I am wondering what your guys top English voice over anime is? In terms of quality. I watch everything with subs, once in a while it would be nice to not have to read lol Though most tend to be crap.

Suggestions?

[shakey]

So, Who likes Death Note the anime....? Well, if you do, please, go check out the Live Action version of the movie. You will be pleasantly surprised with how well it follows everything clip.

I ordered this on netflix last week, but just put the bluray in this saturday... why did I wait!?

My first expectations were of just ," This is going to such, how could they wrap up the anime into a 2 hour movie...... this is going to be horrible, but hopefully I will laugh." But upon the first sequence, I saw that this was going to be great.

First, If you want to watch it dubbed, it is not bad. They use all the same voice overs as the anime, so you will recognize them quickly. But the acting is fantastic, along with just the pic for pic translation. I was literally going, WOW, it looks just like the anime, but real!

Also, they do not wrap this up in 2 hours, but instead, follow basically the anime, pic for pic, minute for minute, word for word. So this should be a many part movie if it gets the budget. The Death God is in there, eating his apples, but he is CG, and well done though for what it is.

If there was any hesitation to seeing this movie, don't wait any more. If you liked the anime, this is just going to be great.

I never watched any anime voiced over except for Full Metal Alchemist and Death Note.... Death Note probably being the best one, as I much more prefer FMA in its original language.

Woah, wait a minute! There's dubbed versions of the movies?! :woot:

[rustix]

I'm gonna miss my weekly dosage of Beelzebub. Sure hope its not cancelled :huh:

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^It's not cancelled, it's just postponed due to the earthquake most anime currently.

[shakey]

Woah, wait a minute! There's dubbed versions of the movies?! :woot:

On the bluray I got from netflix, it was just the 1st Death Note LA installment... I started the first hour of the movie subbed, but switched mid movie to see how the dubbed was... and was pleasantly surprised to hear the right Kira and L voices from the anime, along with the police chief and all.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6383

Apparently they may have already finished the first season of the anime in LA form.... but I have yet to find the 2 sequels to the first anywhere to rent.... Guess it's time to use the good ole internet. But if the last 2 are as good as the first, this is a great adaptation..... maybe the best, of anime to live action. There were some re-write areas, and for some the movie may not be up to Anime quality. But for a Live Action adaptation, this is very good in my opinion. I love foreign films, and this one was a good one. It is a little slow paced, but still good.

A friend who had never seen the anime walked in mid way through the movie, and with in 10 minutes, he was hooked. Now hes watching the anime.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^Make sure you watch "L: Change The World" as well. It has nothing to do with Death Note though it's a good movie IMO.

Bad news, everybody...

Robert Pattinson eyes lead in Akira remake

Fans of Akira, the cult Japanese animation about a teenage boy with terrible destructive powers, may want to look away now. No sooner has the reported threat of Zac Efron taking the main role in the forthcoming Hollywood live action remake been allayed, than a fresh emo threat raises its hunky head: Robert Pattinson.

Deadline reports that the Twilight star is being approached by studio execs to take the main role of Tetsuo, who in the 1988 film begins to exhibit sinister abilities. As well as Pattinson, The Social Network's Andrew Garfield and James McAvoy have also been sent scripts. Efron, who was last year named as a frontrunner for the role, now seems to be out of the picture.

In line to play the other main lead role of Kaneda, a biker and gang leader, are Garrett Hedlund, Michael Fassbender, Chris Pine, Justin Timberlake and Joaquin Phoenix. The Hollywood remake will take the original six-book graphic novel as its source, playing the action out over two films and relocating it to "New Manhattan" rather than the original's New Tokyo, a city built on an artificial island in Tokyo bay following the destruction of the original Japanese capital in an explosion 30 years previously. Akira is the name of a young boy whose powers led to the disaster, one which Kaneda slowly comes to believe his childhood friend Tetsuo may be about to repeat.

The latest casting rumours have emerged following a rewrite of the project's screenplay by Steve Kloves which Deadline reports has executives at Warner Bros and director Albert Hughes (From Hell) excited.

Akira was originally a 2,182-page manga epic which was adapted by its writer Katsuhiro Otomo into a two-hour film (Otomo also directed). Despite its complex, densely packed storyline, it has gained huge popularity over time since its release and helped to fuel the growth of anime's popularity outside of Japan.

What a bunch of hypocrisy. So since they failed to produce quality anime in a timely manner to us across the sea, they fight against those who do... then they use their subs....

Funimation has been like this for years, but being the only major anime content provider here in east of japan they can get away with it.

The first bit of news about an possible live-action movie was fail to begin with. It's been going down and down ever since. This whole thing has one huge sign of fail written all over it from the start.

[rustix]

I was wondering whether anyone knew for certain whether any series has been cancelled? I did read the post on ANN which listed certain which may be delayed or cancelled....

Things are still unsure in japan, people are mostly working on getting there life back to normal. So I understand if working on new anime may come in last in there to-do list. But just after the quake ANN posted about delay and cancellations of some shows, but you can't rely on the list too much.

[rustix]

Yeah I saw that list. It was updated to part 4 a little while back. I completely understand the delay (my country being one of the victims on the tsunami back in 2004) and how long it takes for things to settle down. I was just curious as to which would be cancelled :)

That said I am curious how come MS Gundam UC 3 has come via fansub groups where as the disc release date was delayed to April 7th before the tsunami :unsure:

[Jamushroom Veteran]

^Might have been a disc for reviewers that they made a raw off as I haven't come across and 1080p rip. I'll be waiting for that until I actually watch it.
