AKIRA it's baaaaaaack (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻ (20XX)

[Tellahh]

Seriously, some of you guys overreact so fucking much. If it hurts you that much, don't watch the hollywood remakes. While it's not the best thing in the world, it's not the end of it either.

fuck off Hollywood, leave my anime alone...

[Tyrath]

Or it could just be that people don't want to see their favourite series get butchered by Hollywood, be misrepresented or generally just be bad.

Can't be!

Like I said, overreaction. You act like someone is going to tie you down and force you to watch it. At the end of the day, this getting created does absolutely nothing to affect you. Hollywood butchers lots of things for money, get over it.

Except, if it wasn't shit and I didn't already know it was going to be a butchered abomination, I would actually like to see it. Just because I can choose not to see it doesn't mean it should be allowed to happen. Some people really like stuff, and most of those anime I do like and would love to see a good, fair adaptation done.

So no, I won't get over it.

Ok.. from now on whenever anyone has this 'why god, no!!!' reaction they are NEVER ALLOWED TO WATCH THE MOVIE IF IT HAPPENS TO ACTUALLY BE GOOD. How many people shit their pants when Heath Ledger was cast as the joker shortly after being in Brokeback Mountain and were oh-so-positive it was a terrible casting choice.

I pray that Hollywood proves me wrong every single film. But how often does "The Dark Knight" actually happen for anime/manga > movie?

I want to enjoy it, and I would if it were good. But seriously now, I'm not naive. I don't expect miracles to happen for every adaptation.

[grantlogan]

Plenty of beloved comic books were shit on by Hollywood, some I saw, some I didn't. Was I a little ticked off? Sure. But don't let it ruin your day, the original source material is still there to be loved and in the end, Hollywood shit won't affect it.

It's not only the 'miracle' movies, there are still movies like Iron Man or the other marvel movies that actually were pretty decent. People reacted like it they were shit from the start but that wasn't the case.

I just hope people promise to never see a movie they say will be shit before it comes out.

Oh I'll see it alright, I'll just never pay for it.

Piracy is good for at least this.

[Blarg]

If it's a shit movie why even spend the 1-2 hours watching it for free. Just replay the original movie instead because it's the bestest ever

Because it'll be funny and awful? What's not to get about that.

[Blarg]

Ok, I'll allow you to watch it for those reason but if at any point in time you end up liking it if it starts to get actually good in terms of quality you must turn it off immediately or else bad things

[Insanecyclone]

[Not Kuno]

THIS IS SO RETARDED I COULD SHIT MILES OF RAGE SNAKE TO CHOKE THESE WRITERS TO DEATH

[mallister]

...yeah. that's an image i won't get out of my head anytime soon.

[Rhyis.]

Never watched this dubbed. Not a fan of the voices lol.

[Apelila]

oh god, seeing this I thought 'well, how bad could it be?'

DBZ live action movie

[Insanecyclone]

That's the original dub, here is the 2001 redub

[Rhyis.]

New stuff seems like an upgrade actually.

[Apelila]

2001 dub was decent for a dub. What makes the first dub legendary was the whole

TEEEEETTTSUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
KEEEEEEEEENAADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

shouting match. That scene in the very first dub is -hilarious-

[6souls]

Now that the live-action version of Akira has the official greenlight a few more names have been added to the list of actors that couple be cast in the film. The initial report said Tron Legacy star Garret Hudlund could end up in the lead role of Kaneda the movie. Now it's being reported that Gary Oldman (The Dark Knight) has been offered the role of Colonel, and that Helena Bonham-Carter (Harry Potter) has been offered Lady Miyako.

The film is set to be directed by Jaume Collet-Sera (House of Wax, Orphan and Unknown), and so far the cast that has been mentioned so far is surprising. I'm not sure about how I feel about Hedlund taking on this character, the more I think about it the more I see that he doesn't fit the role at all. I can't complain about Oldman though.

The story basically follows the leader of a biker gang in New Manhattan, who’s friend gets jacked up from a medical experiment.
