Hey, the line for insulting 'DJ Milky' starts behind me.

I predict Courtney Love will have a staring role in this, because we need Princess Ai to do better (in other words, Ikki Tousen would be a launching pad for that other hideousness).

This will be worse than the live-action DOA movie.


I dunno. Ikki Tousen seems a bit too classy for Miss Courtney Love.

Also, is she even still involved with TokyoPop? I dunno.

oh god, how are they gonna override the oral sex and various other sexual components in this?

if theyre gonna adapt it to live action, THIS alone will give it an nc-17 rating.

It must be nice to have money to waste on a daft idea that will make no returns whatsoever, but that's Tokyopop for ya. I'm sure they will be able to find some budding young porn stars in California to make their début.

I doubt even Porn stars would want to participate in something with DJ Milky.

Over a year and a half since it was announced and still no sign of progress! Sure, it was a horrible, horrible idea that would fail miserably based on source material that was utterly frivolous to begin with, but that's why I really wanted to see this made as a live action American film. It's just such an awful idea that it's a shame that it's not going to happen.

Ah well, I guess I'll wait for the live action Kanokon movie to come out and have fun watching the distributors get slapped with child pornography lawsuits.
