This year, so many live-action films were made based on animes such as Gintama, Fullmetal Alchemist and more! It’s always very interesting to see who will act for the characters you love, but does it feel like same actors/actresses are in the movies that are made from anime series? To find out, here’s a ranking of top 7 actresses who were in live-action movies based on animes.
Below is the conditions of the ranking:
Only count feature films (TV dramas and stage shows not included).
Only count anime and manga based films.
Only count the roles that are rather important in the film.
Include films that are officially announced that they will be on theater soon.
Can you guess who the top actress is?
There are 3 actresses who ranked at 3rd place.

She is on TV almost every day! She will be acting the main role of “anone”, a new TV drama as well as the heroine of NHK’s upcoming TV novel. Although there are many opinions about live-action films, thanks to her talent, all the films have received pretty good reviews!

The most famous piece would be Nodame Cantabile series which she played the role of heroine, Megumi Noda, a piano prodigy. Her facial expression and the personality in the film are very funny!
