lets get hollywood into anime
The author of The Hunger Games claims she had never even heard of Battle Royal in spite of the many similarities. Just pointing that out. Is she lying? Somehow I don't think so.. I'd never even heard of BR - much less read the book or see the movie- until a couple of years ago .
Anywho.
I don't think Hollywood should be banned from making anime. They just need to get learned on how to do it better. Or stick with dubbing Miyazaki films via Disney/John Lasseter .
What SHOULD be banned is funimation or whatever that crap is that China produces.
If we're talking about Anime or video game to film adaptations then you're right, if you're not then you're wrong. I think the problem is that Hollywood execs who aren't fans of the particular thing they're adapting tend to ruin it. let the fans run how it will go i.e. the directors and the writers. Keep the studios out of it. That's hard to do though seeing as how something like Cowboy Bebop would cost a bajillion dollars to make correctly. The studios don't like letting up on high budget films.
It's not really ruining the original but when you get any continue of your favorite thing (be it book/novel/manga/anime/movie) and it really dissapoints you, you get a little depressed about it.
Well at least I do anyway.
Dragonball: Evolution.
That is all.
I am going to make a movie where I place a manga flat on a table with a camera pointing down at it. The manga pages takes up the whole frame. I will jump cut from page to page at an average reading speed. No soundtrack or music will be provided. That way there won't be any risk of ideas/aspects of the original source material going south through any executive scrutiny.
Since when was Avatar: The Last Airbender considered anime, much less connected to Japan in any way, shape, or form? O___o
But then the fans will get angry that you didn't turn the pages with proper manga-reading finesse! AGH THAT'S A FIRST EDITION COPY OF BOYS OVER FLOWERS AND YOU'RE WEARING ON THE PAGES WITH YOUR GAIJIN PAGE TURNING TECHNIQUES! YOU KNOW NOTHING OF GLORIOUS NIPPON AMERICAN SWINE!
I like Kung-Fu.
earth president nixon should ban anime from earth
I reckon it's an issue of poor cultural transitioning. I started watching the subbed anime after about a year of only dubbed, and good god, the original stuff is much more mature than the "kid's cartoons" the West peddles them as. Until they start to take them more seriously, such as with the current comic book films trend, then we will only ever get troutty films for kids.
