Anime Live Action adaptation- Why does it bother people

*Allio* · 07-10-2016, 09:55 AM

So when it comes to anime live action adaptation, Race seems to play a big importance in displeasure (ie. america's ghost in the shell or Japan's attack on titan)

but the issue is, it only seems to derive from anime to live action.

I mean, I don't remember people complaining turning Sadako into Samara (The Ring)
Keiji into Cage (Edge of Tomorrow)
or any of the power rangers adaptation (okay, I do know there was the "make Red Asian for Samurai)

why does it only seem to correspond to anime. Doesn't that seem hypocritical?

Because they're usually inferior to the original.

Case in point: Dragon Ball Evolution.

I know Ruroni Kenshin had one or two movies in live action and Sailor Moon had a tokusatsu series in the early 2000s. I believe Ranma 1/2 had a live action T.V. movie and recently read about Full Metal Alchemist having one as well.

All of them have been from Japan and I heard they are well-received. If anything, I think it's best if Japan makes these movie since they're the ones who created the properties. I'd totally be down for a live-action Naruto film from them.

Another race thread? Just what this place needed.

It is really odd to me how the internet has become so obsessed with race and racism in the last few years. You can't even go to any message board nowadays without a big weekly thread about race and racism. What's going on?
