Do we really need live action series?
I have been watching Anime since I was a kid. My first anime was Dragon Ball, Akira, Shincan, Pokémon, Beyblade and more.
As someone who loves Anime and has deeper knowledge in the industry, we don’t need a Solo Leveling live action series. 90% anime fans will agree with me here.
Every anime-based live-action series is are flop, except for One Piece. That only happened because it was reviewed by Eiichiro Oda himself and he took many breaks from manga, making sure that live action series won’t disappoint the fans.
Let’s be honest, I have zero faith in Netflix nailing an anime live action series. But hey, this is just my opinion.
