please Hollywood it’s just getting
embarrassing at this point welcome to
watchmojo.com HD we will be counting
down our picks for the top 5 reasons
anime should never be adapted to
Hollywood I can repair you buddy but I
can’t protect you mine
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’ll
be looking at why big-budget Western
film adaptations of anime should stop
number 5 some aspects only work for
anime Saldana
emotionally scoochie Caleta and musical
even if you were to take a slice of life
series one without a single ounce of
bizarre weirdness to it it just it won’t
feel the same there’s a reason why it’s
an animate to begin with animation in
general adds us a real element to its
works with the world being so foreign to
our own that it adds a significant
amount of charm to it lush scenery
symbolism montages character
interactions anime can handle all this
with such a Grace and fluidity that’s
trying to replicate it in live-action
not only fails to measure up to the
original but by comparison can come
across as just kind of awkward and then
we enter the realm of the wilder series
like Dragon Ball one-piece and Jojo
though Takashi Miike did manage to make
a decent live-action adaptation albeit
one of the most quaint entries in the
series but level of quirkiness is so out
of the constraints of Hollywood that you
shouldn’t even expect anything similar
number four they’re doomed to fail this
trend has become painfully obvious in
recent years so much so that Hollywood
adaptations of video games might have a
better chance of making some green well
we’re gonna wake anime movies have a
history of bombing just look at
Dragonball Evolution and Speed Racer
the fact is there’s no audience for
Western anime adaptations fans of the
original will hate it for transforming
something they love and people who’ve
never heard of it will simply not give a
just look at ghost in the shell’ I
wasn’t call a skeptics but we don’t hold
out much hope for the battle angel Aleta
and Akira adaptations that’s mr. Chaddha
you punk
number three fails to represent the
story it doesn’t seem to matter if
studios tried to adapt one movie or a
whole series they never live up to the
original first of all the idea of
consolidating tens of episodes into a
single film is just kind of dumb and
even when they pick a movie or a shorter
series there’s still a plethora of trims
and personal liberties taken you’d never
tell someone to watch the Goron laggin
compilation movies rather than the 27
episode TV run and why would you because
despite literally using the same
animation cells for its majority it
removes these smaller moments in the
story that are vital to establishing the
characters and it ultimately screws with
the series is pacing how many times do I
have to tell you that dumbass so why
should you make an exception for a
Hollywood film which will be profoundly
different from the story bottom line is
that a movie doesn’t have the time
budget or technological means to match
the story or imagery of the source
material it’s just impossible
number two Japanese culture is ingrained
into it this is the part where we go a
little bit we’ve we’ve seen adaptations
of animation and comics done
successfully in the past just look at
the Marvel Cinematic Universe a god of
thunder and a giant green rage monster
sharing the silver screen is about as
far-fetched as seeing a villainous
vampiric stand user stopping time so why
does Hollywood keep getting it wrong
well for one thing the characters
locations and customs are all
traditionally Japanese no right
even the crazier series never really
tend to drift too far from their roots
this leaves Hollywood with a choice
Americanize everything until it barely
resembles the source material and of
course whitewash the cast it also sort
of means killer and Japanese so if
they’re gonna be looking for them is
gonna be on the wrong continent or keep
everything the same and completely
alienate your domestic audience anyone
who’s ever seen your name knows in their
heart that it hangs entirely on Japanese
culture and given Hollywood’s inability
to adhere to this we will be looking at
something entirely different
JJ what though is going on in your head
dude number one the story has already
been told and there is the truth of it
when we hear about these movies one
question immediately comes to our heads
what is the point
anime and manga stories are immortalized
by their original material sometimes the
original manga is better sometimes the
anime adds a little something extra but
never in human history have the words
the Hollywood movie is better been
uttered by a sane human being everyone
in there cat has watched Death Note so
what’s the point in adapting it I was
actually hoping you could shed some
light on that for me ghost in the shell’
is recognized as an anime classic so why
turn it into live-action these stories
have already been told in their purest
form already why would we watch a pale
imitation instead only if you take the
framework of something and never claim
it to be a remake as was the case with
edge of tomorrow or whatever they’re
calling it these days do you find
something worth watching
there is zero incentive to watching a
Hollywood adaptation unless of course
you just want to see how much they screw
it up do you agree with our picks check
