LOL!!!

your telling me,

It's like "You're under Arrest!" live version.

Watching cute girls in unconvincing police uniform driving at 5mph down an unexciting car chase isn't the same as the anime.

Don't think I remember any good live action anime shows...no wait.

Sailor Moon.

i love the cutie honey live action lol.

i like the You're Under Arrest drama. it was well made, and changed to fit it's medium as compared to the manga/anime. Would fast cars and the super high heel braking manuever been cool? yeah. but not on a drama budget.

Sailor Moon rocked after the actors got 10 episodes of experience under their belt.

yeah it did.


as for Sh15uya. i haven't watched any of these new releases yet, just downloaded them.

I skimmed through them. The fight scenes are pretty cool. I mean they actually do look like real fight scenes and they actually do "hit". Her battle suit thing and her sword thing is really cool. But the only thing is there's this dark tinge to the entire episode that it's kind of annoying. You can't really see anything bright and clear. I'm not sure if I should continue watching.

Conan-san: I just wanted to do a little shout out/clarification. The actor playing peace has done a lot of stunt work in Japan on things like Kamen Riders and whatnot. He's from the US, but is half Japanese and speaks Japanese pretty fluently-- without the bad accent you see in the show. I'm assuming that one of the directors thought that a $hitty accent would somehow enhance the character...

Seems to fit just fine to me. It's not like anything he says makes much sense to start with, why not give it a bad accent, just to make it more nonsensical.

So, does anyone know where/if the a translated version of the Manga is available. Also curious if the Live Action comes to any kind of closure at the end... I hate being left hanging.

on the ending:

Spoiler:

Haven't read the manga but my interpretation is that Tsuyoshi starts virtual-shibuya up again and chooses to remain with Emma rather than live in the real world, which is OBVIOUSLY the right choice since I would choose simulacras with HBs too. Don't think too much about how he does it or how they're sustained in RL without the support system though... and don't expect any answers about anything else...

[shuubaru]

are there specials to this series?

[sorvani]

thanks for subbing this! it's on my list after i finish saiyuuki

Heh, the fights dont look real since when they hit, nothing happens - they just stand up and continue to "hit". Looks like cheap asian action movie.

Plus characters act amazingly stupid. I watched it only cause 2 leading girls were cute :)

[Soulcatcher]

double post.

[powerguns]

I agree tat the fight isn't at all impressive enough. When I was watching the 1st ep, I was a little confuse of the story line. Somehow I know saya yuki was playing the part as guy. But shouldn't they find a real guy acting as tsuyoshi? Beside she is a little shorter than those other girls. I always whenever I see them trying to hug tsuyoshi. As for the ending, i...

Spoiler:

feel tsuyoshi sacrifice the real world just to be with ema. Tats kind sweet but stupid too. But like wat oasis say, dun expect any ans for the ending. Its up to ur imagination to think wat may happen to them in the virtual world.

dame I din read this manga too. Now after watching this live action, I'm thinking should I read the manga

[daisukechan]

what were their real names again? i accidently deleted the episodes off my comp and dont feel like redownloading them just to know their names o.o please help

I was checking out the torrent listings of Mecha Saiyuki I came across this show I was quite intrigued by the show checked up on links but to my avail found no proper synopsis just a screen shot the screen shot looked neat. So I though about watching this show

Really Dumb Q about the show : what’s this show about does it have too much drama in it I am not into too much drama the genre stated was Sci Fi so what’s this show about and would you say I should go for it ?
