Why do I dislike live action versions of anime? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! Firstly, I think live action versions are completely unnecessary. But, they also aren't made for anime fans. Anime fans don't say "wow I love this art style, but I wish it was real people and second class CGI instead". No, the live action versions aren't made for fans, they're made for "average" people. They're made for people who say "anime is nerdy" or "anime is for children". I don't want people like that in the fan base. I don't want these unnecessary remakes. Anime is anime because it's animated. That's the whole point of it. I have never looked at an anime character or story and said "gee I wish this wasn't animated". Live action is duller, it's too realistic, and the CGI doesn't help. I just want regular animation, it's why I watch anime. I don't watch animation hoping one day it'll be realistic instead of what I like. Anime is an escape from reality, I don't want to get sucked back into the real world when I'm watching it. It's for fun, it's a distraction, and I love the art style. I know other people feel the same way I do. But the people who are doing this don't care about anime fans. They care about "normal people". A lot of live action versions have said they're being made to appeal to the "average audience" and not fans of the series. So why do we still put up with this? It isn't even for us. And that's why I hate these live action versions. But, those are mostly just my thoughts on this topic. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post!
