KANYE FOR THE SOUNDTRACK CUZ HOLLYWOOD DEFINITELY AINT RACIST AMIRITE OR WHAT???? Seriously, this aint lookin good but I could be wrong... Alita Battle Angel was pretty decent but I think that was because James Cameron really loved the source material... this film looks like it aint got that much of passion from the filmmakers, but heyy.. could be wrong... and the director is the one that did '500 Days of Summer', which is one of my fav romance movies... Sooo... hope for the best? |

| 99% certain it's gonna be trash. Well, not like it should affect fans of the movie...this doesn't erase the existence of the original. Gotta say tho, when I found out they're actually replacing the Miyamizu stuff with some Native American thing, I couldn't stop laughing for a while. I kinda predicted it as a joke, but I had no idea they'd actually do it. |

Native American mythology? Sounds okay I guess. That's another part that I'm concerned about... Hollywood doesn't have the best history adapting Native American culture, the only good movie that I could think of that respects Native Americans is Wind River.. which has a subplot about Native Americans being sidelined/forgotten/marginalized by their own country... |
| I hope this movie makes a shit ton of movie. |

| I just saw in ANN this: "Heisserer (NOT the director, but the screenwriter) earlier stated that the Japanese rights holders requested a Westernized take on the source material. "They stated if they wanted a Japanese live-action version, they would just do it themselves," he said. "But they want to see it through the lens of a western viewpoint."" So, there is a reason to the change and I guess that can be interesting. I feel they can't make it worse than Death Note and Dragon Ball Evolution, but again, who knows lol |

He wrote "Arrival" (yayy) and "Bird Box" (jesus fuck nooo) |
| @Dave_Adrian Oooh, okay. I fixed lol Yeah, "arrival" was interesting but Bird Box...the memes were good, if that counts as something hahaha |

It could only be more entertaining than the source material hehehe |

Life action adaptations shouldn't even be necessary if there's already a proper Anime adaptation. Meh... I guess animephobia is still too strong and film producers gonna exploit that. |
This dance is the pinnacle of human achievement. |
| Really surprised this isn't an Onion headline lol This is the most ridiculous thing I've seen in a while |

| I had read earlier the Japanese rights holders wanted a western take and i was a bit skeptical at first. But now hearing what the premise in America is, I can't help but be intrigued. Hope this movie does well. |

It's more of an alteration of the word homophobia describing people who have a negative attitude towards anime in general. A friend of mine is kinda like that, he once suggested watching Death Note (2017) and I told him that there's also an anime which is much better but he said he doesn't watch stuff like that. |

Yeaaa, I got wut you sayin. But that's why I want great Live action adaptations of Anime to happen, so that people stop having 'Animephobia'. Just like when people used to think that things like Star Wars and Marvel were for 'fucking dweebs' |
| hah, this will be a hit all right Piromysl said: It's that city, with highest crime rate in Murica'? according the crime index they are ranked 7th in the us |

| Radwimps was the only good thing about the show and they probably aren't gonna include that. Who the fuck is gonna watch this shit. |
| Basically like you say, I’m going to expect it to be trash but if it’s good that’s nice. Should be better than the DBZ live action at the very least.... |
| Lolicons are scum. BABYMETAL is more metal than Metallica. Naruto is objectively the best anime ever. HxH 99' is decent. HxH 11' is bad. |

| I could agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong. |
| Native American Mythology? Ah, I really have a bad feeling about this. |

SeidouTZ said: If this movie has a higher budget they can make it so chicago is the one that gets hit by the comet while the second part of the movie is actually a time traveling armageddon ^^ Eh i will be honest maybe is because i wasnt a big fan of the original movie, but i am not agains this change. Maybe if the original movie had explained the "ancient spirits" better and that had strong ties with the japanese lore i could see how changing the scenery would be detrimental, but how it stands this to me doesnt seem like really that important. I am sure it still gonna be a flop, but definitely doesn't think is gonna be because of this. Ooo shit I forgot about the meteor... Your Name definitely lacks expotition about the time traveling aspect. Will it be a flop? Cant say cuz Alita was predicted to be a flop, but it got huge numbers at the box office |

Sooo... hope for the best? I haven't seen 'Your Name' yet, but since it's indeed the guy that did '500 Days of Summer' I might give this a go aswell I guess. But let's be honest: '500 Days' is not really a romance movie. Sure, it's a boy meets girl story, but not a love story. :-P |

AnimePixelz said: oh no is this a live action? no no no. we've seen what deathnote live action has done, and a few others. i just pray they dont fuck up a masterpiece anime movie, or else someone's gonna get rekted by me !! Well... Hollywood just made Alita Battle Angel, which was pretty good for an anime adaptation, probably the best anime/manga adaptation since Edge of Tomorrow (even tho I can't really call that movie a proper adaptation) "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst." -me |
| I think that sounds kind of interesting since a live action with the same setting as the anime movie would just be repeating the movie. It's kind of different going from something that's already a movie to live action than a long running series to a live action movie where they have to cut a lot of things out. I hope it turns out okay. |
| Thread moved from AD |
| My first reaction when I heard about this movie was a mix of POCAHONTAS + YOUR NAME Your name depends a lot on it's animation and direction because it has some big weakness that are exposed when the beautiful animation and soundtrack disappear, (you can read the manga to have a better understanding of this and see that both experiences are way different) of course the script can be done better for this adaptation, but still if the theme is the same I think will be a weak film as those american adaptation usually are. |

I . A M . D E A D ! C O N T I N U E ? INSERT COIN |
| I'm okay with the US theme to it but please do not call it "your name" They need to call it something else and just say it was inspired by "your name" Changing the entire location and trying to appropriate it to the US while still calling it "your name" is blatant westernization, and there is inherently no other reason other than to profit more from mainstream viewers. |

| This honestly sonds like a disaster in the making but Im curious to see where it will go. |
Maybe Scarlett Johansson will embarrass us again. Great. Just... awesome. |
| Anime to live-action adaptations, much like game to anime adaptations, are generally shit. This one isn't gonna be any different. The sad part is, there are plenty of manga /anime that Hollywood could adapt and probably make better. Psycho-Pass, for example, would make for an incredible sci-fi thriller and is the exact right fit for Hollywood. |
 |
| As long as some bloods and crips bang it out and someone gets shot in the head it should be good. If this doesn't happen then it ain't Chiraq. |
 |
| This will certainly be terrible, but the source material was a pile of junk anyways so it's not that big of a deal. |
