실사화 — 애니메이션, 만화, 게임이 실제 배우가 출연하는 영화나 드라마로 각색되는 것.

実写化 announcements are often met with dread and skepticism from fans, as live-action adaptations of anime and manga have a notoriously mixed track record. The casting choices, special effects, and compressed storylines frequently disappoint. However, some adaptations like Rurouni Kenshin have been praised. The term is often used semi-negatively in fan discussions.

実写化的消息经常让粉丝感到恐惧和怀疑,因为动画和漫画的真人改编一向口碑参差不齐。选角、特效和被压缩的剧情经常令人失望。不过也有像浪客剑心这样获得好评的改编。在粉丝讨论中,这个词往往带有半负面的色彩。
Los anuncios de 実写化 suelen recibirse con temor y escepticismo por parte de los fans, ya que las adaptaciones a imagen real de anime y manga tienen un historial notoriamente irregular. El casting, los efectos especiales y las tramas comprimidas suelen decepcionar. Sin embargo, algunas adaptaciones como Rurouni Kenshin han sido elogiadas. El término se usa a menudo de forma seminegativa en las discusiones de fans.
実写化(짓샤카) 발표는 팬들에게 종종 두려움과 회의의 대상이 되는데, 애니메이션과 만화의 실사 각색은 평가가 극명하게 갈리기로 악명이 높기 때문이다. 캐스팅 선택, 특수효과, 압축된 스토리가 자주 실망을 안긴다. 하지만 바람의 검심 같은 일부 작품은 호평을 받았다. 이 용어는 팬 논의에서 다소 부정적으로 쓰이는 경우가 많다.
