It bears repeating that the few negative reviews include several outlets like Polygon who are mad the show is too faithful to the manga.
Once the strike is resolved with a fair deal for the writers and actors, we are going to see a lot of optioned anime IP’s fast tracked for film and television shows.

Since the “One Piece” live-action was successful, there is absolutely no excuse for any future anime-to-live action adaptations not being able to hit the mark. I don’t want to hear the argument that the change in medium is the problem because that was exactly what people said about “One Piece”, and the show turned out fine.

as the hours of our beloved CLAMP day wind down, I ask all the CLAMP fans on this hellsite...
does anyone know where I can watch the 2022 live action xxxHolic movie? I've been dying to see it since it was announced, even more so since it was released, but I haven't been able to find anything anywhere. I have a sinking suspicion that it might be locked behind Crunchyroll and its premium paywall if it is anywhere, but if it exists in a digital form there, then it must be somewhere else available on the internet.
please...I just want to see some silly live action Watanuki shenanigans and whatever interpretation of the later chapters of the manga it was able to cover..........
help a CLAMP girlie out

Imagine this chain of events:
1) “One Piece” live action is a massive success. Apparently, it broke a lot of Netflix records and outperformed “Stranger Things” and “Wednesday”.
2) A few months later, Netflix’s live action “Avatar the Last Airbender” also turns out to be a success. (For the sake of this post, ATLA’s success is more of an add-on rather than a requirement).
3) HBO sees Netflix’s success and immediately looks for anime shows to adapt. They quickly adopt Netflix’s strategy for “One Piece” in that they’re gonna bring in the original author as an executive producer. To compete with Netflix, they pick “Bleach” and “Hellsing” mainly because those shows are dark, which fits HBO’s style.
4) Simultaneously, Amazon does the same thing as HBO and Netflix. They pick “Naruto” and “Fullmetal Alchemist” as their shows.
5) Last but not least, Disney Plus gets in on the craze. Since they’re family friendly, they go with “Sailor Moon” and “Dragonball Z” (obviously, Disney already has experience with action-adventure franchises with super-powered people).
The end result: Because of Netflix breaking the anime-to-live action curse with “One Piece”, they cause a butterfly effect that ushers the return of the era of 2000s anime.
