| Aren't there books that you have read that made you consider that they have the potential to make great live action series or movies? Have there been Japanese dramas or non-animated movies that are adaptations of manga or light novels that you have enjoyed? |
| In general, I'd say so. Particularly when it comes to manga, it feels like anime is the natural path of progression for its adaptation. For me, live action is not my thing so no in regard to enjoying non-animated adaptations. |
  What have I done?! It's too late for me now. I guess I won't be the sane level 5 of Academy City anymore. |
| Oh yeah, I have noticed manga adaptions kind of being lackluster or leaving the adaption incomplete. |
| Honestly yes, I've always felt that way for the adaption for W.I.T.C.H, despite it not originally being a Japanese property. 🤔 |
 |
| I actually watched the live action drama of Even Though We're Adults recently and it was really good (Drama link here btw). Mizuki Yamamoto was well-cast as Ayano in particular. I also watched Ayaka Is In Love With Hiroko but hmm...yeah, that was less good. 😂 |
| @GentleRain81 Was it a surprise to find out that those TV series were adapted from manga? Since you watch so much j-drama, nowadays do you feel like you can tell when a series comes from a comic book? From the few that you viewed both the adaptation and the source, usually which one do you prefer? @Briekimchi Do you watch these TV series because of the source material or is it irrelevant? |

| @rti9 I read the source material first and that made me interested in the live action, since neither have an anime adaptation yet. When it comes to live action drama, I'd typically watch Korean before Japanese but I'm probably a bit more open-minded now. |
| I’m really looking forward to the movie adaptation of Look Back |
