Salinga said: Tiger and bunny has slot of American themes in it and the location is based off new york in the 1990's xD.VioLink said: Salinga said: VioLink said: cr4sian_phil said: Expect Bleach, Naruto and One Piece live action movies to be announced in 3...2...1.... That would be pretty awesome actually. Live action Hitman reborn and Soul eater would be pretty Cool also. I think a live-action Baccano! would work perfectly for an adaptation. The only unfortunate thing is that they'd probably have to tone down the violence. YEAH since it's so American themed it would be a awesome adaption and tell a great story!! Tiger & Bunny would make a nice adaption also. I'm not sure about Tiger and Bunny since I haven't seen it, but if it's a superhero series those tend to be well-liked in America. C: |

Smochi said: It says the people behind the project will be working WITH American producers, not just palming it off to whoever. Hopefully they'll be more familiar with the anime being adapted and will discuss it at length with the American producers to work through the cultural differences and reach a compromise, rather than the films ending up totally Americanised. However, you also have to consider the fact that while anime originally comes from Japan, the Japanese may not necessarily have as much creative control over the adaptation. In the end, Hollywood does tend to Americanize anything and everything, and may use the excuse of marketing to North American audiences as justification for their creative decisions. I can see successful adaptations of anime that has nothing to do with Asia working (e.g. Baccano!, Cowboy Bebop to some extent, Porco Rosso), because Hollywood is one racist motherlover, but not for any anime that has Asian influences. All Hollywood does is typecast us into kung-fu masters, evil businessmen, or an illegal traders of sorts. Or, they purposely hire Chinese people with accents; it's just really a white man's view of Asian culture. :| I've really yet to see Hollywood step forward, as Nickelodeon did with Avatar: The Last Airbender, providing quality work that respects our heritage. I swear, if they put another random white guy in a samurai story to get the "American's point of view", or cast non-Asians in roles specifically for Asians, we may as well be written off as mooks. I'm so tired of seeing movies from a white man's perspective. I want to watch a movie with an Asian protagonist being cast as anything a white man could be. Edit: It also would be really nice if they'd separate castings by country, or at least make us look the part. Like, Koreans don't look Chinese, OK? Nor do they sound like them. Get some damn Asian friends. Of course, we're pretty much grouped all as Asians to them, so it really doesn't matter in their eyes, I guess. |

ravagestorm said: *sigh Another disaster in the making. Hollywood tends to Americanize everything. They don't care if they ruined the original plot as long as they earn money. Just take a look at Resident Evil films. The recent RE film blatantly copied a scene in RE5 but couldn't even match the cutscene from the game in terms of quality. First Resident Evil Movie=British-German, Resident Evil: Apocalypse=Canadian-British, Resident Evil: Extinction=Canadian-British, Resident Evil: Afterlife=Canadian-German. None of those are Hollywood movies. ravagestorm said: Now imagine your favorite anime series being directed by Uwe Boll or Paul Anderson. You only named two directors when there's plenty that are better. And Uwe Boll is a German director, most of his movies aren't even Hollywood but Canadian and German movies. |
ravagestorm said: You missed the point of my post. Read again. You just spliced a part of my post and made it to look like I was praising Boll and Anderson. No I did not miss anything. You said "Hollywood tends to Americanize everything. They don't care if they ruined the original plot as long as they earn money. Just take a look at Resident Evil films." You included the Resident Evil films as Hollywood films. jpp8 said: The industry relies mainly on domestic sales and this will ultimately have no effect. You actually believe that? It would have a very negative effect if the industry didn't have any international sales. |
JustALEX said: It's funny because I didn't see people bitching about a Japanese actor playing "L" even though he's NOT Japanese but British :/ That example doesn't really work like, at all. You comparing a semi-homogenous Country to a very diverse country. A country where most of the population is Japanese and any casting call will be answer by Japanese actors, to a country where the director (or whoever is in charge of it) says "We should make the protagonist white to appeal to the larger audience." To take this off of anime let's talk about Neil Gaiman's Anansi Boys. One of the reasons he originally rejected having a movie adaptation was because they wanted to make the black lead white (the other reason being that they wanted to remove the magical elements, but really, that's a whole other can of worms.) |

jpp8 said: The industry relies mainly on domestic sales and this will ultimately have no effect. Anime will stay the same as it's always been: hated by everyone on this site because it isn't as psychological or mature as "it used to be". Are you sure it's hated because it's not "as psychological or mature as it used to be." and not "because it's an industry over-saturated with moeblob and ecchi," because, and I'm not Doc Scratch or anything, but it really looks like its more the latter than the former, but I will say that your statement is just adorable. Say what you want about those type of series, like them or hate them, and say what you want about the other things you see a lot of like shounen anime, but the difference between that moe/ecchi side, and that shonen/shoujo/yaoi/what-have-you side is that with the latter you can at least give some leeway. With "A young boy goes on a journey to save the world," you can at least hope to see that boy growing up, falling in and out of love and questioning whether he can save the world or not as opposed to "four girls start a club where they do wacky things because it's adorable," which is exactly what it says on the tin. |
Edge12 said: I think they are trying to infiltrate the Western Industry that they will get the Rights to air all Japanese Movies in America. Meaning that every Animé & Movies will get to pass in their hands before they air it in America, instead of just selling the license to an American Company that will air it; they will be the ones to air it. Also it would increase the visibility of Animé merchandise on the market of America. That's what I think expanding the scope of Animé around the world. dtshyk said: The company will acquire film rights of Japanese anime and toys and produce movies in Hollywood with producers in the US. INCJ plans to acquire ten film rights and an investment of three billion yen in the first three years. Sounds a lot like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_ownership |

| Maybe this won't suck as much as everyone is making it out to. And if the re-make Death Note live-action I will be extremly happy! But if they dont find the right L and Raito I will give up all hope for America XD |

cr4sian_phil said: Expect Bleach, Naruto and One Piece live action movies to be announced in 3...2...1.... One Piece doesn't have nearly enough popularity in America to get a Hollywood movie, plus it would never work as live action. Hollywood can do whatever they want to Naruto and Bleach though, can't be any worse than what they've already turned themselves into. |

JustALEX said: It's quite simple....go after anime that doesn't rely so much on fantasy/battle plot... Death Note CAN work, it's a police drama theme which Hollywood has already excelled in, they don't have to worry about super powers or swords, or martial arts or nothing too special. The only problem will be if anime fans can stop being so retarded about there being a "White" person playing Light Yagami... It's funny because I didn't see people bitching about a Japanese actor playing "L" even though he's NOT Japanese but British :/ Something like Death Note has universal appeal and can transcend its medium, probably why it's so easy to get people who don't/haven't watched anime before to watch it. I know I've introduced like 3 non-anime fans to it and it got them to start watching anime because of it, you just have to make sure you don't alienate the viewers by showing them something that they can't relate to or don't understand or aren't used to. If it's a good story and it's done well then it won't matter what the source material is, people will still enjoy it. That having been said, I'm quite afraid of them messing this up or tailoring things so much to the audience that it is near-recognizable. Guess I'll just have to cross my fingers and hope for the best... |
| Harems don't exist in America. If one guy is constantly surrounded by beautiful girls, then he's probably the gay friend. |

| I can almost guarantee that all of these movies will probably have an "American" twist, such as the Akira live-action film, set in New York City. 'Tis a shame; a real shame. detracts from the authenticity and integrity of the original story and is a slap in the face to the respected creators. |
| ..for the love of god. |
 |
| Wait a second, what do they mean by "Anime", I mean it's like all anime or what? Anyway, Hollywood is a piece of shit, and nothing good can come out of this. |
| I see a lot more live-actions coming our way. Oh no. |
| Sounds like their trying to westernize anime. That sounds bad to me. |

Onibokusu said: Kazeshini said: Yeah, fuck exposure...I don't care what they're trying to do for the Anime industry, it'll bring more bad than good... ...Wait... This entire thread is full of negativity. There are more bad video game film adaptations than anime. I feel the same way! I dont think we can really judge anything that hasn't even happened YET. I don't think we're giving America enough credit :x |
|
| @ NinjaNeachy and Onibokusu: So...what you guys are saying...is that...there's still....HOPE?! |
| I dunno about this. Hollywood does do a good job in making comics movie most of the time, but I don't know how they're going about making anime into movies. Dragonball failed pretty bad, but I'm willing to give them another chance. |

| Hmm bad Idea, Investing to buy the rights and then sell them? That makes no sense at all. The few anime inspired adaptation made in the states have been severely under budget films, due to the uncertainty on the movie companies' part on how we would react to it. They should Invest to buy rights and then help fund them. |
