who care about substance.
this show is all about hot chick, boobs and bigkaboom action. it s prolly the kind of anime you just watch 1 time then keep on your hard drive to just rewatch the action scenes. i ll prolly watch it or try to get a few episode just for the technical qualiti of the animation. |

The Five Killers [Gonin]
I just saw the trailer and trying to find more information about it. So far, I found a site dedicated to the anime in production and ANN's new source.
Anyone got more info on this? It looks pretty badass - GONZO with lots of budget. |

I've seen the trailer few weeks back and my initial impression was that it will be another project by Gonzo similar to Afro Samurai -- an english dubbed series that is likely to appear in one of the cable network channel in the N. America. While the animation looked gorgeous for Afro Samurai, the presentation of the voice acting put a dampner to the overall enjoyment of this type of series for me.

Thread is kind of old but the first post pissed me off so i stayed away. I will say it looks like its going to suck pretty bad and not because its american or japanese i dont give a rats ass about it. It looks like it going to suck for multiple reasons which others have already pointed out. I most likely will check it out to appease my curosity but thats about it.

Made in Japan =/= automatically win. Made in America =/= fail. The only reason why American shows fail all the time is because anything that doesn't cater to the least common denominator gets taken off air. Anything that asked the viewer to even think about contemplating about contemplating something deep has always died. America is full of great writers, the problem is that its also full of dumb people who hear in one ear and out the other. In japan people seem more willing to publish controversial ideals...but that doesnt mean that japan doesnt have its fair share of people drooling over recycled ecchi story lines with the same characters in different bodies. |

It'd be nice if more sites gave updates once in a while just to let those anticipating the series know that the projects are still on
The most recent bits I came across is from March and April of last year but it's still something more than the initial news two years prior Here is a podcast interview for Fictional Frontiers with the script writer George Krstic ttp://www.fictionalfrontiers.podcastpeople.com/posts/31464 Beginning at twenty two:twenty six Quote:
And about the live action -- haven't found anything except for the mention of it being in talks And then there's this from Junpei Takayama who did illustrations for the trailer Quote:
Think we should get some official news this year |

Last I heard of it, I believe negotiations had fallen through. If I'm not mistaken this came from Eric's own mouth followed by a palpable sense of dissappointement in how Gonzo handled things. I can´t quite find the source right now but it should be easy enough to find by searching around a bit.

Yeah, that movie uses the same music in a particular 'chase' scene.
The trailer looks good! Somewhere it reminds a me a little bit of 'Phantom of Inferno', same vibes and stuff. Although this series has yet to prove having a decent story and not just over-the-top action sequences for the sake of being badass. |
