I knew where the date was. I ignore such important things such as old news.

i hate keanu reeves and if hollywood ever adapts an anime to live action in a way that ruins it you know how many die hard fans with katanas would be after them, some hollywood director would be murdered in his sleep by kenshin :twisted: but it would make more sence to have someone from the anime they desecrated do it but you get what i mean

Hm... I didn't like Akira much (not my type of movie, I'm not much for just action) but I just thought of something...

Why is it okay to otaku if a Japanese company adapts a non-Japanese movie/story/etc. (see: Metropolis, from a German film) - indeed, credits the anime company for thinking of the idea - but it's EEEEEEEVIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLL if someone adapts an anime? Isn't that a double standard?

Not only that, but the writers/directors know what they're doing. They don't intend to make a frame by frame remake. They are <i>adapting</i> a story in a particular cultural context into another cultural context, and in a different time, and with different technical strengths and constraints.

Do people actually want a frame by frame remake? C'mon, did anyone like that remake of <i>Psycho</i>? No. What's the point of doing everything obsessively the same as what's already been filmed/animated? If nothing new is brought to the story, nothing new is said?

*shrugs* I don't expect anyone to agree, just thinking out loud.

And that NGE parody thing was quite funny, thanks for posting it. 8)

Because 'making it more accesible to Western audiences' usually means at least one thing:

The characters become Americans and while that can work well at times. It just seems 'weird' and 'foreign' to fans. :D

The Guyver live action movie had this (Although, despite that it wasn't adapted too poorly)

Now if a Japanese company or perhaps HK company adapted an anime to live action:

The characters stay Asian.

The Iria live action movie I believe was made by a Japanese company so it managed to retain a lot of it's 'Asian qualities.'

I'm not trying to be racist or anything. I'm just saying there's just some sort of little bits of cultural differences between a movie done mostly by Americans and those done mostly by Asians. Although nowadays as they collaborate on more and more movies the cultural division line is thankfully starting to blur a bit.

I am interested in a live action Akira. I think it would be kind of cool to see it live action. I am also looking forward to that live action Dragon Ball movie, hehe.
