Anime fans hate live-action remakes: here's why studios still make them

The controversy behind adapting anime into live-action

Anime fans vocalize their disdain for live-action remakes
but the adaptation process continues.

Fan opinions stray far and wide
many praising live-action films
while others criticise.

Live-action films attract new audiences, boosting popularity
providing exposure to those unfamiliar with the anime.

Profit is a driving force
live-action caters to a broader range of audiences, increasing profitability.

Various issues arise during adaptation processes
from casting choices to storytelling.

Some argue that casting actors rather than voice actors is disadvantageous
with many praising the emotional resonance of anime voice actors.

Adaptations often undergo significant storyline changes
cutting entire subplots or altering character developments.
