I gotta be honest.
I have literally zero faith in live action anime adaptations, be they made in Japan or here.
I will admit though, there has been one or two good ones. The Phoenix Wright movie is apparently good.

Tiger & Bunny is actually one of the few anime properties that will adapt fantastically to live action.
Only like 2 of the characters are Asian, the story takes place in New York, and the story is about studios turning superheroes saving people into a reality show and having each hero earning points for showboating while saving people. The heroes are also sponsored by companies and have their logos plastered all over the heroes costumes. Really interesting premise and the anime already took place in America, so it'll adapt well.

I'd argue something like Ace Attorney or GTO is much easier to replicate via live-action, maybe Death Note as well, a show that doesn't require a lot of CGI or expensive sets & all that.
Cowboy Bebop, Bleach, etc. are much harder to get right because they're not as set in reality compared to the shows mentioned above & would require more work/money to get it "right". Dragon Ball Evolution is a good example of how they screwed up something that's rather removed from reality.

....Does anyone here remember how Dragon Ball Evolution actually tried to set up a sequel?
I love the response here by Schemmel And Sabat on Evolution.
A Ron Howard superhero movie? It's guaranteed to do well and be competently put together, at the very least.
It is in fact a very weird situation where the go to route of a superhero movie franchise is to start with the origin story but the only popular part of the franchise is the sequel.
The only other example I can think of that is even in the same ball field as it is how Persona is much, MUCH more popular in the west than SMT proper.

Don't think either of them are going to stop anytime soon. I keep thinking with each Im@s game that will be the one they localize but if the ps4 one doesnt then I give up

The stigma attached to moe characters and the idol/dance group aesthetic is what's keeping those franchises from being popular to western audiences.

i was like that once
then i saw the glory of Anastasia

With all these same week/same day translations and funimation bringing over a ton of questionable material for disc release it's never been a better time to be a western fan of some of this garbage.
The funny thing is it all comes back around to one show which took the brave step of calling out fansubbers on their bluff that if they did timely sub releases they'd stop their shit and the eventual expansion of crunchyroll into everything.
That show? Naruto Shippuden.

You know I always wanted to post here since Toonami is (mostly) about Anime.
Problem is that I live in Canada where we don't have Toonami, or 'mature' anime on Canadian television for that matter. Will Toonami-GAF accept a Canadian in it's midst?

Holy shit. There was an HxH dub announcement? Where?
We have lots of regulars who don't live in America. All are welcome.
Viz announced it at ComicCon.
Hunter X Hunter is outstandingly well animated for a show over 100 episodes. It's also got some amazing moments and is generally interesting throughout. It does have the worst first ending theme of any show ever, so bad it took me half a year to watch the second episode.

In that case, I plan to post here more often. Glad to hear.

HAHAHAHAHA! A Canadian? No way.
Welcome to Toonami-GAF. Enjoy your stay and don't feed the non-canon member.
DS, we're like brothers, no, we're nakama, but that last post of yours...
Life finds a way.
Also welcome. ;o

Don't let me break the last bond between us.
Put on the headband, Bishop.
Oh, hey. Welcome. Anyone from AnimeGAF can participate and yell during airings. There should be a Toonami stream if you don't have access to it on TV normally.

Maybe when Ocean Group starts getting dubs again. Until then, all we can do is wait.
Also glad to be here.
Indeed I come from Canada-land. A bizarre place where not even the big 3 air on television.
I'm also sorry to say that I have already fed the non-canon member on Gundam-GAF
I will need to look into that stream, since I have no way of actually watching Toonami otherwise. But otherwise, glad to be a part of the community.
