From most analyses I've read, the fact that the pilots are children is an integral part of Evangelion. As I assume this wouldn't be the case for a live-action version, the end result would be a very different beast. Maybe one of the planned scenes involved Asuka playing Duke Nukem Forever on her Sega Saturn. |

Well hopefully I can go enjoy Morobito as I missed out on it. As for the live action Eva movie, it would need to have a budget bigger than Transformers, Anno being directly involved, and that penguin to be good. It won't come out.
Oh and Duke Nukem Forever is officially dead. |

wasn't the live action EVA movie a WETA pet project? how does ADV fit in?
WETA's probably the only production house with a shot at making a decent adaptation. |

Hopefully that does happen. The show had intelligence and a plot. That is saying a lot considering what is on now and days. But at least Bleach is still on air, so at least I still have one show to watch. |

Well for me, I really love Case Closed, saw the episodes in dub until 82, will watch more when I have the time to do so. As for anime on Adult Swim, I watch every anime there is, I love watching stuff in front of a TV because it feel more better than on a computer. The anime called Big O is my least favorite anime from Adult Swim, its just too boring to watch, almost killed me watching it but it still kind of good in some ways. |

I don't know if Case Closed returning is possible, the last I saw of it, it was airing on the Funimation Channel (and on their Colours TV block). Actually, all of Funimation's shows that once aired on Adult Swim except for Full Metal Alchemist seemed to have had their broadcast rights lapse and I don't really see them making an effort to get them back. |

Cartoon Network elminated Toonami, Toonami Jetstream and removed most of their anime. Although Naruto was retively popular, CN is completely unpredictable now and days. On another note, there is some Case Closed dvds on Netflix, but I have so many other series that I am watching that I just haven't had the time. |

i was at the ADV Panel. I loved his wording "The closer the Eva movie gets to reality, the less I can say. I can't say anything." He wasn't even ASKED, he just said it.
And I won Tsukihime on DVD in the last round of Jan Ken Pon VS Tiffany Grant. |

It wasn't their fault.They got the series when Geneon was still around but got only 10 when media blasters took over. You can't blame AS when the company went belly under. also there's also been some strain relationship between it's sister co CN and media blasters over not releasing all of Samuari X during it's toonami run and the sever edits. Either way,i knew it would return. Since CN and production IG (which in charge for Moribito & ghost in the shell: SAC & Blood Plus and who created the toonami original IGPX) have a rather decect relationship,i wasn't worried. Hopefully it'll return soon cause they'll be running out of new anime since code geass is ending in a month and there's no way it'll have new epsiodes of bleach for very long cause of the double epsiode schedule and the fact that the new season should've ended after the bount arc was over. I woulde like to see it continue but that's wishful thinking. |

Great to see [as] airing Moribito to the end this time. Now people will be able to see what a great show this is and, as previously mentioned in this thread, hopefully the other DVDs will be released soon.

Doesn't Ghost In The Shell count? And they were airing Moribito and GITS on the same night last year before it got taken off in January, so yes, they have done that before. Plus we've got Blood+ rejoining the lineup tentatively in June, so that's 3! And I don't think that's been done before, unless you count reruns of something (Mori or GITS) that's already been aired last year! So yeah, lovin' that FINALLY, Moribito will get continued! And from what I hear the series builds, and the last 16 episodes are a lot better than the first 10. Last edited by LagannImpact on Mon May 11, 2009 8:47 am; edited 1 time in total |

Gundam 00 didn't go on hiatus...AT ALL! Unless you're counting from the transition from Season 1 to Season 2, which is understandable since Season 2 was still airing in Japan as of March! But Season 1 aired COMPLETELY UNINTERRUPTED 2 eps a week on Sci Fi from November 24 to February 9, and Groundhog Day (2/2) was even a 4-pack because they weren't sure what to do with the midnight hour! |

Forgive me for assuming, but I'm guessing your exposure to comic book movies is mostly limited to the generally good ones that came out in the past 10 years or so? Because before that, comic book adaptations were even more hit and miss (almost entirely miss) than today. For about 50 years the comic book fans WERE "water logged," as you say, hoping for a good comic book movie, which I would argue was the original Superman in... what... 1980? (You can probably also justifiably argue that the original Batman from the 60s was also good in its campy way, because, you know, Bat-Shark-Repellant, but for now I'm going to go with Supes.) It wasn't until Tim Burton came along and re-did Batman, though, that I think comic book adaptations started to become truly good (and even then, there were a bunch of terrible movies after that, like all the other Batman movies from the 80s and 90s). So I don't think there's so much a need for anime fans to "get over themselves," as you say, as for a visionary director or producer to step forward and provide us with a movie that embraces the soul of its source material and not just try to cash in on the name. I hold out hope that Leo DiCaprio is that person, with his forthcoming adaptations of Ninja Scroll and Akira. Like the comic book adaptations, we need someone to treat the source material like something adults can enjoy, and not as a childhood distraction best left to the kiddies. |
