This is a little thought experiment I had while watching Yu Yu Hakusho and thinking about the special effects of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. What if there is a live-action TV show inspired by successful anime cartoon shows (Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, to name a few)? Is it possible the show can be able to use anime animation elements (you know when anime characters fall over when dumbfounded, people's eyes change depending on the mood, or lines or shapes to signify commotion, all that stuff you know of that can only come from anime) and still look good? How will it influence TV shows, anime, and so forth?
POD: Post 2000 because technology is more appropriately adequate from that point on.
