is a plausible argument. It does not work if you consider My Otome to be in the same continuity, but this is not the place to go into that. I forgot to mention earlier that I voted for Ghost in the Shell in the new poll, but it was difficult to decide between that and Battle Angel Alita. I was not aware of the Witch Hunter Robin movie but I would like to see it if it ever gets made. |

At the risk of SPOILERS, there was also the crazy Ranma 1/2 episode where Ranma spoiler[uses Happosai's time-travel mirror to go back to Jusenkyou and prevent himself from falling in...Only to end up back in the first "engagement" episode, where his first-episode girl self shows up anyway.]
By that point, things got so crazy, he had to wake up just to wrap up the episode..."But how do I know I'm not dreaming now?  "
And, of course, Beautiful Dreamer has been mentioned in another thread-- But not the "artsy" Urusei Yatsura episode Oshii used as a first draft, where Mrs. Moroboshi hits her head at the department store, and wanders from one surreal nightmare fakeout to the next, pondering her housewife-mother sense of identity (  ), and ending in the apocalyptic alien invasion of Tomobiki.
Yeah, you could tell Oshii wanted to move on to more serious things by that point. |

Since anime is the superior medium, I see no reason why anyone would need a live action version of a successful anime from any source. I especially do not see the attraction for a successful anime that has been run through the sausage factory known as Hollywood. By the time they finished modifying the original to appeal to western taste nothing recognizable would be left.
What scares me is that if they did do a live action version of something I saw and liked, I would probably watch it. |

There is a typo in the gate keepers entry. It was BAN who has the power to give people illusions with his eyes. Ginji was the character who had electrical powers.

As for the poll, I've been in anime for a long time--long enough to remember the live-action Akira and a pre-Avatar-sequel James Cameron saying he wanted to do Alita--and I can't even remember when Aronofsky said he wanted to do Lone Wolf & Cub.
That would probably be back in the 90's, when we threw Batman movies at Aronofsky, thinking he had the Great American Serious Comic-Book Movie in him, and then every time he said he was going to make it, he would turn around and do some obscure and pretentious graphic novel instead. You can't fool me again after "Noah". 
And are we STILL saying that WETA will do Evangelion? Would this (snicker!) be the ADV-produced version, by any chance? 
(From back in '00, when it was ADV's top selling title, nobody but cool people had heard of that little backwater NZ effects company that had done the Peter Jackson films, and we all thought how freakin' cool it would be that Michael Bay would be putting real CGI giant mecha-robots into his next film?) Oh, and I'm pretty sure they made the Yamato movie by now. (Albeit not the American "Star Blazers" movie that Disney gave to Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, who were going to get to it right after all that money they were going to make on the '97 "Godzilla".) |

I think it's just rumors but I think the manga sequel Road to 2002 started with a dream. |

The final episode of Legend of the Dragon Kings had me throwing stuff at my TV screen, All a dream my foot!
As for live action Hollywoodisation, Tiger and Bunny has the best chance of translating. |

Just pointing out that Ban is the GetBacker that causes illusions.
Edit:Never mind someone beat me to it. On a related note one pf Ban's catch phrases is Did you have a dream? |
