or, take an anime vs live action series of the same show. GTO for example, is ridiculous. However, the cartoon is meant to be ridiculous since it's a spastic comedy (much like something like Dragon Half an WB cartoons). However, when translated into live action, it's terrible.
Now, for something like Die Hard, I'd rather watch Live action over anime, since a lot of times, action animes aren't up to live action par unless it involves something that live actors can't do, or something that looks stupid with CGI. Case in point, gunsmith cats is boring, but Cowboy Bebop is great, because of the futuristic setting, ships and outer space action. Trigun is cool because of how good a shot Vash is. Now take kung fu. Animated kung fu is a lot of times subpar. I think the only examples of animated kung fu I like are Cowboy Bebop and Dragon Ball.
Now, if I were to watch a drama, I'd much rather watch live action than anime, since a lot of times, drama animes seem to have lower budgets since there's a lot less action and a lot less special effects. The animation looks boring and/or lower grade. On top of that, they use a lot of "poignant" still frames to express emotion, which translates to lazy animators and a boring show.
