Tokyopop plans live action remake of Ikkitousen

So now we can add this title to the group of ADV's Neon Genesis Evangelion movie and Fox's Dragon Ball Z movie. Are licensing companies getting crazier, or do you think these titles will succeed? |
I REALLY hope this shit isn't for real.
Sometimes I wonder about Tokyopop, they can make some real shit decisions. I dunno, man. I'm watching the anime for the first time right now(a friend let me borrow it), and I gotta say there is no way in hell this will end up working right. First of all, if they made it as perverted, they couldn't put it on TV at all. It'd have to go straight to DVD, would be damn near like soft core porn. It would almost have to be put in the 18+ section and no one would buy it. If they did put it on TV, it would be so watered down it wouldn't even be funny. This could turn out as bad or worse than the DOA movie. Oh hell... |
It sounds so terrible that I'd have to watch it for the cringe factor alone. Bring it on Tokyopop. Give me your shittiest! =D

Wait the DBZ movie is being done by Fox?

BUT Movies are a big deal. They get marketed and advertised heavily. And since it's Tokyopop and this particular title, you just know there's going to be a line like "BASED ON THE HIT MANGA SERIES BATTLE VIXENS" or something. There are going to be people out there who will see this movie or read reviews about it and think "Oh, so this is what Japanese cartoons is about. BACK TO GARFIELD" It worries me a little bit. But hey I suppose thinking that manga is all about crappy plots and fighting and dialogue is better than thinking all anime is tentacle rape. |
Wow. I'm just glad Tenjou Tenge isn't getting a similar treatment (lol CMX), even though I think it's a superior manga. Both aren't great pieces of work, but I don't think either would be popular enough to try and adapt into a film, especially an American film.
On the bright side, maybe this'll flop so bad that Tokyopop and other publishers/executives won't bother to try another anime adapatation again. |
Whilst Bashing Tokyopop is on the menu: Where the fuck is FMP Novel 1? I can't find it for shit.
