I for one welcome our new live action anime overloads and can't wait to see Inuyasha large and in charge on the big screen and I know quite a few of you will be chomping at the bit for others on that list you've been fapping to in your deepest fantasies! Quote: VIZ Media has launched a new wholly-owned Hollywood-based company named VIZ Productions to produce and license live-action theatrical film and TV projects based on animated and manga series, incuding properties its Japanese parent companies Shogakukan, Inc. and Shueisha, Inc., as Hakusensha. VIZ Productions will also serve as liaison between Japanese creative licensors and Hollywood production houses, studios and agents and plans to produce or license live action films covering a wide range of graphic novel genres. Jason Hoffs, formerly of Dreamworks, will assume the role of Head of Production. Viz has specifically mentioned titles Naruto Bleach Death Note Inuyasha Naoki Urasawa’s Monster Variety adds Vampire Knight

The legacy of anime as we know it is DOOMED!! xD But seriously, do they have the assets, besides the anime rights, to pull of such a thing? Perhaps I'm confused but it sound to me like they're going to produce Americanized versions--LIVE ACTION NO LESS--of anime they've dubbed or are currently dubbing. I like the idea but somehow it just don't sit right with me.

OMG A One Piece live action movie will be so epic if they do it right. And they'll need more than one film to do the whole series. At least 6..... Edited by Maffy, Jul 23 2008, 01:13 PM.

In fact, choices that would make more sense would surely be Beet, Black Cat, Ruroken, Shaman King, Zombie Powder, Buso Renkin, Kurohime, or Ranma/Maison Ikkoku for the less shonen jump thing. although the only high sellers of those are Black Cat, Ruroken, Buso Renkin, Ranma, and Ikkoku, so half of those don't count for nowt

Did they just mention Bleach LIVE ACTION They surely couldn't intend to do what the auther of the series said couldn't be made into a movie. Bleach as a movie... Yes Please, BLeach as a live action... I'd give that a 5-10% chance of delivering. Make an all CGI movie 10 years from now... Yes thank you for delivering my dream(Hopefully) ...Indie That sugestion list is much much better. Zombie Powder live action with the right actors... Edited by Shinrin, Jul 23 2008, 05:37 PM.

However you know they are going to pick the ones that are the most popular with the mainstream Adult Swim crowd to do first. They have to bank up some heavy cash first to try and make some of those that have a smaller more serious following. I'm not familiar with at least four of the titles on Noodles list, so I'm personally not sure how good they would be and if I would want to see them or not. I'm sure that holds true for others and other titles as well. I think that like Marvel and DC they would have to show they can make quality films first, then they could get a box office draw to more unique anime down the road based on their reputation. I see Cowboy Bebop got it's own forum and I predict that we will be seeing more new forums in the LAM block very soon. The dream team threads alone will be worth it.

You're right, movies of Black Cat, Rurouni Kenshin, even Shaman King would be better than Naruto. Even though I love Naruto, I think it would be the least successful in translating it to a live action movie. RuroKen would be perfect though. Don't know about Buso Renkin though. I enjoyed the manga plenty, but I think RuroKen would be the better of Watsuki's works to go with, it has a much more deep history behind it. Zombie Powder could be bad ass though, and I honestly think Hunter X Hunter would be too if done right. This announcement just has all my gears turning now.
