Odd. I can't imagine I'm the only guy who both watched and loved the Nodame Cantabile live-action series/films... I wonder why it isn't on the list. Confused

because it wasn't one of the choices? I was under the impression Goo provided the list of titles and the readers rated them.

only the Death Note live-action adaptations got one-hundred percent approval.

This is misleading. The 100% just means that it received the most votes. The rest are percentages in terms of how many votes Death Note received. It does not mean that Death Note received 100% "approval".

Two things that didn't suprise me.

1) Death Note was on top. Despite the changes from the original manga/anime where it moves on to after L, the movies really did a good job by going with the fans concept that L was better than Near and Mellow, so they caused it to in more than one way end in a tie. Or you could say it was L's final victory. Your choice, I prefer the tie concept.

2) Dragonball was low on the list. Yep, wasn't a suprise. They could have made it one of the top on the list but they changed way to much that it really did lose the premise it was based on. So there will be no sequel in the future I believe, unless they revamp it and start at the Z Sagas.
They are trying that with the American Version Godzilla so I won't put it past a company to try again. Only make sure you do it right this time.
