First, recognize that most of these are live action adapted from manga or light novel, not anime.
Once you recognize that, there are tons of manga/ranobe witch live-action adaptation, and no anime adaptation at all.
There are tons of good live-action adaptation, but mostly only with realistic settings. Shoujo, josei, and seinen media gets live-action adaptation, but not anime.
Some example of good one:
- Nodame Cantabile
- City Hunter (any version are interesting, from Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Hongkong (with Jackie Chen), even French live-action adaptation)
- Alice in Borderland (had so many changes from the manga, especially for games that are too Japanese, possibly to make it easier for global audience?)
- Great Teacher Onizuka
- Gokusen
- Bloody Monday

Most of Japanese produce Netflix live-action adaptation from manga and light novel are relatively well-received.
From Alice in Borderland, Kimi ni Todoke, City Hunter, Yu Yu Hakusho, Maiko-san Chi no Makanai-san, Nobushi no Gourmet, etc

Absolutely incorrect tho.
First: Technically this is live-action adaptations of light novel
Second: There are tons of live-action from manga and light novel that are hugely popular, it’s just never reach anime-centric Western audience. Like Meteor Garden, City Hunter, Nodame Cantabile, Rurouni Kenshin, Imawa no Kuni no Alice, Kimi ni Todoke, Liar Game, and so on.
Which live-action did you watch? Most of international fans outside Asia and anime-centric casual fans only watch badly adapted live-action from shonen action manga.
Most of live-action are relatively well.
Judging manga/light novel live-action adaptation as all bad is like watching live action of cringe teen Western vampire novel then thinking all live-action adaptation from novel are all bad.
