Before you guys start busting me out, hear me to what I have to say.
Think of it this way, what if it was Japanese comics and American Manga, do you guys understand what I mean, the anime will become part of Hollywood and Marvel would become somewhat like anime. Even Dc.
How would it be, Well imo ngl it would suck, well leave your comments and ideologies below so that we can know your viewpoint too

Mar '23Do you see anime and are a marvel\dc fan, if u are then think that marvel becomes animated in japanese style and all the anime you see are filmed like AVENGERS
If you meant DC works or other comics being done anime style it already exists. Japan has many anime and some manga regarding your wishes. There is even a star wars anime.
Nah, are u guys not understanding my point, think instead of Light in death note wht if Christian Bale acted
No, that's the problem, no one can understand what you're talking about... 'xD
You mean, what if americans made manga/anime adaptations? So far most of them if not all has sucked
They have done live action adaptations of anime/japanese videogames and it sucks. They localize the story a lot, making the story lose it's charm.
Some examples would be Ghost in the Shell and resident evil.
P.S. there is already a japanese live action of death note but the anime is still better. Not done by the west but you might be interested.
I'm not sure what we are comparing in adaptions because comics and manga are the same type of story-telling that varies between artists. Do you perhaps mean:
Adapting an anime/manga series with multiple episodes/arcs into:
Western live-action movie? Like Netflix's Death Note or Detective Pikachu?
Western live-action series? Like Power Rangers?
Western animation? Like Netflix's Voltron which is based off Beast King Golions or Castlevania?
There's a bit a different conversation to be made depending what story-telling mode you are translating because there's strength and weakness in (A) animation vs live-action and (B) pacing a story between a movie (shorter) versus a series (longer), before looking at how American and Japanese story-telling typically differ.
I´m not sure what your point is but I really like that cultures influence each other and things get mixed
up, I think that art benefits from that. I´m not a too big fan of remakes, but some are good and there are
some examples with interesting results
A lot of them would never be created in the opposite environment, there are entirely different story telling conventions and expectations and business models that enable entirely different styles of media that are only just starting to merge. The reason so many live action anime/manga adaptions suck is because they pick the wrong series. Even Japanese live action manga/anime adaptions often suck, not just Hollywood or Netflix. The reason being they either pick the wrong series that don't adapt well, don't put in the budget to make it work or they try to adapt it as if an anime with all the zaniness you can only pull off in anime. For instance, we know Hollywood can pull off some amazing super hero stuff, but a lot of manga isn't designed for movies it's designed for weekly/month instalments over a long time, so the pacing will suck if they adapt as is, or they'll have to make some major changes (this is why a lot of anime movies also suck) which they seem to realise for comic adaptions but not anime/manga adaptions and they have to be willing to put in the budge to make the CGI work or it'll look cheap and awful. Live Die Repeat is a fantastic example of what happens when you do put in the budget though, even if no one seems to ever realise it's a light novel. However, if Hollywood/Netflix decided to actually step away from over the top classics and took some risks there are plenty of great series they could do well. Wotakoi is an office drama romcom for otaku that could be in line with something like Big Bang Theory or all the hundreds of romcoms they produce every year very cheaply. Pick any music anime. Hell, Black Lagoon is an anime/manga take on the 80/90s American Hollywood action anti-hero blockbusters, adapt it back and it could be amazing. There's also some awesome anime/manga versions of Western media. My personal insane favourite is Batman Ninja.
(Also like idk how people keep screwing up Death Note, it should be so easy to adapt if you don't get stupid, the only tricky part should be the CGI the rest is people dramatically talking, writing, walking and sitting.)
(Also Also, Christian Bale did do anime. He's dub Howl so we don't need to imagine too hard.)
When I hear American manga, I think of Americans trying to emulate a manga art style.
Like these.
As for Japanese comics, I think of American comics translated to Japanese.
Mind you I am viewing this from an English speaking perspective because all forms of comics are called manga in Japan, even the stuff created in America.
uhm.... Manga means Comic in japanese... basically when you go to Japan every comic even if it's from occident or other countries is still called manga. So they are literally the same thing since both are sequential art accompanied by narration, done in panels, with SFX, bubble speech and so on. To me this is a dumb argument because a lot of people seeks so desperately to try to think these are completely different things when in fact... no? Both of them are "Historietas" in Spanish, but just so people can stereotype and generalize an idea of a specific thing, then of course they use "comic" or "manga" to try to separate them and categorize it faster.
Like stylization wise it can happen, regardless of region. Technically Marvel had in fact anime series. And there are several anime/manga that have been adapted with western actors on Live-Action.
Like... Marvel movies could either be called "Live-Action" since they originally come from comics or even be called "Tokusatsu" since it is mostly about special effects and (usually associated) with superhero suits.
If you could properly phrase what you're trying to convey in your question, since it seems that you're the one not being able to communicate properly as the mast mayority seems to """not get right""" what you meant. Then try to expand and properly explain, since if it's not about what I'm replying, then I believe you're not asking right.
is RWBY good? I heard good things about it but when I watched it, it sucked idk...the animation was not good. Though to be fair I just watched season one
I did like the Shaft adaptation although it really lacked that weirdass Shaft style...Shaft's DEAD and its really sad to see
RWBY being good depends entirely on what you want from a series. The animation does get better, the fight scenes are always amazing, especially early on, but they were also done on a shoestring early on. It's the first big narrative project from the writers, so suffers from all the usual problems you'd expect from a pair writing their first big epic project. It's tonally inconsistent (although the shift from dumb school into more serious was one of the better moments) suffers from a villain problem (there are too many, with vague, weak or insulting motives and personalities, and sometimes are just not even really villains) and a hero problem (the cast is huge, they're reactive rather than proactive, are often outright in the wrong or doing the things they say the villains are doing which would be fine if the narrative actually wanted to comment on that rather than ignore it, and the main heroines are often outshone by whatever new side character is the favourite) and you can tell they've taken a lot of influence from other cool shows, especially anime and slapped them together without really thinking things through and contradict themselves a lot. That said, if you want to turn your brain off and see some pretty cool fun action pieces and don't want to think too deeply, it can be really good. But you will find plenty of anime that does everything it does as well, if not better (watch Symphogear). And if you are desperate to try it, the side media like manga, novels and books are generally better than the main series.
One of the most amazing things about RWBY Is how it started with one guy making a 3 minute animation, getting his friend on board and making the first season and how with each new season the production staff and budget grew and now Rooster Teeth is a fullblown animation studio, with multiple shows, and rwby becoming a multi media franchise with shows, games manga and comics... and it all started with one guy says to his friend "hey wanna make an anime"?
The first seasons are rough to watch because they basically didn't have a budget, so there's that.
Also... the soundtrack is one of the best you will ever hear.
If you wanna just see a bit, the creator made 4 really short animations as a teaser for the show. If you just wanna see a demo of the show. You can always not continue if you don't like it.
