Ok let's stop for a moment here.
Both Japanese LA and Western adaptations of anime have largely been shit. I can only think of a handful of decent ones, and a whole bunch of shit ones.
What anime movie or series do you think would be most easily adapted? What things would be ABSOLUTELY 100% necessary to keep in a translation, and what kind of things don't really matter as much?

I seriously cant believe they made GITS a popcorn action flick.

Cowboy Bebop is a no brainer right now, capitalizing on GOTG and Star wars

That's actually a good point, space is in vogueat least until spaceX blows up another rocket
Similar issues with ghost in the shell though as far as tone and casting though

How so?
I don't think 1:1 adaptations are ever going to be a good thing.
Inspiration drawn from it is much better. Paprika=Inception, Perfect Blue=Black Swan
Loose adaptations or inspirations will be infinitely better, since nobody will be concerned with any sort of fidelity with the original, and the work could stand on its own.

Anime without explicit Japanese culture or know-how.
Things like psycho pass, cowboy bebop, berserk, hellsing. Problem is often that anime/manga pacing doesn't work as well in movies.

Cowboy bebop has introspective and serious moments just like GuyS did, and did it better in my mind I was never very impressed with ghost in the shell
And then they'll probably make everyone white as fuck and then 2 black characters
Faye should be Asian, spike a Jew, ed as ambiguous as possible
Death Note would be easy to adapt without fucking uplol

Berserk would be awesome but they'll probably do attack on titan instead which is fucking dumb
Hellsing we already have, the Kate beckinsale series is close enough
Psycho Pass would be perfect I think

Like he said, Cowboy Bebop. The five episodes that make up the main story can bd easily adapted into a movie. Getting Jet's and Faye's backstories to also fit into a single movie would be kind of hard though. Ed's backstory could be cut out, really.

Space is hardly even a neccessary part of the story, it's just the setting. You can't go into making Bebop thinking 'sci-fi', it's nothing like a typical sci-fi.
>>81093542
Psycho Pass, Monster, Knights of Sidonia.
Black Lagoon would be so easy to adapt I have no fucking clue why nobody has tried.
>>81093542
Girls und Panzer

It would easily be better than the Latina maid revenge ova shit too, Robertas blood trail that's it
Man that was bad I couldn't even finish it

I would also do Cyborg 009 and Gigantor.
