I say this because I've noticed that a large number of manga have live-action adaptations, many of which aren't very well-known or don't have much value outside of Japan. Obviously, in the case of Attack on Titan, AoT, Jojo, Gintama Cutie Honey, Sailor Moon, Devilman, etc., it's noticeable because of their fame and overall style; you can see that they are adaptations. But there are also many more grounded live-action adaptations like Old Boy, MW, Sanctuary, Dragon Head, Himizu, which many people don't even know are live-action adaptations.

Eu tenho uma relação meio complexa. Dentre os autores clássicos, como Shotaro Ishinomori ou Osamu Tezuka, as obras do Go Nagai foram as que eu mais li e menos gostei. Óbvio que é inegável o quanto ele foi importante não só para múltiplas demográfias como também para vários gêneros, mas tirando Devilman, Violence Jack(ao qual só li metade) e Getter Robo(apesar de muito da graça do manga ser por causa do Ken Ishikawa), eu realmente achei a maioria mediana para baixo. Isso que eu nem peguei os ecchizão fodidos. Só que curiosamente, eu tenho muito interesse nos spin offs, animes e alguns live actions das obras deles. Cutie Honey mesmo parece ter um anime e live action muito divertidos e os animes de Mazinger Z também parece bem interessantes. Mas mostrando que o ser humano as vezes gosta de sofrer e não se ajuda, eu vez ou outra sempre acabo lendo algum manga dele(geralmente os que foram traduzidos recentemente). Agora mesmo estou lendo Jushin Liger e parece que ele fez uma speed run, pq o negócio rushado

Besides the fact that my inner child never completely died and my eyes light up when I see guys in armor and plastic weapons fighting with CGI effects that, even though cheap, end up being incredibly cool, something I really enjoy is how a children's series manages to address so many interesting and adult themes, directly and indirectly. We've seen things like the consequences and effects of war, dehumanization, maturation, the weight of actions, suicide, and even metaphors for drug trafficking. All this in a way that doesn't seem overly edgy, but without losing its impact. It's not as much compared to other media, but every now and then I see some people saying, "You still think this is for kids? It has deaths and heavy themes!", when I, personally, think it's really cool that a children's series addresses certain themes better than many "serious and mature" series.

I hope it's not just my bad memory, but I don't remember exactly when this was mentioned, but it's something I've been thinking about lately.
