If the characters are mostly western(or have unknown etnicity so they can be white) and the setting is not japan, sure! it is pretty possible.

So series like Berserk,Cowboy bebop,Hellsing,Attack on titan are all easy adaptation(it will need CGI tho)

The problem is that hollywood always pick the ones full of japs with jap names and hire white actor to play it.

No, EoT is really based on a light novel. It's like thinking John Carpenter's The Thing is based on the 1950s The Thing and not the book called ''Who Goes There''.

You're saying that EoT fits here despite being based on a light novel when this is about manga/anime adaptations, don't play dumb.
>And what the other guy is saying is that light novels are essentially anime in literary form
What are you talking about? A book allows you to tell your story in a way that a manga or anime normally wouldn't do because you're supposed to express everything in purely text form (with maybe some guest artist illustrations every few pages so that the kids don't fall asleep). Manga/anime/movie adaptations have to cut down on it to fit things into an episode and a season. Books have far more freedom because of it.

I don't care if the book's dialogue is kawaii uguu oneechan, the point is that EoT is based on a novel and not a manga/anime like Death Note or Jojo or Dragon Ball Evolution or (god forbid it actually happens) Evangelion.

Dragon Ball and EoT are both thought of as or called adaptations of anime, even though neither of them are anime. That's what makes them the same. And broadly speaking manga, anime and light novels are the same thing in different formats.

>What are you talking about?
You are really not familiar with this stuff if you don't understand what I mean.
>>
>>84476433
you sure that's not the manga adaptation by Takeuchi?

No, and why would you even want it? So western audiences that can't stomach anime tropes or the "shame" of being caught watching anime can enjoy a stripped-down version of a good anime series/movie tailored to their sensibilities? Fuck them, they should never enjoy a single second of anything related to anime ever....they made their choice and now they can die with it.

EoT is based on a light novel, Dragon Ball is based on a manga, that's what makes them different.

>And broadly speaking manga, anime and light novels are the same thing in different formats.
But my point IS that the difference is the format, why not say a book and a movie are the same thing then since the only different is the format?
>>
>>84476556
Why do you think a light novel would need a manga adaptation if it was the same thing?
>>
>>84476571
At no point did I say they are exactly and literally the same. I said that they are the same thing in this particular, limited way.

>But my point IS that the difference is the format
I know they have different formats. They are still broadly the same thing.
>>
>>84476618
>I said that they are the same thing in this particular, limited way.
And that's completely irrelevnt since the point here is that very difference you just mentioned.
>I know they have different formats. They are still broadly the same thing.
They are not, it's like saying a novel is a comic book. They have a different name for a reason.

They are objecively not the same thing and that's my point here, I don't care if you think otherwise or think it doesn't matter.

Cool argument. I already specified the differences between LNs and manga yet you chose to ignore it and point out the irrelevant similarities when the whole point here is that EoT isn't based on a manga/anime like Death Note.

Nobody said they have no differences or that they are literally the same. Manga, anime, light novels and visual novels and are all BROADLY THE SAME. They all feed into each other and are all part of the media ecosystem with shared aesthetics, stories, characters and conventions. This is elementary stuff.

But not the same, that's the point here.
>>84476900
Looks like you didn't read >>84476404

Text-focused story with some visual aid every few pages is not a manga, otherwise light novels wouldn't need manga adaptations. Manga have to shorten that in order to fit the story into a chapter, otherwise you'd have dozens of manga chapters about nothing but the character describing how pretty that one building looks in explicit detail.

Again, this is about the format being different, it doesn't matter if you think they're similar, light novels are objectively not manga, just like manga are objectively not anime, just like books are objectively not movies. This isn't up for debate, all you're doing is trying to claim their differences are irrelevant.

Of course they do, the whole argument is about the differences, it doesn't matter if you think they don't matter because objectively they are not the same, and that's all that matters here.
>No, my point is that they are broadly the same. That is what I said.
And my point is that they aren't the same, which is objectively true no matter what you say.

Cool counterargument, looks like you found out you messed up since you didn't even know what I was arguing about, you thought I actually said the ''aesthetics, stories, characters and conventions'' were different when I never did and was never my point.
>>84477246
>You clearly aren't getting what i'm saying and I can't explain it to you in a simpler way.
You're saying there's no difference when there clearly is, I already explained it, all you did was post a page that resembled something out of a manga but cowardly left out the fact that a light novel is text-focused with some illustrations every now and then, similar to regular western illustrated books that you can find in any library (and the more kid-friendly the book the more illustrations there'll be), you don't call those ''basically a comic book''.
>>
>>84477384
You lied. You blatantly fucking lied. You are admitting that you are full of shit. Fuck off.
>>
>>84477419
Where did I lie? I've been repeating that my point was that the format is different all this time against your nonsensical arguments. Also those insults don't make your side look good you know.
>>
>>84477469
Fuck off, liar.

>>84477384
No I'm saying there is a minor difference and you are being autistic. Light novels are filled with manga. Some even use those pages to tell part of the story. What you are doing is when I say the color is yellow. You are going no that is sun flower.
>>
>>84477514
You didn't even bother finishing my post. I said that's no different from regular western books with illustrations in them but you don't claim those are ''basically comic books''. The format is different as I've explained here >>84477048
>>84476404

A manga panel will have a character saying ''uguu'', the light novel can have 3 pages of a character explaining in detail how that ''uguu'' came out like an angel choir and made all of his worries disappear. That's what I mean by a different format, I don't care how anime-like the book's content is, it's still not the same format as a manga.

>I did and I disagreed with it you pompous ass.
Oh so are you saying books with illustrations every few pages for the kids are comic books then? That's what you are saying by disagreeing with that post you know.
> You just being a hypocrite now with weeb fever
How am I being either of those things?
>Also you still ignoring my point.
What point am I ignoring? You're the one that keeps ignoring the fact that my argument is the fact that a light novel isn't a manga, all you're doing is saying ''nuh uh''.
>>
visual novels are more closely related to light novels than the latter is to manga.

That is what you think you are saying, but you are either a really clever troll or stupid. Probably both.
>What point am I ignoring? You're the one that keeps ignoring the fact that my argument is the fact that a light novel isn't a manga, all you're doing is saying ''nuh uh''.

You are ignoring the fact that most light novels use manga in their story telling.

anime characters have white facial features because nips know that white is more attractive and therefore sells best. they can admit it because they dont have a chip on their shoulders like you niggers do

They don't.
>>
>>84481066
This isn't applicable to anime. It's not trying to make you think you are the characters. That's just American narcissism.
>>
>>84481121
Yes it is. It is the nature of drawing cartoons. The simplified faces of many anime / animation and manga / comics is designed to be universal to the viewer and help them identify with the characters.
>>
>>84481221
It's the American nature of cartoons. Just because something is true in America doesn't mean it's true everywhere.
>>
>>84481221
Wait no. I am mistaken. Anime and manga are a higher art form than animation and comics. Anime is cartoons free of American narcissism.

That's where you're so wrong, bro.
No surprise you're wrong. You don't live... in America
>>
>>84481315
Anime and manga are animation and comics.

America is an extremely narcissistic society, while Japan is not particularly so.

True. They do have some general stylistic differences.

Though I still say the universality of cartoons and seeing yourself as the character is in manga/anime as much as it is in comics/animation.

Though maybe Japan uses that aspect of cartoons in a more communal less American narcissistic way. It is a society focused more on conformity and fitting in with society.

Though maybe there are some more rebellious mangaka who do embrace more individualistic characters for the reader.

Of course maybe some use individualism of a character as a warning to embrace traditional Japanese societal views.

It's common for male otaku to be into shows where all the characters are female. The reverse is true for female otaku. They become attracted to the characters in a similar way as they would to real people. The characters are not an extension of themselves, they are separate entities.

>Though maybe there are some more rebellious mangaka who do embrace more individualistic characters for the reader.
>Of course maybe some use individualism of a character as a warning to embrace traditional Japanese societal views.
Individualistic characters are a dime a dozen in manga, anime and games, and Japanese people aren't some kind of worker ant robots. You've been listening to too many hackneyed stereotypes about Japan.
>>
>>84474094
They try to adapt shit that is too tough to translate into the real world. That and anime fans are too fucking autistic to give even good adaptions a shot.

I mean why adapt something like Dragonball when you have properties like Claymore and Black Lagoon running around? It's nonsensical.
>>
A Gundam movie could work
>>
>>84481883
Claymore was basically dbz mixed with berserk.
Anime and manga don't try to make their characters look white, it's a drawing they go for style based on the character.

I still maintain that the human mind universally interprets cartoons as a projection of one's self not matter how communal a society is.

The themes and morals those stories teach is what differs.

He sorta has soft features for Josuke but overall I like the casting.

Jotaro looks great except he should be built like Stallone in Rambo and about a foot taller. But I mean that's just being picky because where the fuck are you gonna find a half-White half-Jap 6'4" man?

The Stands are actually surprisingly well done thanks to the decision to had the budget CGI by making them purposely transparent.

How? Those 3 panels feels more plastic than entire holywood and California combined, there isn't people who act or even look like that IRL

The point of a live action is to bring something closer to what it would look like in our world and not do some cosplayer indie-film type of shit
