Most anime are better off without Hollywood live-action adaptations but a few have all the ingredients to traverse well to the live-action medium.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT With a good deal of anime like One Piece and Cowboy Bebop getting live-action adaptations, it is hard not to speculate which ones deserve to be reimagined in the live-action medium next. The intersection between anime and live-action in recent years has sparked several debates on whether the Japanese audiovisual animated medium of storytelling can leap onto the silver screen in live-action form.
Gurren Lagann The mecha anime genre is notoriously difficult to adapt, owing to its dystopian settings, steampunk aesthetic, and visual scale. However, time and again, movies like Transformers, Pacific Rim, and Edge of Tomorrow have proven that when executed well, live-action mecha adaptations can be incredibly entertaining. Since Gurren Lagann is one of the best anime offerings in the mecha genre, it deserves to be adapted into a full-fledged live-action TV show or movie.
However, since no updates have been made surrounding its release since then, one can only hope that Mugen's unorthodox breakdance fighting style, Jin's Kenjutsu mastery, and Fuu's bubbly personality will someday get depicted in a live-action adaptation. Given how Shinichiro Watanabe masterfully fuses cultures in Samurai Champloo through visual aesthetic and music, creating a live-action adaption that does justice to the original anime may be a little challenging.
Violet Evergarden The titular character in Violet Evergarden is portrayed as a former war weapon who starts working as a ghostwriter after the war. As she heals from her wounds and helps people transcribe their thoughts on paper, she understands what it means to be human.
