[edit] Live Action Anime

Contested prod. The previous version was mostly a POV rant against live-action versions and general information about one forthcoming live actions movie. An anon tried to clean this up, but the article as it currently is can easily be converted into a category. Any information the article could contain should (theoreticallly) either be placed in Tokusatsu or Japanese television drama or Live action.--Kunzite 00:35, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

• Categorize and redirect to Live action per my reasons above. --Kunzite 00:45, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't mind deleteing and categorizing, but live action remakes of anime and manga isn't confined only to Japan, City Hunter and Initial D are examples of official live action remakes that are not Japanese. --ColourBurst 01:03, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

That's why I suggested Live action as the redirect point. --Kunzite 03:26, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I agree, when I opened the article I wondered if it was a category I was looking at. --HResearcher 06:54, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment Isn't anime, by definition animated? By your definition, the recent cinematic release of the Lord of the Rings should then be live action animation, since it was originally animated. --Xrblsnggt 02:27, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

That could be fixed by changing the name to something like live action adaptions of anime. --Edgelord 02:43, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

(It's not my definition. --Kunzite 03:26, 4 August 2006 (UTC))

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions. -- TheFarix (Talk) 03:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
• Move to a better title or simply categorize per above. — Dark Shikari ^talk/_contribs 10:45, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and improve: The page seems consistent with the relevant list guidelines. It's not a page I would personally read, but I can't think of a policy or guideline against it, and it seems to fit in with the other anime lists. TheronJ 17:28, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
• Categorize - Wickning1 14:51, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and improve, if it hasn't been improved by end of August re-list for deletion. Daniel.Bryant 06:21, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to Live action. There seems to be fairly little sense in having two articles on almost the entire same subject.—♦♦ SʘʘTHING^(Я) 08:14, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
• Categorize it is already a low tech version of a cat. --CTSWyneken^(talk) 13:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Categorize per comments above. ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 23:39, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
 Please add new discussions below this notice. Thanks, TheFarix (Talk) 02:28, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

• Comment relist? It looks like there already is consensus. 132.205.93.88 04:33, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Yes, but the AFD was already over 16 days old when I relisted it. Either the closing admins do not know exactly what the consensus is or they just overlooked it. --TheFarix (Talk) 20:34, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. I think this is a topic that is alright to be kept. There is a difference between live action anime and say live action comic book adaptations or live action cartoon movies. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sfezfilms (talk • contribs) .
