Each month, Anime Insider does a little thing where they list their ideas for who should play anime characters if that anime were ever remade as a live-action movie. I just thought I'd list those choices here, though I'm not going to scan or type up their explanations for each choice, just who they think should play who. You may want to bear in mind the date of the issue in which each Casting Call appears, since of course young actors can get too old for a part, or people can pass away after the issue is published.
