ever since the popularity of "the animatrix" it seems that movie industries have been doing anime with the movies. with the latest adaptation "the chronicles of riddick" i ask when does it end, first kill bill, van helsing now this? dont get me wrong im glad that its getting mainstream appeal but the only thing i found good was the animatrix, and i even had a few problems with a few of the series on their (come on the director of "aeon flux" is on their? who even watches that) soon people will mistake the bad movie-anime for anime just being bad. why dont they just stick to bad games with their terrible scripts

The Van Helsing animated film wasn't anime. And if memory serves, this Riddick thing isn't, either.
Anyway, I don't think you have much to worry about. Adult Swim and the occasional success of films like Spirited Away do infinitely more for anime's "image" in this country than some dodgy straight-to-video American productions that barely anyone will ever bother to see could. |

They may be spinoffs of bad movies that no one'll remember in five years, but at least people in the American movie industry are waking up to the fact that there's an audience for adult-oriented animation, and right now they're trying to find it. Although it does suck that, Tarantino aside, the most hackish people in Hollywood are the ones making the effort. Hopefully they'll realize that no one's buying it because its a Van Helsing spinoff, not because its animated.

I think if a few anime movies were put into theatre's here, anime would get a bit more widestream support it truly deserves.
I always wanted to see Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal Director's Cut come to theatre's. |

Well one of the first planned Anime movies based on an American movie, is based on John Carpenter's Escape from New York. And it's being done by a real Anime company. (Production I.G.) not the crap that universal studios is pumping out to promote their flicks (Van Hellsing And Riddick)
as far as i know, it's slated for release sometime next year.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that the person who wrote this thread does not actually know what a 'scapegoat' is.
