Comment on George Takei to Hollywood: “Quit Whitewashing Anime” by Eleriel:

the biggest problem I see is that when the “purified” (nice touch, that) movie inevitably flops, the financial backers don’t see it as a failure by the producers or director,

but rather as “proof” that you can’t turn anime and manga into a successful movie.

same thing thing that’s basically happening to game-into-movies… all/most of the movies based on games have sucked, and so now it’s accepted as gospel that games can not be turned into movies.

  this is true for america and europe as well though… Just look at the War-Z movie. “we wanted to distinguish the movie from the book, so we made the zombies fast.. and we wont be using any of the scenarios from the books either” THEN WHY CALL IT WAR-Z!? NOW IT’S JUST “GENERIC ZOMBIE MOVIE”!. *ahem* … so yeah. half-assed.
