CATDOLL: 5 live-action anime settings: Is it so difficult to change from the two-dimensional to the three-dimensional?

Recently, Japanese anime has become popular with various live-action adaptations. For example, the live-action movie of "Attack on Titan" was supervised by the original comic author and made major changes. The Japanese TV series of "Death Note" is even more shocking. When it comes to the live-action adaptation of anime, in addition to whether the actors' appearance is suitable, the most worrying factor is that the live-action version changes the original setting or plot. Let's take a look at the mysterious changes in the settings of 5 live-action anime!

The Spiritual Teacher Shenmei

The 2014 Japanese TV series "Gami" is an example of a major overhaul, and its level of humor and sarcasm is comparable to the current Japanese TV series "Death Note" XDD. The background setting is changed from elementary school to high school students, which is understandable, maybe they couldn't find a milky elementary school student like Miki (no). But even Tamamo was changed from an antagonist to a friendly and nice person, and the appearance is very strange... Even to become Tamamo, a lot of olive oil has to be added.

Gambling Apocalypse

The story of the 2009 live-action remake of "Gambler" did not change much, and Tatsuya Fujiwara's performance as Kaiji was well received. However, when the cast was announced, the debt collector Endo who brought Kaiji to the dangerous gambling battlefield was originally a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses, but in the movie he was changed to a woman named Endo Rinko, which is really a mysterious change.

Tiger Mask

The movie "Tiger Mask" adapted from the old comic was broadcast in 2013. The biggest change was that "the protagonist wears a special enhanced tiger mask to fight." Although there is still a wrestling arena, it feels more like transforming into a hero.

Science Flying Man

The most criticized one in this list should be "Science Flying Man". The plot and performance were criticized very badly. The worst thing is that the basic "bird setting" of the original work is completely gone. The combat costumes are neither like the team heroes nor the metal heroes. I don't know why...

Parasyte

The character of Right-Hand Mickey in the live-action movie of "Parasyte" has become frivolous, but the biggest change should be that the protagonist Shinichi has become a mother-son family with only his mother. If I say more, it will be a disaster. But in the original work, the protagonist's father should be an indispensable character. I really don't know why the movie version has to change it like this...
