| Yes, but not because I want to watch them but to listen to people complain and shit on them. |
 |
| Fuck no, and don’t ask that retarded question again ffs |
 |
| No thank you very much. Although to be fair, Japan's live-actions aren't exactly great either, especially their plastic-looking CGI. Bleach was an exception. |
| Of course not, we all know that most of the live action movies suck. |

| Apart from one good (edge of tomorrow) and one average (speed racer) adaptation their track record is bad. They are better off doing anime inspired films like the matrix or pacific rim. Those worked out really well. Otakughosh said: The news about Netflix making an adaptation of Gundam is also heart rending. I hope it's G Saviour 2. |

| Hollywood can go fuck itself. They’re consistently horrible at adopting anime. They have their hands full making a decent non anime movie - they should probably nail that down first |
| Oh look another thread of angry weebs trashing the evil evil Hollywood |
| Hell no. Their excessive use of nudity and swearing would kill everything. It's one of the main reasons why I dislike most of Western Media . I mean just look at the Original English Dub of Yakuza 1. The needless swearing and replacing the word girl with bitch.. ugh cringe |
| If they have competent people working on it who also happen to be fans of the anime/manga, it probably wouldn't be terrible. But most of the time, these companies don't care about source material, they just want money |
| Nope never, I want them to stay away from anime. |

The needless swearing and replacing the word girl with bitch.. ugh cringe agree, i think the cultural gap between japan and america will be a very hard job to do when adapting anime/manga. maybe they need try to adapting the series that have less japanese culture (like vinland saga). |
| ~This is not a SIGNATURE and English is not my main language, so I'm sorry~ |
| No, the Westerns should stay out of Japanese entertainment. They just ruin it and lessen the value in anime/manga |
| Alita has shown that they can do a good enough job as long as they put the right people behind that are both motivated and respect the source material they are handling, now finding those people might be the tricky part. |
| what attracts me the most in anime is the atmosphere of Japanese culture, I couldn’t like any Americanized adaptation, even less if it was live action that I can’t like even those made in Japan. |
| I think it is fine, only if they truly understand the source material, and are able to respect it. In an ideal world, it would be great if the team in charge of the film making was a fan of the source but this doesn't seem to be the majority of the case. However, this can be argued not only in Hollywood but for some of the Japanese live action adaptation too. For example, the 2017 take of Fullmetal Alchemist, was to say at the very least, terrible in design, story and everything else, but this is my opinion. Honestly, I don't think Hollywood adaptations are necessary. These days, anime is quite popular, and people are generally happy to view the original source, no matter how old it is. It is a shame if Hollywood adapts anime and manga badly, and people would only watch it as a parody *cough* Dragonball Evolution *cough*. This could potentially add to the image that anime and manga is simply a joke, and not a strong source of entertainment and more. |
The worst part about it (and the other bad adaptations like death note, etc) is that they’re still done professionally. It’s still made with professional actors, writers, production etc, and even though those things are all done poorly, it’s just professional enough so it can’t be enjoyed as a “so-bad-it’s-good” film in a Neil Breen/Tommy Wiseau way |
| I think certain manga could be great as live-action adaptations. Both Hollywood and Japan just need to understand that not everything can work in live-action. Stuff like AOT, which Japan already tried in live-action, just can't really be done without looking ridiculous because of the titans' faces and body shapes. But something like Alice in Borderland was, imo, done so well in live-action. They took an otherwise edgy plot and actually made me give a shit about the characters. It didn't involve heavy CG and had a story that used real people in an otherwise real setting so nothing looked super fake. Plus the camera quality was superb which was not what I was expecting |
| Good God no. The absolute last thing anime needs is Hollywood getting their mitts on anything |
| Yes, anime that doesn't require a lot of CG or action scenes can be adapted fairly well, I think. Alita was great, Alice in Borderland was also good, I think they should adapt series that are more "mature" instead of trying to bank on huge animated franchises like AoT or Naruto or whatever. A hollywood adaptation for something like Steins;Gate can't be too bad, or something like 3-gatsu no Lion, Koe no Katachi, or Kimi no Na wa, series that rely more on human interaction than complicated action sequences. Of course, it depends on what kind of motivation to make it is there. And how good they want to make it. Winter Sonata anime was a good adaptation of a really good live action series, so it definitely can be done. Just needs to be dedicated to a good adaptation and faithful adaptation, instead of "this is popular haha". Ghost in the Shell 2017 was a terrible movie, because it got rid of everything that made the original so good, and just took random parts from SAC series and mixed it all together into a shitty plot. Not because of sjw reasons or PC culture. It's like how Redo of a Healer was an awfully written story and people only focussed on the "rape" part. |

| No for obvious reasons. I think Japan is the only reputable place where anime and manga should be executed. Nobody does cinema better than Hollywood has. Let Hollywood stay in its own realm. They don't need to leech off of other forms of media. |

| nooo thank you, nonononononono! i feel like hollywood would ruin it, you know? however, if BOLLYWOOD made adaptations of anime and manga... i'd definitely watch c: |
| Not really even if it's adapted well I just can't see why I would watch that version versus just re-watching the original anime. Unlike a book to film or manga to anime adaption there is no inherent benefit to converting animated works to live action. |
| Yes, because getting drunk and watching Hollywood adaptations of anime and manga with the boys is an absolute fun time. On the real though, I'm not against Western adaptations, but I'm against the way Hollywood adapts them. If someone outside of Hollywood, like a youtuber or an indie studio, decided to adapt anime or manga then I wouldn't immediately groan and have low expectations, I'd give it a chance. Hollywood adaptations are made for the same reason soulless remakes are made, to cash in on a franchise that already has a fanbase that's probably gonna watch the movie no matter how shitty, while spending as little time possible making the movie good. You can also add streaming service adaptations to my shit list alongside Hollywood adaptations, for obvious reasons. Edit: I should clarify, I am specifically talking about Western adaptations when it comes to streaming service adaptations, Alice in Borderland was a great live action adaptation, but it's staff is Japanese and it was in no way Westernized. No idea what Netflix's involvement with it was, but just to be sure, I wanna note I'm not shitting on it specifically. People should watch it, it's good. |

| Only if they do it like alita. If they go dragon ball evolution then hell no. |

| That's a horrible idea, no. Not to mention it's a transition to a completely different aesthetics, I don't enjoy looking at live actors as much as I do at anime characters (if I like the art style, of course). |
| Of course not. 30 characters limit. |

No, I don't want another Tragedy to occur ever again. (This is how Hollywood insults a Legendary Anime Series) |

 Scordolo's Recent Reviews To your eternity Vanitas no Karte |
| Netflix Death Note was rough. I still remember sitting in the movie theater watching the Ghost in the Shell live-action and thinking "Why am I here" and eventually falling asleep. No, I don't want anymore. Don't wanna see more of my favorite anime get watered down and butchered into mediocrity. The upcoming Cowboy Bebop live-action worries me. |
 |
| Nooooooo please, Hollywood just keep doing whatever you're doing, don't even touch manga or anime. |
 |
| I wouldn't trust Hollywood to adapt anything. Not even old Hollywood movies. Hollywood isn't Netflix though. I will whine when a Netflix production has a 100+ million production budget. |
 |
| "Do you want Hollywood to adapt more anime and manga?" Nope, Hollywood simply doesn't get a lot aspects of anime. Or maybe it gets them but can't convey them back to the viewer...maybe because it doesn't respect its viewers to begin with. It always gives them some dumbed down version of the main idea. |
 no I never want hollywood to adapt and ruin any anime/manga |
Scordolo said: ManWild said: Not really. It could potentially increase the popularity of the anime but if they fail, then it could leave a scar Death note failed heavily but it didn't affect the popularity. oh yeah, I forgot about that. I guess that's a positive then |
