There are too many good stories to watch the same one again with a different look. Even if they do it well, I’d rather watch something else for the first time.

After the fallout with the original creators, I have no interest in the live-action version. I’m holding out for their movies.
I think there are many reasons Netflix might mess it up, but this one doesn’t worry me at all. At the time they announced it, I thought “ouch, either the show is shaping up bad, or it isn’t but they got something else more important going on”.
And then like a month later they announced the creation of Avatar Studios, with Nickelodeon funding them to lead whatever projects they want, so I thought “there you go!”. Even if the Netflix show looked to be amazing, they would have been very silly to pass that up.
Good point
I'm hopeful, but not expecting much. Both the movie that ~~wasn't~~ made, along with travesties like the Wheel of Time live action have made me really damp down my expectations for anime->live adaptations.
I’m going to take the “wait and see” approach for this one.
I watched the OG series many years after it came out, and have the same tolerance to do it with this one too (assuming it survives long enough and is worth watching).
Same. I'm waiting to see what people say before I watch. I don't want to waste my time. Especially after the original creators left.
