Why do many iconic Japanese media never or almost never have anime?

it is the normies pero~ normies are oppressing the dweebs ✧･ﾟ(´ω｀*) pero~


Is expression of my individuality, tchichouan-dono. Aside from that I really like the teehee pero~ look


@tchitchouan Corrrrrect (˵ ͡~ ͜ʖ. ͡°˵)ﾉ⌒♡*:・。.

Anime is more expensive than live action, and the audience does not overlap as much.

@rohan121 So, do you think it's much easier for Yakuza to get a few live action adaptations than to fully adapt a game into a full anime?

@tchitchouan I only watched the original movie and found it funny, although the plot was a bit fan fiction. I wanted to watch the series as well, but I heard it was quite controversial.

We just got another dmc anime last season what are you talking about

@giantpudding "another DMC ANIME last season" - Devil May Cry has only one anime.

@RobertBobert Nope, they did a reboot.

@giantpudding What reboot? What are you talking about? Even the creator himself called it an original show. That's first. Second, it's not anime. It's Western animation that uses anime as a selling point for Western audiences, while in reality simply using anime-ish stylistics. Even the full-length LOTR cartoon is more anime than this. And it wasn't aired as part of any anime season, you won't find this show on MAL.

@RobertBobert prolly didn't want the stink of the old series on it.

That's your opinion. It's officially an anime tho

@giantpudding "stink like an old series"? Are you now unironically trying to attack an original anime based on a Japanese game to defend a Western non-canon series that is trying to pretend to be anime to sell itself to fans of the Japanese series? I don't care what Netflix calls it, it's not anime and that's obvious. With the same logic you can call Bet "dorama".

@RobertBobert It's not pretending, you are. It's officially listed as an anime. You should move on

@giantpudding Again, Netflix can call it whatever they want. That doesn't make it anime. Simple. It's just a lazy publicity stunt and you fell for it.

@RobertBobert Who's talking about Netflix

@giantpudding Who? Dude, Adi Shankar's DMC is a Netflix project. You literally posted a poster yourself saying it was a Netflix original.

@RobertBobert I never said Netflix called it anime. You did

Are you confused?

@giantpudding Lol, what? You literally insisted that it was "officially anime" as your main argument. Netflix produced this show and called it anime.

@giantpudding Again, Netflix can call it whatever they want. That doesn't make it anime. Simple. It's just a lazy publicity stunt and you fell for it.

@RobertBobert Yeah i never said Netflix called it anime. Are you basing it on something i didn't say?

@giantpudding Then who "officially called it anime"? Only creators can somehow officially position their content.

@valico Yes, because it is a non-canon Western adaptation of a Japanese franchise.

@RobertBobert Yes we've been waiting to hear where you got this from:


Are you going to tell us?

Not everything should and can be adapted to anime, look at for example every manga that is grounded in realism and those photorealistic manga can be perfectly be translated in to live action. There are many great live action adaptations based on the manga that translated very well like gintama, kingdom, ruroni kenshin and more.

Also there are multiple factors going on when adapting long running manga/written source in to tv anime such as the avaible staff that would able to take the commitment of adapting long story in to long running anime alongside other things.


Yakuza as a tv anime would be already by default mediocore/below mediocore considering that already when playing this video game is like watching high production values interactive long running live action tv show.

@jacobPOL The Japanese have already made two films and a TV series, but they were at best "loosely based". The first movie captured the atmosphere but made the plot even more delusional, and the TV series changed the characters' motivations too much. For example, Kiryu becomes a yakuza out of a desire to be cool instead of protecting the orphanage.

@RobertBobert Sadly there will be some adaptations being the way they are but in general there is universal agreement in gaming community that almost all adaptations based on video games are bad and how they are impossible to translate especially that interactible nature of video games but also enviromental storytelling that is in many of the video games that is hard to translate.

Look at for example the last of us hbo adaptation and how empty the adaptation was in comparison to the original video game.

@jacobPOL Are you talking about the failed second season or the first one too?

@RobertBobert both, except episode 3 of season 1 which I liked how they adapted the bill segment in hbo adaptation everything else is meh, lack of proper build up of relationship between joel ellie and sam and henry. But especially part 2 how much they butchered ellie as a character the character that at first made people go to to then later ellie becoming more emptier does not knew what she was doing anymore that also led people to question ellie's actions which is non existent in second season also they literally spoiled what will happen to and more things.

@jacobPOL What do you think of the live-action adaptation of One Piece? I heard it was good, not least because of Oda's direct involvement.

@jacobPOL What do you think of the live-action adaptation of One Piece? I heard it was good, not least because of Oda's direct involvement.

@RobertBobert Live action is great is loyal and accurate adaptation, I like a lot how they portrayed many of the events like buggy the clown in live action with taking full use of direction, acting is great very spot on to the manga counterpart, Inaki Godoi is literally embodiement of luffy in real life even Oda sensei basically said that no one couldn't capture luffy other than Inaki, I also like how they incorporated future storylines elements that were in development during when act 1 and act 2 was published but since these two are completed thus also most storylines were also completed how they incorporated them in to the story early on, I like what they were doing like the anime adaptation on focusing on one of the main character early on of east blue saga that played crucial role later in the manga of east blue the first saga (or first part), they captured spirits of one piece very well. I like it, I recommend.

@giantpudding Are you trolling me? Do you seriously not understand why I am saying that Netflix is ​​the one marketing this as an anime because it is a Netflix show? If this show was created by the Russian Soyuzmultfilm, you would be asking why I think Soyuzmultfilm is positioning it like this? Or do you think some random people made Netflix name their shows something like that?

@RobertBobert No i'm asking. You should be able to easily prove that, right?


Are you going to show us?

@giantpudding What reboot? What are you talking about? Even the creator himself called it an original show. That's first. Second, it's not anime. It's Western animation that uses anime as a selling point for Western audiences, while in reality simply using anime-ish stylistics. Even the full-length LOTR cartoon is more anime than this. And it wasn't aired as part of any anime season, you won't find this show on MAL.

@giantpudding So, you are indeed trolling me, okay. I almost bought it, but when you deliberately ignored my question "if Netflix doesn't market its own original shows, then who does?", it all became too obvious. Goodbye.

@jacobPOL Well, I don't see a problem with that. We have a lot of anime with relatively very realistic character designs.

@RobertBobert actually what sometimes makes me question mal guidelines when it comes to the anime is that many of people do not realize that a lot of foreign directors such as from south korea, china and also outside works on anime and also many anime studios outsource a lot of their anime to chinese studios, the same thing with animators many of them are foreign freelancers from south korea, china, taiwan, france and us. For example look at dandandan second season is directed by Abel Góngora https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dandadan whom is not Japanese and somehow got approved on mal, the same thing also with many freelance animators that are working on one piece are also non japanese, jujutsu kaisen season 1 was directed by korean director sunghoo park, many of hunter x hunter 2011 episodes were directed by korean directors, and boruto a lot of episodes were outsorced entirely to chineese studios.

Many of the iconic anime scenes of the modern era anime were animated by non Japanese like

https://www.sakugabooru.com/post/show/188939

https://sakugabooru.com/post/show/255358

And more, like you can see mal guidelines on what anime can be aprooved are very inconsistent.

@jacobPOL I think the difference here is between bringing in Korean and generally non-Japanese studios for Japanese shows and shows that are completely non-Japanese shows. Especially when we're not really talking about anime, but anime-inspired shows. At the same time, we have Western shows made by Japanese people, like the recent Lord of the Rings movie, which was essentially a Japanese-American collaboration. I think you can easily feel the difference between the Netflix series and the Warner movie. The latter, out of context, almost completely looks like anime.

@giantpudding Sorry, it's not my style to feed trolls who ask deliberately absurd questions just to catch me at my word when I obviously refuse to answer. Until you tell me who is positioning ORIGINAL Netflix shows instead of Netflix themselves, I will ignore any attempts you make to bait me.
