Anime should be generally left anime...for good reason.

Uh-oh! Looks like the Fashion Police Mecha-Officer is after Ami-chan!

Hehehe...

Well, that's err...yeah.

I always liked the opening to the live action American version. It was like a heavily retarded version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch crossed with Buffy and an acid high.

I'm reminded of Peter Gabriel...

when I want to Run away, I drive off in my car....

This makes me want to drive off....
A cliff.

Most Japanese live action does, I never figured that out, even if they use NTSC, their TV shouldn't look that bad. And you can't say they don't have the cash or tech.

IIRC, You're Under Arrest is the most expensive fictional Japanese TV show ever.

What's wrong with leaving anime as anime?

I'm considering downloading that off Xort, I was hoping it was the animé but that's on DVD here now.

Then modernize dramatically with a techno-punk, platinum-blue hairstyle and funky tiara.

And they'll DANCE . . . .

Yes, there will be much DANCING . . . .

Hahaha.. Sometimes it's better *not* to ask, though....

The are doing WHAT to sailor moon?

I like Sailor moon, it's funny. That just looks so....

Wait, there was a live action american version?

Was Serenya's hair at least the right color and her cat NOT a stuffed toy?

Ooooooookay...that was frightening.

That definitely goes on the Top Ten Things Never To Look At Again, probably at about #2 (#1 still being RayCav's fanfic).

I might actually download one off BitTorrent and see how the show is .. but it's somewhat, ah, well...

Actaully it was a idea Sabain had that they made into a little 2 minute promo to show the japanse rights holders and they said "no way in hell".

And yes those two things were right, but saturn was in a weel-chair and it was actaully part animation. He-man style animation.

It's simply the inherent quality and production quality of Japanese studios. They don't use the same kind of bugeting or equipment most companies in North American and the like chose to operate with. I'm not entirely sure why they bother, other than it simply being cheap (more might be considered a waste, I guess). They've said so themselves that while Anime is generally A-movie quality (though they do use very small bugets as well, but they're more effienctly run), their live-action film industry has always been pretty much a B-movie level field. I don't really know more about it other than that.

Ever notice how all the godzilla films look old, even the ones made after Godzilla 1984? Godzillla vs Destroyah was done in '95, and it sill has an early '80s feel and grade of quality to it. The live-action Zeiram film was also pretty cheap.

Crack smoke, perhaps. That's more chemically interesting.

There are quite a few Sailor Moon fans on the board.

I don't get it. What is there to make a male of any description want to watch a damn *cartoon* of Japanese girls running around in extremely stupid looking outfits acting like the vaccuous, pathetic girly-girls they all are, fighting evil queens or whatever the hell they do?!

Fuck man, I'd rather watch She-Ra. And I fucking hate She-Ra.
