Hollywood is already trash with live action anime as the try to change things because they don't get it anyway.

Live action anime makes so little sense to me, between the design of the characters and the fighting, what the hell are they going to adapt?

Is that the big news they gonna announce next week?

Anime studios broke as hell, they been trying to unlock their own version of the marvel-verse for ages

I can quite put my finger on why, but anime just doesn't translate to live action as well as American cartoons do

I always figured 2 reasons...

1. folk don't take anime seriously when translating it to live action.
2. The action choreography would have to be toned down to an extent.

The design/look of the characters is the main reason, imo. It's practically impossible to make actors look like the anime counterparts so you already start with the wrong foot.

You then add the level of detail a good/great anime can get in terms of action that there's no realistic budget that can make a faithful adaptation look "believable"..

The storytelling is also hard to adapt. Dialogue and interactions can be saved or come off as endearing by using a chibi animation, exagerated reaction, a soul crushing scream, etc. that would come off así corny or too over the top in live action.

American comics have been more succesful in live action because they spend crazy money trying to make it work+ get talented actors to adapt characters that actually look like real people (and if they don't they have CGI money). And most importantly, there isn't an american cartoon that can be really compared to an anime.

The best way I can describe what I'm trying to say is like if a Simpsons live action adaptation was announced. There's a degree of difficulty to pull that off that is way beyond a, say, Batman or Spiderman animated series.

Yea but X-Men had plenty of nonsense and still didn't feel immediately goofy like live action anime

Ngl bruh I think they just may not be as good a live action stuff. I shouldn't be able to believe a nikka in a spaceship with a racc00n and strip of tree bark that (both) speak English, but guardians of the galaxy somehow worked


If I see a live action version of Slam Dunk I'm cutting that shyt off immediately, too many tall and athletic people to be believable for Japan somehow that's harder to believe than a talking rac00n, I have no idea why

That's a great example to what I'I'm getting at.

Look at the effort in casting and special effects the X-Men got. When have we seen something even remotely close to what Fox did to make Mystique work (or Beast). You had characters that legit looked like the comics because it was posible (Xavier, Cyclops, Magneto, Jean) and they hit jackpot with Jackman as Logan.

The X-Men cartoon was never about the action sequences or the animation. There wasn't a big hill to climb to make the movies look good and not feel like a lesser product.

The few anime that can work as live action are those were action doesn't matter and realistic designs likee Vinland Saga or Monster. Or maybe a mech series with a huge budget (even though it was only a manga, look how well Edge of Tomorrow worked out).

Ithink the better comp for the challenge an anime adaptation to live action presents are video games, not American cartoons.

That's very different from an anime adaptation breh.

The challenge to make GOTG work was about how to tell a story worth a damn about characters that no one gave a flying fukk about. The was never an incredibly succesful GOTG cartoon with awesome space battles or funny looking characters. Making Rocket look great (and Thanos, Gamora, and the crew) was something money and great special effects could get.

A Slam Dunk adaptation could be done but it would also need an awesome script + great actors. You basically have to create a basketball version of Friday Night Lights with hilarious comedy that can't rely on chibi animation. Watching a Japanese high school team would need heavy lifting by the writing+ acting so the basketball is the least important thing in the show.

A Kuroko no Basket adaptation on the other hand, that would be imposible because that shyt relies heavily on the Shounen gimmicks/special abilities that would look hilariously campy/fake in live action

Even anime that aren't as dramatic with the supernatural stuff, idk mane shyt just never looks right in live action
