Many anime series have already incorporated several movies and the anime series which are incredibly profittable and popular have obtained live action films depending on the anime series if it is  possible to adapt into a live actionfilm due to some series having content which are almost impossible to replicate even with computer generated effects such as pokemon which is completely successful and has been airing for more than a decase but does not have a live action film due to the challenges of replicating pokemon creatures. Cosplay conventions where people dress up as their favorite anime characters are incredibly successful around the world and is held every year with several being held in a single year which is complete proof of the complete success of anime.

Movie Similarities and Problems

The Action Movies White house Down and Olympus has Fallen are both movie which aired in the year 2013 which both have the same story of having the white house over run by terrorist forces.
Not only do these two movies have extremely similar plots but also each of them have their own problems.

The White house down movie has several problems in the story, first of all, a mere tour guide and a little girl should not know classified information regarding the white house such as the location of the P.E.O.C., second, why does the military let people gather so close around heavy artillery, military personnel and the danger zone which is directly in range of the heavy machine guns and RPG's of the enemy and not considering the fact that civilians might get caught in the crossfire and starting an assault with an Abrams tank without clearing them out, third, why is it that the terrorists did not use the daughter as hostage as soon as they found her identity to make the main character surrender, fourth, why does the media continue to broadcast information without the restriction of the government knowing that the terrorists are listening to the broadcast which could alert them regarding military activities of the government such as the black hawk helicopters approaching the white house at low altitude to avoid detection by the terrorists but was seen by the media and also, flying incredibly low is dangerous even for experienced pilots especially over thousands of people who may be casualties if the helicopter crashes, and fifth, why is it that a news chopper was able to hover above grounded airspace over the most secured airspace in the united states while in the midst of a terrorist attack. The White house down disappointed and was considered a flop but despite its flaws, the movie has good action scenes as well as comedy scenes of both characters.

The Olympus has Fallen movie despite it being significantly better than white house down in terms of action, it lacks comedy and is quite serious but even if it is better, a few flaws are still present in the movie.
First, the main characters of the movie overly used a foul word in the movie to the point of exhaustion, and second, the general of the military in certain times acted unprofessionally during a national crisis and did not exhibit descent behavior and continued to talk in a dirty manner and used foul words extensively, he did not exhibit significant decision making skills and showed over optimism which caused the death of several military navy seals. The movie is significantly better in terms of action scenes and story of the movie with the absence of comedic behavior.

The Similarities of the two movies is clearly the plot and story, the movies themselves are like counterparts due to their plot, the main character is left alone to defend and retake the white house, in white house down, the character has the president with him while fight, in olympus has fallen, the character struggles to save the president from enemy hands, the scenes of military troops are also quite similar with the scene in white house down having helicopters fly at low altitude in daylight and shot down by enemy Javelin S.A.M. weapons, in olympus has fallen, the helicopters fly in at high altitude at night and shot down by a next generation weapon system with only one helicopter survivor. It is almost as if the two movies were created for the directors to test their abilities against each other literally by having themselves compete with the same movie genre and plot.

The Transporter

The Transporter first appeared in 2001 with Jason Statham being the lead character who is a highly skilled driver in the movie who abides with his three rules to get his job done, he is called the transporter who delivers his packages on time without fail regardless of any situation, He is also extremely adept at unarmed combat and close quarters combat to defend himself against possible enemies who plans to target his package or himself. He is portrayed as a one man army who is able to defeat armed combatants with only his bare hands and random objects laying around him. He has a cold demeanor which is quite appealing if you are an action movie star.

He is also able to drive any car in any situation even perform a two wheel maneuver without assistance from a ramp. His movie has been recognized all over the world and since its first release continued to release more films for the next decade and producing two more films which all became box office hits.

Action Movies

The Transporter, Transformers, Iron Man, Avengers, Mission Impossible, James bond series and many more.

The Rotary Engine

The Mazda Wankel Rotary Engine are types of rotary combustion and family of car engines. It is well known for its portability and significant power output at the expense of poor fuel efficiency. It is three times smaller than a conventional four-cylinder piston combustion engines and provides less vibrations and stress to the vehicle which makes it an engine which provides a car with superior balance and handling. The characteristics of the Wankel rotary engine give high performance vehicles advantages in all aspects of auto racing except fuel efficiency which includes better tire durability, cornering speeds, acceleration, and top speed.

The performance of the Wankel Engine has made it popular with car enthusiasts in making high performance motor vehicles and even light aircraft enthusiasts but due to its poor fuel economy, it has not been put into mass production in most vehicles and are only applied into a number of high performance vehicles manufactured by Mazda which is the only Automotive manufacturer to use the Wankel rotary engine into serial production. Some of the well-known production sports cars equipped with the Mazda Wankel rotary engine are the Mazda RX-Series. 

The 86 Successor

The Toyota 86 released on the year 2012 is the successor of the previous Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86 and incorporates most of its concepts with added improvements to its design.
The Toyota 86 is a joint project done by the car manufacturers of Toyota and Subaru, it has specifications similar to its predecessor the Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86, it incorporates a 2.0L 4U-GSE Boxer Engine, Limited-slip differential, and rear wheel drive.


It has frequently been put in collaboration sequences with the Toyota Sprinte Trueno AE86 in some automotive convention centers and high definition images. It has several added improvements based on the original design such as improved aerodynamic design, power steering, suspension, balance, and efficiency.

The Toyota 86 has obtained many awards all around the world with the Toyota 86 running out of stocks in some Toyota branches around the world.
It has also been frequently used in art works featuring the car being used by the main character, Takumi Fujiwara of the popular television series Initial D because The Toyota 86 was created to respond to the request of fans for the automotive manufacturers to create another future version of the AE86 because of the sheer popularity of the television series to the point of lasting for a decade which caused the Toyota Sprinter Trueno AE86 to become extremely outdated when the television series continued on the 21st century and caused the fans of the television series to demand another car with similarities to the original car of the main character to be used by the main character to compete better with other high performance vehicles and further enhance his skills and capabilities. Even with the demand of the fans for another car, their loyalty to the classic AE86 has not disappeared and most fans still adore the performance and the classic look of the AE86 mostly because the AE86 unlike its successor has outdated parts and the car mostly relies on its driver to perform at its best which is an excellent way to enhance and develop skills such as braking, balance, and drift control which are currently performed by drivers with assistance from advance technologies such as traction control system, Anti-brake locking system, and stability control in the 21st century in the latest vehicles. The AE86 can help driver perform activities which can be equal or even surpass the capabilities of these advanced technologies and the advantage of learning these techniques is the fact that technologies can fail during a performance while a person has a little or zero chance of failing depending on the driver and his physical endurance and capabilities.
