Fuuuuck. There's no chance of a Bluray version anytime soon, right?

i'd been buying anime for years but it still drives me crazy to see the prices

$30 for a single disc of four episodes? I'm well aware of the economics of it, but jesus

BiShoujo Game fanatic Kidnaps 13 Women (2002-04-30 11:10:08)
A Japanese H-Game Otaku is reported to have kidnapped at least 13 women, some of them young girls, and forced them to re-enact scenes from the erotic games. According to the Mainichi Daily News, he tortures them, raped them and even forced some to marry him.

Ichirou · « **Reply #7 on:** February 22, 2008, 10:14:01 AM »

There's still some great stuff out there. Just look at it as general televised entertainment and don't fall into the trap of looking at it as a nice geek genre.

Also, wtf at that headline. I think I heard about that story before.

Eric P · « **Reply #8 on:** February 22, 2008, 10:15:34 AM »

i don't doubt that at all. i don't discount the genre or anything, but i just haven't seen anything which caught my fancy in a while.

DiCaprio 'to produce anime film'
Leonardo DiCaprio
Leonardo DiCaprio will produce through his company Appian Way
Leonardo DiCaprio is to produce a live-action version of anime classic Akira, according to Hollywood Reporter.

The 1988 Japanese film was considered to be a groundbreaking piece of animation, co-written and directed by Katsuhiro Otomo.

It is set in 2019 in post-nuclear war New Tokyo where a biker gains super powers after being subjected to experiments.

Warner Bros is aiming for a release in 2009, it is reported.

Unlike the original, the new movie will be set in New Manhattan, a city rebuilt with Japanese cash.

Ichirou · « **Reply #10 on:** February 22, 2008, 10:58:45 AM »

I heard about this, it sounds AWFUL. They're moving all the action to the US and re-casting all the original Japanese characters with white people.

There was an actual thematic reason why the original Akira took place in the aftermath of a big war, why New Tokyo was built on the remains of a destroyed capital, etc. I dunno, this just smells like it's gonna be a huge POS.

i have no faith

but am interested in the art direction if nothing else

Ichirou · « **Reply #12 on:** February 22, 2008, 11:07:28 AM »

I'm curious to know who'll be directing this. It'll either be a weird art film or a mainstream shitty sci-fi picture.

bagofeyes · « **Reply #13 on:** February 22, 2008, 11:17:21 AM »

A gaffer is writing Akira apparently. Unless it has a really huge budget and great team working on it, I think the end result of a live-action version will be really shit.

Eric P · « **Reply #14 on:** February 22, 2008, 11:17:45 AM »

i'm guessing horrible

bagofeyes · « **Reply #15 on:** February 22, 2008, 11:20:05 AM »

Imagine if it gets horrible CG work like Heroes

A gaffer? Could it be...WILLCO!?

The other anime/manga adaptation that actually might be well done is James Cameron's Battle Angel Alita, which he supposedly will do after he finishes Avatar.

Fun fact: At one point, Cameron was interested in doing a live-action version of Gundam. That woulda rocked so hard.

The genre is so inbred at this point that when I read that, I thought it was the premise of a new anime series. 13 episodes is a standard season!
