bleach literally just had a well recieved live action

and you had other fantasy live actions to


YYH is not a high fantasy series with out of this world hard to replicate features like DB, One piece, etc.

YYH's aesthethic lends it to have a world shaped that it can be replicated. yes it will come off corny to some like you but for the sake of live action, it wont be as bad and can seem passable as opposed to adaption of other series.
Listen to you. I didn’t even know there was a Bleach live action out, so it couldn’t have been that great. Ruroni Kenshin had a live action and that was solid. But Ruroni Kenshin doesn’t have the same stuff as YYH. And how is a teenager fighting demons from another dimension not high fantasy?:dwillhuh: You over here using words like “passable”. Even in defending this, you’re already acknowledging that it’s likely going to be some mid. So why make it at all?

can you post the rough draft pilot script? if you dont mind

and OP is a anmoly where no one can compare it. OP is the biggest manga series ever and this live action series is made to commemorate it as not onl their biggest series but their longest fantasy/adventure/ action series ever.(i was told this by someone who knows alot about anime, i dont know shyt outside of OP, so you might have to fact check. But i think hes right)

Plus the fact that its the face of WSJ and that company shueisha

and given everything you said, OP might(or might not) pull it off perhaps.:ehh:

YYH is nowhere near OP, so it will never get that i think. Its not even at Bleach or Naruto level in terms of status.

Closest thing I could find about the script is this:
Exclusive: Plot Details Revealed For Netflix’s One Piece Live-Action Adaptation From Alleged Script Leak - Bounding Into Comics

I saw the actual pdf months ago on Google Drive but it looks like Netflix started deleting most traces of the script due to copyright.

Essentially, the script follows the first chapter/episode almost to a T. The biggest changes are references to future plot points and including characters that don't appear in the anime/manga for hundreds of eps/chapters. The inclusion of those characters makes perfect sense given who they are.

I saw posters for a live action theater performance of YYH in Japan.

It's possible they'll use the storylines from these as tickets were sold out and it was well received.

I'll give it a chance. Cowboy Bebop needed to be a movie directed Spielberg and Starring Keanu as Spike. This is probably gonna look like Volcano high

Nah it would have been better to keep it a series. They fukked up by taking too many liberties and having Shinichiro as a consultant and not letting him consult. Homie should have had creative power :francis:
