Sidenote: You gotta love how the Body Improvement Club are all so good to Mob. They carry him back to the club room when he passes out. They come to rescue him when he gets kidnapped. They actually care about him even though he's not a typical jock like them.
@Rock Ruin Oberon One of my all time favorite BIC moments is when Goda refused to let Shibata step on Mob's head so he block him w/ his body & then delivers a speech about how great Mob is & how he motivates them, it's just such a great scene.
Yeah they aren’t the “training club”. They care about improvement, if someone is a good human being and want to improve that’s like the best possible friend for them. He’s motivational to them because he passes out before he can even begin to build muscle but he still tries. They are good people and mob is as well. Although a big part of who they are them being buff strong guys isn’t completely who they are. Lots of people are horrible but most people are good so even some random people could be your best friend
@@ignoremypaststupidity2719 They are the 'Body Improvement Club' & Mob joined the BIC to be more athletic to impress Tsubomi. Plus it's not like calling them the 'Training Club' is incorrect, since training would be improving your body & whenever they are on screen they are always working out.
It also kinda makes Mob look more assholish in this scenario because he already wanted to enter the fitness club and Tome is lonely and actually passionate about what she does, so that makes it look like he gave her false hopes
Netflix would ruin Mob Psycho, like for the people who watch it on a anime streaming app like vrv or Crunchyroll would have to either pay for Netflix or watch it on a free online streaming site. Thats not the only issue, it’ll most like stop doing dubs, so for the people who like dub, well they’ll never see it again
@@user-uw4zt5bo4d I want as much animes on Netflix since I live in Israel and there is no vrv no Crunchyroll no anime shows or anything so I might buy a VPN for 10$ then a vrv for 10$ then I'll have to pay 20$ per month to watch anime... When I use my family Netflix account free...
I groaned when the telepathy club was introduced in episode 2 of the anime, I actually wanted to drop the show because I was so pissed because it so soooooo obvious Mob was going to join the club and I hated how they were beating around the Bush. I was pleasantly surprised
Daniel shore hey don’t say anything bad about my girl Tome 😤👊 Well if I’m being honest I didn’t really like her or telepathy club until I read the manga so I mean I get. She’ll definitely shine next season and if they do a movie on the spinoff manga.
they made mob out to be a creep in this version smh actually they broke his character so hard that if you did the drinking game for every time he broke character, you'd die on episode 1
0:49 - When I realised the character in that frame is _supposed to be_ Reigen, I immadiently undetstood why adapting this into live action was a bad idea.
They also made Reigen look really weird, not as in, weird but hot like in the manga/anime, but weird weird. No disrespect to the actor but light colored hair really doesn't look good on him lmao
I like how the joke sort of carries forward in the anime by having the Body Improvement Club being genuinely great guys. It sort of acts as a counter-punch to the trope of "really muscular people are always jerks" that we may also expect (though that may be more common in western media).
Yeah man, and they're so open to making new friends and helping people. They always encourage Mob, went to try and rescue him, gave the school bully a chance at redemption etc.
I have to say.. in Mob psycho 100... The body improvement club is the best thing. How they care for mob. How they help and support him. It is so awesome. XD
Something I had to say...Tome's actress....seems too attractive...the idea i got from the anime is while Tome is not UGLY, she also really isn't that cute looking either. She tries to be, but it doesn't work because she just doesn't have enough that makes others find her attractive. The actress....she looks like someone i'd expect to be the main love interest. The other reason is the body improvement club guys...well they seem pretty standard muscle wise. Which is very bland compared to the muscular characters in the anime
Its almost like anime only works half the time because animation lets people use more extreme proportions designs and scenarios to be frank the idea that its a good idea to make a live action version of any animated piece of art is an insult to said piece
I've heard a lot of bad things about the Netflix adaptation of Mob Psycho 100, but I didn't think it could get THIS bad. I mean, the thing about this single joke is that not only is it brilliant and subversive to the tropes we normally expect from anime, but it's the first in a domino effect that pretty much kickstarts the entire plot of the series. Not only that, but Ritsu has no point in being in the scene at all because even though his position in the student council is what begins his character arc, it wasn't an important part of the story at that point. I mean seriously, how do you screw that up? I know they were working on a TV budget, but I've seen fan-films of popular sci-fi franchises with better special effects.
I think they just see their audiences as dumb and thus need to clearly sign "Hey! These guys aren't actually bad! And their club is what Mob needs to better himself! He should totally join them!", like as if we couldn't notice by ourselves.
The thing is, it's not the bad special effects, it's just the bad adaptation of the story that makes this suck. Bad CGI can be overcome with good story or writing, but this is just bad all around.
@@mikayari185 Actually, wait, let's do a checklist: Ritsu - he tries to fight Mob when he becomes powerful enough to fight at all - check Teru - fights with Mob when he's introduced - check Dimple - fights with Mob when he's introduced - check Only Reigen is in the main cast and never fought Mob. Damn, I never noticed it works like that before you comment
Netflix has money to burn but not the inteligence to check what they invest on. think of Netflix as the "Greenlight" of TV Series... just a whole lot of trash and some decent stuff here and there.
To quote South Park: "Netflix, you're greenlit." . . . "What the hell did we just greenlight?" Edit: If this was truly already in production before Netflix got a hold of it, then this quote might not be valid.
Left out the hilarious follow up; that the Body Improvement Club lets the Telepathy Club hang out in the room anyway because they only needed it to store their exercise equipment
They forgot like most claw members, not to mention they forgot the main boss and his son which means they can’t make a season two, good job netflix! e.e
I just find it so wholesome that this series showed the main character trying to improve himself physically and his jock friends supporting his small victories. It could’ve easily just gone with nerdy introverts as the supporting characters as I initially expected but this is such a fun and oddly rare subversion. This show is great on its own but I really love how it sends positive messages about self improvement and healthy friendships.
Whenever I found out about the mob psycho live action series I thought that Netflix had added the original so I was like “oh cool that show was great! That sounds fun to rewatch!” Then I realized it was live action and pulled out at light speed and avoided it like my father avoided child support.
The beautiful part of having the body improvement club framed as the villains during the delivery of this joke is that they turn out to be super great guys. They genuinely care about improving themselves, and when Mob askes to join, they support him wherever they can. They break every jock stereotype of the "brainless bodybuilding thug" that we see so often, and wholehearteddly support Mob despite how weak and frail he is by comparison. They're the exact opposite of the swol, dickweed, gym-rat type of character, and you end up actually looking up to them as heroes. Oh, and they're also pacifists. Their whole point of getting fit is for self-improvement, not for harming others. They really are the best part of the series XD
One is a mastermind of parody. He is showing us a whole chapter of the "usual manga stuff" satisfying the reader. And in a single punchline he makes everybody realise how dump it actually is (the producers of the live action movie seemingly excluded). That's some genius level parody criticizing the medium in a constructive way.
i guess the logic is that it's greatly better to do crazy big effects and shit on animations because you basically have 100% creative freedom while shooting with real people, real props is immensly harder to pull off without it looking like a goof or a mess.
i also hate how they actually portray mob in this live action. They show him as constantly nervous and fidgety, but lets be honest, he really isn't like that. He's got his times of being anxious or shy, yeah, but he's generally just emotionless and bland, not pissing his pants as soon as someone looks his way. Even when the actor is idle, the expression on his face makes him look nothing short of uncomfortable and worried, about what?? mob is a very passive characters and generally doesn't react to much; so why does he jump any time something happens? live action anime has gotta stop fr
I never knew that they made a live action adaption and god just watching you review and show clips of this movie make me cringe so hard. The mob psycho anime/manga is a true masterpiece and it's a shame that netflix had to tarnish the source materiel so badly.
Wait... they made a live action MP100?????? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard... one of the greatest things about MP100 is the art style and the animation (for the anime)... the facial expressions of all of the characters are so important and it's impossible to transfer them into live action, not to mention how live action always fucks up what special powers look like. What a terrible idea.
Sabrina Murray It is definitely not impossible to make special powers in live action look good, Just look at the the Marvel Cinematic Universe, America has a good hold on it
Just when you thought the FMA movie was devastating... By the way, thank you for saving me, MB. I never watched Mob Psycho and was curious because of how much you seem to love it and guess what? I downloaded the first episodes on Netflix yesterday and was about to give it a shot. I can only imagine how much this series can destroy the image of the show for those who are curious about it and will have the live-action as their first Mob Psycho experience...
しるまいなるみ I just watch Netflix often, saw a familiar name, reminded how great the source material was (how much praise it got from MB) and decided "hey, why not give it a try before looking for the anime?"
But live action anime ALWAYS SUCKS! Anybody who goes for live action anime as their first introduction to a series is fucking demon spawn... no offense :P
Just go for the anime. MB gives it high praise and it is so well deserving of all of its praise. One of the best animes of 2016. You should definitely watch it.
Advice is don't watch live action anime first, no matter what platform it happens to be on. It takes the whole experience, throws it in front of a train, burns it at the stake, then launches it to the fuckin moon 😅
Not really, the budget of Dr. Strange would have been enough honestly seeing as Mobs visuals can work on a budget. What truly matters is the writing and acting, if one of those suck then no amount of money can fix it as proving with DC.
Wow, we might actually have a serious contender to challenge Dragon Ball Evolution for it's long held title of the worst ever anime adaptation ever made.
Wait so The Last Airbender wasn't a serious contender for that title? I mean I'd probably still give it to Dragonball, but The Last Airbender is definitely a real contender in my opinion.
Because there is a chance it won't be so poorly done. Live action, Animation, Manga, Written Novels, games, radio dramas.... they all have different skills and unique tools that only work in their medium. We as fans WANT to see an anime made with all the strengths live action can offer. The problem is sheer laziness and incompetence. Things animation can do are lost when we make live action, and they adapters forget to make good use of tools that animation can't.
No work is too technically-incompetent to not be fun to watch someone tear into, especially if the person tearing into them knows the technical aspects of the medium. Though I'll admit that plenty are too blandly bad to be fun tearing into...
It's even worse! That shot at 9:45 isn't neutral; it's slightly higher than the tallest guy there. On average, that puts the frame above looking down. That's the kind of thing you do when you want to tell the audience that the subject matter should be looked down upon. Consider the anime framing nearly a second later. It's frame is lower than the shortest dude even with him crouching angled upwards. That's how you convey a sense of power or fear to the audience, as in they should fear the power of the subject matter. In short, the live action scene does the EXACT OPPOSITE of the anime, making the tallest dude there look short and feeble while the anime makes the short dude look big enough to beat the crap out of you. And the anime really sells it, as one of the guys literally angles his head back even more to really bring in that sense that, yes, they really are looking down on Mob and the club, but more importantly the audience after ostensibly sizing both groups up. And he's not wrong: I wouldn't mess this those guys either.
The anime wasn't nearly as reliant on its animation as Mob Psycho was when it came to delivering gags. A lot of episodes played out like a bizarre sitcom, so there wasn't as much of a struggle translating that into live action.
That shaved head guy from the body builders club is my favorite anime character of all time. There's never a single scene where he doesnt look ready to wrestle an alligator.
6:50 I love this setup, along with the reveal that they are all top-tier Good People and Really Cool Dudes. They are supportive and encouraging of Mob, even though they're way ahead of him, fitness-wise.
horaciosi That’s a pretty good movie. Although it was adapted based on the light novel and not the manga... While it is significantly more light hearted, and doesn’t share the same message as it’s source.
All that aside, are we not gonna talk about how 'Mob' looks like he's in his 20's and 'Reigen' in his late 40's. Mob's supposed to be in middle school and Reigen is 27 :/
i think mob's actor is actually his voice actor which is probably why they chose him, like they did with the stage play (which actually is very good! go watch that instead!) but it just does not work here
What was good about mob psycho 100: The comedy The display of the characters The Animation The story What does the drama mess up: The comedy The characters The story and it is not animated but rather played by bad actors.
I feel you about the bad acting, the Japanese cares more about the fame and appearance more than than abilities. Not that it is different everywhere. But in the west mostly an actor to be massively popular he/she must be good looking and atleast passably talented for acting (mostly). In Japan an idol, a mediocre singer with image entirely supported by PR tropes and have mediocre talent for singing can lend her/himself a cozy acting gig because of their mayfly singing career. Again not that in the west such practices are unheard of but imagine entire cast of a show picked by this method. And it doesn't help that they usually try to cramp in most iconic piece of the medium they try to adapt, not just scenes but motions and sounds, which work on anime an manga being drawn but look forced and unnatural in a live action.
I honestly forced myself through the first two episodes, had to stop a couple of times, but I honestly f**king broke the moment they brought out animated Dimple in live action... I'm not the most expressive person in daily life - but I was wheezing out loud...did not expect that, at all...
"Hey, we got the rights to Mob Psycho 100, what should we do with it?" "Do the likely least expensive option and put the already great anime on Netflix for ease of viewing alongside with One Punch Man and keep fans happy?" "Nah, let's make a live adaption that no one asked for!" GENIUS!
I mean if you really think about it, it's a metaphor for how scumbags can really be lighted in such a good way that we somehow just expect them to be good people (for cultural stereotypes). In the end the most genuine and nicest people ended up being from the body improvement club, who would've thought having a healthy lifestyle led to a healthy mindset
I recommend Gintama,Rorouni Kenshin,ajin,and maybe black Butler for live action. And old boy from Korea. Edit:OMG😰 thanks for the likes,and SENPAI NOTICES ME!!
Rorouni Kenshin fails as a movie imo because it tries to combine 3 good plots into 1 movie. there's a giant plot hole in it with the stand-in for Udo pretending to be kenshin and killing people and basically doing what the Hiruma brothers were doing. There's no reason for this. Not to mention Sanosuke's fight at the end with henchman #3 is a boring and dirty mess that has no choreography. it just looks like the director said "ok, i don't know how fights should go, so you two, just punch each other for a good five minutes". Also, Infinite Ammo pistols, in a feudal meiji-era story, is just lazy and stupid and makes me wonder why the story was even done. the costume design and acting were well done, but the story and fight choreography were lackluster at best
I'm really impressed with MP100 on a different level: you would think it would be really hard to sell a show centered around a protagonist not liking a gift that literally every other person alive would kill for, but surprisingly it works really well
I love how they animate the characters showing a hierarchy, the people who aren't as popular are drawn as small, teachers are drawn as a bit taller that the unpopular students, and popular students are animated to be tall
As someone who has watched the whole live action, this is actually one of the BETTER things they did. If you want a small list of a FEW of the things they fucked up: here ya go! Over half of the claw members are cut out Dimple defeats the weird black hole guy at the end by... absorbing his powers? No shou is ever introduced When mob is supposed to hit 100% sadness after fighting teru, ritsu shows up out of nowhere and helps him so he never reaches it He doesnt even fight Teru in his school, it's some random abandoned warehouse Ritsu and Tome are with him when he fights Dimple, who he actually kinda struggled to fight against During the alley fight, which again instead takes place in a warehouse, it never shows how he reaches only 7% or so while defending ritsu, nor how the counter shoots up when ritsu gets hurt All of the weak espers powers are mixed up. Predicting girl has fire powers, the twins can create a barrier and so on Reigen, instead of geniusly conning all of the lackeys, which by the way there are none cause the final fight takes place in the FUCKING SCHOOL, instead somehow trickes everyone because he walks with a 'limp', which apparently the boss also walks with. Turns out that he only got gum stuck on the bottom of his shoe and was trying to scrape it off They tried to set up some big plot twist by having masked gravity guy turn out to be this old takoyaki guy mob gets takoyaki from every now and then During his fight with Teru, when Teru attacks him with glass, which mind you undermines the whole symbolism of psychic powers being like knives, he actually grabs the glass and ATTACKS HIM BACK. goodbye pacifism i guess! Also he never hits ???%, only 100% Teru doesnt have his giant wig, the true biggest crime I have more, but ill leave it at that for now Edit: just remembered another one! There's a love triangle between Mob, Ritsu and Tsubomi
Tome is the only one that's actually interested in the paranormal, telepathy to be precise, in the manga there are two whole arcs dedicated to her interest in telepathy. I'm not defending the live action but saying the "whole point of her character"is to be someone who isn't interested in the paranormal and that she only has a "passing interest in the paranormal" isn't true at all. (9:22) What's more in episode 2 Inukawa (dude with the thicc eyebrows) literally states "It seems the president really believes in telepathy, but honestly, yeah, I just want to goof off" further separating her approach to the paranormal from the rest of the club. But yeah sorry to nerd out like that but I really felt like pointing it out, this adaptation sucks big balls and Netflix should just invest in having the right to the anime so I can show it to my friends.
That is true, still, we're not supposed to see it at this point of story yet. We really are supposed to see telepathy research club as kinda one whole being at the first. It's "telepathy club" talks with passion about researching supernatural while what "telepathy club" is actually doing is wasting time and wasting club funds on snacks, so "telepathy club" starts to look somewhat hypocritic to us. It's only later in the story that we see that Tome really is passionate about telepathy, and 3 other guys just wanna play videogames together after the classes. Yet conveying this at this point of the story, when Mob is joining the club, would be very much irrelevant and only add some confusion to the joke. God i love Mob Psycho 100, it's so well written.
Vylca huh, sooo, this story sucks in the tv show and the manga according to your explanation. Or, maybe you dont get the joke either, just like the tv series doesnt.
mindlesstube, actually, the dosage is really small, when they use it (it's only some flu shots that still use thimerosal (which btw is a benign form of mercury). You'd get more mercury from just eating a tuna sandwich.
• 2 ppb mercury is the mandated limit in drinking water • 200 ppb mercury in liquid waste renders it a toxic hazard • 25,000 ppb is found in infant flu shots
This joke is actually what made my wife and I keep watching Mob Psycho 100. We were kinda iffy on it (due to the unusual animation and other things) up until Mob joined the body improvement club that we realized that this show was going to be glorious. One of my favorite anime of all time.
Sometimes I feel jealous of Jeff’s large successful channel, then I remember he has to watch shit like this just to put food on the table and I realise I would never want to do this.
"Live action anime suck." I disagree live action gintama was acceptable and live action ace attorney game was in my opinion really good. Note the point of this comment is to show that is possible if there is EFFORT PUT BEHIND IT.
I think it's fair to say that live-action anime adaptations tend to be made with about as much passion as and a significantly lower budget than the typical Hollywood zombie franchise.
They are all almost always just way crappier retreads of their sorce material. Besides ace attorney which was a visual novel where stuff can be approved but thats better done in anime then live action imo because ace attorney character tend to look really stupid when made into real life
Duwang Man The fact that AOT Season 2 was delayed while the godawful movie was being produced is because they are made by different studios with different time constraints.
I remember people were so excited to see this and I was just baffled as to why. The anime is quirky, cute, and heartfelt, and the styles match the tone of the show so well, not to mention that the art is really pleasing to look at and watch. I really couldn't understand how they could tell the story effectively in any medium but anime (and manga of course).
but tome does have genuine interest in the supernatural. shes the only one who does in the club, but because none of the members care she gives up. eventually tome and mob go esper hunting, remember? in the live action's case where tome doesnt have any lazy club mates that influenced her to become less interested, it portrays her passion for the occult well. i'd say this actually created a reason to join the telepathy club in the live action. but yeah i agree i just wanted to point that out. its i guess, to me, a plus for tome's character but it indeed ruined the joke as a whole
Re: facial expressions, have you watched the Kakegurui live action adaptation? They really seem to wish that humans could contort their face the way that they did in the anime.
My wife made me watch an episode of this. I showed her the anime. Our netflix account shows "play episode 2" for over a year now and we will most definitely never click on it ever.
Because by adapting a popular series into live-action, you get a cut of the money that the original makes by doing less effort production-wise (because live-action is arguably easier to make than animation), and doing even less effort on the plot and characters because you're essentially just borrowing them. Hell, you don't even need to advertise as much since the original is already popular to begin with you're almost GUARANTEED to get the money back. It's the equivalent of reaction videos on TH-cam.
I think you made this video just to praise that body improvement club gag done in the manga and anime, which is very well justified, my brother and I laughed and enjoyed that subversion so much.
watched the first six episodes with friends and yea live action mob psycho is genuinely beating "13 reasons why" in "worst shows ive ever seen". ritsu is just in every scene for no goddamn reason, dimple sounds like he's being held at gunpoint to record his lines, they cut the teru fight with reigen hooking up with some random woman (maybe the most ooc thing so far)
He could've just said "he joins the body building club instead of the telepathy club, glossing over the actual meat of the joke, but then he'd have missed the entire point of the joke, just like the adaptation. The joke isn't the punchline, it's the entire episode, and you CAN take 2 minutes to explain an episode.
Someone explain to me again why live action adaptations are even being made? I mean the material is already there to watch and what do people hope to accomplish by trying to compress the infinite possibilities of animation down to the limits of real actors and sets that simply can only be so expressive?
Phileas Liebmann Basically, trying to make more money off a product. Needless to say, Live Actions tarnish the reputation of the series because A-The vast majority of designs and images of anime and manga don't translate well into a low budget cosplay, B-Even if they get a series that could work as a real life film (like Monster, great series btw) the directors tend to do an amateurish job at best and the cast doesn't tend to shine precisely, so it gets ruined anyway. Live Actions in general tend to be fucking horrible because the source material isn't good for that kind of thing. But they just don't get it, do they...?
There are a lot of people in Japan who would happily watch a stupid drama but would not be caught dead watching an anime (at least an anime that was made by someone not named Miyazaki). Manga is mainstream in Japan, but anime can still be pretty niche and nerdy for a lot of people.
Something interesting I noticed though is how some people continuously delude themselves by always saying "Well, but that Death Note movie (obviously not the Netflix one) was pretty good and Rounin Kenshin rocked, so maybe this one...". Why do some people not accept that those were just really lucky flukes were a capable director was handed amazing material and got a cast, that can actually act, and keep bringing these up as though they are a reason why live action adaptations have a reason to exist? This is really perplexing.
Phileas Liebmann I always find it hilarious when people make that argument, because those are adaptations which are over 10 years old and literally make up the 1-2% of adaptations which weren't total garbage. There are so many bad adaptations out there that it's not even funny anymore, many existing without people having ever heard of them due to how bad they are. As of now, the chances of a live action anime adaptation being good are so slim, that there's hardly any reason to be optimistic about it. Hell, I don't even think that the Japanese Death Note adaptations are as good as some make them out to be. My favourite adaptations probably are Crows Zero 1 and 2 and they don't even have an anime to compare to.
Well in this case (and a lot of other cases) the original source material is a manga, so we should be asking "why even make an animated version when you could just read the original manga?" In any case the medium of anime doesn't the sole right to adapt from manga and there's no reason why there shouldn't be different interpretations.

I groaned when the telepathy club was introduced in episode 2 of the anime, I actually wanted to drop the show because I was so pissed because it so soooooo obvious Mob was going to join the club and I hated how they were beating around the Bush.
I was pleasantly surprised
I agree I think the telepathy club are the worst characters in the anime imo meanwhile the bodybuilders club are the best characters
You two are weird.
@@ThatGuyErazo agreed. all the characters are endearing as hell
@@mary-nc3bp the series wouldn't be what it is without those characters, so regardless of anyone's opinion, they're essential to the Anime and Manga.

Well if I’m being honest I didn’t really like her or telepathy club until I read the manga so I mean I get. She’ll definitely shine next season and if they do a movie on the spinoff manga.
they made mob out to be a creep in this version smh
actually they broke his character so hard that if you did the drinking game for every time he broke character, you'd die on episode 1

He looks so friggin old
@@austeyfrosty Ikr. He's supposed to be 28, but in the live action he looks like 30-40 :/

Dont be afraid to say it he is just ugly and old
Well its not his fault but the film makers should have chosen a better actor
Oh my god, they couldnt get any bigger guys for the body improvement club?
It's Japan, big muscle men are sorta rare.

well I mean, the body improvement club members are supposed to be middle school students, so. . .
I like how the joke sort of carries forward in the anime by having the Body Improvement Club being genuinely great guys. It sort of acts as a counter-punch to the trope of "really muscular people are always jerks" that we may also expect (though that may be more common in western media).
Cavouku I think it's pretty prevalent there too. I interpreted them being great guys as definitely being part of the joke.
Cavouku it’s my favorite part about the BI club: I feel like it’s possible to try joining a BI club
A bunch of wholesome dudes who just want to run and lift and are really welcoming and supportive. It’s so good.
Yeah man, and they're so open to making new friends and helping people. They always encourage Mob, went to try and rescue him, gave the school bully a chance at redemption etc.
KaiserzRul3 Not to mention carrying him back to the club room to rest whenever he passes out, it shows they really do care about him.
Why'd they make Mob look like Coconut Head from Ned's Declassified
Fucking underrated comment
Oh my god. Someone remembers Ned's Declassified.

I have to say.. in Mob psycho 100...
The body improvement club is the best thing.
How they care for mob. How they help and support him.
It is so awesome. XD
Tnecniw
I agree completely
@Ichicinco Negrosaki most likely
Now that season 2 has been announced, there's a brighter future for the franchise.
I mean, if they can fund shit like this, why I'm not their writer/director already? My script would be only one sentence: *Follow the panels*.
season 2 of mob the anime or this shitshow?

They ate it.
Gabriel Cook NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Its only about time before they butcher that
Minkerstin I've been getting that a lot
Something I had to say...Tome's actress....seems too attractive...the idea i got from the anime is while Tome is not UGLY, she also really isn't that cute looking either. She tries to be, but it doesn't work because she just doesn't have enough that makes others find her attractive.
The actress....she looks like someone i'd expect to be the main love interest.
The other reason is the body improvement club guys...well they seem pretty standard muscle wise. Which is very bland compared to the muscular characters in the anime
Its almost like anime only works half the time because animation lets people use more extreme proportions designs and scenarios to be frank the idea that its a good idea to make a live action version of any animated piece of art is an insult to said piece
I think the reason Tome looks like a main love interest is because the drama was trying to make her one. There’s a love triangle going on with Ritsu
Man I love the Body Improvement Club members. Total bros..
Titans JoJo literally the nicest people in the show
mob gets into a fight with enemy school gang, comes to save mob.
Body improvement club = bronzed gods
They are litterally ready to die for their club mate
They are absolutely the fucking best!
Mob's bowl cut was on point tho.
eeehhhhhhhh
Debatable
DBZMacky ehhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Wrong, it didn't do enough justice to Mob
"Did I just get hit by a bowl-cut?"
I've heard a lot of bad things about the Netflix adaptation of Mob Psycho 100, but I didn't think it could get THIS bad. I mean, the thing about this single joke is that not only is it brilliant and subversive to the tropes we normally expect from anime, but it's the first in a domino effect that pretty much kickstarts the entire plot of the series. Not only that, but Ritsu has no point in being in the scene at all because even though his position in the student council is what begins his character arc, it wasn't an important part of the story at that point. I mean seriously, how do you screw that up? I know they were working on a TV budget, but I've seen fan-films of popular sci-fi franchises with better special effects.
Some adaptations... Just wants to watch the world burn.
I think they just see their audiences as dumb and thus need to clearly sign "Hey! These guys aren't actually bad! And their club is what Mob needs to better himself! He should totally join them!", like as if we couldn't notice by ourselves.
The thing is, it's not the bad special effects, it's just the bad adaptation of the story that makes this suck. Bad CGI can be overcome with good story or writing, but this is just bad all around.
if the bodybuilder club is introduced like jojo villains doesn't that make every scene with them a jojo reference?
yes
the anime is a jojo reference like.. Mob fights most of his allies the first time they meet, just like JoJo works
@@mikayari185 The president of Claw is like freeza from DBZ when he shot finger lasers.
@@mikayari185 Actually, wait, let's do a checklist:
Ritsu - he tries to fight Mob when he becomes powerful enough to fight at all - check
Teru - fights with Mob when he's introduced - check
Dimple - fights with Mob when he's introduced - check
Only Reigen is in the main cast and never fought Mob.
Damn, I never noticed it works like that before you comment
@@mikayari185 lmao u think jojo is the first anime where the main character fights his enemies just to have them become his allie next arc
Why does this adaptation even exist
Money.
Blizzic why does anything exist proably for the lolzzzzz
Netflix has money to burn but not the inteligence to check what they invest on.
think of Netflix as the "Greenlight" of TV Series... just a whole lot of trash and some decent stuff here and there.
To quote South Park: "Netflix, you're greenlit." . . . "What the hell did we just greenlight?"
Edit: If this was truly already in production before Netflix got a hold of it, then this quote might not be valid.
so that we could see an ugly Japanese dude with a terrible bowl cut...
Left out the hilarious follow up; that the Body Improvement Club lets the Telepathy Club hang out in the room anyway because they only needed it to store their exercise equipment
and this is also said on Anime/Manga, it was well used on Live action

This World Is An Illusion What a smarta**, I meant that as a compliment btw :).
That’s actually a good thing though, now they can’t fuck the rest of it up.
Tbh it's for the better.
I just find it so wholesome that this series showed the main character trying to improve himself physically and his jock friends supporting his small victories. It could’ve easily just gone with nerdy introverts as the supporting characters as I initially expected but this is such a fun and oddly rare subversion. This show is great on its own but I really love how it sends positive messages about self improvement and healthy friendships.
Whenever I found out about the mob psycho live action series I thought that Netflix had added the original so I was like “oh cool that show was great! That sounds fun to rewatch!” Then I realized it was live action and pulled out at light speed and avoided it like my father avoided child support.
Pull Out Game: _Strong_
i love anime because it has so many elements that would not work any other way, especially not live action, idk why producers dont get it
The beautiful part of having the body improvement club framed as the villains during the delivery of this joke is that they turn out to be super great guys. They genuinely care about improving themselves, and when Mob askes to join, they support him wherever they can. They break every jock stereotype of the "brainless bodybuilding thug" that we see so often, and wholehearteddly support Mob despite how weak and frail he is by comparison. They're the exact opposite of the swol, dickweed, gym-rat type of character, and you end up actually looking up to them as heroes.
Oh, and they're also pacifists. Their whole point of getting fit is for self-improvement, not for harming others. They really are the best part of the series XD
can they just stop making live actions of anime.
Absolutely
no money
they need to stop making live actions of animes. all the live actions based off of animes (from what ive seen) are absolute trash!
Man, I wish.
Yes worst possible waste of money and effort
One is a mastermind of parody. He is showing us a whole chapter of the "usual manga stuff" satisfying the reader. And in a single punchline he makes everybody realise how dump it actually is (the producers of the live action movie seemingly excluded). That's some genius level parody criticizing the medium in a constructive way.
Who is this Mob you speak of, I only see the mighty White T Poison! All will be struck with awe at his incredible power.
A. S. Ranu White T Poison?! The legendary shadow boss of Salt Middle School?!
lenni marjomaa The very same. Unmatched by all other shadow bosses, with a strength beyond mortal men.

I think the comment was just a play on how the vid talked about netflix ruining the joke.
I usually predict stuff but when I saw that mob joined the body improvement club I was instantly saying that this was a great anime
i realized what was about to happen a second before he did it...that made em respect it alot
Yeah it surprised me too, I was expecting him to join the telepathy club.

Can't we get some animated adaptations of life action movies?
I feel like this would translate better at basically any level.
Pe pi Batman ninja ?
Pe pi the matrix has an animated adaptation called the animatrix
"91 days" is like an amalgamation of live action mafia movies.
Looper. Looper would make the best goddamn anime adaptation ever.
i guess the logic is that it's greatly better to do crazy big effects and shit on animations because you basically have 100% creative freedom while shooting with real people, real props is immensly harder to pull off without it looking like a goof or a mess.
i also hate how they actually portray mob in this live action. They show him as constantly nervous and fidgety, but lets be honest, he really isn't like that. He's got his times of being anxious or shy, yeah, but he's generally just emotionless and bland, not pissing his pants as soon as someone looks his way. Even when the actor is idle, the expression on his face makes him look nothing short of uncomfortable and worried, about what?? mob is a very passive characters and generally doesn't react to much; so why does he jump any time something happens? live action anime has gotta stop fr
I never knew that they made a live action adaption and god just watching you review and show clips of this movie make me cringe so hard. The mob psycho anime/manga is a true masterpiece and it's a shame that netflix had to tarnish the source materiel so badly.
Wait... they made a live action MP100?????? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard... one of the greatest things about MP100 is the art style and the animation (for the anime)... the facial expressions of all of the characters are so important and it's impossible to transfer them into live action, not to mention how live action always fucks up what special powers look like. What a terrible idea.
Just wait for live action OPM
oh dear
just one thing???
Sabrina Murray
It is definitely not impossible to make special powers in live action look good,
Just look at the the Marvel Cinematic Universe, America has a good hold on it
What do you mean "for the anime"? Mob Psycho has excellent animation across the board.
Just when you thought the FMA movie was devastating...
By the way, thank you for saving me, MB. I never watched Mob Psycho and was curious because of how much you seem to love it and guess what? I downloaded the first episodes on Netflix yesterday and was about to give it a shot. I can only imagine how much this series can destroy the image of the show for those who are curious about it and will have the live-action as their first Mob Psycho experience...
I'm curious as to why you decided to have the live-action Netflix adaptation instead of the anime for your first Mob Psycho experience...
しるまいなるみ I just watch Netflix often, saw a familiar name, reminded how great the source material was (how much praise it got from MB) and decided "hey, why not give it a try before looking for the anime?"
But live action anime ALWAYS SUCKS! Anybody who goes for live action anime as their first introduction to a series is fucking demon spawn... no offense :P
Just go for the anime. MB gives it high praise and it is so well deserving of all of its praise. One of the best animes of 2016. You should definitely watch it.
Advice is don't watch live action anime first, no matter what platform it happens to be on. It takes the whole experience, throws it in front of a train, burns it at the stake, then launches it to the fuckin moon 😅
THEY SHOULD HAVE MADE THE CHARACTERS ACTUAL MIDDLE SCHOOLERS, THE WHOLE SHOW IS CHANGED
I forgot they were middle schoolers looking at this adaptation smh
you sound kinda sus
Do you actually think the body improvement club looks like middle schoolers? Insane
Ed Sullivan yes they’re middle schoolers. The whole joke is that they workout so much they look a lot older and alpha because of the testosterone.
excuse me what?? would you not be a little upset if they made a live action of the original naruto and he was 20 years old instead of 13??
U would have needed the budget of infinity war to make a decent live action of mob psycho
Candyroxnrulz all of that animation would of left the company broke
Candyroxnrulz nah tbh you would need a budget so huge it would be multiple times as large as the budget of Infinity War just to make it half decent.
Or at least Dr strange
Not really, the budget of Dr. Strange would have been enough honestly seeing as Mobs visuals can work on a budget. What truly matters is the writing and acting, if one of those suck then no amount of money can fix it as proving with DC.
You dont need that kind budget if the writing is decent and the actors dont suck.
Wow, we might actually have a serious contender to challenge Dragon Ball Evolution for it's long held title of the worst ever anime adaptation ever made.

Shut up. The problem isn't that they're making live adaptations, the problem is that they aren't trying to make these adaptations good.
A good show: exists
Netflix: *its free real-estate*
Why do people keep giving live action a chance?
TyphoonZebra Because animation is for babies but the premise is neat
-some stupid Hollywood producer
Because Rurouni Kenshin did it right.
Cause Gintama was good?
Ecause sometimes they’re actually good?
Because there is a chance it won't be so poorly done. Live action, Animation, Manga, Written Novels, games, radio dramas.... they all have different skills and unique tools that only work in their medium. We as fans WANT to see an anime made with all the strengths live action can offer. The problem is sheer laziness and incompetence. Things animation can do are lost when we make live action, and they adapters forget to make good use of tools that animation can't.
No work is too technically-incompetent to not be fun to watch someone tear into, especially if the person tearing into them knows the technical aspects of the medium. Though I'll admit that plenty are too blandly bad to be fun tearing into...

It's even worse! That shot at 9:45 isn't neutral; it's slightly higher than the tallest guy there. On average, that puts the frame above looking down. That's the kind of thing you do when you want to tell the audience that the subject matter should be looked down upon. Consider the anime framing nearly a second later. It's frame is lower than the shortest dude even with him crouching angled upwards. That's how you convey a sense of power or fear to the audience, as in they should fear the power of the subject matter. In short, the live action scene does the EXACT OPPOSITE of the anime, making the tallest dude there look short and feeble while the anime makes the short dude look big enough to beat the crap out of you. And the anime really sells it, as one of the guys literally angles his head back even more to really bring in that sense that, yes, they really are looking down on Mob and the club, but more importantly the audience after ostensibly sizing both groups up. And he's not wrong: I wouldn't mess this those guys either.
Da_NKP lol
Saiki: I want to be normal and unnoticed, mob: I want to be normal and popular 😂
But hey. At least Tome's actor is really cute

Live action Cromartie high school was fun though.

Wjat? That's a thing? I gotta find it
The anime wasn't nearly as reliant on its animation as Mob Psycho was when it came to delivering gags. A lot of episodes played out like a bizarre sitcom, so there wasn't as much of a struggle translating that into live action.
It has a ton of talking which translates well to live action.
Such a rarity that one is. Even the dub is funny, THE DUB!
That shaved head guy from the body builders club is my favorite anime character of all time. There's never a single scene where he doesnt look ready to wrestle an alligator.

What was good about mob psycho 100:
The comedy
The display of the characters
The Animation
The story
What does the drama mess up:
The comedy
The characters
The story
and it is not animated but rather played by bad actors.
The animation is fantastic it stands out from other animes (in a good way)
I feel you about the bad acting, the Japanese cares more about the fame and appearance more than than abilities. Not that it is different everywhere. But in the west mostly an actor to be massively popular he/she must be good looking and atleast passably talented for acting (mostly). In Japan an idol, a mediocre singer with image entirely supported by PR tropes and have mediocre talent for singing can lend her/himself a cozy acting gig because of their mayfly singing career. Again not that in the west such practices are unheard of but imagine entire cast of a show picked by this method. And it doesn't help that they usually try to cramp in most iconic piece of the medium they try to adapt, not just scenes but motions and sounds, which work on anime an manga being drawn but look forced and unnatural in a live action.
I honestly forced myself through the first two episodes, had to stop a couple of times, but I honestly f**king broke the moment they brought out animated Dimple in live action...
I'm not the most expressive person in daily life - but I was wheezing out loud...did not expect that, at all...
they turned him into that goopy slime that you make in elementary school
"Hey, we got the rights to Mob Psycho 100, what should we do with it?"
"Do the likely least expensive option and put the already great anime on Netflix for ease of viewing alongside with One Punch Man and keep fans happy?"
"Nah, let's make a live adaption that no one asked for!"
GENIUS!
By the looks of it the live action version probably wasn't as expensive either...
I mean if you really think about it, it's a metaphor for how scumbags can really be lighted in such a good way that we somehow just expect them to be good people (for cultural stereotypes). In the end the most genuine and nicest people ended up being from the body improvement club, who would've thought having a healthy lifestyle led to a healthy mindset
I recommend Gintama,Rorouni Kenshin,ajin,and maybe black Butler for live action. And old boy from Korea.
Edit:OMG😰 thanks for the likes,and SENPAI NOTICES ME!!
You goddam right
Tyrone Williams Or any adaptation of any shojo manga. Hana Yori Dango, Hana Kimi and the currently on going Hana Nochi Hare series.
Tyrone Williams I recommend Ben-to for live action (because a ridiculous reason for a free for all brawl would be perfect for live action)
Only drama and shojo can be expected to be adapted right, some action as well.
Rorouni Kenshin fails as a movie imo because it tries to combine 3 good plots into 1 movie. there's a giant plot hole in it with the stand-in for Udo pretending to be kenshin and killing people and basically doing what the Hiruma brothers were doing. There's no reason for this. Not to mention Sanosuke's fight at the end with henchman #3 is a boring and dirty mess that has no choreography. it just looks like the director said "ok, i don't know how fights should go, so you two, just punch each other for a good five minutes". Also, Infinite Ammo pistols, in a feudal meiji-era story, is just lazy and stupid and makes me wonder why the story was even done.
the costume design and acting were well done, but the story and fight choreography were lackluster at best
A anime: really good
Neflix: LET'S MAKE A REAL LIFE VERSION!
I'm really impressed with MP100 on a different level: you would think it would be really hard to sell a show centered around a protagonist not liking a gift that literally every other person alive would kill for, but surprisingly it works really well
I love how they animate the characters showing a hierarchy, the people who aren't as popular are drawn as small, teachers are drawn as a bit taller that the unpopular students, and popular students are animated to be tall
I want you to go further. Watch more. Tear it apart. Feast on its entrails

If Jim Carrey was the MC i would probably watch it
As someone who has watched the whole live action, this is actually one of the BETTER things they did. If you want a small list of a FEW of the things they fucked up: here ya go!
Over half of the claw members are cut out
Dimple defeats the weird black hole guy at the end by... absorbing his powers? No shou is ever introduced
When mob is supposed to hit 100% sadness after fighting teru, ritsu shows up out of nowhere and helps him so he never reaches it
He doesnt even fight Teru in his school, it's some random abandoned warehouse
Ritsu and Tome are with him when he fights Dimple, who he actually kinda struggled to fight against
During the alley fight, which again instead takes place in a warehouse, it never shows how he reaches only 7% or so while defending ritsu, nor how the counter shoots up when ritsu gets hurt
All of the weak espers powers are mixed up. Predicting girl has fire powers, the twins can create a barrier and so on
Reigen, instead of geniusly conning all of the lackeys, which by the way there are none cause the final fight takes place in the FUCKING SCHOOL, instead somehow trickes everyone because he walks with a 'limp', which apparently the boss also walks with. Turns out that he only got gum stuck on the bottom of his shoe and was trying to scrape it off
They tried to set up some big plot twist by having masked gravity guy turn out to be this old takoyaki guy mob gets takoyaki from every now and then
During his fight with Teru, when Teru attacks him with glass, which mind you undermines the whole symbolism of psychic powers being like knives, he actually grabs the glass and ATTACKS HIM BACK. goodbye pacifism i guess! Also he never hits ???%, only 100%
Teru doesnt have his giant wig, the true biggest crime
I have more, but ill leave it at that for now
Edit: just remembered another one! There's a love triangle between Mob, Ritsu and Tsubomi
Tome is the only one that's actually interested in the paranormal, telepathy to be precise, in the manga there are two whole arcs dedicated to her interest in telepathy. I'm not defending the live action but saying the "whole point of her character"is to be someone who isn't interested in the paranormal and that she only has a "passing interest in the paranormal" isn't true at all. (9:22) What's more in episode 2 Inukawa (dude with the thicc eyebrows) literally states "It seems the president really believes in telepathy, but honestly, yeah, I just want to goof off" further separating her approach to the paranormal from the rest of the club.
But yeah sorry to nerd out like that but I really felt like pointing it out, this adaptation sucks big balls and Netflix should just invest in having the right to the anime so I can show it to my friends.
That is true, still, we're not supposed to see it at this point of story yet. We really are supposed to see telepathy research club as kinda one whole being at the first. It's "telepathy club" talks with passion about researching supernatural while what "telepathy club" is actually doing is wasting time and wasting club funds on snacks, so "telepathy club" starts to look somewhat hypocritic to us. It's only later in the story that we see that Tome really is passionate about telepathy, and 3 other guys just wanna play videogames together after the classes. Yet conveying this at this point of the story, when Mob is joining the club, would be very much irrelevant and only add some confusion to the joke.
God i love Mob Psycho 100, it's so well written.
Vylca huh, sooo, this story sucks in the tv show and the manga according to your explanation. Or, maybe you dont get the joke either, just like the tv series doesnt.

• 200 ppb mercury in liquid waste renders it a toxic hazard
• 25,000 ppb is found in infant flu shots
A Monster live action show directed by Guillermo Del Toro would be awesome. I hope he’s still down for it
This joke is actually what made my wife and I keep watching Mob Psycho 100. We were kinda iffy on it (due to the unusual animation and other things) up until Mob joined the body improvement club that we realized that this show was going to be glorious. One of my favorite anime of all time.
Sometimes I feel jealous of Jeff’s large successful channel, then I remember he has to watch shit like this just to put food on the table and I realise I would never want to do this.
This adaptation has a lot to offer, I recommend you watch it for yourself, at least up through episode three.
"Live action anime suck."
I disagree live action gintama was acceptable and live action ace attorney game was in my opinion really good.
Note the point of this comment is to show that is possible if there is EFFORT PUT BEHIND IT.
I think it's fair to say that live-action anime adaptations tend to be made with about as much passion as and a significantly lower budget than the typical Hollywood zombie franchise.
Ahem, rurouni Kenshin? Hello?
They are all almost always just way crappier retreads of their sorce material. Besides ace attorney which was a visual novel where stuff can be approved but thats better done in anime then live action imo because ace attorney character tend to look really stupid when made into real life
BeThomsen well that goes without saying.
gintama was decent and got good laugh from me
ruroni kenshin was awesome
Spent 12 minutes explaining the same joke twice.
Gotta hit 10 minutes somehow
Yeah, pretty glad you can skip forward through stuff
guy in his 20’s explains how a joke is funny for 12 minutes and 23 seconds
Gay
@@SoraJack wow buddy you are a clever one huh
@@astolbro7183 no, it was what I thought was the most appropriate response because it was about what the op deserved. Meaningless dribble.
@@SoraJack wow i dont know how you think that reply made you look better dude
@@astolbro7183 no idea what you mean
Can make a live action that no one wants, but can't put out season 2 that everyone wants
You know Mob Psycho 100 Season 2 has already been announced, right?
Transmutation Circle Attack on Titan season 2 was announced, but it got delayed many times while there was no problem making a live action movie.
Duwang Man They're made by different studios.
Jarmo Verriet I know, but I don't know how that affects my argument
Duwang Man The fact that AOT Season 2 was delayed while the godawful movie was being produced is because they are made by different studios with different time constraints.
I remember people were so excited to see this and I was just baffled as to why. The anime is quirky, cute, and heartfelt, and the styles match the tone of the show so well, not to mention that the art is really pleasing to look at and watch. I really couldn't understand how they could tell the story effectively in any medium but anime (and manga of course).
I feel like this dude just spent 7 minutes saying the same idea over and over again in different ways.
I had to skip through because I couldn't listen to him trying to explain a joke for 7 minutes. Yikes.
Well he only watched one episode and has to break 10 minutes, so yeah it's not gonna be a quality vid.
Did he watch even beyond the first episode or 2? Wow !!!!
Gotta hit 10 minutes somehow..
Dennis F I did. Turns out its still terrible! The anime is just better overall
Just started watching Mob Psycho 100 a week ago, glad i started when they started making episodes for season 2
same, we don't have to wait as long which is good
ya bots I watched after a year. Yes. I’m late
but tome does have genuine interest in the supernatural. shes the only one who does in the club, but because none of the members care she gives up. eventually tome and mob go esper hunting, remember? in the live action's case where tome doesnt have any lazy club mates that influenced her to become less interested, it portrays her passion for the occult well. i'd say this actually created a reason to join the telepathy club in the live action.
but yeah i agree i just wanted to point that out. its i guess, to me, a plus for tome's character but it indeed ruined the joke as a whole
Why couldn’t they just put the anime?? I was gonna try to watch this but I don’t think I’m strong enough.
Because animation is for kids and crap like that?
Timothy McLean that makes no sense, what about all those adult cartoon like family Guy, BoJack Horseman, etc. They aren't for kids.
Victory 101 He was being sarcastic.
Satan's left nut I know but he/she was also using it as a reason to why they didn't put the anime on Netflix and I disagreed with said explanation.
James Lopez fr like I need my son and that live action Mob is NOT him
Re: facial expressions, have you watched the Kakegurui live action adaptation? They really seem to wish that humans could contort their face the way that they did in the anime.
AnimeOtaku2
B-list actors trying to adapt edgy gross-out fetish-bait to 3D? What could possibly go wrong?
My wife made me watch an episode of this. I showed her the anime. Our netflix account shows "play episode 2" for over a year now and we will most definitely never click on it ever.
You did the right thing, so proud of you TuT
Why would you make a live action anime, it literally makes no sense and it will always be inferior to the original
MaverickDoesEveryhing because it is not anime adaptation, the source is a light novel
Gambit FH technicalities
Because by adapting a popular series into live-action, you get a cut of the money that the original makes by doing less effort production-wise (because live-action is arguably easier to make than animation), and doing even less effort on the plot and characters because you're essentially just borrowing them. Hell, you don't even need to advertise as much since the original is already popular to begin with you're almost GUARANTEED to get the money back. It's the equivalent of reaction videos on TH-cam.
The rurouni kenshin movies are pretty solid.
The Rurouni Kenshin movies and the Erased drama were both good

"Live-action anime adaptations always suck."
*Cough*Rurouni Kenshin*Cough*
Also Edge of Tomorrow
The actual story arc the telepathy club goes through was the biggest surprise in the manga probably. I loved it so much!
12 minutes of high quality analisis of 2 minutes of content.
Nice work.
I actually saw the trailer a while back. I luckily forgot this atrocity existed, but thanks for reminding me. :(
Wow. I don't watch much anime and I don't read much manga but you really explained this perfectly.
I think you made this video just to praise that body improvement club gag done in the manga and anime, which is very well justified, my brother and I laughed and enjoyed that subversion so much.
watched the first six episodes with friends and yea live action mob psycho is genuinely beating "13 reasons why" in "worst shows ive ever seen". ritsu is just in every scene for no goddamn reason, dimple sounds like he's being held at gunpoint to record his lines, they cut the teru fight with reigen hooking up with some random woman (maybe the most ooc thing so far)
I liked it when you took almost two minutes to explain a joke of the original media. It felt like a good use of time.
ok
He could've just said "he joins the body building club instead of the telepathy club, glossing over the actual meat of the joke, but then he'd have missed the entire point of the joke, just like the adaptation. The joke isn't the punchline, it's the entire episode, and you CAN take 2 minutes to explain an episode.
Hahahahahaha
Someone explain to me again why live action adaptations are even being made? I mean the material is already there to watch and what do people hope to accomplish by trying to compress the infinite possibilities of animation down to the limits of real actors and sets that simply can only be so expressive?
Phileas Liebmann Basically, trying to make more money off a product. Needless to say, Live Actions tarnish the reputation of the series because A-The vast majority of designs and images of anime and manga don't translate well into a low budget cosplay, B-Even if they get a series that could work as a real life film (like Monster, great series btw) the directors tend to do an amateurish job at best and the cast doesn't tend to shine precisely, so it gets ruined anyway.
Live Actions in general tend to be fucking horrible because the source material isn't good for that kind of thing. But they just don't get it, do they...?
There are a lot of people in Japan who would happily watch a stupid drama but would not be caught dead watching an anime (at least an anime that was made by someone not named Miyazaki). Manga is mainstream in Japan, but anime can still be pretty niche and nerdy for a lot of people.
Something interesting I noticed though is how some people continuously delude themselves by always saying "Well, but that Death Note movie (obviously not the Netflix one) was pretty good and Rounin Kenshin rocked, so maybe this one...".
Why do some people not accept that those were just really lucky flukes were a capable director was handed amazing material and got a cast, that can actually act, and keep bringing these up as though they are a reason why live action adaptations have a reason to exist?
This is really perplexing.
Phileas Liebmann I always find it hilarious when people make that argument, because those are adaptations which are over 10 years old and literally make up the 1-2% of adaptations which weren't total garbage. There are so many bad adaptations out there that it's not even funny anymore, many existing without people having ever heard of them due to how bad they are. As of now, the chances of a live action anime adaptation being good are so slim, that there's hardly any reason to be optimistic about it.
Hell, I don't even think that the Japanese Death Note adaptations are as good as some make them out to be. My favourite adaptations probably are Crows Zero 1 and 2 and they don't even have an anime to compare to.
Well in this case (and a lot of other cases) the original source material is a manga, so we should be asking "why even make an animated version when you could just read the original manga?" In any case the medium of anime doesn't the sole right to adapt from manga and there's no reason why there shouldn't be different interpretations.
Thank you for putting all my confusion/mild anger at this series into a good & coherent review.
Tbh I didn’t laugh at the joke, didn’t even realize it was a joke really, just a great scene
