At the moment i am watching the real life remake of Erased.
Personally i really like it. Good acting and very eerie atmosphere.

Wat are your opinions on the RL erased and perhaps other anime turned to RL versions?

I've only watched few RL remakes because in general, I think they are poor films. Still, I liked the first Rurouni Kenshin movie. It's a decent film with convincing fighting scenes. The acting is okay, you cannot really expect too much from the Japs. At first, I was disappointed with Ghost in the Shell but after re-watching it I like to think I actually liked it. There are several issues, of course, but I think it got the feel, atmosphere and aesthetic of the anime in it.

I really liked it. I watched the anime before and really liked that as well, so I was excited for the live action remake.

Even though I enjoyed Erased, I mostly think live action adaptations of manga and anime are a mistake. The Fullmetal Alchemist movie is one of the worst things I've ever watched.

They are indeed, it's similar to the video game-to-movie curse. I also agree with the FA movie being one of the worst movie. I stopped watching it after 10 minutes or so. Can't take the mediocrity.

It took me 4 hours to get through the movie, I took a lot of breaks so I could process what I was watching lol. The only good thing that emerged from that was that I felt compelled to watch FMA:B again after the movie just so I could wash the bad taste off my mouth. I rewatched FMA:B in its entirety 5 times since.

I literally laughed while reading this. The fact is, you did something I could not do. You should be awarded for your bravery for finishing the whole freakin' movie. 

I'm currently rewatching it again, I'm at the part where they meet Father for the fist time, together with Greed. If anything, this movie at least game me a good habit of watching FMA:B again and again between watching new series lol.

I had a bad feeling about FA. Not going to watch it.
Ghost in the shell is visually very attractive but i think there are way to little Japanese characters in the movie. Can't believe they chose Scarlet for the main part.
Death note is next on my list and Avatar, the last airbender.  (didn't get around to see it yet)

If you're going to watch Avatar, The Last Airbender, might as well watch FA. LoL

I hear Death Note (you're planning to watch the American one, I presume?) is also very, very bad.

Are you talking about the movie or the TV show? I've seen the TV show and thought it was great, but haven't seen the movie yet. For other live-action, I saw the Bleach movie. Thought it was ok, but it didn't follow the plot of the manga too well, plus the guy playing Renji had super strange looking hair in the film.
