Step right up folks and place your bets, will it be Bleach next? Oh maybe Naruto? Code Geass? Gundam Wing? Elfen Lied? or perhaps Death Note? Which manga/Anime do you think is next on Hollywood list?
 
If they're smart they will adapt a Cowboy Bebop movie. Although I think DBZ is going to tank so bad that I think will probably shy away from future adaptations. At least for a while. I have heard Akira is in the works but I just don't think the story along with most other Anime stories will appeal to mainstream American audiences.
 
I think Gundam Wing is next....You can thank Michael Bay for that! :hehe:
 
Ghost in the Shell and Golgo 13 could be done......

I too think Cowboy Bebop would work really well in real life. At least the main character is already white, and they won't have to change as Asian guy into a white guy in order to risk "alienating" the US audience (a total BS assumption, IMO).
 
Hopefully the rumors about Keanu Reeves playing Spike are false, The last thing I want to see Spike doing is forcefully spewing a bunch of lines with the same inanimate face throughout the movie.
 
if Hollywood continues with their anime to live action screw ups then they should just stop. if they need to do more screwy adaptations though, they need to stay away from Ninja Scroll, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and Akira.

Keanu Reeves with an afro? A scary thought.

Well, they haven't thought about Sailor Moon yet.

no there's an anime that i would love to see Hollywood screw up. at least we'd be getting hot chicks is skimpy superhero school girl outfits.

14 year olds in skimpy school girl outfits!!!

Don't be sick man! Unless your 14 then that's okay:woot:
 
Pokemon should be coming in the next 15 years.


Ah, I hate anime anyways so I don't give a crap if they screw them up.
 
Next I guess will be Robotech, sadly, which has huge potential if done correctly and effectively.
 
I want an Evangelion trilogy. Also Fullmetal Alchemist.

Keep in mind this doesn't pertain to the question in the title but is what I would like to see.
 
I've always wanted to see a live action North American take on Sailor Moon :O. It would go one of two ways: incredibly awesome or hilariously awful. The latter is more likely, and I wouldn't care either way.

Saban who brought Power Rangers to the US tried to do a live action version of Sailor Moon based on Japans live action version. Thank God it didn't get picked up. You can find clips or an intro or something on youtube.
 
hmmm I bet Hollywood could screw up Getter Robo, Outlaw Star, Big O, they already messed up Gundam, there was already a live action movie of that

Oh I have seen them. Sailor Moon is a huge guilty pleasure of mine. I've even watched some of the Japanese live action ones.

There have been rumours of a Sailor Moon movie before. Lindsay Lohan was supposedly going to play Serena at one point, and before that I think Geena Davis wanted to produce and play Queen Beryl. Which actually would have been cool.

Well it was a low budget dtv movie, what did you expect?
The Guver had 2 movies, both weren't bad. I'm still waiting on a third.:csad:

I have never heard any of that before. I use to really like the show back in the day. I watched it on CN like everyone else did, but I'm really old school. I watched it when it aired on USA right after Savage Dragon or Ultraforce I think.

It would be nice to see another Guyver, part 2 being straight to video did offer good action scenes and a better story, the tone was also more serious. I'd like to see Big O in live action for some reason, I dunno. I always like the way the cartoon looked.
 
I want an Evangelion trilogy. Also Fullmetal Alchemist.

I just watched that recently. the first movie would be wicked with giant robot action, the last two would be laughed at as the kids go emo. I understood that last movie for it, but dang was it funny.
 
Hollywood doesnt look at anime as something special, they just see all of that as quick cash ins. I remember when I watched the live action version of Fist of the North Star, instantly pissed.
