It's almost like there's some force of nature making animated-to-live adaptations terrible. There are a few exceptions, though. I think Netflix did kind of OK

I think Netflix did kind of OK on Erased (僕だけがいない街). The first movie that was made from that great source material was excruciatingly bad.

- wmil 6y agoThe whole animation to live adaptation idea is equivilant to remaking the original with a new cast, bigger budget, and shorter run time if you're going TV series -> film. Hollywood studios have certain expectations about pacing and storyline. The writter and director will either have their own ideas about the story, or they will be cashing a paycheck and not care. Basically it's a bad start creatively. You're almost certain to lose what made the original special. Really fans shouldn't get exicted about them. The best case is that you get something good but very different.
