Why Anime Should Never Go Live


I've been watching a number of videos on YouTube involving the live-action version of Sailor Moon. Here's an example.

.....May I take this opportunity to ask why anyone in their right mind would want to translate anime into live action? It doesn't work, folks. There's a reason it's animated--it isn't supposed to happen in real life. Granted, this clip is from a children's show, but SciFi has been bouncing the idea around to create a live-action show based on the oh-so-not-children's show Witch Hunter Robin.

Please, TV producers, for the love of anime and all that is decent in this world, leave animated series where they belong.
