There are frequent shows that are originally Anime and made into Drama (Live-Action).
There is a thread in Anime to discuss which medium one would prefer.
This is a different topic.
If you have already watched it in one medium, do you actively search to watch it in the other medium? Or do you avoid it?
I have noticed that after watching an anime version, I become very tempted to catch it in live-action.
Gintama, Ansatsu Kyoshitsu, Parasyte
even if the anime wasnt the best
Death Note, Ouran High, Hagenai
or if the live-action is trash
Shingeki no Kyojin, Ghost in the Shell
of course, I do drop live-action if they become way too trash
Lovely Complex
However, I tend to avoid anime if I had watched it first as a live-action, even if it was enjoyable.
such as Nana, Nodame Cantabile, Rurouni Kenshin
I feel like its because I enjoy the plotline and upon completing a live action, I find it a hassle to watch 12, maybe 24 episodes of an anime knowing the outcome.
there are exceptions, which piqued my interest
such as Kuroshitsuji, Initial D
On the other hand, seeing animation taken into real life is slightly more interesting, watching a familiar cast accurately portray a character (or not) is fun, and more likely a shorter more abridged version (and so more tolerable even if the plot remains same)
tldr. does watching a show in a certain medium (anime or drama) affect whether you will watch it in the other? why?
anime makes me wanna explore drama. drama does not make go back to drama.
