No. Please no. Live action anything that was already an anime has never been good.

Rurouni Kenshin was decent and acceptable, pretty much all parts too.

But the anime also never involved absurd superpowers and just flashy swordfighting.

When talking about good anime to live-action people always trying to mention rurouni kenshin. Okay we get it but is that the only one, now how many failed anime to live-action that exist now? Surely the number is higher than the successful live adaptation.

Said this in response to the person saying "never".

If there were a billion failed live actions and one good one. That means it's not never.

That's why I said that it worked out well because the anime didn't involve absurd powers and thus it was easier to adapt.

For animes like Bleach, Naruto, MHA, etc to get good adaptations. You not only need at least MCU level studios, you'll also need a top tier director/s to make it not cringe. Low budget won't cut it.
