Focslain Posted June 9, 2017 Posted June 9, 2017 22 hours ago, myk said: It's not about the effects, it's the casting and the...."corniness" of just about everything that's been converted to live action. Does anyone remember the Yamato live action movie? How about Fist of the North Star? Let's not even talk about the video game conversions. Talk about cringeworthy. Some things should just be left the way they are; IMO anime is one of them... Sorry about this... rant By the same token, comic books should have stayed in the realm of animated series. But technology is getting good enough that film makers can take what was once stuck to only being able to be drawn into the the world of the real. Seriously, blame the MCU and our current nostigic driven culture for this rise in adaptions. Not to mention that while those of use that grew up on the original source materials or at least the animated versions, can not want to see what we love fail if done wrong (and it might). For most western audiences animation is still regarded as entertainment for kids. It's only those of us that saw the mature stories and themes that eastern animation (and to some minor extent western) that we can see it as just another media to tell stories. Comic books are gaining a small bit of creditablity thanks in part to the success of the arrowverse and MCU. The western culture is being shown that drawn works can tell good stories and for adults to boot. The live-action based on anime is to do the same, but like some comic book nerds will groan at the changes and vision the moives/shows take on characters they loved to read about, so too do we have the same feeling towards our beloved characters being changed when the medium is changed. /rant If the series works, great, if not, oh well. At least if it gets others insterested in the source material, all the better. Quote
