What do you think about Hollywood making another live action film based on a popular manga/anime series?

INB4 people complaining about Asians not being Casted

Being honest, these guys should actually take notes from Ben 10: Alien Swarm. Now THAT'S how you do a live-action adaptation from cartoons/animes!!!
Also, why don't they just do Gundam instead of this??? I for one, would die from a complete seizure due to major fangasm!!!

Or you could do the more sensible thing and just not do it period.

No.

Just leave the Gundam series out of this.

[Derock]

No... just plain. No.

[RyrineaHaruno]

Well I say it "could" be done right with the "right director" (key note, a director/producer who reads the manga, anime, and knows and will takes it to heart). They would obviously need to make Ichigo a grown man to make it more exciting and action pack instead of having a 15 year old kid (no offense to the younger members) similar to Ghost Rider or something of that nature.

... This is a joke, right? After the absolute raping the movie industy has done to every other anime property, now they want to do it to one of the most popular shonen in the world?

Bankruptcy is go.

This is what happens when you lose the creative process of thinking of original storylines. They'd probably put Ichigo with Orohime.

But I thought comic character Ghost Rider was a grown man, not a senior citizen like they had in the movie.


And while I'm thinking it Orohime might not be in the film or not have such a large role as she does in the series. Most likely it will focus on the Shinigami complete. It will turn Ichigo into a death god version of Neo or something. With him coming to grips with his powers and the moral responsibility he has to use them for the betterment of everyone around him. All to the beat of a kick ass hip hop soundtrack!

That's true "Does face lift and hair dye and get's back into aciton"!

You've got to be kidding me...!!!

[Illmatic]

I honestly tried to give Dragonball Evolution a chance, but It was terrible. This would be just as horrid.

[Mik3]

I will say speculating who could play Yoruichi and Rangiku would be fun.



Also Hitsugaya-Danny Devito

I hope this Bleach live action film isn't too faithful; I like background scenery in my fiction.

... I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

Just leave the Gundam series out of this.

This. This times a thousand. Do not sully the good name of Mobile Suit Gundam, Hollywood.

Thankfully Gundam would probably require a higher budget than Hollywood would want to put towards it.

Micheal Bay & Spiellberg could, look at the cost of transformers.

I am up in the air about this.

I mean...okay so far the live action shows of cartoons has not been successful. 99% of the time the movie sucked, but I believe it all has to do with who is doing the film.

Now WETA is doing the live action Evanglion movie and while I don;t want to see one of my favorite anime ruined, I willing to give it a shot because I know WETA can do it. If it was anyone else, I would say no.

As for the Bleach Live action......No.

If they make the live action Evangelion and it is as good as the anime, then I will give the movie industry one last chance to clean up their act and make anime based live action movies as they should be.

Also as for people who complain that the actors in the movie should all be Asian....I say no. Not necessarily and no I don't use bigotry like that. If they are a good actor and they fit the role well, then by all means they can be any nationality.

In truth, MOST anime characters do NOT look Asian. They look American or even British.

If in an Anime you have a character who says they come from Germany, you would NOT have an Asian play that role. I am sorry, but if the character background is not Asian and you put in there an Asian that does not compute. Same goes the other way.

Let me just say this lastly.
If they were to make a live action Naruto movie....god forbid...
Sai looks Asian.
Naruto does not.

This is the same with the Avatar: Last Airbender movie.

[Dreamer]

Majority of the Bleach characters do look American, so i don't see race being an Issue in this film it's just authenticity of the characters (actors best suited for the anime adaptation) and plot story line.

I think Zoe Saldana from new Star Trek omake and James Cameron Avatar would fit Yoruichi well.
