hollywood would ruin Grave of the Fireflies. i don't think any studio is brave enough to kill both the children in the end.
I didn't say Hollywood should make it, I was just thinking which would lose the least in translation from ink to reality, and Grave of the fireflies, Kenshin OVA trust and betrayal, and Jinroh, qualify. To a degree I almost forgot I was watching anime as I watched these. However they are great movies as they are. Why bother? The fact that they are animated makes them no less legitimate as quality cinema, I wish people would realize this. Do we see people asking, well what if we made 'Citizen kane' an anime, or star wars an anime (whoops thats been kinda done with that manga and it sucked <_<.) Can't we be happy with the two different mediums apart without having to mix them bringing about unholy POS's? Its like taking classic liturature and dumbing it down for a movie. Generally unless in the hands of a master it doesn't work and even in the hands of a master it will never stand up to the source. Same goes for video games. Is it really as much fun watching the action as it is interacting with it? Not really. Though I would love to see a live action movie with some decent mecha action in it. Save for terminator (do Terminators and HK's count?) I have never seen a decent live action mecha movie. I just know the battletech movie they are making will suck. but I still am going to see it and hope.......
