Very cool interview! Fate Zero is one of my all time favorite series, and it's cool that Ei Aoki would also like to see a live action adaptation of it too!

I'm surprised she described Megazone 23 as "not really taking off here." It was a pretty popular tape among the fledgling anime fandom in the mid-90s. I mean, if you're going to add "compared to Japan," very few things would probably qualify as taking off. I don't see how it's release was any more limited than any other 80s OVA.
I have the odd feeling I've seen pieces of this article already... Maybe something I read on twitter?

It would've been fun to hear Aoki's thoughts on directing the first episode of Fate Zero, and how characters were circling other characters like sharks when giving exposition.

Great interview. I didn't realize how young he was. A lot of potential greatness could come from him in the future. I hope all 3 of those projects he is working on see the light of day, and I hope we get to see much much more from him in the future.

I'd think Ei Aoki already achieved that in his own way, having directed titles like Fate/Zero and Wandering Son, which couldn't be more different--and oh yeah, believe it or not according to the encyclopedia he even did something like Girls Bravo back in the day.

did that REALLY ACTUALLY HAPPENED??
i highly doubt that would the case cause i definitely would have known since like with all ecchi/fanservice harem , i am a die hard fan of both the anime and manga versions of Girls Bravo and there would have been a mention of ei aoki having a part in that project.

i only have three little words for that. OH HELL NO!!
if that happened , every hardcore otaku and causal anime fan would avoid that mess like the plague. even if its from the fate series, anything anime related that get adapted by big time hollywood companies like HBO, is a recipe for disaster. if anyone really wants the fate series to be adapted to be shown in the US, just show the anime series on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block and never EVER even attempt to try a live action monstrosity. it will never work.

I basically came to comment about the suggestion of HBO doing Fate/Zero and I must say that, AT LEAST, HBO is by far the last idea that I would have for anyone handling the Fate franchise in live action. I mean, just taking the example of A Song of Ice and Fire translated to Game of Thrones is enough to know where it would end up.
It was a cool interview nonetheless, with a little insight in the difference between working in a movie and ufotable as an anime studio.
