i'm not sure about this live-action.
the OVA itself contains hentai (except for "Kite Liberator"). And since it's being directed from a good director, i hope this live-action would be non-explisit like the OVA. ;)

Another American adaptation that will possibly never see the light of day?

Nah, that would mean nobody in Hollywood cares even a little about anime... Oh, wait, that's right. They don't.

Wait! This movie I have heard have lots of underage sex(12) which is not accepted in most societies.

Yeah...... Not that I watch live action, but this is RETARDED!

I notice a lot of people indirectly hating on Kite just because it's hentai... presumably before they actually bothered to watch it, when the thing is there actually was a great deal of substance to the story and the sex was actually there for a reason. It wasn't the greatest thing mind you, but it was still noteworthy.

It's not hated because it is a hentai

It's hated because it is a LOLICON hentai, by the way, most people on this forum are probably westerners. So it's expected to be even less accepted.....

I actually encourage it. It should deter them from doing things like Zac Efron as Sousuke in FMP!

I don't know if you've actually seen the unedited version, but I have and I can tell you that you are blowing it a little out of proportion. The only real scene with Saya having sex at a young age is dramatized to show how she was forced into a bad life at a young age. Even then, the younger Saya has a pretty adult looking body with breasts and hips. To generalize it as a "lolicon hentai" would be like calling the movie Taxi Driver child porn, granted Kite is much more graphic.

I think Kite live action can be as good as the anime does even tho most of the bait rape scene was not included.Since the person who making Snakes on the plane direct it, i highly doubt he can at least bring up the brutal violence and social crime where Kite is infamous for.

I'm sure one day there will start to be good live action anime adaptations, but I don't expect this to be the start.

It's not that "Hollywood" can't make a good anime adaptation, they just don't put enough money into it or have high profile directors direct them. They are so scared the movie won't sell well that it ends up being bad because of it.

For those that don't like anything Hollywood, I guess there is no pleasing you. Though I find it hard to believe you don't like any American films.

why? i don't really see why anyone cares about live action hentai any more than just plain porn. perhaps for the....compelling story?

And I thought I would have to worry about the Cobra live action movie. This is just silly. Someone please stop the boat and let me off. Or at least put this on hold until I qualify as a director. None of this tone-down, remove everything because it will make you uncomfortable b.s. Please.

this is interesting. i actually really like kite. the adaptation... probably not so much. not after recent live action releases. they even fucked up blood:the last vampire. these hollywood assholes always add some bulllshit into the plot giving it the distinct feel of hollywood and in the process making a crappy movie. im sure they add the same crap to the movie to make it marketable and target a bigger audience for more money but damn. i dont think anime were made to make money. at least i dont see them like that. until hollywood stops and makes something whether good or bad regardless of money. there wont be a good live action
Dont bother replying to my posts in forums, dont check them afterwards.

For some reason i not so fond of Kite hentai plot line.It feels like this anime really count on sex scene to keep up with the pace.What i expected from the live action adaptation of Kite is keep tight all of the scenario and it will flows well without any appropriate sex scene since the live action version was not gonna based on the anime.And one more thing the director needs to pull some better closure end to the movie since the anime itself didn;'t have a proper ending which i wasn;t satisfied.

what has Hollywood destroyed? Dragon Ball... why? the DB universe has to much story for one movie and they see a movie that is only 45 minutes long and it can have some added story to it... that is why we will never see any Gundam movies too. so i say take a shot and lets see what he can do with kite.

No. Kite doesn't rely on sex scenes. If you put every sex scene together its probably less than 5 minutes. Same with Mezzo Forte. You can even remove those scenes completely and still understand the plot.

Anyway I think this is going to be like Street Fighter Legend of Chun-li where everything is wrong and the title is the only thing that you can connect to the anime...

Snake on a Plane, Patriot Games, Lethal Weapon etc.. his known from those movies, but picking Kite and me looking at how much it had as a rating in MAL. I doubt it will be any good (im just speculating).

"I am a big fan of Yasuomi Umetsu and honored to bring the amazing world of 'Kite' to the big screen," Ellis said. <-- he said but from all of Yasuomi Umetsu's work he pick Kite maybe he thinks the "sex" part will also help the show invite more people to watch (mainly men) (just speculating :) )

But i guess its better he picked a not so popular Kite.. since i don't want to see anymore good anime series being ruined.

LMAO. Oh wow, I recognized Kite when I saw the title but forgot it was a hentai. Then then I saw this clearly American name and "live-action remake" in the same paragraph I couldn't control my laughter.

I haven't seen Kite and I don't think I would want to but if they're making a live action adaptation then I rather it be so bad it's awesome then just god awful. Snakes on a Plane was intended to be a bad movie, thats why I like it so much.

now you see, my reaction precisely reflected on why people stay away from it. as soon as "Lolicon" is mentioned, in either United States or Japan or China, they will be looked DOWN upon. so at least 90%+ of the non-lolicon people will try to avoid it. or at least not advertixze it.

basically, it's hentai, it's LOLICON hentai, it's get labeled that way, it's get avoided......

I am looking forward to the movie. Although I might wait until a uncensored directors cut comes out first before watching. I like my violent movies to not have the violence cut out.

so it's been a year

this isn't even happening anymore, is it?


I'm not that worried.

Still, they should leave Kite alone. Liberator was crap crap crap crap CRAP.

I mean, that No Doubt video that was based on Kite was pretty bad (because it had Gwen Stefani in it, duh)

Also, I have the cut version . . . . .I think they only edited out the sex.

i still have some optimism for the film. 1) its not based on liberator 2) it has the Hnic samuel l jackson joining the cast. it cannot be worst then "Snakes on a plane" so i still might watch it. i would never consider kite in the same f'd up category as other disturbing lolicon Hentai it
