I'll admit it @queen_marceline DBM is interesting. A lot more interesting than DBS that's for sure.

Damn it's times like these where I really miss Kishimoto's art style. The new guy I'm trying to give a chance to but his art style feels full of unnecessary details.

Honestly, ONE's art isn't even bad after the first 50 or so chapters. His art for Garou vs Saitama was legitimately good as well.

Black Clover is literally everything that is Fairy Tail and Naruto is but actually done correctly and fairly. The environment and setting makes sense, all the characters are balanced out fairly, and the ones that are broken have limitations, and the main character is a clone of Naruto but although you feel sorry for him, you can actually root for him since he isn't obsessing over the other main character who's actually a main character as opposed to a character who affects the story too much which is Juno who is Sasuke's equivalent but drastically different. Check out Black Clover, the fights are a tad bit more interesting, but not as detailed, and it has a surprisingly decent plot once you really get into it.(it seems bland after the first two or three chapters but it gets so much better.)

Edit: One other thing, is that his main power that he has, isn't freaking broken like Naruto's and isn't an asspull, he actually uses it skillfully.

Black Clover is unashamedly cliché though. Like clichéd as hell and we're just in the beginning stages of finding out about his power so I wouldn't go as far as to say it's not broken. I can agree about Juno though I like him.

@redbird3rdboywonder: That's the issue, it's one big huge cliche, but an actually enjoyable one, it's a cliche that copies Naruto but actually does it right. Like for example Team 7 had like what, two freaking missions and then we immediately got to chunin exams then go through some emo sasuke bullshit, and they didn't even make sasuke appealing. They just made him this asshole who wanted revenge against the leaf. Everyone thought Bakugo in Boku No Hero Academia was gonna turn into another Sasuke but ended up not doing so. He ended up being a legit rival with his own fair share of issues. Same thing with Juno. It's like everyone is taking bits of Naruto and improving on it in areas. That's why I like all these cliche animes, especially when they are copy and pastes, because they usually copy a premise or a character and just make it sooooo much better. Black Clover is literally my new FT/Naruto, and it could be better right now, but i am patient enough to wait for it to get even better.

Well to me Fairy Tail has been garbage from the moment I read it so Black Clover being better than it isn't too hard. As for being pulling certain things from both series and doing them the right way, I believe the author went back and studied both series after his/her's original series Hungry Joker(which started off great) was cancelled

So, if this new Boruto anime is canon, that byakugan that Boruto has in the future seems like it's his own. Or at least, he has some weird half-byakugan going on atm.

Can someone explain to me the appeal of a live-action anime adaptation? I just don't get how a fan of an anime would want to see it in live-action. Isn't half of the appeal of anime the actual animation? The story/plot/characters will likely be just the same as the anime as best and horrible interpretations of the original anime at worst.

There's some things I do wish got live action adaptations but I mainly wanted another story set in the universe. It isn't manga but if they ever make something like a Witcher TV Show that was in talks, That sounds awesome, it just shouldn't be about Geralt.

Maybe some also feel like there series will gain more popularity? I'm not sure, but I agree with you. Adaptations generally suck, and the first thing I've seen with the above (2016's Assassin's Creed) also sucked.

Eh, sometimes an adaptation will be worth it, but it's very rare. Great Teacher Onizuka's live-action adaptation was just as good, if not better than the anime/manga.

I did specify anime adaptions since I feel that video game adaptations at least could be pretty cool if done right. The shift of focus on the story and being able to see action scenes outside of gameplay would be worth seeing. My problem is that adapting a live-action anime doesn't add anything new that anime doesn't have already. If they adapt an anime show that is even 12 episodes long, turning it into a 2 hour movie will always just end up with a watered-down product. Not to even mention trying to turn great visual anime into live-action will not always work out either.

A popularity gain doesn't seem worth it when the movie may make the source material look bad.

I doubt they are better than the manga, but which one of the live-action GTO adaptions? I know it's honestly silly, but I usually get turned off by the lack of blonde hair. I may check one of them out when I'm bored.

@primez0ne: I believe it was the newer version, never saw the 1998 version. They mixed multiple characters together, but it was very charming and silly, while keeping the vibe from the original series, but in a more grounded form.

Apparently it's from the same bloke who made Shirobako so I'll probably get round to it eventually.
