Japanese Anime goes to Hollywood - 05-26-2009, 02:08 PM

These days, many Hollywood animes or movies are made based on existing Japanese animes.

In these seriese of TV show, NHK followes two stories.

1) Astoro boy (Japanese old animation) in CG animation movie
Japanese production fight with Hollywood to keep the original character design while Hollywood tend to change it to the American market.

2) Japanese company makes new anime toward Hollywood market
A Japanese animation production try to release Amarican taste anime in US utilizing famous american actor(Sumuel Jackson) and actress(Lucy Liu).

In these movies, all narrations are in Japanese but they have many interviews in English. You can enjoy 40% of these movies without understanding Japanese language.

As embedded movies are not allowed for these movies, I replaced then with links.

Sorry for no checking.

Wow Hollywood is taking a lot things from various countries and making them into movies. I hope they don't ruin Astoro boy because they all ready ruined Dragon Ball.

Well the good thing a Japanese company is making it. As always Hollywood wants to make changes. They should just leave it as the orginal anime/manga.

Thanks for the links.

Hollywood, most overrated vendor for entertainment that modern civilization created.

I don't think it is good for the whole anime scene.

They didn't get the message from Dragon Ball, did they?

Hollywood = corruptness itself

Sometimes I wish the creators of these animes would just pull a Sailor Moon and take away the licensing rights.

That's what a lot of people wish right now. There should be another Hollywood strike for the sake of preserving the anime scene.

Anyway, I'm not surprised from Hollywood, the General Motors of the entertainment world.

To play Devil's advocate, even if these movies suck (in fan's eyes) what they do is bring a title to a whole new audience. For some people Dragonball: Evolution will be their first exposure to Dragonball, and that will make them say "I want to see more" or "I want to see the original series". That is why even crappy movies are green-lighted: Exposure. Nine times out of ten the source will be more entertaining than the Hollywood remake, but what it does is funnel people to Japanese media, which is a good thing. That means titles will not stop being published mid-story and mid-series.

Look at the bright side.

And for those of you that think it is cool to like something no one else does, and hates these movies for exposing your secret fandom to the masses, get over it.
