Otakughosh said: Just moments ago I finished watching the Netflix adaptation of Death Note. To be honest, my expectations were not high keeping in mind the previous track record. But even these expectations proved to be to high. The film is a disgrace to the original source material and they completely butchered the character of Light. The film made me think about whether Hollywood should stop adaptating manga and anime. Hollywood, as you guys and gals may already know, is now looking towards anime and manga in order to to obtain its next big cash cow (now that comicbook movies are finally getting stale). To be honest, news of such adaptations strike fear in my heart. Films like Ghost in the Shell has already proven that money is not a problem. Things like cancel culture and SJWs are also a problem. In Hollywood, nowadays, movies are increasingly being made to fit a certain political narrative and this is something the Japanese authors and mangakas hate. The news about Netflix making an adaptation of Gundam is also heart rending. However, the biggest problem is that Hollywood is still looking for a way to adapt Naruto for the big screen. As if one Boruto was not enough. So what do you guys and gals think? Should Hollywood adapt more anime and manga or should they just stop trying? I say yes assuming those types of genres are in that producer, writer and or director's wheel house. Like James Cameron for example would be good at making a Bubblegum Crisis/Police A.D. files or some other similar cyberpunk series. The People that did Farscape, Andromeda, Battle star Galactica and other science fiction tv shows would probably do great making a Cowboy Beebop series or other anime space western series. |
Sharnalk said: No! First of all, Americans are not able to understand culture from other countries. They are self centred on a vision of the world, of how a movie should be made; what is allowed to be made and what should'nt be. Everything they touch must be "americanised" even when it is from western countries (I speak from a European point of view) Japan has a culture which is a polar opposite of the western culture. That is why, in my opinion, there is so many people who love anime in the western world: Japan dares to show images, imagine stories, create a visual art that simply DO NOT EXIST in the west. So I say NO, Hollywood and american entertainment companies in general should stay away as far as possible from what Japan does.(Except streaming services such as Crunchyroll of course) This. What's worse is that Hollywood is getting too woke nowadays and makes very mediocre movies. |

| Definitely not.. I gave up on Hollywood years ago and switched it to anime and other things because it can't produce any decent material today. |
 |
| The only reason I'd even consider going with "yes" is just as a curiosity and for the meme value, but as a serious answer, "definitely no" will do. Hollywood has been an absolute trash fire for quite some time now, and taking the anime out of anime is taking out what made it so appealing in the first place. It'll also get tainted by politics and social justice and be regarded as sexist if the female characters are made to be appealing in even the slightest. It'll be labelled racist and be called for cancellation if there's not at least one black transsexual in the cast either (good luck with that, adopting an anime). |
| There have been a few decent ones. Edge of Tomorrow and Alita come to mind and then a lot of mediocre and of course awful ones. They aren't exactly putting up big numbers with them so I am going to say not until they take it more seriously and plan to make AAA movies not just coast on the source materials laurels for a quick buck. |
| Obviously not. I have Nothing against Hollywood. But still. |
| No. Stop ruining anime and manga, Hollywood :/ |
| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| No. No more. They only ruin good things with their shit casting and stupid politics |

Once a flower withered, it can never bloom again.. |
