Most anticipated Hollywood Manga/Anime adaptations based on survey in Japan
- Thread starter Dale Copper
- Start date
I'm cautiously optimistic for the Your Name adaptation. It switched directors to Lee Isaac Chung, the director of Minari. Which is of course a very different movie, but it treated the cultural sensitivities and sensibilities with the care and respect they deserve. Which also plays a huge part in Your Name.
When was a western adaptation of Yu Yu Hakusho announced? The only one I know of is the one from Netflix that will be made by the same responsibles as Alice in Borderland.
They (Hollywood) have literally pulled off nothing else. Why would they magically pull off One Piece?
Gundam, Your Name, and Promised Neverland should be relatively easy adaptations based on how grounded they are compared to the others, but they'll find a way to fuck em up.
Gundam will become a pro-war story
Promised Neverland will make S2 of the anime look like a masterpiece
Your Name will be about 2 white people doing something. Probably starring Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield
Four Vagina:
Can't be worse than G-Savior, right?
As long as they keep the ridiculous names, we're off to a good start.
Cowboy Bebop was the only anime I can think of that should have not only been easy as fuck to adapt into live-action, but also seemed tailor made to appeal to western audiences with its look and action sequences.
And yet somehow Netflix managed to fuck up it up so hard it was cancelled less than a month after its premiere. So at the moment, I have ZERO faith in any adaptation working.
Yup. A Japanese production, so (quality aside) it doesn't fit the "Hollywood" criteria here.When was a western adaptation of Yu Yu Hakusho announced? The only one I know of is the one from Netflix that will be made by the same responsibles as Alice in Borderland.
Your Name. has had some amazing pedigree behind it but is stuck in development hell (which is pretty typical for any movie to be honest). JJ Abrams is producing it. Recently Lee Isaac Chung was set to direct it but he left the project after the success of Minari opened some other doors. The most recent script was written by Emily Gordon of The Big Sick fame. Previously the story was supposed to involve a Native American girl and a boy from an undetermined race who lived in Chicago.
I'm more interested in how many times they're gonna crack jokes about Luffy's penis stretching.

Yeah. With a decent budget. Colonies are easy film on location places with little to no extra flair. And CG giant robot battles in space can look good on a budget (usually).
Netflix REALLY needs to up their wig budget.
The issue ain't even budget on most of Netflix's stuffs!
Granted Gundam is SFX heavy even as far as SFX shows go but you could probably work with miniatures if CGI is too expensive but then again stop motion that can rival CGI would probably be far costier than just CGI.
My issue is that all nuances will be gone and they're gonna make a straight up prowar propaganda movie that goes against everything Gundam ever was about.
So THAT's what's keeping Togashi busy these days!When was a western adaptation of Yu Yu Hakusho announced? The only one I know of is the one from Netflix that will be made by the same responsibles as Alice in Borderland.

Where does the idea come from that Netflix can't do an anti-war movie? Who is even making big budget pro war movies at all in this day and age?
Making Gundam anti war is like the easiest box to check, you would have to be incompetent to fuck that up. The mere fact that you have a child soldier inherently sends that message.

Giving the guy who had a whole scene about Romeo and Juliett laws a property that sexualizes a fourteen-year-old girl.
One Piece, even if the actors and directors get it right, is just so expansive that no live-action version will get very far, or else everything would be truncated to fit in with the existing sets and budget.
For Your Name(.), even with a sensitive direction, the story's inherent dream-logic would be hard to get right, since it was a delicate balance of all of that in the original film as well.
I'm not going to say that I have any certain expectations about the Gundam show, but it feels like it has the most potential. It's in the well-established genre of space operas, and in a franchise where people already expect the various series to have different continuities and re-tellings, and it isn't all that tied to a Japanese setting or humor style. Unless Skull Island's visuals were 100% Larry Fong, at least it could have some good images.

Only one on that list I'm looking forward to is Gundam and not because I think it'll be particularly good; I just figure it'll have some cool new mech designs that'll get one-off gunpla kits.
I can't imagine One Piece will be better than Cowboy Bebop (which I liked) given Luffy's powers and CGI, and even if I did wind up liking it there's no guarantee Netflix won't cancel it.

Netflix Bebop didn't even have the effects budget to show a single space fight and showed their ships maybe a handful of time ever despite them being in almost every episode of the anime. I have no idea how they'll be able to properly convey fights between multiple mobile suits. At least you can get away with them being full CG and they are machinery which is even easier for CG so maybe it won't be so bad
it's insane how many misfires Saint Seiya can survive and still remain anticipated by the fanbase.
just 1/4 of the amount of duds would have killed any other series.
maybe people just have that much faith in the second half of Lost Canvas getting animated at some point if anything can get geennlit...

I'd love to live in a world where they pull off Your Name but I have a really hard time envisioning it.
Conversely, I could definitely see 5 Centimeters Per Second getting pulled off, but I don't think anyone has discussed it. Weathering With You also seems a bit easier, as neither are quite as specific as elements of Your Name are.

I just wanna know how live action One Piece is gonna treat the more outlandish character designs that start to show up the further the series goes on, if it gets that far. East Blue doesn't have a ton of them outside of the Fishmen, but like... imagine live action Franky, Apoo, or Ivankov.

They are still building some ships, but they are filming at least by Spring.
Era members. I have seen this several times where a survey has like a 300-1000 sample size and people chime in with "lol..just 300?". If they actually understood sample size calculation, they would know that is a perfectly reasonable sample size for a survey: https://www.qualtrics.com/uk/experience-management/research/determine-sample-size/
Out of all those The Promised Neverland is probably the easiest to not fuck up out of all of them. Until later parts of course.
really curious how things are going to turn out. I'm rooting for Yuyu Hakusho to be good
It's one of my fave anime series
