Picked a show yet? Cool.
You've been selected to direct a "Game of Thrones"-style live action adaptation of that anime. How does it go? Who do you cast? What do you change?

By Game of Thrones I mean to suggest a large budget, a darker and more somber tone, and lots of gratuitous sex, nudity, and violence that may or may not have occurred in the original.
As it is an GoT-style adaptation, you're allowed to write your own interpretations of how events and characters; even cutting some things out entirely or changing appearances. Over-arching plots and their conclusions should remain somewhat the same though.

Take for example the scene from Gundam 00 where the Meisters meet Team Trinity:
>Instead of Nena simply forcing a kiss on Setsuna, she asks him to personally give her a tour of the Ptolemy; whereupon she attempts to rape him at gunpoint once they're far from the others.
>The ordeal causes Setsuna to flashback and react violently, nearly killing her.
The result is an incredibly edgy scene that panders to modern sensibilities, yet maintains the same end result of having Setsuna demonstrate his deep-rooted aversion to being touched, as well as his newfound disgust and distrust for Nena. (also that Nena does what she wants.)

So, the dark and gritty part is easy.

The mandatory HBO sex scenes... less easy. I guess Ritsuko and Misato are going to be rather more explicit with their love interests.

I refuse to age up the pilots. Shinji NEEDS to be a teenager for his arc to make sense.

Nope. Has to be live-action and "super mature".

Nice try, I'm actually a scorned bookworm who happens to like animation (Japanese or no)
Well, live action shows depend a lot on the actors and projects can fall completely apart if a main star leaves amid filming or between shoots. This can upset a lot of viewers if they were in it for that particular actor or fans who believe the actor defined the character. Similarly, its incredibly difficult to film complex scenes and although you can always use CGI it might look like shit and is going to cost you out the ass. There's also the fact that some actors are not gonna wanna portray certain graphic scenes.

As a counter point, you could discuss Sayla being removed from all other works following 0079 because of VA's health.

>Giant Robo: The Animation

The adaptation is much more faithful to the source material. But it takes some liberties regarding the OVA. It takes place more than a decade after Tetsujin-28 (2004) in a new, technologically advanced japan. The first half of the series strictly follows the original manga. Daisaku Kusama has no particular destiny tied to Giant Robo, but develops a friendship with him throughout the series.

In regards to Giant Robo OVA tying in with Tetsujin-28, there are a couple of ideas. Doctor Big-Fire secretly had his own group of associates known as the Magnificent Ten that worked together with the Velanade Corporation. The BF Group took over the Velanade Corporation after the CEO's death at Kurobe Dam. After the results of the Kurobe Dam incident, Japan remained independent of the BF Group's influence. Bagume would reenter the world as a harmless and efficient energy source by Shotaro Kaneda. It would later be reproduced and distributed all over the world by Shikishima Industries. So now the Third Energy Revolution was an unintentional byproduct of the Tetsujin project. In response, the Tragedy of Bashtarle would have been an early failure of the Bagume experiments gone horribly wrong. With all these events unfolding, International Police Organization becomes an important roleplayer during the GR crisis. Kenji Murasame joins the IPO and accepts experimental treatment to make himself immortal(but with limitations). Agent Ginrei and Daisaku are much closer in age, leading to more obvious romantic cues.

Aesthetically, the show would look much like it did in the manga/pilot.

https://youtu.be/gALLSv7xD2w

Architecture and style would resemble the late 60's or early 70's. The robots would definitely look like they came out of a tokusatsu, being more anatomically correct and larger than those in Tetsujin-28. Yasuhiro Imagawa would direct the series, as Toshiyuki Kubooka could be art director.

Getter Robo.
Live action. Japanese stars shouting in Japanese. Find the good actors, maybe some new ones. Spend the whole budget on choreography and 3D animation.
Season 1 is a retelling of Ishikawa's original Getter Robo, Season 2 is a retelling of G, and so on, until Arc when the series starts floundering because HBO's pressure forces me to flounder around in attempt to prevent me from finishing the series.

>Eureka Seven
Wasn't the movie basically that already?

In all seriousness, though, I DO think it'd inevitably end up something like the movie, albeit closer to the source material and with more brutal fights, a lot more scenes where Holland physically abuses Renton, maaaaaybe a scene or two where he nearly rapes Eureka and generally being far more pessimistic than the source material.

Also pretty much anyone on the Gekko who's not named Renton or Eureka is probably gonna die.

I would blow my load on the budget to hire great choreographers for the fight scenes and pull a Del Toro where all practical when I can and high budget CGI when I can't. I'll either license tons of great heavy/power metal or hire an in-house Jmetal band to do the soundtrack.

I'll get cancelled after one season because I didn't take the series seriously enough and I went seriously over budget.

So HBO's forced "add a sex scene" deal? Fuck fine.

>Gorg.

Make it true to its source material. I guess if I have to throw in a sex scene it will be with Lady Lynx and Rod near the end of the series. Still keep the sailing scene though. Seeing how most of the main cast are american I can work with that pretty well. No one will actually complain about whitewashing shit if I pick a american actor for Rod or Tom. I would need people who fit the islanders but that again should not be an issue. Oh get a japanese kid for Yuu and quite a bit of makeup for Manon.

Actually that is a easy adaptation.

There is that bit where Captain roughs up Lady Lynx to force Rod into talking, which is grounds for expanding upon, I guess.

This is super easy, I picked LOGH.

Could you imagine, It would be pretty good. It has enough political drama to make interesting, most of the action the big set pieces can be done in a similar fashion in GOT. If any anime had to be converted to a GoT styled show it would be LOGH.

I would say GitS would end up as a better crime series with cyberpunk elements than a GoT like series

I mean if it wasn't about Patlabor then I would be down for a Law & Order si-fi mecha show.

You could have fun with it, like if an AI grows a human conscience then they will be treated as such by laws. New cool ass forensic tools. So under a good writer you could make a really good show.
