I think it’s mostly me. In another comment you mentioned the live—action Netflix One Piece adaptation as live action anime, and I think that description actually felt somewhat apropos in that specific case, due to the adaptation employing lots of CGI and special effects to ape the style and mannerisms of the anime. I think finding the term live action anime slightly off is my own issue, as I also find the term Japanimation also slightly grating. It probably has something to do with being a fan of a historically somewhat mocked/maligned subculture.
