REVIEWS
STEPHEN
RICK & MORTY VS DUNGEONS & DRAGONS #3
Writer: Patrick Rothfuss, Jim Zub
Artist: Troy Little
Publisher: Oni Press/IDW Publishing
Cover Price: $4.99
Release Date: December 5, 2018
A dimension where the Dungeons & Dragons paradigms are real. The rules are absolute… or, at least, they were… until Rick and Morty make their mark. Get ready to plead the fifth (edition) in this unlawful, chaotically evil story of family friction and fantasy frolics.
The world’s greatest roleplaying game.
Reality’s most dysfunctional animated series.
What could go wrong?

Slow on the draw here, but I can think of a good adaptation of a manga in 2006’s Japanese for TV Death Note movies. It has some differences but it faithfully recreates the tension and has enough differences to entertain those that might get bored of seeing the same story.
City Hunter starring Jackie Chan is not hardly at all faithful, but still fun film.
Again, both are originally manga. Most anime are adaptations themselves, fewer works are anime originals like NGE or Cowboy Bebop.
So maybe The Flintstones might be your best anime adaptation to a live action film.
