yeah I heard about the death note movie not the PoT movie though 'cause I don't watch it. I think its kind of cool seeing animes in live action.
not only does PoT have a musical but BLEACH and Air Gear do too.

A lot of animes/mangas with finite endings (meaning mangas like Hana Yori Dango and Kimi wa Petto) are made into doramas, or Japanese dramas. Actually, some are also made into Taiwanese dramas. Some of them even have second seasons made, like Hana Yori Dango Returns and Gokusen 2. However, they're notoriously short (I think 12 episodes is probably the longest I've heard of for a season/series) and if you're lucky, you may get an hour-long special or even a movie.
By the way, I saw most of the Bleach musicals, all the versions. Pretty funny stuff. They're pretty low budget and it's pretty amusing to see Hitsugaya have a good few inches on Orihime or Rukia, when in reality, the character is actually shorter. We all love watching the musicals where they whiz in with "woosh" sound effects and fight with cardboard swords. xD

Nana was also made into a movie They said the second one sucked though but I liked it anyways. I saw all the Bleach Musicals and Im in love with the guy who plays Kira Izuru. He is soo funny and he is cute too.

The anime Cutey Honey was also made into a live action movie (2 I think). I've never seen the show, but the lead girl looks very much like her anime counterpart.

If you ask me, making anime into live action anything is a bad idea when you consider that the actors are usually Japanese, and therefore, while the characters they portray have huge eyes in the animated version, in live action, they have those tiny Japanese eyes. And the fact that the wigs they usually have to wear to make themselves look like character/characters they're portraying just clashes with their faces. Add to that, it's taking cosplay to a sickening extreme. Yeah, I think it's a bad idea.

So? I actually think it's pretty unique and it can sometimes provide a break to anime/manga. Most live action doramas are the ones which are more realistic and short. Animes like Naruto are not really going to be a dorama, considering length and the battle sequences. God knows I need my breaks from the anime/manga sprees I've been on. I can't say that a musical or movie or dorama is a real replacement for the manga itself, but it's usually good enough for me to enjoy.
That, and I love corniness.
But it's a personal opinion.

I enjoy having anime characters being alive in a movie or musical. There's also a live action movie of Saikano but the ending is way different from the anime series but Its still good enough to see.

While there is good cosplay, I just don't like live actions made from anime.
