Reply #16: live action anime [View All]

[dancing kali]

A friend sent me this link: http://www.casshern.com/ It's for a live action version of an old anime series (from the 70's I think). The trailer looks cool. It's all in Japanese of course. Hope it makes it to the North American market. When I first checked out the link, I followed another link which led me to discover that there is of all things a live action Sailor Moon series currently running in Japan. It is possible to get downloads of the episodes. Careful of the search string you use - that combination of words gets you to some very distasteful sites if you aren't paying attention.

About the Speed Racer - Anime in the hands of Hollywood? After what they did to poor old Godzilla - I wouldn't hold out much hope.

I can't answer the original question as I am currently into "shojo" anime. As for the question of "generation" - I'm 1 (Astroboy).
