What about the marvel stuff?


that there is a good point. however cause stan lee more or less had full reigns when they made their anime versions of iron man , blade and x-men,its a mood point. the same thing when he was mainly part of the anime version of heroman and the ultimo manga project he did with shonen jump.

then again considering that this is mr marvel himself and not someone from the dc camp that would have driven an anime committee completely bonkers with massive overhauls and stuff that would have peeved off the entire otaku community, its more or less a given madhouse gave stan the reigns when it came to those anime versions of those series.

I thought answerman's response to this question was insightful and spot on. I have some experience working with American and Japanese animation studios and I completely agree with his comments. I would also like to add that I am excited about LeSean Thomas' kickstarter pilot because he is an American creator that is using a Japanese studio to produce his project. Maybe it just takes having good relationships on a creative level to work across our borders successfully. I hope it starts a trend.

I wonder how much it would be different if the writer in question speaks Japanese?

I guess I should probably work on getting as much experience speaking and listening to Japanese in business settings to understand the subtleties before trying to work with anime...

Anime smile; my main dream is to get one of my novels made into an anime, so that's why I'm mentioning it.

What would Shakespeare say about Blast of Tempest or Romeo x Juliet?

He'd say, "Wow, you people still care about this stuff 400 years later?"
It wasn't done to really preserve plays like that - Shakespeare wrote his stuff with the intention of having it seen as disposable entertainment, but the actors he worked with got together a few years after he died and thought, "Hey... this stuff was actually really good," and got the First Folio printed, with (almost) all of his works.
And that's why we have more productions of Pericles in the past decade than almost any play by other 14th-18th-century authors, at least in the West.
Do not bother with Pericles. There's a reason they haven't made an anime of Pericles.
. . . oh, no, don't tell me someone did.

But Shakespeare would probably think those were truer to the spirit of his work than, say, some high-art production of Titus Andronicus using mime, and water balloons full of fake blood.
