A live-action adaptation of Macross

[Invid99]

Would it be better if Korea in collaberation with Japan or China did it instead of Hollywood? I feel America cannot deliver the emotional tone of Macross like asian countries can. Especially Korea. Anyone seen Illang: The Wolf Brigade, the korean adaptation of Jin Roh? Koreans are on a good steam nowadays with the Hallyuwave and Kpop, and they proved with Illang they can make a very dramatic, and solid movie adaptation of a anime.

Movie? No thanks. DYRL is perfect and a real classic. A live action Macross movie it's gonna be inferior in all the ways possible.

Now a TV series... that could be a lot more interesting.

Agreed.

You mean like a live-action series? Man, imagine the budghet it would require for all the CGI stuff

CG's cheap. Far cheaper than just about anything else, including hand illustration.

Hard pass... anime in general very rarely translates well to live-action.

Macross is definitely not the kind of story that lends itself well to live-action adaptation.
