My feelings on the subject of bathtub merman has evolved to genuine excitement. My only worry is that there's no actual animation in the previews, but I'm too stupid to care.

It seems like the Hollywood Ghost in the Shell movie has found its Major. An Aussie actress named Margot Robbie.

We've already seen the worst major thanks to Alive. So really, she can only improve on the role no matter how good or bad the rest of the movie might be.

Imagine how much more sad and lonely we would be if not for the hard work of lowtax. Here's $12.95 to his aid.
I could see it work with the right direction and acting. I can only see the Major as someone a bit stiff in the face at all times and robotic. Hoping it doesn't get Hollywooded.

CR is streaming the new TRIGGER anime, which I will watch mostly out of pity.

e: I just had a thought: How many animes have been Hollywood-ed into live action movies or shows? Edge of Tomorrow doesn't really count because that was a proper novel from what I understand, but I don't think I've every heard of another anime turned live-action (Yes, I know Kite is a thing, lets pretend that doesn't exist).

Edge of Tommorrow seems to be quite Light Novel-ish, although I don't know the strict publishing classifications. In an interview, the author said he was quite surprised when watching the live action movie because he had always imagined the characters as anime characters in his head. Yes, he wrote a book about anime characters.

If you've ever seen Japanese live-action sci-fi, maybe you won't be so surprised they imagine anime characters instead. But yeah, All You Need Is Kill is a light novel.

There've been some Hollywood movies based on manga, though, like Old Boy. If you count Chinese flicks, there's Initial D and Crying Freeman, etc.

Never mind then, I guess it does count. Didn't Tom Cruise licence another thing from him? I can't remember the details, and Google isn't being helpful
