Does anime need to start being more politically correct for overseas audiences? Twitter debates

2020-02-21T16:00:00Z

I think the joy of something from another land is it’s different from what is the norm here .

The List - 5 Anime We Most Want to See in Live-Action

by Lynzee Loveridgte & Jacki Jing, Feb 23rd 2020

Anime That Should Have Live-Action Adaptations.

Man…out of those 5, Berserk would be the obvious choice. The rest is just too ‘Japan’-centric, for good or ill. Berserk with it’s western European setting would click with not only ‘western’ audiences but with the investors as well

But we have The Witcher already, so too little too late.
And we had The Bastard Executioner a few years ago as well.
Plus don’t forget The Last Kingdom on Netflix too.
And Knightfall…with Mark Hamill.
