kokocho said: kindergraph said: jesus christ, do you people not read past the headlines? THIS IS A JAPANESE FILM FROM A JAPANESE DIRECTOR WITH JAPANESE ACTORS. the involvement of warner bros. doesn't make it any more american since it's being produced by its JAPANESE branch. lol this is what I was just about to say. Don't forget it was Warner Bros Japan who distributed the Death Note movies. I thought it'd be obvious just by seeing who is going to play Kenshin. It`s for safety measures. nobody wants to see a bad Kenshin movie XD XD XD |

As a huuuuge fan of RuroKen I can hardly wait to see this movie! There were some rumours about it last summer, and I'm so happy that they were proved to be true! I know adaptations like this might turn out bad as well, but since Sato Takeru is an excellent actor (plus Watsuki himself said he was the top on his list of "who could play Kenshin", so... :D) and the director did an awesome job on Ryoumaden I think it's gonna be all right this time :) This year is truly amazing for us, Kenshin fans, even if we don't get anything else (come on, re-releases, game, new anime, live action movie...) I think we cannot complain about this anniversary. The only thing left would be a manga, and a nice one-shot would be so great indeed... I wouldn't mind a break in the Embalming series :)) 'I think of my fellow men from the Shieikan as my lifelong comrades. My most proud and precious good fortune has been to have met all of you, Soji.' [Yamanami Keisuke, vice-commander, Shinsengumi]   |

Pixy-Stix said: Anyone who says the movie will suck because of Westerners is a weeaboo Or has basic pattern recognition skills. It's not simply the fact that white people are in the movie but rather the whole approach to adapting a property that occurs when Hollywood tries to co-opt anime. It's never worked out. /communist. Please go back to history class. Anyway, what does this have to do with anything? It's a Japanese movie. There have been plenty of Japanese live-action adaptations of anime before, so "Westerners" have nothing to do with this. BUY YUYUSHIKI BDS ALL DAY EVERY DAY |

Confucius said: Great, some white guy is going to play Kenshin Very white indeed Well yes Kenshin is very white indeed. I know your point was to point out how stupid confucius and a lot of people in this thread are for not reading anything beyond "warner" but upon seeing Kenshin I couldn't resist saying it. Bored and looking for something to read? Drop by The Ward where you come to get your boredom cured. |

o.o; I don't... I know it's going to be about the Edo Peroid, but I can mostly imagine it as just plain fun and special effects. Not a winner of a movie. Oh, and bring Aoshi ;)  |

Just ask Hugh Jackman, Australian as Logan/Wolverine, Canadian. If the movie sucks, it'll be because it sucks. Dragonball Evolution and The Last Airbender don't suck because Asians were replaced by Westerners. They suck because they're terrible movies. Seconded with every fiber of my being.  |

DBE sucked because they didn't take it seriously & tried to westernize it. Airbender sucked because Shyamalan is a self indulgent hack & tried to westernize it. This film will suck for entirely different reasons. I don't like Japanese live action adaptions any more than Hollywood ones. Japanese adaptions are cheesy & Hollywood adaptions are just plain insulting. They all suck for different reasons. Years from now when the comic book movies have completely dried up & they pounce on anime fans for their next payday, they'll start taking the material more seriously. Picture a Chris Nolan Evangelion........... *faints* |
