Well, you keep talking about Dragon Ball Evolution and Ghost In The Shell, but American Studios have done manga adaptations in the 90's too. It was Guyver (who had two movies and was well received) and the god awful adaptation of Hokuto No Ken (that one gave me nightmares). The main problem is the difficulty to adapt a universe like the One Piece in live and make it believable. I think that's the main obstacle when you try adapt video games, manga and comics into a live action. How are they gonna adapt the Devil Fruits or the Haki? How are you gonna make live the species like longarms, longleg, mink, fishmen, merfolk, giant, sky islanders, den den mushi?
