Yeah, I read the manga right after I saw the movie the first time. It was just pure bliss. Cameron will be able to do a good GUMN. He's done plenty of those, non cyborg, types of shows/movies.. Just a matter of who's going to be placed in the role..

The only thing that looks to be certain is.. Leo to be in akira with talks of him "being" Akira.. That's not going to make good.. Or at lease to me.... Now, I can see him grungy and such.. hmmm don't quite know.

Getting occidental folks to do Japanese roles, is never a good idea...

Cold Storm · Aug 1, 2010

nope never is.. Don't ask me to throw out names.. that's the one bad thing about me... I can't remember a name worth... Sh1t!

A Brit as a ninja played out very well in this movie, although of course the story called for someone with substantial ties with New York, but still, it's just more proof that Hollywood shouldn't do anything with any Oriental themes. A Bulgarian studio did better than a Hollywood one in a similar movie (Ninja Assassin).

And I'm really loving sphere's new PV:

Jessica Alba or Angel Jolie is my pick for GITS.

Alita is abit young so i have no idea who would fit her yet.

The only live show that was made by the Japanese and good was GTO, beside that all other live action shows made me hate them so much.

This link says it all!

I don't know about Akira... Person wise...

Not even remotely interested. There has never been a good live action adaptation of any anime or manga. All of them have sucked hard.

I would even shun an Elfen Lied or Evangelion live action.

entropy13 · Aug 2, 2010

I thought the Death Note live-action was good, although I haven't read the manga nor watched the anime. But the Iron Chef host, I mean the Police Chief and father was a plus lol

can't stop LOL'ing when I see him during the two movies, I always recall the opening for Iron Chef (where he bites on a bell pepper and smiles lol).

No jessica!!
But angelina jolie as a kick ass female warrior, i can see the picture, with a little characterization and she can come close to the "Major", she's got a lot of experience on action movies...

I have to disagree with both of those. Angelina always looks like she is "trying" to be sexy. And granted, it does seem to work for her, the Major's sexuality is a side note for her. She is sexy without even thinking about trying. That is hard to pull off. And while I think Jessica Alba can come close to getting that part right, she can't do subtle. The Major is a deep character and her actions are mostly cold, but occasionally give glimpses into a much deeper personality, like her usually protective nature of Aramaki. Her looking up to him as a father and like a good little daddy's girl, trying to become a better version of him is one of the more obvious things. That she can't do.

If I had to pic right now, I would use some of the other roles as the "big name players" and give the Major's role to Mary E. McGlynn. We forget that she is hot, an actor (several 1 shot roles on various TV shows), and already IS the Major.

Mussels · Aug 2, 2010

i think JA would look good in the role, but as TLM said... subtle may not work out.

who is mary E whatever?

ebolamonkey3 · Aug 2, 2010

Hey guys, where do you read your manga? I always used Onemanga, but now it's gone

i read it while on the toilet, if this helps.

entropy13 · Aug 2, 2010

I read it in front of my PC. LOL

Try mangafox.

djisas · Aug 2, 2010

I like to read here and there, now and then...
I have some digital manga, but that does not attract me, manga is best served when you can hold it and flip the pages...

Cold Storm · Aug 2, 2010

I'm with you DJ.. Even Mussels.. I hate to read manga on the web.. But, I got a tablet notebook that makes it worth the read since I can portrait view things...

As for the live action movies.. I'll have to read it all again.. can't comment since i'm a little busy at work to fully go into it.

scoutingwraith · Aug 3, 2010

Ok here is something interesting.....

I cant seem to recall from which anime is my avatar from. Can anyone recognize it?

This is the full pic of it and i had it on my HDD for a good year or so.

djisas · Aug 3, 2010

With only that much its hard...
If i had something bigger to go with...

AhokZYashA · Aug 3, 2010

its hard, you have to get much more than that pic.

She is the Major's English voice actor. She also has done several roles for Star Trek, Malcolm in the Middle, and a bunch of other Sci-fi stuff. You probably know her better for the game VO she has done.

P.S. Now that I think about it, I am being inflexible. Mary is in 44 now and we would need someone much younger to be the Major.

Her IMDB

"the world god only knows" anime starts in october accordig to the manga's newest chapter.

djisas · Aug 8, 2010

Check the coming soon link on my sig, lots and lots of anime that is in the making added this past few days, the list is updated almost daily...

morpha · Aug 8, 2010

Battle Angel Alita is one of my favorite manga. Since Alita is meant to be young and have an innocent quality about her I reckon Summer Glau would be a good cast.

She has experience with crazy combat tricks from her history in Ballet and Serenty/Firefly so she would be able to pull off the Panzer Kunst (Cyborg Martial Arts).

She also has a slight stature and long black hair.

EDIT: Im looking forward to the new Japanese Gantz Live action movies (despite the high chance they will suck beyond hope)

scoutingwraith · Aug 8, 2010

Has anyone found a good Online Manga reader like onemanga.com used to be?

morpha · Aug 8, 2010

Does it matter? They will all be shut down just like onemanga soon...

and the technicality which allows us to speak of downloading anime titles that aren't licensed is over aswell.
(that said FMA:Brotherhood was licensed from it's beginning and that didn't stop you all)
