lolz... I agree there. But who can blame them? When you got talented animators like Myazaki, and such good anime like Death Note, Ghost in the Shell, Trigun, and Cowboy Bebop that actually know how to constuct PLOT well (unlike current Hollowood for the most part... though they have rare gems of brilliance.... There Will Be Blood as freaking awesome.)
So Hollowood just wants to milk other sources of talent for their own lack of talent and end up destroying the source material.
Frankly, I hope that does not happen but it is a very real possibility. Maybe this is the American's answer to the growing popularity of Anime over their own subpar productions -.-
Indeed. Especially Cowboy Bebop. That is the anime I bring up for people to get into anime because it is so damn good.
It is the same thing when those hacks Emmerich and Devlin made that American Godzilla "film" (Or Godzilla in Name Only AKA GINO as known to us fans.) Now I can't get people to take any of the films seriously even though there are a few good ones.
Oh well, I suppose I can just pretend that the american adaptations never existed. What worries me is that those subpar movies would potentially turn away people who might like the original anime.
I say we go right to the source, find the people who first had those ideals of doing hollywood anime adaptations and beat them to death and work our way down.
