One thing I think we all need to keep in mind is that the few of us in the anime fandom that try to boycott live action adaptions of our favorite anime really won't make much, if any difference at all. It's not like the only people who went to see Speed Racer were the people who watched it back in the 70's (or whatever decade it was from).
I think we've for the most part assertained by now if we want to see it or not (DBE), I for one won't go see it in theaters, but can't deny that I'll eventually watch it on DVD or something. I feel if I try really hard not to remember the original content, I might actually enjoy it so some extent. I mean, i've always thought that there's really no point to retelling an anime in live action unless you do some modification to the story or story-telling. Why would a company like fox pick up the rights to make a movie only to show us exactly what we've already seen, except with a ton of work put in? In my opinion, fans need to be more open to this sort of take on the content, and be a little less... well, fanboy-ish. At least the actors all seem to be decently happy with the project, that's got to say something. |

As has been mentioned it's ANN policy not to do April Fool's jokes from this website. |

What do those have anything to do with anime/manga adaptations? They were from American comic books. |

I was criticized because I said ALL live action flicks, now, I am criticized for bringing up some American Comics....LOL I can't win. I was trying to point out how bad LIVE ACTION FLICKS on a whole have been. That's all |

Truthfully, DB:E doesn't look nearly as bad as the hate makes it out to be. People are making this out to be the next Mortal Kombat: Armageddon or, even worse, Alone in the Dark. From what I've seen, this movie will be good, if it's nothing more than a goofy and fun popcorn flick. I know a guy who saw the movie online who is a Dragonball Z fan, and he seemed to enjoy it. I mean, he didn't say it was amazing, but he did like it.
I mean, let's face it: this movie won't be as bad as you think it will. Campy? Sure. Goofy? Sure. Wasn't Dragonball also campy and goofy? I think so. After all, when you get right down to it, the Dragonball, NOT DBZ, feel is related in the film. I think they will try to tighten things up for the sequel, which looks, by this point, inevitable considering that the budget was confirmed as $45 million, AND it essentially made about half it's budget back in Asia. 
Still, what I want to see as a result of this film is other, better Live Action movies based on anime, like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Evangelion, etc. being made. Cowboy Bebop looks like it'll be faithful considering Sunrise has the series on a choke collar. |

Honestly? As a semi-fan of DragonBall and it's follow ons, the movie looks okay. Not great. Not, "Wast $7 to see." But maybe $2 at the cheapo theater down the street.

People hated Speed Racer because it looked like an acid trip on acid trip and it made their heads hurt. I haven't heard anyone say they hate it because it's unfaithful to the anime.

You haven't heard that you say? Either that's a very unfunny and poor attempt at April Fool's humor or you're living in one very dark and deep cave up there in Denver. Maybe the altitude and thin air is affecting you. |
