Part of me can't shake the gut feeling that they're just gonna attempt to turn it into a generic action film featuring whoever's popular at the time...

But that's just my own paranoia acting up...

An "R" rating would be best. More realism is allowed.

you just can't explode people the right way wtih a PG13 rating. You really need the R so you can get that dripping hand in there. I'm scared though, does any one remember the live action Iria?

Well, this is the first I've heard of this. I hope it'll be good, but there's no guarantees.

Actually, I've never seen any movie or series that was made into live action after being an anime movie or series. So, I don't really know what to expect.

We stand here as a testament to the evils of American companies. It saddens me to see such great classics go to the pile. It is of greatest importance that this event shall come to pass swiftly and begone.

But we must have hope, for maybe, there is a chance that this one project will come through without too large of a problem.

Let us all pray that Akira does not burn in purgatory for the evils of others.

Oh for christ sakes stop being so over dramatic. Its not like japanese companies dont produce crap also. You act like once this live version is made all the originals are gonna be destroyed and you can only see the live action version now. If its bad then nothing really changes and you still got the old. If its good then you got something cool to watch. Basically, you have nothing to really loose here, so why are you acting like this is the fucking apocolyspe. Just dont go see it OK. You werent born with the right not to hear about bad movies being made.

And since were on the subject of remakes though, I just gotta say, the new Akira dub sucked. What gives, even with the slight mis-pronunciation of certian words, I liked the old one so much better. However, the new one does have a lot better video and audio quality, so im kind of stuck in the middle. I fucking hate when that happens.

well, look at star wars...epiI came out, it sucked, people thought that this made their lives a waste, since they thought this meant they only liked the original trilogy because they were kids...

Hey Neo,

I just didn't want to see such a classic go to the pile. After all, me being a big fanatic of Akira, I don't want to see it's reputation ruined.

And of course, I hope that it turns out swell. But I'm not gonna spend my bucks on teh movie until I'm sure the movie has some hard Akira factor under its belt.

But thats what im trying to say. It doesnt matter how bad the movie is. The original movie is always gonna be there. Your not losing anything, but you have a chance you might gain something, so there is nothing to be upset about.
