Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The creative process of adapting anime to live-action presents certain pitfalls that are best avoided for several popular anime franchises. These challenges have led to infamously bad live-action adaptations of popular anime. At the same time, some of these live-action adaptations have overcome such obstacles to become runaway hits. Nevertheless, there are still some anime series that should never be adapted into live-action.
Overall, live-action anime adaptations have a bit of a mixed track record. While live-action adaptations of anime that have been produced in Japan have generally been better received, several Western adaptations have also become hits. The Netflix live-action One Piece has become viewed as one of the best live-action anime adaptations yet, while Detective Pikachu drew from both the Pokémon video games and anime series to do well with critics and at the box office.

The original Oshi no Ko manga is a sufficiently different genre and industry to avoid most of these issues, but a live-action Oshi no Ko has the major potential to be incredibly uncomfortable. The Oshi no Ko manga and anime have already been criticized as exploiting real-life tragedies that struck the Japanese entertainment industry and these issues would only be amplified in a live-action adaptation.
1 KonoSuba Would Be So CGI-Heavy that Adapting it Would Feel Pointless Close With the exception of Aqua's bright blue hair, the main cast of KonoSuba have fairly simple designs that could be adapted to live-action pretty while. On the other hand, much of the rest of the series' world would be hard to adapt well.
