Im a bit nervous for this. Im on book six and I love this world but I can’t see how they’re going to make it a live action show. I feel like an animated show would be so much easier to fix the style and visuals of the books.
Matt Dinniman had this to say about that concern: “We talked about it. I think if you poll a lot of the hardcore, original fans of Dungeon Crawler Carl and said, ‘Would you rather have live action or animated?’, most people would say ‘animated.’ But if you poll the normies on the street [I’m booing too, reader], you’ll get 80%+ saying they want live action.”
So they’re trying to reach a bigger audience. I will say I am hopeful, Seth MacFarlane had some excessive CGI the Orville, and it actually looked decent. So hopefully we get good CGI in a live action Dungeon Crawler Carl.
The only possible way to do it justice was animated. Hope they prove me wrong, but they’re going to have to compromise massively somewhere to do it in live action w/ CGI.

I read the manga so far and it works pretty good. But it’s more on the low effort side when it comes to manga.

Just finished book 8 and agreed. Can only hope that Matt has a heavy hand on production to at least make it as close as he envisions.
There’s no way that the incredible multitude of races, abilities and fucked up things can be portrayed in live action without a gigantic budget.
