[QUOTE="johnnype, post: 450009, member: 1944"] Alone? probably not. In the minority? Certainly. At least until we can see what they are going to do with it. If it's just going to be another CGI heavy movie then what's the point? IMO Anime serves a very legitimate purpose. It allows for action and violence that is not suited for children or for live action movies. The only movie that comes close to portraying the same kind of "look" that Anime conveys is the Matrix. Guess what? They were inspired by Ghost in the Shell and Ninja Scroll. Two of the best anime movies of all time. Not only that, as much as I love The Matrix (and I do) It doesn't hold up as well to repeated viewings as Akira or the others I mentioned above. The only thing that Hollywood might be able to offer in a remake of Akira is perhaps a tighter script. but only if it's given to the right people. That's a mighty big if. [/QUOTE]
