Time for Hollywood to dip into the anime/manga well?

Death Note could actually be done well, if they only adapted the concept and general plot, but then let the writers re-invision it. When Hollywood tries to seriously adapt the Japanese stuff, you get abominations like Dragonball.

Actually i think it would work perfectly if they retooled Ryuk (and all the Shinigami, both in terms of looks and removing their comedic quirks), and toned down Misa, but kept all the mindfucks and such. L can remain just as he was, too.

I'd like to see live action Bleach and Naruto, just so i could laugh at how terribad they would be, but anyone who touches One Piece is going to lose an arm

Stop hating on Naruto!!! 

ehm.. anyways would Slam Dunk work? i dont know though bball is better if you can actually use american players. and GTO! that i'd like to see

I watch Naruto and Bleach still (though i'm way behind the present of either the anime or the manga in both, Itachi's still alive for now in my Naruto run, and they just finished fighting over the pillars in Karakura Town in Bleach). But i would be amused to see how Hollywood would mangle them like they mangled Dragonball. One Piece i hold more sacred than that, and quite honestly would be extremely hard to do anything live action with that didn't look horribly goofy without retooling fundamental things (the Gum Gum Fruit would look downright odd done live, no matter how you slice it)

I get the whole one piece sacred thing, and it was hard transgressing from a narutard to Odaism. However i still love naruto and i hate when people attack it hence my defensive mechanism! :P

 

You're right i would hate to see live action, and i'd actually prefer it as a manga/anime no matter how u put it
