And You Thought Hollywood Was Bad…

Kiddy anime Nintama Rantarō’s live action adaptation is attracting attention for the rather disturbing nature of its characters.
Although made in Japan, the adaptation is actually produced by none other than Warner Brothers Japan, and so may actually qualify as another Hollywood anime rape of sorts.
The main characters are ninja children – as no western release is likely, American audiences will at least be spared the otherwise inevitable shuriken-to-walkie-talkie transformation…

No. Warner Brothers is not producing, they are distributing. Warner Brothers also distributed Goemon. Is that considered a Hollywood movie?
Justin Timberlake is under Sony Music. Is he j-pop?
Wasn't there a hollywood movie about ninja kids back in the 1990s? I can't remember if it was WB or Fox who made it.
3 ninja kids (or something like that) by WB. It was awesome movie with a trilogy (i think) because it wasn't in the days of when everything was censored for every slight detail and it was basic beat the bad guys and get the cute girl.
This too:
Surf Ninjas

haha!
It's enough to see Leslie Nielsen jerk off in a kid's film.
Also home to one of the worst fourth wall jokes ever.
I LOVE THOSE MOVIES! ROCKY COLT AND TUM TUM XD
Rocky loves Emily !
Justin Timberlake is not under Sony Music Japan now is he?
He is under Sony Corporation of America's Jive
Sony is a japanese company, in the same way that warner is a american company. but both haves subsidiaries.
if something is under the warner label, that dont make it a american product, in the same way that something by Sony dont make it a japanese product by default.
Congratulations, Mr point out the (not so logical) obvious =)
Props for Trying to be as "CLOSE" as the original. :D
you can say the same for that one ep of Family guy with Peter's chin. Look at it and you can snap it right off. lol a pair of balls
OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?
is it just me or does the one kid look like a oompaloompa?
Ok It may be made in /japan still WHAT!
It looks awesome.
"What do you mean there's a pair of testicles on my chin?"
Don't anyone at Hollywood have better things to do?!
Now that is shitty even in comparison to untooning.
at least they used children for the main characters and kept it from becoming like the terrifying fujoshi-targeted musical version. I have no idea why there are so many fujoshi attracted to this series.
HEMU HEMU HEMU I LOVE THIS SHOW HEMU HEMU HEMU
3 Ninja and where is Hulk Hogan?
That has to be the worst Klingon mask I ever seen.
NIIIIIIIIIIINJA BOIIIIIIIII!!!!!I love these show bck in the days~_~
No wonder we are all into 2D.
...they are raping my childhood
damn its remind me 3d = ugly , 2d = winner
I thought the blue guy was a Klingon. Had me thinking Japan was doing Star Trek.
My kingdom for subs of the anime. ;_; I saw Rantaro as Ninja Boy Rantaro dubbed in Spanish long time ago (we're talking about 2001 or 2002, I think?) and, oh my God, I loved it very much! I remember the very adorkable Kirimaru being one of my favorite characters.
"Created by Warner Brothers Japan is may qualify as anime rape of sorts"
Now your trying to hard.
What are you doing there Worf? you don't even belong in Japan.
HAHAHAHAHA Happosai (?) made me laugh so hard! xD
(Happosai is the guy from the left, BTW.)
I remember there was a ROM of this for SNES. I couldn't understand a word of it. It wasn't that good anyway.
Ninja VS. Aliens
another hollwood rape material. god damn it
You forgot changing "Ninja" to "Hero" like they did with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Well, if it hits Europe, that is.
Christ on a crutch. You know what kind of makeup would have been appropriate? Something more along the lines of Benicio Del Toro in Sin City. That's a little over the top. I mean it's BEYOND the deformation in the anime.
Also, Shinbee is too tall.
Rantaro is too short and WTF is up with those glasses?
What?
I think this one's pretty good.
Wasn't "Summer Wars" also distributed by Warner Bros. in Japan?
It's as if they couldn't grasp the simple concept of a characters design being a caricature of the elderly.
How do you go from "oh this old guy has a comically large head to accentuate his baldness" to "I'm thinking klingon meets that alien from Megamind"
Manly Ass Chin is still an Ass Chin
hes a ballchinian.
He looks like a Klingon!
Qa tlho'
He looks way more dangerous.
This isn't Nintama Rantaro...
This is more like... Basilisk Kouga No Ninpou Chou..
To be directed by Takashi Miike.
What the..?!
What is this I don't even
Fucking EPIC CHIN!
holy shit.....im not sure what else to say about this lol.
IT'S MEGAMIND!
And here I thought it was a defective klingon hybrid with a swolen brain.
