There is one market for live action western adaptations of anime- woke weaboos… why one of the smallest markets in existence is being so heavily pandered to while Netflix costs keep skyrocketing shows Netflix has no serious consideration of existing another 5 years.
Anime never needs or benefits from a live action adaptation. This is being done maliciously to damage the brand of a genuinely good product. It's cultural warfare.
I think when it comes to 'live action' anime adaptations, I prefer the Japanese ones as they a lot of them know how to go serious and silly when they need to be.
The west doesn't do this but to be fair I'd say since 2012ish they've not made good adaptations in the double digits of anything. I still mourn even though I never watched it, what they did to Artemis Foul...
That's what happens when your setting is alternate universe Germany and your cast is entirely from Japan.
Both AoT and FMA have characters with either Caucasian or Asian traits for reasons of plot. Ed and Al's father is part of a golden eyed tribe that no longer exists because Hoenheim is that fucking old. Mikasa is half Asian and the only character with any Asian heritage in the entire story until like 2/3rds of the way through the whole thing and no live action adaptation would ever last that long. Meaning she's the only one that should have been vaguely Japanese in the first place.
In addition to this many of AoT's characters have Germanic names like Jaeger, Braun, and Reiss and similarly FMA has characters like King Bradley whose military title is Fuhrer. Do note that 'King` is his actual name and not any indication of social position.
Nah, I get the idea. I've seen a few eps of kakegurui and the first deathnote movie.
Honestly, japan copies the anime a little too faithfully sometimes, lol. It's not bad, it's just that some things don't translate well from anime to live action.
Nodame Cantabile's Japanese live-action literally has the characters do emoticon-faces that fly off of them, as if it were a text box in a manga. Too faithful indeed, really throws off what is supposed to be a music story with a mild romance subplot, having sweatdrop symbols or LOLs fly off the characters.
I get why they do it, and I certainly prefer that to completely ignoring the story and tone the way u.s. Studios do, bit it can be jarring sometimes, lol.
My money is on Ida and Uraraka based on trend. I'd be suprised if Ida and Uraraka aren't black in the live adaption, not just any minority, I'm betting they'll be black. Of course there will be more race swaps but those two are my "safe bets."
Oh and Hagakure as well, as some kind of sjw victimhood message about being invisible huehuehue
Ah yes a story with super powers that are automatically easier to simply draw in cartoon form than attempt to recreate in a live action medium.
Anime will always work better for supernatural abilities because they don't have to adhere to physics or reality and above all else don't require character actors to look at pre production cgi markers.
They also don't require stunt doubles so you don't end up killing someone like happened with Deadpool 2.
Didn’t the creator of Cowboy Bebop criticize Netflix? Why do they think this will be any different. I hate to assume but knowing netflix they will be obsessed with reflecting the modern world and hire worthless writers who’ve never seen the anime. I could be wrong….
I do need to watch this. My current anime is Ah My Goddess so maybe after that.
My experience is limited, since I don't usually watch anime, but I have yet to see a successful live-action adaptation. They don't generate any substantial revenue, and their quality certainly doesn't carry over.
These fuckers just wont learn eh?? The only semi decent nerd adaptation show was The Witcher but with henry cavil leaving and them going from 50% woke to 200% woke... its over lol.
"Live Action My Hero Academia..."
Just stop for fuck's sake.

Never interrupt your enemy when zir is making a mistake.

malicious? yes. to damage the brand? nah.
Just leeching off the popularity for profit.
That would require these ventures to turn a profit in the first place.
Esg money still counts...

No
Fma and Attack on titan were absolutely garbage

The whole thing was dumb.
Yeah true, you're right on those points. But they are still examples of Japanese live action adaptations that were garbage
missed that one (thankfully).
Dragonball evolution though? thaaat one raised my blood pressure a few points...
I got through 5 minutes of Dragonball evolution (was free on tv), noped out.
If you want a good example of what I mean by Japanese live action adaptations, look up ore monogatari live action

Why is Japan full of whores?
I hope they got paid fat stacks of yen and are still free to shit talk it like the creator of Bebop.
So who is gonna get race swapped first?
Anyone non humanoid will be black. Acid girl, sue, anivoice, etc.
I'm almost 1000% sure the pink slug girl will be a black girl colored pink.
I'll die laughing if they race swap Invisible Girl.
My money is on Ida and Uraraka based on trend. I'd be suprised if Ida and Uraraka aren't black in the live adaption, not just any minority, I'm betting they'll be black. Of course there will be more race swaps but those two are my "safe bets."

Shaniqua just got the starring role.

I think you'll enjoy it, given your penchant for old school super hero comic books.
That’s what I hear. That it’s an homage to old school comics. Thanks!
...anybody else getting dragonball evolution and Deathnote flashbacks?
lol glad I hate that anime
Ditto. MC is too cringe.
So uncivilized.
I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
Oh, I don’t think so.
money laundering
