Considering where 'Death Note' and 'Cowboy Bebop' went wrong, what do anime fans need to fully embrace future attempts at live-action adaptations?
Anime fans everywhere have been faced with continuous disappointment when it comes to live-action adaptations of their favorite shows. Television and film versions alike have seemed to regularly miss the mark while attempting to fully immerse the targeted audience. Two perfect examples of this arise from Netflix’s Death Note and Cowboy Bebop.
A great example of this is how Light is able to masquerade as innocent for so long in the anime and manga due to his popularity and intelligence, while in the film adaptation he is written to be a bullied kid with lackluster grades. Those specific traits within the original content also feed directly into the ever-growing God complex he develops as he continues using the book to kill and manipulate those around him.
After seemingly learning from the mistakes of live-action past, Cowboy Bebop attempted to directly translate the characters personalities to its actors but failed to facilitate a more grounded version. This left many fans to find their mannerisms exaggerated, cheesy, and lacking the nuance that was so crucial in the original anime. Additionally, the main group's driving force of loneliness bringing them together seemed to be lost to a friendship arc.
With all of that in mind, a long-running series that truly took its time to slowly divulge into the purpose of whatever anime it attempts to recreate would likely be much better received. Rather than rushing into the excitement and action found in later seasons of the source, a first season that carefully built the structure necessary to convey that purpose would be a great start.

Pollution causing more deaths than COVID, action needed, says U.N. expertPollution by states and companies is contributing to more deaths globally than COVID-19, a U.N. environmental report published on Tuesday said, calling for 'immediate and ambitious action' to ban some toxic chemicals. The report said pollution from pesticides, plastics and electronic waste is causing widespread human rights violations as well as at least 9 million premature deaths a year, and that the issue is largely being overlooked. 'Current approaches to managing the risks posed by pollution and toxic substances are clearly failing, resulting in widespread violations of the right to a clean, healthy and sustainable environment,' the report's author, U.N. Special Rapporteur David Boyd, concluded.
