>thinking this is a bad live anime adaptation

Anon, you CLEARLY have not seen some of the crap that japan has pumped out. If anything this is probably a decent adaptation as far as adaptations go

It was good

Edge of Tomorrow was fucking good senpai.

>>77245844
I liked it. Was more of an adaption of the concept.

I enjoyed both but view both as separate entities that share a theme.

that's why you leave the adaptations to USA fucking gooks

>>77245856

Yes

>>77245856
USA harem LN adaptions when?

>>77245844
it's a start for live action movie adaption
the bar isn't really set high, but it's probably the best adaption by a american studio making a movie based off a manga

>>77245856
And then there's Dragonball Evolution.

the SAO live action will be the same as Evolution

Death note

>>77245860
Isn't the live action planned as a TV series?

>>77245844
It was LN adaptation.
Wasn't half bad though I wouldn't really call it adaptation because it was based on the book very loosely and besides basic premise of bad aliens attacking and time loops almost everything else was changed.

This is the man playing L in the american adaptation of Death Note. Now I'm not /pol/ but at some point you have to ask if its a little bit ridiculous to have a rugged black man portraying a fragile sleep deprived Japanese autist.

>>77245844
Actually it was passable, rare but yea.

>>77245866

>>77245866
I agree. My issue is not with the black wash, but how much he doesn't appear to look the part.

Guess they're going a different route with the characters.

If you think about it, the design behind L was to make you think "This guy is supposed to be L?"

So when you apply it to this, it becomes rather racist.

Nigga it was exactly the same. Worthless details like who can eat more sour plumbs and whether or not he started using a melee weapon are irrelevant- same as the dumb filler they decided to supplant it with.

Speed Racer is still the best anime adaptation.

Still the best thing ever.

>>77245866
If we had seen tidbits of his character acting as L and it was unconvincing then I would agree but you're just judging him as face-value, here. He's not particularly "rugged" for a black man and so far nothing tells us he can't play the part.

>>77245844

Huh, wow, never saw it that way.

It was good and I'm glad they're working on a sequel. Hope it involves cage stuck looping back to after that battle after a long life.

>>77245875
Who's mah nigga? You're my nigga!

>>77245876
They had a visual representation of L and still decided to go completely off the rails. I mean, maybe he might be great and I probably won't see it because live actions are usually awful but man, they really went out of their way to change L's appearance.

>>77245876
not him, but I've seen the guy and he's not frail looking at all.

I like how in the AoT adaptations titans just look like regular Japanese parents

>>77245878
I know I read it somewhere, but I don't remember where. On the DN wiki, it says

>Obata speaks of his concern, during the development of the early manga chapters, that L would appear to be "so suspicious that Light would know instantly it was L if they ever met."

>>77245866
Depends, are they doing a straight adaptation or just taking the basic plot and making it their own thing?

>>77245884
I have no clue, I just saw it on the news. I'm kind of hoping they just say fuck it and change everything. We've already got a sub par live action Death Note. Might as well just try something new with the material.

>>77245883
>"so suspicious that Light would know instantly it was L if they ever met."
Isn't that how it ended up being? Light meet L and he immediately knew he was weird that he basically accepted right away that he was very likely the real L.

>>77245880
Might be because I'm simply not hung up on that kind of stuff but to me L's appearance was never a core element of his character (as opposed to say, Light's handsomeness for instance). His attitude, mannerisms and quirks were much more important imo. So yeah, if the dude can pull of the scrawny sleep-deprived weirdo act just fine, no reason to complain on my end.

>>77245881
I don't know man, doesn't seem particularly rugged to me.

>>77245886
That was actually a major tension point in the story. When they're in the testing hall and Light KNEW it was him. It ended up being the catalyst for the next several chapters.
>>77245887
yeah I guess you're right, maybe I'm just a bit too hung up on the appearance since I'm a lot more visually focused when it comes to learning and such. Who knows, maybe, it actually be good.

>>77245888
>When they're in the testing hall and Light KNEW it was him.
Oh yeah, when their eyes meet the first time. Jesus it's been so long since I read the manga.

that movie was really good compared to the usual shit hollywood craps out. it actually tried to be fun.

>>77245900
This. What seperated this from other alien invasion movies was that it was "massive human army engages massive alien army", sort of like Starship Troopers. But once they made it past the beach it become your standard "small squad of spec ops soldiers single-handedly save the world"

But overall it was a pretty good film.

Stop this fucking shit.

Original is a story of a young soldier growing up on the battlefield, with a bittersweet ending where he takes on the burden of his dead waifu and will, just like her, spend his life in the battle until the same thing happens to him and he leaves her legacy to the next person.

Movie is a story about a dude cheesing his way through every obstacle only to reach a typical sappy Hollywood ending because the world-destroying ayys have a conveniently placed Overmind right there and nobody dies because lol one last time shift.

It was good because it had good budget and professional cast in comparison to all other LA adaptations, but it suffers from Hollywood taking control of the plot and making it the same cookie cutter action movie as they always do.

>>77245866
Your dad didn't mind when a bunch of western actors filled the roles of the adapted 'Seven Samurai' previously held and portrayed by Japanese actors. And admit it, a bunch of non-weeaboos aren't gonna dish out money for theater tickets to see the original from Japan.

There's always the chance that it'll do just fine.

More "adaptations" should follow its standard. If you're going to make it different from the original and only take certain inspirations from it, then make a new name instead of slapping the original name on there for brand appeal like that shit they're calling "Ghost in the Shell".

An alarmingly-high percentage of those who watch anime and manga, have been deprived of the knowledge necessary to interact successfully with other human beings. Anime is nothing more than cartoons with featureless expressions, expressions that the audience often mimic and attempt to pass off as "socializing". More often than not, this is met with derision and scorn, as it should be.

Those who watch anime have not matured. They are stuck in eternal limbo between childhood and pubescence, completely unable to respond appropriately to others in the outside world. I suppose as long as they're contributing to society in some manner, shape or form by working a computer job from home instead of polluting outside with their awkward ugliness and foul scent, then I have no major issue with them.

I don't really have a problem with the castings, but in fiarness people do complain about Light. Light is meant to be perfect, - he's meant to look great, be fantastic socially, and is one of the smartest people around. A big part of Death Note is hat Light was so bored with his life because he was so perfect, that he wants to achieve more (i.e become a 'God').

The actor doesn't really look like someone you would see as 'perfect'.

Edge of Tomorrow was awesome, fuck you op

I thought it was more of an absolute power corrupts absolutely. The minute he realizes he can kill people in a consequence free environment he literally goes on a massive killing spree rationalized in so many ways, but ultimately reduces to the fact that even the best of us are monsters that are only lacking the opportunity.

>>77250278
>A big part of Death Note is hat Light was so bored with his life because he was so perfect, that he wants to achieve more (i.e become a 'God').
What? No, he decided to use the death note to bring absolute justice. He always believed in justice and being good but the world didn't work that way. Then, the story revolves around the corruption of absolute justice.
He didn't decided to be God just because he was bored.
