Please read. What do you think of these casting choices?

I am in an anime club at the college that I attend, and for one of our activities, we were going to come up with live-action casts for our favorite anime. We thought it would be fun, despite the fact that nearly every time you make a live-action version of an anime, you've signed that anime's death warrant. I've been coming up with ideas for a live-action or CGI version of Code Geass. (I tend to think a CGI version would work better, like with Astro Boy.) I'll put in my ideas for you to look at here. Let me know what you think of the casting choices. If you have any ideas, I welcome them. Keep in mind, this is not for a real thing, but for pure, goofy fun.

I realize some of my choices are kind of iffy, and I'm open to any suggestions.|||Personally I don't like live action of adaptations because one way or another movie makers tend to butcher anime, especially Hollywood (Dragonball Evolution is one example). I realize that this question is purely for fun.





I'm not saying this to be disrespectful or anything. I'm just giving my honest opinion. I probably would prefer cgi with the characters original seiyuu and voice actors in each role. If it's live action, I think that characters should be kept true to their anime counterparts as much as possible. Like the characters that are Japanese, they should be played by a Japanese actor or actress. I don't like when white actors are cast for a japanese role. The only live action movies I liked was Death Note because they kept true to the source material and the characters were portrayed by Japanese actors as the majority of the characters are in fact Japanese.





But to each their own I would say. :D
