DarkxLight95 said: But hey! On the bright side, at least the Anime industry can make Money and that way, they can make new Anime's. That's the only upside I can see to this, that the money they will make by throwing a few series to the wolves might be used to produce stuff we actually give a shit about. What I dread though is discussing a series with friends in public and having some tool walking by say "ya dat wuz a kool movie bro but da cartoon iz gay lol". I'd have an aneurism on the spot due to colossal amounts of nerdrage the likes of which the world has never seen. |

Compared to Dragon Ball Evolution the Death Note films are cinematic masterpieces that should be cherished for the rest of eternity, compared to anything else they are fairly average. |

| Could be very good or very bad. Just have to wait and see, but more expose to the anime industry is always a good thing. More money more anime series and 2nd seasons. |

DarkxLight95 said: Ah man. That's very true, I agree with you. Two things I fear the most is this. 1. The Anime shows might become overshadowed due to the movie, just knowing how stupid western youths are nowadays watching the overrated crap we see today. 2. They will make so much changes and so much failure. Imagine Kanon or Clannad. From a beautiful sad and happy romance Anime to a stupid casual fail quick romance. Now when the idiots see the Anime versions of the movie WHICH THEY WERE FIRST! There going to say *Lol stupid cartoons* I really hope the Anime series avoid being overshadowed by the fail movie version. If Movies are sucking nowadays, imagine these! Yes, it's a given that if an audience watches the movie first before knowing the source material's existence that they will associate the series with the movie. However, if they watch the original series afterwards and loves it, then that's always a plus. The Last Airbender worked a similar way, and very few people actually think Avatar is a crappy series just because they watched the live-action movie. But "stupid western youths"? Way to make a blanket statement. A live-action Kanon or Clannad would probably not be green-lit in the first place, anyway. It's rather obscure and appeals to a very small audience. The only people that would say "lol stupid cartoons" tend to be older folks that assume any sort of animation, including Pixar movies, is only for kids. And not all movies are bad these days. In any medium, whether it's books, animation, or live-action, there's always going to be 95% crap and the other 5% actually being good. |
| (◕ᴥ◕し) Hello! Did you know? Barnacles have the largest penis to body size ratio of the animal kingdom. |
| I don't like the sound of this at all... I'm not trying to say everything foreign that gets "Americanized" is bad but there are just certain things that don't translate well, it's why anime isn't a huge thing in the states like in Japan. I mean if it's done well (no live action) and it makes anime more mainstream in America then I'm cool with it but I doubt this will be good :\ |
| I have to say that... Anime will not work great within the America's because about 99% (maybe over-exaggerating but) are very ignorant. I also think that nowadays, it's somewhat a "taboo" to watch anime in U.S. Also to mention.. When looking at live-action films made from Hollywood, have you ever noticed that just about all the main characters are usually Caucasian? |

| lolthisthread. DBE wasn't bad because "it's Hollywood" It was bad because making a live action movie with real people based off of something as goofy as Dragonball is basically doomed to fail. It's the same reason I doubt a movie based on any typical action shounen series would work (a One Piece live action would make me cry) Stuff like Baccano, Naoki Urasawa series etc could be absolutely brilliant in live action. Some romances could work really well too, if the right people helm them. I only hope the Japanese government's involvement means that they'll try their best to get some real talent behind these movies (Tarantino doing Baccano would be the best thing that ever happened to me) It took Hollywood a long time to get comic book movies right, I only hope that they succeed with anime movies faster than that. |

| This thread is so much fail. I didn't know how short-sighted the majority of anime fans are, living in their own little world where everything made by Japan is gold, judging all other forms of media. What's wrong with the Avatar cartoon, or the Batman animated series or Spongebob? The western anime community are the new hipsters. Maybe I'm approaching this the wrong was and don't understand the big deal. Even if the Hollywood-anime movie would come out, people still have the choice if they want to watch something or not. If the Ghost in the Shell adaptation directed by Spielberg is terrible, I don't watch it and move on with my life. Why are people overacting? It's not like a bad move is going to change my life. Does Black Swan count as an adaptation of Perfect Blue? Black Swan was a good movie. Another thing I don't get is the fuss about something being "westernised". Is it really that bad if "bento" is translated as "lunch box"? Or Shinki Ikari from Tokyo-3 is now Zack Gray form New New York? Would it change anything in the story of The Garden of Sinners if it was set in Europe? Is Black Swan really that much worse because the protagonist is a ballerina and not an actor? Btw, the real-life Death Note adaptation was rock bottom, I literally had to stop watching it because I was getting mad. And get over Dragonball Evolution, using it was an argument is so wrong, by logic people would starve if the first thing they ate was bad. |

| (◕ᴥ◕し) Hello! Did you know? Barnacles have the largest penis to body size ratio of the animal kingdom. |
| omg this is... good? well i can .. i don't know but i wish to see in films many animes, of course to the most loyal fans and depending of the anime would be troublesome (me meee) but i think sometimes we desire the quality of many movie we saw before into anime, like the mechas* from transformers in gundam? don't know..i DIE to watch a winged mecha +__+ my my.. even if that wouldn't be exactly the same, (we know we care for everything, they and plot) the good side is that japan itself is doing this. Many manga plots can break any of those little movies stories xD I just say.. shhhhhh*t please do something good!!! by other side seems like hollywood drained all the comic stories and them we are going to see "american manga" x__x please noooo and well... this is not a chinese director trying to do "something" xD in japan hands somehow I can have i little more of hope ._./* |

HawthorneKitty said: Live Action School Days? YES. |
  |
| Also, if you really think someone could have made a succesfull Dragonball movie, that's just silly. Let's be honest, the dragonball series is too fantastical to find any success as a live action film, you could have the best directors/writers/actors out there and the film would fail, because THE SOURCE material simply doesn't work. Death Note, however, will probably make for a great film adaptation, but we'll just have to wait and see.... |

| @Crochax While I have no doubt there are indeed several people with their heads up their asses wherein a shrine to GRORIOUS NIPPON lies, I'm not one of them. I acknowledge your post wasn't necessarily directed at me, but I felt like explaining myself if only for my own peace of mind. I'm simply a purist. I'd like American things to stay American and foreign things to stay foreign is that so much to ask? If people can't appreciate something within the context of its own culture and instead need it to be tarted up to suit their sensibilities, they're the ones with a problem, not me. I don't hate western things, what I hate is the perversion of one thing into something its not and then having the audacity to give it the same name. If they want to borrow the premise and central themes that's fine, but don't put a hamburger in front of me and then try to convince me its sushi. In making The Magnificent Seven they at least changed the name, and really, that's the smarter and more respectful thing to do. Either leave the work's cultural identity totally untouched, or do a complete reinterpretation that clearly distinguishes itself from the original work and is obviously more of a tribute than an actual adaptation. Don't land somewhere in the middle because then it just seems like a shallow imitation or "replacement" born of greed and made under a cynical assumption that Americans are incapable of relating to any culture other than their own. I'll put it this way: don't simply take an anime, give it an American flag to hold in one hand and a bible in the other, beat it with a stick if it resists, and then call it a day because really that's just plain disrespectful to the original work and the Japanese in general. tl;dr I don't oppose anime movies because I'm a weeaboo who hates the west, its because I'm a cynical douche. |
| I understand and agree with MadDogV2 |
| I want a Micheal Bay directed Gundam, we already know a live action adaption of anime will be bad, but at least Bay would make the Gundams look good. |

| Hollywood and Anime. Yeah It will be most probably disaster: English dubbing. Nothing that is thought immoral will pass. (No chanse for incest, gore, or even sex-related jokes). Putting whole series into movie or making spin-offs not related to main story. It wil be like movie adaptation of GANTZ. |
| japan wanna conquer the America in the wrong way lol |
| Might not be as bad as most people here fear, since there's a Japanese company working together with Hollywood instead of just Americans butchering things on their own. |

TwistdKarma said: Also, Spielberg no for GITS.... James Cameron would better fit that roll. I dont know about Spielberg but James Cameron has his hands full with Avatar 2 (2014), Avatar 3 (2015), and "Battle Angel (2016)" - Battle Angel Alita manga. If it succeds he would make the next two movie addaptions, perfectly dividing the 9 volumes. Is it me or is it just ridiculous that Cameron is planning all these movies out so far ahead of time, 2013 is one thing, but 2016, come the fuck on man. |
MorningGlory said: japan wanna conquer the America in the wrong way lol are you saying that selling goods to other countries is a way to conquer them? i don't think so. i don't think that's the reason of japan for selling film rights either. and that's absolutely not the purpose of making deals as well. it's just business, exporting goods from one country to another. if you're saying that's a way to conquer other countries then america had already conquered the whole world. |
