But I agree with All Might. I mean live-action anime tend to stray a little too far from their source material and end up being forgotten or making it worse.

Man, as much as I would LOVE to see that....sigh, they would probably find a way to fuck it up. And no one should mess with a good thing especially frog butt.

I'm pretty skeptical. I don't feel like the story will condense very well into a two-hour movie, so they're going to have to take a heck of a lot of liberties. I guess we'll see.

I mean, they COULD condense the first season of the anime in a movie
Having it end up at USJ and stuff
Or they could choose to do a movie placed in the America of MHA
Or other stuff
I dunno

Hey guys I think I found someone perfectly suited for playing All-Might.

The first episode was a little on the fast-paced, intense side for me, but then there was a lot to establish, and that seems to be Haruhi's personality, so I guess it works. It's entertaining, anyway. I laughed a lot, and the characters have a lot of potential. The literature club girl is probably my favorite so far; she reminds me entirely too much of myself when I was in school. :lol:
I'm curious; did you watch the first broadcast-order episode or first chronological episode? I've not actually watched the 1st season in chronological order yet, and I'm curious how that affects the viewing experience overall.

You mentioned Hellsing; I've not seen either anime, but I heard the Ultimate OVAs are very good.
I actually can't name too many "shonen action" series that I've seen, and even fewer that I really liked. :lol: What in particular is it you're looking for - long story arcs, high-octane action?

I just saw Hyouka myself for the first time recently, and it's a great character drama. It's extremely low-key in presentation, though, even by Kyoto Animation standards, so sometimes it might throw off newcomers. I do wish a season 2 could happen, though.

...But, what about All Might's other form? Just the fact that he has two radically different body forms seems like evidence for a bad transition to live-action; this series depends on comic/cartoon aesthetic to work.


I was actually watching quite a few anime this summer, but real life caught up to me and I've fallen behind now. I must say, though: if I were to recommend ONE anime with all my heart from this year, it'd be Planet With, an original project from the writer of Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer and Spirit Circle. I've seen reviewers comparing it to Gurren Lagann, and I have to agree - the plot and pacing of the show is razor-sharp, and it does in 12 episodes what other shows might struggle to accomplish in 50. It also seems to encapsulate everything stereotypically "anime" (mechs, maid-girls, aliens, animal "mascots", epic battles and introspective philosophy, etc), but without any of the lewdness or gore of some titles. It's all-around excellent, and you should all watch it.

Either a different actor or CGI. Former is probably better choice due to costing less money.

Chris Evans Captain America....But were talking big budget money there but it can be done with CGI.

I agree a different actor similar to how they do it with shows showing the stars younger. They would still have to look similar, luckily All Might looks completely different from his heroe ego

Or they could find a lanky person, put add a little cgi to Rock's face and slap his head on said skinny person's body. ;)

I doubt it would look right, they could do it though just look a bit wonky. Like stated, it would take a big budget to make it look almost seamless something Anime live movies hardly have.

Hellsing Ultimate has one of the best dubs for any anime and I wholeheartedly recommend it. The original is unrelated and is there if you just want some extra Hellsing material, IMO. Ultimate is superior in pretty much every way.

I hate being a naysayer but this was my first thought, too. And I don't even watch MHA! (Not that I don't want to.)

Well, I just started part 2 of Soul Eater today and episode 14 was a blast! It had a great blend of a good slice-of-life episode and comedy gold! Seeing all the character get put through the wringer over a simple exam was hilarious, Black Star got humiliated in the best way possible, and Blair got to have some fun outside of being eye-candy. Plus, the second ED is just so cute!
And on that note, I'm happy to say that I've made up my mind: I'm gonna finish this show and I'm gonna like it!

No release date yet, but iirc the last three seasons premiered in Japan around spring time
