| Aside from what you said I would add "plot" as a thing anime series does better. When anime plot is well done, it surpasses by far Live-Action shows' plots as anime usually goes for a format that knows that "it will end someday", like in movies, so there are much less ass pulls, better climaxes and plot twists. However, when badly done I think anime may be worse as at least producers of Live-Action shows know how to make "neverending shows", which is not always the case in anime and when they go for longrunners, specially light-novel adaptations, it usually sucks in comparison. |

| That's a really nice blog weirdly posted on the forums. |
| One edge I can think of that anime has triumphant to live-action films/series is, of course, animation. It's its shtick, surely this may come out trite, but I doubt we will ever see something like a FLCL, Ping Pong Animation, Gake no Ponyo, Gunbuster, and of similar ilk to another medium, whose primary selling point isn't animation. For the others, I cannot say, even the most bitter expression in Texhnolyze, I've found to be matched in characters like Travis Bickle. For stoicity, Ryunosuke Tsukue from The Sword of Doom can definitely go against Kenshiro and Jotaro. And boy, I love Bale's performance as Patrick Bateman, man, that was entertaining as fuck. Much enjoyable than most psychopaths I've seen in anime. Cinematography in films are diverse, I had so much eerie and unease watching Love & Pop by Hideaki Anno, who of course, we know for Neon Genesis. But you can say the same for anime too. However, I agree it's much easier to control animation over live-action takes because they don't have to re-do the scenes over and over until the director is satisfied, well, of course that also depends for the director for both medium. We know Kubrick ain't fucking around. But all in all, it really is a case-to-case basis really, every directors/studios and their crew has their own techniques, their own specialty. SFX can definitely be wonky with anime, you can't say everything is consistent. I'll also say cheaper production doesn't mean better, but it is efficient. |

| Anime is much cheaper to produce so you can have scenes that would normally be suited to an almost impossibly high budget TV show in a relatively cheap anime. Take Kingdom for example. What live action TV show has the budget to produce massive Ancient Chinese battles every other episode for 39 episodes per season? It would be extremely difficult. |

| Characters' Inner Monologues - This is rarely done good in a live-action setting and mostly only works in an anime setting. |
AniReview said: Characters' Inner Monologues - This is rarely done good in a live-action setting and mostly only works in an anime setting. Scrubs? edgy threat here. The first 2 points are very subjective opinion and pointless ... meaningless. like the church. its easier to do stuff like that in anime/cartoons but that doesnt mean, they are doing it better... The Chiurch Scene in Kingsmann looks visually 10 times better. it would be a "random action" scene we are seeing 10 times in one One Punch Man episode, as an anime. and expression. oh dude. Just take "The Joker" and the acting from Pheonix. Its hard for an anime to compete with this. |

| Anime has better special effects and thus can basically create any scenery and any effects one desires, without regards to physics. That's about it. |
| Avatar character is Gabriel from Gabriel DropOut. |
| Anime can do things. That would normally be very expensive, or nearly impossible in live action shows. For a lot less money and effort. |
 |
| Anime have better looking girls 2D > 3D |
| You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become irrelevant. |
| Anime does Literally everything better |
 |
| Anime does most things better but one major thing is kids, kids and films and TV are obnoxious brats, see the war of the worlds film which is just a girl screaming for 100 minutes. So I have more empathy for anime kids than I do real ones because kids are bad actors. |
 |
| Agreed with the special effects. I think animation just has an inherent advantage when it comes to portraying something fantastical, because in live action they basically have to take the footage of the actors and lay CGI on top of them, but in animation they exist in the same space, if that makes sense. Basically, what I'm saying is no MCU movie will ever look better than One Punch Man. Bombast too, jumping off of that. Because they have more free reign with what goes onto the page/screen, they can make things look bigger and more powerful than most current movies are willing to do. I saw Captain Marvel recently, and while it is an okay film, the powers on display felt kind of underwhelming. Like, she's literally blowing up a spaceship from the inside, why am I not shaking with excitement? |
| I think one of the biggest aspect that makes anime better is the internal monologue. It drives the plot and develops character. But it would never fly in a live action movie. |
| In terms of a broad stroke, these are some things that I think animated media does better than live action: 1. As cythraul stated, anime does moe or, more broadly speaking, cute things much better than live action. When I look back at the live-action movies, I had to go back to 2016 to identify something as notably cute. That thing is Newt (Eddie Redmayne) from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (I realize there's a sequel in 2018 but I haven't seen it). That guy is fairly cute, or more specifically a cinnamon roll. I'm not counting CGI characters (like baby Groot or Rocket) in this discussion. In contrast, I often have the following thoughts multiple times in a single episode or movie: Cute!, Adorable!, Sugar Overload, etc. From this season's shows, that is particularly true for Ascendance of a Bookworm, Didn't I say to make my abilities average in the next life, and Bananya and the Curious Bunch. For some shows, like those produced by Doga Kobo or select KyoAni titles, that cute feeling lasts from the beginning to the end of the run through. The simplified designs/proportions and cutesy voices (i.e. Kana Hanazawa's roles) of characters are probably the biggest contributor to this. 2. Immersion. At least for me, I have a much easier time getting immersed in anime than live-action. The principal reason is how recognizable actors are. I sometimes have a habit of visually imposing the role I recognized the most, even if it wasn't the actors current role. For example, in Stranger Things Sean Astin plays Bob Newby. He is immortalized in my mind as Samwise Gamjee. Without meaning to, while watching Stranger Things, I sometimes see Samwise instead of Bob Newby and wonder what would Sam do. Now, this isn't just limited to Sean Astin. I would say it happens to almost every actor/actress for me. Since I mostly watch Western Films, I see a lot of the same actors. While this is present in anime also (with regards to voice acting), the immersion break is to a much lesser degree since it is only one physical factor (sound of the voice actor vs. physical looks/sound of the actor in live action). |
