| Given the adaptation of Dragon Ball, there's nowhere to go but up from there. |
| For starters, I think it would be quite enlightening to see a list of all these "Hollywood" adaptations of "anime" |
| Depends on content and on which standard you compare it to. If we go by Dragon ball standard then well, It's hard to get worse than that. And source here, Ghost in the shell is definitely more suit as hollywood/western than dragon ball. Source such as Monster and Ghost in the shell or classic such as Ningen shikkaku is what i believe staffs don't have culture barrier or medium barrier in term of adapting them. The thing about hollywood adaptions is that, when they try to have the same design as the source, most of time it just feel like a cosplay group filming themselves. |
| Watch Edge of Tomorrow for another good one if you haven't. |
| Ghost in the Shell was good I guess but I have seen better anime/manga live actions which are not made by Hollywood. For example Oldboy or Ruroni Kenshin. Edge of Tomorrow is also good. The Matrix trilogy is also heavily inspired from Ghost in the Shell, so that's good. |

Brb said: Given the adaptation of Dragon Ball, there's nowhere to go but up from there. That dragon ball adaptation is the only one ive seen so i hope its only going up from there. That has put me off watching any other live adaptation. I think i might check out the death note one coming out though. |

| We shall see once Cameron's and Rodriguez' adaptation of GUNNM finally comes out. I actually have rather high expectations for that film. So far, I only have heard positive comments of Japanese live action adaptations, although only of a few titles. Then again, Hollywood's Edge of Tomorrow (adaptation of All You Need Is Kill) wasn't shit either, but that's like the only decent one that has been done in the West. So I'm guessing that Japan wins just because they've tried more times than Hollywood. |
| I suppose not wanting to be the next Dragonball Evolution/The Last Airbender is a good motivation. |
| Big no. Hollywood should stay away from Anime. |
| Ehhh, I've seen quite a few good rant thread about the DN Live Action and FMA Live Action; seems like Hollywood can dig this... |
Agreed. I hope they never pull off a successful live action anime adaptation. I don't want the chance of seeing a series I enjoy to be butchered |
 |
| I don't think treating these movies as 'adaptions' makes a lot of sense, they're usually more like re-imaginations or loosely based on the source material. Judging them like that probably gives a better idea of how good these movies are, although a bunch of them are still crappy from that angle. But strictly as an adaption a lot of them are bound to fail because of time constraints and taking a lot of freedom with the source. Personally I don't think they need to be good adaptions, just good movies. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Getting better? Hahahahahahaha Nice joke! |

| No. The purpose of Hollywood is to make money. That's all. Nothing good or genuine can come from such a mindset. To do good movies, books or whatever takes more than that. |
| From the looks of it, Death note movie will tank. Akira won't resonate well with the western audience because it was heavily based on Japan's post-ww2 struggle, to begin with. Even though it was a step in the right direction, Ghost in the Shell is a financial failure. So, studios probably will hesitate to invest a lot of money to future projects. Honestly, Hollywood can't make a decent adaptation of games, an entertainment medium a huge number of moviegoers know and love. So, it's too much to expect them to make a good anime adaptation when they don't even understand the medium. And which anime titles can be adapted? Ghost in the shell is very west friendly. There aren't many well-known anime classics that will make a good movie. |

| The White-washing.. part... it's gruesome yet it makes me nauseous... Quit this crap already... I'm very disappointed... from the viewers also |

Unfortunately, the project seems to be on hold. Not expecting anything great but I do hope it will rekindle this series, so it gets a proper anime adaptation. We know the OVA is shit. |
