You could debate that Alita isn't even a live action adaptation because the majority of the scenes are CGI anyway. There are human characters which make it live action but I feel like they fall flat compared to the better scenes which are animated anyway

This.

I haven't watched any of them, but from the people I know who have seen them they're incredibly mid.

And sailor moon would be a particularly difficult one to adapt and not feel like teen girl power rangers which I don’t think most people want to see. There’s a very long list of anime that are way better for adapting to live action than sailor moon, almost as long as the list of r/movie posts of someone’s really terrible idea for a live action anime adaptation.

Honest question but why do people care so much? It doesn’t take away from the original. Dragon Ball and Pokémon are still the most popular anime in the world despite DB Evolution and Detective Pikachu existing. If it sucks, oh well. If it’s good, awesome. Why get mad over it.

  • Edge of Tomorrow
  • Cowboy Bebop
  • Alita: Battle Angel
  • Ghost In The Shell
  • Hell even Black Swan is a good example being clearly based on Perfect Blue
  • Even Detective Pikachu shows that Hollywood are starting to understand the genre more. They keep getting better at it. As bad as the Death Note film was, Ryuuk was perfect.

It honestly wouldn't be that hard to make Sailor Moon if it had the right budget and the right people attached to it, people who are passionate about the source material which all the above had.
