An upcoming movie adaptation of classic space pirate manga Cobra, due in 2013 and titled “Cobra: The Space Pirate,” has the unusual distinction of actually being well received, largely thanks to the rather striking promotional image above.
The live action adaptation is to be directed by Alexandre Aja, known for such classics as Piranha 3D and Mirrors.
2ch is enthused by the promotional poster though not the director’s track record:
“So cool!”
“Excessively cool!”
“Can we look forward to this?”
“This is going to surpass the original!”
”Cobra is really cool.”
“I’ll even forgive it for diverging from the manga.”
“The content is pretty Hollywood-orientated, even they can’t mess it up I think.”
“If this ends up like Dragon Ball…”
“His gun really reminds me of a penis. I hope they don’t cast too serious an actor…”
“Of all the ones we’ve seen this looks as if it may be the best.”
“SF manga are perhaps best left to Hollywood – imagine Gantz done by Hollywood.”
“Never heard of this guy so I looked him up.

2006 The Hills Have Eyes
2007 P2

“It’s done for.”
“Not good!”
“Nothing but guro B-movies…”

we still have Akira, Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the shell yet to come...
may God helps us all...
Don't forget Evangelion. Robin Williams still wants to fuck that one.
If Robin Williams fucks Asuka-chan I will rip his heart out and break his goddamn fucking spine!!
There's mother fudgin piranhas on this mother fudgin spaceship!!!!
so you say,....
But I have it that he is gonna do exactly that. You'll jus have to wait and see for yourself. It seems they were having problems in development & casting. So be prepared to be very disappointed.
Robbin Williams will be Shinji and play through Evangelion like some Galge and Samuel L. Jackson will be Gendo(This might actually work)
No, it's actually- I’ve had it with these monkey fighting piranhas on this Monday to Friday spaceship!!!!
Honestly, knowing Eva fans, that seems par the course.
Robin Williams is Kaji, super spy and watermelon expert.
Robin Williams as Gendo.
I can't see it.
Robin Williams as EVA-01 8D
Fools. Robin Williams will be Rei.
And suddenly the first unseeable picture that came to mind was Robin Williams fapping over whoever is playing Asuka.......I really wish I had enough alcohol to format my brain.
What about Robin Williams as Shinji?
I can't unsee it.
maybe evangelion live action 3D will come out in 2015 A.D.? XD
Robin as Fuyutsuki. By the time it goes into production he'd be properly aged for it too.
Yeah, Three Icons of anime that will probably come out looking like the "The Flintstones" live action movie or "Speed Racer". God help us all indeed.
Don't worry I come prepared
*Readies Noose*
Speed Racer was fucking awesome.
I said it and I stand by it.
Dragon ball...street fighter...mortal kombat..king of fighters.all great movies :P (great in waste of time and money)
Has anyone seen tekken? That was actually pretty cool. It had a silly ending, but I couldn't have imagined it ending differently.
Can't wait for Fullmetal Alchemist live action movie! D:
all the movies that director had a part of... i thought they all sucked.
Oh no, and it especially sucks because the movie producers break into everyone's house and force them to watch the movies at gunpoint!
So was the NES game based on this?
Is that a psycho gun or a ...dildo?
I wonder what kind of "action" will be in this movie?
You look cute in your avy.

Thanks ^_^
Congrats, your comment has weirded me out enough that I, the great Icy-nee-san, must reply to it.

Ya Because there IS no other thing more MotherF***ing awesome that Konata in Gurren Lagann Mode
What's with the troll posts hoping to get a decent answer of someones Identity, wouldn't it be awkward if we all suddenly found out that this site was composed primarily of 50yr old and above X3
@Diemeow23 those were the good old days... now it's only kiddies around here.
Damn i forgot to log in - sorry Megi Anon 07:05 was me. :p
Hey Megidola, I think you have a stalker!
If you get it please don't be stupid. Gamble, lots. Then go into wall street. Becoming god can be accomplished later.
I'd better check if my phone's become a Future Diary...
just make sure not to connect to PSN

These are 25-30 year old grown men using little girl anime avatars, they are not them.
Now you know.
Well I know there are plenty of females on the internet, but they're mainly on social networking sites or other popular sites like youtube. I can sometimes usually tell the difference easily, I used to talk with them allot in the past.
I know quite a few good sites that host anime and manga that has a good male/female ratio but these are the kind sites that has users who on average don't really know about "lolicon" "tsundere" or "traps"...
although it seems now lately since otaku-style anime has become mainstream... the mainstream population is becoming more like the ones on here.... but i digress.
It's usually only the more seedier/nerdier/geekier/lonely, outcast sites that are a sausage fest.
whoa whoa yur wronk - some of us are 30-40 yrs old and a few are in excess of 40+
&
There is meh and at least 3 others that R almost senior citizens!
almost,... but not quite - so don't say yur lazy, when yur really crazy
Someone forgot about the Law of the Internet- Everyone on the internet is a big fat hairy dude until extensively proven otherwise; even then he might still be a big fat hairy dude.
O my mistake, I just picked two numbers and used them, so then I guess it would be lets say 27-62 year olds who are using little girl avatars on here with some plus and minus variations
I know one thing for sure, they are never women or should I say female! Don't be fooled!!
Knowing Cobra, it probably doubles as one.
Depends on the day of the week.
that is the reason ladies love him.
HAUhuau psycho dildo...great name for Porn Movie
At least there won't be any way to white wash the cast, since the cast are supposed to be white.
The haters got nuthin to hate - unless the producers fuck over the franchise. Which wouldn't be a first either.
^_^
Another live action anime?
I still have hope for them which is sad but who knows, maybe this will be time a good 1 is made...
But that is all just wishful thinking...
