Now Oda approved a Hollywood to adapt his masterpiece and Oda said it will be good. I hope Hollywood will make a good adaptation that Japanese fans or international fans will not force to kill the producers because they ruin the national treasure of japan manga industry
Dragon ball evolution is the best movie of all time
Stop acting like it's just Hollywood Japan has made just as many Shitty anime movies, lol this how I KNOW Watch Mojo has run out of ideas
Ghost in the shell wasnt so bad.
Not just anime but video games shouldn’t be adapted either you hear that Uwe Boll?
Anime should never be adapted period. The storylines are needlessly complex and the melodrama is ridiculous. If you made it live-action, you'd either have to tone down the drama or simplify the story. Either way, they'd end up cutting out a lot of what anime shows need to get the point across.
Movie producers of Hollywood, STOP MAKING ANIME INTO MOVIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Only 5 reasons…. I could think of 20 reasons.
Absolutely makes sens.
I know what you mean but I like watching different things like if you have heard of stories being told different or jokes same with anime adapting to live action Hollywood well this is my opinion but still that is why I watch it
Netflix death note i found it funny. like watching some one getting kicking in the balls also one of my favorite things about was Ryuk.
BUT and this is a big Pero they can do better. Like edge of tomorrow i know about the sour material and i can see how is an adaption of all you need to do is kill and is good. Like what they did with enemies what are ball with teeth and spikes and they were change for edge of tomorrow aliens. A adaptation does not have to been a step by step recopy of the original source material.
and i think they making another edge of tomorrow movie.
White wash the cast , so when other races take a white roll do we say dity wash it like whats up home boi
Speed racer was an anime?
Except the creator of the movie is nigahiga like if you agree
I can't agreed more! xDD
I'm the Dude!!!!!
i can i like this video 1000000000 time over please
"Wah wah wah" they'll get their time.
Maybe they should've stick to adapting Tokusatsu especially Super Sentai
List is legit
#6 Many directors dont even watch anime or arent fans
(Ben Ramsey)so any adaptation they make for Hollywood would suckI'll admit I love the original 10 times more, but I still liked the live action Ghost in the Shell. I'm sorry but it's my opinion.
Take notes JJ Abrams. Don't ruin Kimi no Na wa
why did u boost the voice its too fast
I mean, they still mess up the English dubs. So how do you plan on making a live action adaptation if you can't even get the voices right?
It's funny how the Director of Dragon ball evolution admitted he never read a single chapter or watched a single ep. Dragon ball evolution is just a disgrace and an embarrassment to original Dbz fans.
I hope they don't make a live action version of Akira
So just like video game movies, animes movies will never be good
I loved the ghost in the shell live action movie. It was good
The thumbnail was reason enough
Yeah Hollywood, You Leave Anime out of your films, OK? Leave that Animation concept to the dedicated works of the Japanese as well as the recording for this audience to the studios of Aniplex, Bandai Visual, FUNimation, NIS, NYAV Post, Sentai Filmworks, and Viz Media. THAT'S THEIR JOB NOT YOURS, (Grabs shirt and jerks you towards my face) GOT IT?! (Throws you back against the wall)
You only had to mention dragon ball evolution. That's enough of a reason.
Anime is the prime example of why 2 nukes were just not enough.
Luckily, one of my favorite anime, berserk, is possibly one of the most western of all anime, being set in a medieval Europe type setting with little to do with Japanese culture. I still wouldn't get my hopes up for a good Hollywood adaptation. They'd probably screw it up
Nostalgia Critic is gonna suffer tremendously from reviewing the infamous disaster of Dragon Ball Evolution.
It's funny how they don't want to say white washing doesn't work.
Terrible videos
Hollywood can but of course you need the right anime and the right people to do it. Ps watchmojo dont know any about anime. But any way Fullmetal alchemist brotherhood would be perfect, get the right people stick to the blue print and it might work. Same thing with avatar just keep it out of the wrong hands. They gave to some nigga that only saw to episodes. Then change everything with his only excuses being that he is indian and that oh its for kids. The show itself was made for kids with mature concepts that help broaden their horzion and helps them learn something
Anime Adaptations are no different from comic or novel adaptations. Don't give them to hacks that don't care about the material (Michael Bay, Paul Anderson, etc), and studios that only care about how much money the title alone can bring in (Fox).
Problem solved.
