kek!!
The problem is the writers for these projects having a severe ego problem in thinking their story ideas are better than the source material.
Because anime was made for the medium.
Same as why games work as games.
Debicki or Elle should have played Faye
>Debicki or Elle
Both of these b***hes are in the itty bitty tittie committee. it should have been Sydney Sweeney.
I dunno faye doesn't have huge breasts she just has a small frame
Her derpy face wouldn’t fit Faye.
Faye is supposed to be beautiful and witty
His perm is why it failed.
To be fair, that was Netflix.
Because anime you can show characters flying and fighting no problem but in live action it requires an extensive budget and Netflix won't pay for that unless the show is a major success
Not saying it happened here the writing was fricking awful
For Netflix's credit, at least Bebob is for the most part grounded in reality if not highly stylized.
But imagine if some studio was moronic enough to make a live-action of One Piece, which is literally made for the drawn medium, it didn't work in 3D, it certainly won't for live-action.
Netflix is doing that though
>chinky asian guy
i thought spike was based off elliot gould??
He wasn't.
He was based on Matsuda Yusaku.
Spike was literally just a ripoff of a Lupin III villain which makes sense considering Watanabe was extremely influenced by the franchise to the point where the main cast of Cowboy Bebop was based around the main cast of Lupin.
Whatever you might think, the creator of cowboy bebop says Spike is based on Matsuda Yusaku. He didn't add anyone else.
Is Lupin III worth watching?
if you like campy episodic shit that has almost zero carry over from episode to episode, and like style and character, yes. it's one of the absolute best with shit still being produced today.
mostly in small doses, or it's a good binge show for nursing a hangover
There's one exception
There are a couple. On top of Speed Racer there is also:
Death Note (jap movie duology)
Kenshin (First 3 films are great and arguably more entertaining than the anime, 4 and 5 are meh)
Cromartie High
Kaiji
The Kaiji movie is actual kino but it is hilariously dumbed down compared to the source. It can't be helped though, considering how much they had to fit in.
Yeah definitely. Kaiji Anime is actually perfect and transcends the manga but the movie, while entertaining and good is a very different experience.
I feel similarly about the Ace Attorney movie but that's a video game adaptation so I didn't mention it.
So do you recommend the Ace Attorney movie? I've been on the fence about it. Is it as good as the Kaiji movie?
No it's fricking shit
Time to adapt FLCL and make Haruko a sassy black woman to teach Naoto to check his privilege & cut off his dick.
>its almost as if stylistic forms are specific to their medium
>why doesn't an oil painting taste good on cheesecake?
out of all the amines you could adapt, cowboy bebop would be the best suited because of its "western" flavor
you could have easily made a great noir action series if you didn't let the netflix committee ruin it
Most anime live action adaptations follow one of two paths. Either they do literally live action anime (Japan mostly does this), or they try to "adapt" the story for the western (aka burger) market. The former is not necessarily bad, it's just "different" to what we'd usually expect from a movie, and they rely a lot on Japanese humor. The later almost always sucks because the makers always go "we're doing our own thing, I'm avoiding watching/reading the source material". Cowboy Bebop was a weird attempt to do it "the Japanese way" but it failed spectacularly.
That actress who plays Faye is actually pretty hot i hope we see her in more works from now on
Because they jam pack them full of Black folk
Because it’s anime it shouldn’t be adapted to live action it should be left alone
bunch of mexicans were tasked with producing this, are you surprised?
Having shit writers doesn't help.
I don't think they actually tried... Right? Theres no way.
This was ment to just be a joke.
When western studios adapt anime series, put out fan fiction tier writing while using the name as a skinsuit. What they should do instead is what old cowboy movies did. Steal the best stories and localize them so that the general public wouldn't know it came from the Japs.
People seem to think that because they are both visual mediums you can swap between the two seamlessly.
It'd be like taking a romantic paining and remaking it with fauvism.
The medium used to tell a story is not incidental, the message and the medium are so intertwined as each determines characteristics of the other. When you switch anime and live action at best you get the same thing but different for some reason. More likely you get a shitty, corrupted version of the original. It's lose-lose.
Simply because the people that adapt the work are usually talentless.
Imagine an an actual visionary director, who is also a hardcore fan of the source material, making an adaptation.
Hideaki Anno couldn't make a good adaptation of his own show.
He doesn't know how to deal with live action. And, he's a hack now.
>now
Anno was always a hack.
And hypocrite.
because nobody wants to see that shit
Was it really that bad?
I liked Alita enough on its own as just a movie without at all being familiar with the source material
The only thing I didn't care for all that much was the romance plot and I'm just gonna guess that there was pacing issues from trying to fit a certain amount of manga material to a manageable runtime
I wouldn't call it an adaptation of the manga, it's more like an adaptation of the OVA(which Cameron cites as the initial inspiration for the project). It even keeps most of the changes the OVA made to the source material and has several scenes that are almost 1:1 with scenes from the OVA.
having a moving camera is expensive so american tv show will just have characters sitting in chairs talking
Drawing and animation can depict outlandish and surreal images with no change in budget, while faithfully reproducing that in live action costs tens of millions in CGI. Illustrated works' core identity is also rooted in stylization, which live action can't possibly replicate unless the source material was already going for extreme realism.
But most of all, these adaptations are produced by children of money and influence who got their positions through nepotism, cronyism or being of a certain tribe, and they universally suffer from severe narcissism with virtually no real ability backing it up, since they never needed merit to succeed in the first place and lack any sense of discipline or work ethic from lax upbringings. They think they're infinitely better than the source material and that they need to undermine it on principle, while having no worthwhile skills or ideas to put into their epic subversion.
You inevitably wind up with a product that is best described as gay and moronic.

This is the correct answer
>Either they do literally live action anime (Japan mostly does this)
Japanese live action anime are awful, they look so cheap it's like a fan project, the worst part is always the wigs
>Japanese live action anime are awful
Sailor Moon and Hana Kimi say you are full of shit.
Frick off, weeb, I'm talking about the popular recent ones like Bleach and FMA
Death Note only bucks the trend because the first film adapts literally only 1 volume of the manga
>All live action anime is trash
>No it isn't
>Frick off I only meant recent stuff...
Nice moving the goal posts.
Live-action anime is limited by budget and forces concessions to be made.
the kenshin movies prove it can be done. netflix is just moronic
Why does this fish implode when ripped out of every context it was evolved to be in?
Ive never seen a single anime in my life and I liked it
same but I saw bebop and it was actually pretty good
They don't pick the right ones to adapt
This just adapt AJIN, BL or something. Things that are largely heightened reality of an action movie with minor a paranormal aspect that an action movie should have budget for (if it's good action with stunts/squibs/live explosions). Shit loads of gore though.
Budget is probably the one true answer, other than adapting a romcom that's straight up reality with some slapstick/deformation humor, but the slapstick stuff is also a problem with audiences, don't think that kind of stuff is in vogue these days (airplane/police academy is the tone you'd need for most anime romcom adaptions).
There's other stuff where the art is it's soul, or the art makes it too expensive to try chase why the one piece thing is going to be fricking horrific to look at, even at "10m" per episode.
why don't they just make a good animated movie instead, is it cheaper to hire actors/crew/shit or something?
I mean I really liked the Gintama movie.
because anime shouldn't be adapted that's dumb
1) Anime will never be as enjoyable with the limitations of live action
2)Western ""artists"" are all ego driven ideologists and it seeps into their work
When it comes to anime, both the source material and adaptions are shit no matter what
Don't know. In this particular case it was adapted by out-of-touch people who were obviously not fans of the original and did not know what made it good.
Every Hollywood adaptation is made by limp-dicked producers with a superiority complex who think they're elevating lowly Chinese cartoons by making them live action, instead of the other way around
They essentially just use the name and vaguely similar costumes to get people interested, then go ahead and make whatever chickenshit idea they have for a series that completely ignores what the original show was about. They're bad adaptations because they barely try to be adaptations in the first place
Westoids can't adapt shit. Really, manga to anime adaptations don't change the character's fricking design or race or gender or the entire story, yet americ**t adaptations of even their own comics can't help it.
Westerners have literally improved upon asiaticshit like Seven Samurai and other boring nonsense.
Seven Samurai > Mag Seven.
No one can name even one forgettable actors in Seven Samurai without googling it, objectively speaking.
Toshiro Mifune.
You are a moron.
This anon is correct. I have watched both movies and Mag Seven failed to make any impression on me. There's something pitifully shabby about the Magnificent Seven.
This anon is a fraud. Like all the self-anointed.
Cus its anime, damn it!!! Its format is its way of being. It's stupid too when it's wasted and used to adapt things that might as well do in real life.
israeli writers, and when they're not, idiotic feminist writers. Neither wants the project to succeed, they only want to insult the audience.
It can work if it's rewritten for live action not just straight up copy it. look at interstellar the source is a literal high school robot shit with boobs. Some anime is also already westernized like bebop but pseuds only love it because of that and not because it's good. put that material in actual western show and it fails hard. the same goes for monster
I liked Blade of the Immortal.
DUSTY OLD BOARD
FULL OF SNEED DUST
You need someone who actually likes and cares about the source material like what happened with Battle Angel Alita, not people interested in fixing the source material like what happened with Cowboy Bebop.
I remember reading the guy who directed It was supposed to make a live action Attack on Titan. I wonder if that will ever happen
Dumb-as-shit story, two-dimensional characters, and spastic editing don't work well in live action.
because hand drawn animation is a superior medium to film
That show was NOT shot on film lmao.
It’s soulless digital
i said film as in videography
Horrible casting
Because they are afraid to make kino anymore.
The Attack on Titan duology was kino and anime weebs are dumb virgin morons.
Which YouTuber made this?
because anime is cringeshit for pedos and underdeveloped moronic manchildren
He said on an anime website.
i-i-i only come here to make fun of you!
You could have adapted Cowboy Bebop, but it would have had to be done around the same time as the anime. The era that created and latched onto it, were dead and gone for decades, before the actual live action adaptation.
Plus it's not exactly a show that works without a crazy budget.
>Plus it's not exactly a show that works without a crazy budget.
I firmly believe the decision to adapt it was made after watching that episode that's set entirely on the ship, it's a good bottle episode
because your pic related was adapted by a western studio who had no fricking interest in anime at all, just with how popular (thing) was.
On rare occasions, they can make it happen. But they have to be fricking weebs at the helm to do it right.
Japan can't make good movies. Western companies don't know how to do anime.
>I'm a le writer
>I should be doing le shakespeare
>I am le above these cartoons for children
disrespecting another artist's work is tantamount to suicide. The fact that they took one of the most progressive and subtle anime ever to be produced and turned it into a complete farce just proves these people have room temp IQs. There was one thousand ways to explore Cowboy Bebop without doing a 1:1 live action remake. Not only did they just parrot the show, they focused on the entirely wrong parts. I fail to think of a worse disaster. Like a child smearing its feces all over a Monet in a vain attempt to "improve" it. If this industry worked on meritocracy instead of israeli nepotism, these people would never, ever work again.
There are teevee approved live action animes.

3x3 ruined in the first image.
