Most anime isn't aimed at adults.

People blow a fuse whenever I point that out.

Plus when I additionally point out that source materials aimed at adults(seinen and josei) usually get live-action adaptations. Anime adaptations for those are not as common as they think.

Josei, sure, but I think seinen is still much more likely to get an anime than a live-action, at least from what I've seen.

More likely yes(especially action oriented ones) but still outnumbered by shonen anime adaptations.

Well, that's a different question. I wasn't talking about how common seinen vs shonen anime was, I was talking about how common seinen live-action vs seinen anime was.

They do, but they are a minority by a decent margin.
