We’ve been talking about anime properties such as Cowboy Bebop, Neon Genesis Evangelion and more getting the ‘Hollywood Treatment’. So which ones are you most excited about?

I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.
I’m still waiting for that live-action Monster….
I think they should do a live action Cowboy Bebop first. The type of show Cowboy Bebop is would require more focus on story and they way they craft it rather than special effects. And it they do it right, then maybe the others will take a hint and follow suit.
I don’t see the point. If it’s good anime, it’s good as-is.
I’m not excited for any of the live actions at all.
And then of course there are people that like to collect both.
I would like to see Fist of the North Star made. And the actors are all from the WWE. John Cena, Baptista, the Undertaker…this was made for them.
I would personally LOVE to see Full Moon o Sagashite made into a film.
I loved the manga, but hated the anime. It wasn’t very true to the story… But if a live action movie was made, AND was true to the manga, I would go see it around a hundred times.

Parasyte would be a cool live action movie, too!
