They are both different, so I'm not gonna ask you what you prefer. I just wanna know what you watch more of.
It's hard to pick. A good story is good regardless of what it is.
I think I'll have to pick live-action though, if I had to force myself. I think a lot of the visual effects typically tend to have a bit more 'wow' to them for me. Animation has more charm sometimes, but I feel more impressed with good VFX in live-action than animations. Also animation has come a long way, a really long way, but they'll never top a real human being when it comes to emotion. Also, Lord of the Rings is live-action so that was really the tipping point. The only real animation I've absolutely adored was The Last Airbender and I'm not really into Japanese cartoons so yeah, live-action for me.
I'm almost certain that The Last Airbender is Western Animation, not Anime.
But Merc said it's Japanese which it's not. That's pretty much what "Anime" means; Animations from Japan.It's an American cartoon that's anime-inspired.
