White Masquerade
QuirkyAngel's Red Oni
...you can't be serious. I can understand if it was a live-action movie where you pay upfront before seeing whether it's bad or not, but if the T.V show is terrible, why spend money on the merchandise to support it? I'd think those people would be in the minority. I guess they are banking on the fact One Piece is so popular, but that hurts, not helps no? As much as I like Hunter x Hunter, if they made a crappy live-action, I wouldn't be buying anything. I'd be uber pissed. Would rather have nothing than something that disrespects the material for something I hold so high.One Piece is by far the most popular manga in Japan. Even if they give the show a shoestring budget they're gonna be able to pull a pretty sizable audience, and they're going to be able to sell a live action line of merch or something that collectors are gonna go and buy.
Their endgame is the destruction of anime.
Also, Zaregoto's OVA episodes are pretty good. The cinematography is excellent, as par for most SHAFT works.
What the...is this a spin-off of Kagerou Project? It looks so familiar.
