I'd like to say that I have high hopes for this, but I really don't. Wait, I just read that they produced The Walking Dead. Might not fail miserably, then. *crosses fingers* |

On topic, I'm corcened about what they will do to Pinoko. |

This is going to suck. The legal age of consent in Japan is 13, so shota is totally legal in Japan. In some western countries shota might be considered child porn. |

Picked up to shit. This probably won't be too bad, and might even be good! |

^Same here. Might as well give the animated series a try before watching the live action.  |

The anime/manga aren't really anything special by today's standards. The stories are short and sometimes quite idiotic. The art isn't very good either(ignoring the disney style). Black Jack is kind of cool in a Harlock way though. The legal age of consent in Japan is 13, so shota is totally legal in Japan. In some western countries shota might be considered child porn. |
