i tend to be a little skeptical of live action adaptations, but i was really excited about the possibility of a live action adaptation of monster. i really hope it still happens, because it has the potential to be really good? i feel like series that are a little more grounded in reality are the ones i'm most interested in seeing adapted and not more fantastical ones. i seem to recall the japanese death note movies being pretty good! also the death note musical slaps tbh. i feel like anime already does a great job of depicting stuff and some of the stuff that looks great animated just looks off when it's translated to live action (like hair especially...), and you don't have to worry about live-action CGI eventually looking bad as technology advances.
