Surprised this wasn't posted already?
None of these Live Action Anime remakes have been particularly good.
Some of them have been... not bad (Detective Pikachu, Full Metal Alchemist). But. I'm just not feeling this. Going to go back and rewatch the original series and just enjoy the show done right.
'Ballad of Fallen Angels' is such a banger of an episode. You find another way to tell that much story in 26 minutes and I'll buy you lunch.
I'll have to check that out. Death Note had such a good premise and characters, but it kinda dragged at the end.
It's definitely it's own thing and more of a black comedy than anything, so keep that in mind and it's decc.
I can't tell if this looks kinds crap or acceptable.
Every location looks pretty cheap though. I want space Hong Kong and space Tijuana and space Tangier, everything in the trailer looks like a theatre set.
Part of me feels like that’s the vibe they are going for
Just excited for the music. The whole thing could suck but we have new compositions from Yoko Kanno confirmed so it'll at worst case be a decent thing to put on in the background
i have never seen the point of making live action versions of animation
The casting for the main character seems like it's off by a mile. Everything else looks pretty good so I'll give it a chance.
I was on the fence when it came to Faye and spike in the first teaser but now it’s spike that I’m still on the fence.
Faye is the only one who actually seems like the character. Jet isn't selling me on being permanently exasperated and John Cho isn't cocky enough to sell me on Spike.
There was another trailer that was kinda weird, lots of those panels and weird angles and transitions. This one looks better than that one.
It kinda was, but it was also doing a lot of weird different stuff that the anime wasn't doing, lots of weird tilting and zooming, and moving across comic book panel things
judging by spike saying "what the actual fuck" after mad pierrot shows up i have a feeling that this is going to be awful
i guess it could be hard to translate the vibe of that episode into live action but that's not an excuse to do soy bants imo
edit: probably just trailer editing but still
That and the "God damn it, Spike" have some real bad YouTuber sketch energy.
Really not getting good vibes about the script here
There's something off about how this one looks. I dunno what it is but I notice it with a lot of live-action remakes of animated stuff, they all have this air of like... cosplayers pretending to act out scenes from the show. It's like the actors themselves aren't comfortable with their own characters or something. It's super fucking weird and I can't put a finger on it.
Reminds me of this. Just some odd bizarro world where people are pretending to be the characters of the show.
I don't know if this is a low standards thing, but I'm definitely giving it a shot.
Spike's outfit feels very costume to me though.
Spike's outfit is the only thing that bugs me at this point
Mad Pierrot lets go. That might have been Jupiter Jazz at the beginning? A weeb can dream I guess. IDGAF if it looks kinda jank I'm hype.
Legit concerned that a live action Pierrot may be too scary for me. :ohnoes:
