I'm glad people are bringing up G-Saviour as a counter example. Yes last time somebody tried to make a live action rendition of a mecha series that I can recall, the results were less than stellar. Plus finding good actors to portray the characters would be a big problem in Japan as from the Live Action Sentai and Live Action movies such as Battle Royale, I've noticed that young Japanese actors (who would be necessary for Sousuke, Kaname and their classmates etc.) have a tendency to overact, causing most scenes to end up comical regardless of intention.
