You might not be a fan of live action anime on Netflix

Live Action Anime on Netflix &#8211; Ranked

Netflix has spoiled us with choice as it keeps bringing new live-action anime
adaptations for us. The streaming giant might not have the best library of
live-action anime. But after Netflix’s Japan Festival 2021
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-festival-japan-2021-recap-every-announcement-and-all-details-netflix-news/],
fans can hope for an increase in the number of options available.

However, this isn’t a solution to the problem that fans face, i.e. lack of good
options on Netflix. But we have made a list to make your job a little less
hectic so that you can enjoy the cream of the crop. Some mentions on the list
might not have been released yet.


4. DEATH NOTE

Death Note has made countless people fall in love with anime. Most people
consider it a perfect fit for a newbie, but Netflix horribly messed up this one.
Despite the engaging plot provided by the manga and no need for heavy special
effects, Netflix somehow got it completely wrong.

Fans criticized the movie for its horrible casting, as they saw their favorite
anime losing its authenticity. The 2017 Death Note received an abysmal 4.4 IMDb
rating for its dismal performance.


3. FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST

It is a wonderful story about two brothers who are in search of the
Philosophers’ Stone to revive their dead mother. While the 2017 movie will have
a sequel, it doesn’t inspire enough confidence to watch the second one. One
reason for the failure of the movie [https://www.netflix.com/in/title/80223731]
could be because the pacing isn’t up to the mark.


2. BLEACH

Fans of the sword-wielding spirit hunter wanted a reboot of the original anime.
But when they saw the live-action adaptation, they understood why they should be
careful while making wishes. Although Bleach isn’t the absolute worst in the
live-action adaptation genre, there is certainly room for improvement.


1. RUROUNI KENSHIN

This is the best live action adaptation available on Netflix. Thus, it sits atop
the list. The movie follows Himura Kenshin, a former assassin who seeks
forgiveness for his past sins but ends up in the same mess because of an
incident.

Any lover of samurai flicks should definitely consider watching this franchise
of five films. All the films have an IMDb rating of around 7.5.


LIVE-ACTION ANIME SERIES

We have ranked the top live action anime movies available on Netflix. But if you
want something which will keep you hooked for a longer time, then Netflix has
announced a bunch of live-action anime series.

Alice in Borderland is a good option for viewers who want to watch the Japanese
version of “Squid Game
[https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-is-squid-game-overrated-heres-what-fans-think/]“.
Netflix has also announced live-action series of popular animes like “One Piece”
and “Yu Yu Hakusho”.

And there is “Cowboy Bebop” which Netflix released on November 19th. Thus, the
dark days are behind us.
