Well, I've seen SMLA and the Boogiepop Phantom live action thingy, and It's going to take an awful lot to motivate me to explore the area any further. SMLA was awful of course, but I was expecting that. What is far more significant, (albeit also expected) is that the live-action Boogiepop was a bit pathetic. The anime is of course fantastic, but the dominant thoughts when watching the live action were of the type "Sapphire and Steel does this sort of thing so much better."
As a general rule, British television is the best in the world, with the field of animation being a very notable exception. I see no evidence that there's another exception from what I've seen. We do have really good live-action television over here, and I suspect that's the difference. Though if someone has seen things like the Second Coming and can identify something that can stand amongst them, then I'll gladly give the field another shot.
