The coming Ghost in the Shell movie with Scarlett Johansen as Motoko and a white Bato, made by the guy who did Snow White and the Huntsman, gonna be fucking dope!!

>>137371257

I saw one of the Bleach musicals and it was much better than expected. Also, the actors actually act like anime characters instead of like boring Japanese.

>>137373163
Please don't remind me. It fucking hurts, then again, I've heard alot of bad things about Arise aswell, perhaps the IP is going downhill and it would be better to just let it die.

>>137372326
>Speed Racer

The embodiment of live-action anime that got utterly screwed because freakin Iron Man premiered around the same time

It's pretty much reached cult status. A lot of people really like it, which I'm always pleasantly surprised by.

I never understood why they do these live action adaptations. The effects look like trash and the more over the top scenes end up looking silly. It seems fine for comedy or slice of life stuff, but not anything that would require CGI.

Not anime related (yet), but I thought the Ace Attorney movie was pretty entertaining. Mitsurugi/Edgeworth is a cool motherfucker in any medium.

>>137378984
I loved it till they had Koyuki sing, and they used violins or something to represent his voice instead of someone actually singing. At first I thought it was figurative of how nice his voice is, but then they used in during the climax scene, and just undermined the entire movie.

None of this yet? Seriously?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=znbJI7TP_zY

Fucking Speedracer was such a god awful movie

5 minutes into the movie, CGI streets galore. Then you have a kid flipping a dude off later on. Worst movie I've seen till now.

>>137372196
>>137372302
For some reason I hate these movies with a passion.
It might be because it paints the school and the students in a comical way, graffiti every, Yoshihiko kicking a cg water tower, etc. Feels like it shits on what the manga portrayed, which was more subdued and realistic since it was supposed to be a contemporary reflection of real life delinquency.

I like the Top wo Nerae one with Aya Ueto. Also that volleyball one too.
