How come koe no Katachi gets a anime movie instead of a anime series,A live action drama or at least a live action movie?

Two years after the manga ends Koe no Katachi got turned into a anime movie which is good but it left me me wonder why it didn't turn into a anime series during its run (which might be a bad thing because this process was used for merchandising types,not turning a masterpiece coming to life type ),A live action movie or at least maybe a live action drama or J-drama.

yeah I agree. I've never watched the movie yet unfortunately, but even then I feel like a eleven episode series would be able to include all the story instead of a two-hour movie.

But at the same time, I'd prefer a 1080p movie over some not-as-good, not as great animation eleven episode series for this manga in particular

After seeing the animation movie you'd thank god that it wasn't made into a crappy TV series with poor acting or poor quality TV animation series with episodes cutting at a small climax each time.

Sadly, there aren't many (Japanese) actors who can properly play the roles of suffering without overacting exaggerations or a (Japanese) TV production/live action film companies who can allow time and money for careful and sensible direction with a consistent concept and policy of how things should be shot. The Japanese TV/film industry is drugged by idol management offices and tie-up companies and any attempt to handle this material with difficult issues of bullying, handicap, and suicide would have assured a failure.

After seeing the animation movie, I feel that this "just had to be" made by Kyoto Animation (and not by Shaft), directed by Yamada Naoko (and not by Shinkai Makoto), with voice actress Saori Hayami crying in agony at the climax, and with that soundtrack concept of noises from the piano, in animation format.

It is pop-art, but it is a state-of-art piece.
