| Do you think this is even possible? Seems like the majority of the live action creations have usually been ok-medicore for the most part. I think in part this was due to some technical limitations of the past and having enough of an audience to help fund it properly. Especially some of the action or more fantasy based ones are probably unlikely to come close. Probably only some of the more closer to reality ones are more likely in general. Maybe it is just an unattainable goal as things are now. What anime or manga do you think have a good chance at being successful in this translation into live action? Do you think it is even possible for some of the best series to even come anywhere near to as amazing as they are? |

| If the source material is trash then it might not be too difficult, but it's impossible if we're talking about something great. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| the only one i can think of that could have a good live action is monster. mainly because its the only thing i've seen that tries to be live action but in animated form lmfao if anything monster is most likely better in live action |
| good opinions on anything, block = I own you |
| I'm not an expecrt of Doramas, but I have heard shoujo manga adaptations are fairly good, due to not having to add complicated things like superpowers or anime clothes that don't translate well to Live Action, so maybe there is at least one that has accomplished that. |

| It 100% can An Incurable Case of Love's live action is a shit ton better than the manga |

| any rushed anime adaptation can be inferior than non-rushed live action. i guess art and inner monologue are lost. but with proper production and actors, live action can be better than a average anime. u can start by check out these https://mydramalist.com/search?adv=titles&th=127&rt=4,10&so=top |

  Click for a anime mashup! Still not gone bandwagon u, keep crying. Here u are welcome to CRINGE at my EXISTENCE |

| Yes, the Speed Racer live action is perfection in the form of a film. |
| not sure if live action can ever surpass anime, but for sure it can be competitive / close example when discussing about it. my limited example would just be the kosaka onodera because she is like prettier than anime version lol. There were some cosplayers who look on par if not prettier than anime version but unfortunately they won't be the main cast cause they weren't scouted / lacking talent in voice / personality etc. I'm not sure about real life romance movie in general cause I'm not heavy into watching netflix yet. like here when shooting a movie about ghost, sometimes the movie had to be stopped when someone die due to something that you cannot see normally see. I mean when you literally get people possessed because of watching a ghost movie than it's for sure already surpassed every ghost / horror anime in existence. |
| Obviously it's going to come down to personal preference but I think the live actions can definitely surpass the anime version. I haven't watched too many live actions, but in my case I much prefer the drama versions of Seirei no Moribito and Nobunaga Concerto to the anime of each. There are probably more that I would prefer too but it's been hard to find the time to watch everything I would like to. |

| Does Alice in Borderland fit the cut? Pretty sure the anime adaptation is dismal and the live action did so much better. |
 Maybe try sleeping? |
| Always, no matter what anyone says. Live action is the superior medium. |

| No, but it can rarely be on a similar level, like the Rurouni Kenshin movies. |
| police in a pod live action.. much better than the anime... And the movie tri cornered window movie is better than the anime... Mob psycho and saiki k weren't too bad compared to the anime... Neither were bleach and Gintama..komi san live action is on par with the anime, if not better That's just my view.. I loved the 1st four seasons of Kindaichi live action...mind you different actors as 1st season was in 1995 and the 5th one is airing now... The actor in the 5th has no emotion like that of Kindaichi and honestly even his voice sucks |

| Possible and n theory, but I've yet to see it happen. |
on 
| Can it? Yes easily, it does depend on the story though, because anime has the advantage of visual exaggeration which live action will fail to show properly, but if that wasn't part of the story and you had proper good actors and a good production I can easily see it being possible. |
| Death note could. K-On? Not so much. |
 |
| Somewhere out there, a better live-action adaptation could exist, but so could aliens, and well, we haven't found either of them now, have we? We might in the future, but not now, and definitely not for a long time. |
| Netflix' Alice in Borderland live-action adaptation only surpasses the anime because the anime is too short and doesn't adapt the whole story. Apparently Netflix plan on doing that, though how well they'll do remains to be seen when the second part hits the screen in December 2022. So yes - a live-action adaptation can indeed be better than the anime, but only if the anime screws up. 😏  Btw. the manga is still superior. |

| Yes there is potential but there a few things holding live action adaptations back: Fancy character designs that look like cheap cosplay when translated into live action Japanese actors playing non japanese characters breaking immersion Shit CG makes superpowers and creatures look more fake than Cher Incomplete adaptations due to time constraints And specifically in hollywood adaptations: Changing too much usually for the worst So, adapting an anime with reasonable character designs and no superpowers can result in a decent adaptation. Anime with superpowers can only work if the CG is better but currently Japan is leagues behind what hollywood produces. Maybe hollywood can do it. If only they didn't change it so much. Not sure about chinese CG, I don't watch their films but they'll probably move the setting to china and do a bunch of other changes so they're not ideal either. |

| @MichaelJackson is Dragon Ball Evolution better than Dragon Ball? |

| I think more often than not, the fun doesn't come across when it's made into live action. I think it would be better to make a new animated film. The only examples of successful live-action films I can think of are Death Note and Rurouni Kenshin. This month, they are making a live-action Fullmetal Alchemist movie, but I don't have high expectations for the content. |
        |
| Unlikely. There's a reason why it's adapted into anime in the first place, since animation would better capture the tone and feel of the source material than portrayed with real actors and settings |
| Possible? You mean unlikely and it is still very likely that live-action remakes of anime will suck. The likelihood of such remakes sucking is already written in stone. Amazon will never see my Amazon Prime subscription if they really are making a live-action remake of Voltron. Never trust giant tech or third-rate assholes to do remakes of Japanese media. Especially when they don't know it. |
| It's possible, the problem is not technical but the difference between anime content and live-action content. |
| They can but certain things in anime look weird in real life. Like hair and costumes, if they make the live actors wear them, the show looks ridiculous. |
| My waifu is the most wonderful waifu. Mai Valentine. We're freaking out that we're running out of time, but to do what? Should i stop and think of that? Is there something i could do to slow it down? Live in a day for once, instead of watch it sprinting by |
| I think something like Monster can indeed. |
