Beyond AKIRA (which already seems to be in the pipeline), which anime do you think is next up in line to bewhitewashedadapted by Hollywood?
With 90s kids coming into full adulthood and having lots of spending money, I'm thinking we're not too far from a Gundam adaptation. What I'm really rooting for though is a Netflix version of:
That looks like:
And not like:
Fine then, Perfect BlueWe have that it was called Inception!
Goldenboy
Fine then, Perfect Blue
Black Swan
I will actually watch/support Sailor Moon x Mean Girls.
To be completely fair, I think it could work well as a western reinterpretation. A story of an old actress recalling her long career and the lines blurring between reality and cinema actually seems ripe for adaptation. Sounds Hollywood as hell actually. It would lose the very specific japanese historical elements via translation, but those could be reinterpreted through American history.I wonder how or if Millennium Actress would work.

Tokyo Ghoul starring Taylor Kitsch as Ken Kennedy.
Given it's absurd popularity and the fact that most of the characters are not Japanese (meaning they could circumvent the controversy) I think this has a good shot.
Would have to be a TV show, I don't really think it could work as a movie.
Totally agree with this. You could recapture elements of the story, but not the essence that makes the film special.I think the part of the problem with adapting a lot of Satoshi Kon's stuff into live action is it kind of defeats the point. He used animation in such a profound and expressive manner that few rarely ever did that I find turning his films into live action kind of betrays the point to some extent. Yeah you can tell the same story in live action but it wasn't just the story that made Millennium Actress such an incredible movie.

True, can't think of an actress ever pumping up to the point where they had a full six packThere's literally one Asian character and her being Asian (while everyone else isn't) is a plot point. They kind of have the problem that the title is Engrish, but it's kind of stuck. Maybe they'd just call it "TITAN"![]()
The thing they're more likely to mess up is making Mikasa a super skinny hollywood model type, when Mikasa is supposed to be buff as fuck.
Attack on Titan, but then everyone will get mad when Eren Jaeger isn't Japanese.![]()
A reboot of The Guyver ....because we need MORE Mark Hamill!
Anime should just stay anime. It never translates well.
How about Jin-Roh? That could actually be done without looking like an embarrassing mess that appeals to no one and bleeds money.
Berserk starring Toby Maguire as Guts
Perfect for low budget productions with strong stories.
I won't accept Amuro Ray without his proper Canadian accent
ctrl-f + Bible Black
Also with white people.
Afro Samurai, starring Dan Akroyd.
I am aware of this.
Also although it would be white washed to hell and back I feel like Samurai Champloo could work kinda well...but you would need to nail the feel/style. And resurrect Nujabes.
Nausicaa by Disney could be the goat.
