It's not just Japan!! The biggest offender of this IMO is the Matrix series. To appreciate the full story you have to watch the main movies, Animatrix, and play through the horrible Enter the Matrix game. |

Not necessarily. The Animatrix, even at its most plot-involved, is simply a collection of side stories. Ditto with Enter the Matrix. You can still watch the core movie trilogy and appreciate the story just fine without having to know how it all started, or how Neo's little brown-noser got there. With Blood or .hack, however, if you miss out on one part, you're more or less lost. Miss out on the manga side stories and you're up the creek. Miss out on the anime and you're up the creek. Yet with The Matrix, knowing what Niobe and Ghost where up to is not exactly vital. The Matrix is also only spread across three separate media rather compactly as a single trilogy, a single anthology, and a single game. Whereas Blood spanned four separate media (cinema, literature, comics, and gaming), .hack's spanned four separate media in multiple incarnations (three separate television series, one direct-to-video series, one video game series, and I think two or three separate comic series), and Gundam SEED is spread as widely as .hack (two television incarnations, four major comic series, at least one canon video game—or part of it, anyway—an internet series, multiple photo novels, various MSV works, and a cinematic installment in the works). I'm not saying Japan is the only country doing this, but they are the ones who seemingly love to take the most vexing approaches and spread it the thinnest. |

Eh...I'm not a huge fan of the Matrix but if you just watch the films you're getting enough plot and closure to ignore a couple of minor loose ends. And to be honest, the Japanese examples are child's play compared to what DC and Marvel have been doing with their "cross-over events": seven issue mini-series that in order to understand you need to read every about 50 or so regular comicbooks. |

ok Blood is a pretty damn good anime. short, but awesome. and the gore.....*drool*.
but seriously, live action anime is bad, as seen in Sentai shows and street fighter movie. when i told my mom there was gonna be a speed racer movie, she looked like she had shit her pants. Transformers is gonna bomb like nagasaki. heres the point short and sweet: 90% of any adaptations by america SUCK!!! |
