The setting for Eizouken takes place sometime in the 2050s, and it's often implied that Japan has become more racially diverse by that point. There are signs written in multiple languages (not just in Japanese but English, Spanish and I think French as well) and you can see students with much darker skin tones than you'd normally see in anime. The student council's secretary is named Sowande Sakaki, and "Sowande" is a Yoruba name (Yoruba is a language spoken by the Yoruba people of west Africa, specifically from Nigeria and Benin). So yeah, it's really not a stretch to say that some of the school's population would be black. |

Are they going to use animation for the various flights-of-fancy that we see in the anime like the dragonfly in episode one? What about the giant robot animations? I'm a bit surprised the write-up in the article didn't mention any of this. Are the live-action producers collaborating with an animation studio?

Yeah this really is an odd choice. For one thing people who are interested in a show about anime are obviously going to be interested in anime, ergo they'll almost certainly will have watched the actual anime, but the opposite can't be said... It just seem like the audience will inevitably be less than the anime.
On top of that, one of the main draw of the anime is the imagination sequence. It would make no sense to do these in CG, so they'll have to do them in anime form. So they'll be doing a live action of an anime focus story that will already have been adapted in anime form with large segment using anime... I just don't understand why they'd chose this story out of all possible story to adapt to live action? What's next, a stage play? |

I mean sure until you realize that animation is created by real breathing people and not other animated people.
Popular works are more likely to get adapted and this series (or at least the anime) seems to be popular. |

Looking at the stills linked above it doesn't seem likely. In one still where they're all wearing camo bags and the helmets they wear when creating with their imagination they're just standing in a real bunker instead of a drawn one. Emerje |

Credit where credit is due, I stand corrected. I’m glad. Still, having idols play Midori and Kanamori seems off... |

^ Aye, that's very cool to see.
This reminded me of some of the comments in this thread: https://blog.sakugabooru.com/2020/02/22/keep-your-hands-off-eizouken-04-07-production-notes/
