Have you ever seen a good live action mahou shoujo? Exactly.

Tokushit doesn't count.

This is a really odd example series to use.
>Mahou Shoujo are traditionally animated
>MadoMagi draws a lot of its imagery and personality from other anime that came before it
>It's supposed to have a pure/impure visual contrast which is more effective when animated
>Liveaction for a show like this would need a lot of CG. Very expensive, not very effective

three words in the human language to describe this thread; hella fuckin' epic

It should have been a novel instead of a 1cour series. Sayaka and Homura were the only characters that were actually fleshed out.

If you seriously asking question like this on /a/ (or /co/ too) you should kill yourself.

Agreed. Same with Steins;Gate, Cowboy Bebop, Psycho Pass, Re:Zero, etc. Should've been live action. Animation is old and outdated.

You just made me realize that someday Hollywood might try to adapt this shit. I will put a gun to my fucking head should that ever happen.

Here you go. A reaction image for the inevitable live-action adaptation.

>but in what way did the medium help the storytelling?
Why did your favorite anime get animated?

Is this a pasta from a Katachi thread? I can understand arguments about why that should've been filmed instead of animated, but not Madoka.
