Hang on, I think the combination of my meds is making me loopy. I can't be seeing this correctly.

Yu Yu Hakusho Evolution then. Togashi will have to green-light a anime movie sequel to wash the bad taste out.

Live action series inspired by the manga by Yu Yu Hakusho. So it will not be a faithful series but with various changes compared to the original work.
The poster already does not convince me.

The visual in the article is from the 2019 stage play, not from the upcoming Netflix series.

That poster is from the stage play version.

Fortunately, because it didn't convince me.

However, considering that it's Netflix, which 50% does good series and 50% does bad series, or it will either be a good series or it will be crap, 50% chance.

I assume this is a Japanese production like Bleach and not a western production like Death Note.

It's being handled by the Japanese team and it is produced under ROBOT, the same production company behind Alice in Borderland. Heard good reviews about the show.

Looking forward to seeing how bad Younger Toguro looks in live-action Laughing In all seriousness,I have the same feelings towards this as the upcoming Cowboy Bebop live-action. I have zero expectations for it, and if it's terrible then I'll just go back to rewatching the original. A bad live-action isn't gonna make the original disappear.

I don't understand the phenomenon that is live-action anime adaptations at all, especially as they often seem to focus on series that are fundamentally difficult to do justice to with real-world physics and living critters. I would get it if they focused on, say, romance shoujo or something, where the same story could reasonably be told in live-action and it's an established franchise so there's a sense of capitalizing on a fan-base that definitely exists, but that rarely seems to be the case (unless I'm just missing a bunch of stories about live-action adaptations like that).

Is this just an echo of the film/movie industries strongly preferring to recycle old ideas over developing new ones? Is there some other reason for it? I cannot imagine that any competent investor can look at a new anime-to-live-action adaptation and think, "Yes. That kind of thing has done well in the past and will probably work."

Or.. maybe I'm wrong? I've never actually looked; despite being generally atrocious, do anime live-action adaptations somehow pull decent profits, in some sense?

I would say it’s because -

1. It is much easier to hype people with an existing IP, no matter how small, than make something from scratch.

2. The comic property well worth adapting has been pretty much tapped. So go East.

Bunch of pointless flame bait and troll posts, or responses to them, are gone. Nobody says you have to be a fan of the news, but simply posting "this is gun suk yo" type posts adds nothing to the conversation. It's the same crap posts every time a live action adaptation is announced. Either post some actual thoughts and discussion or just move on please.
