The List - 5 Unrealized Western Anime Movies

"Hollywood anime adaptation" is something that makes me cringe every time i hear about it because of the long dark story of what happens every time Hollywood tries to do anime adaptations.
The only one so far that was somewhat good was "Alita: Battle Angel" and even that one had some problems.

So no, it is very difficult to think of buy a ticket for any Hollywood anime adaptation.

Weta Workshop concept art revealed plans for Westernization of the story with characters named "Ray" "Kate Rose," and "Susan Whitnall.

Are Americans so weakminded that they have a mental breakdown if a character has its own Japanese name??

Poor little snowflakes...

I dunno, why the hell does every isekai have some bland Japanese college student?

It’s called writing who you know. And it’s not like some great works haven’t arrived from this, like The Magnificent 7.

Bland is subjective, but I'm trying to think of a single isekai that has a college student...


Where are you getting your information from?

How are those even remotely comparable? One is an original work made in a foreign country for their own people and the other is an American adaption meant to erase foreign cultures and voices and passing it off as your own. Are you really getting that upset that other countries make stories that don't focus on Americans?

I’m saying people localize things all the time, to introduce stories through a familiar cultural lens, whether it be that miniseries with the Indian Spider-Man or other localizations. These things happen and it’s not just Americans that do them.

God forbid you're exposed to something outside your "familiar cultural lens".
Why can people not comprehend that they're not the center of the universe??

The answer to his question is yes. That's why we still see Japanese culture being removed from games, adaptions, and anime dubs coming into the year 2020.

And unlike other minority groups in America, it's seen as perfectly acceptable to erase Japanese culture and not a taboo thing at all by the general public.
