let's say hypothetically american superhero stuff starts to wane in popularity...do you think hollywood would start adapting anime for the big screen? or would that cause too much of a ruckus if they don't cast asian actors with the roles?

Yeah
Yes, I've been saying it for three years now. The comic book wave will eventually die out whether some of these cry baby fanboys want to believe it or not.

Hollywood will then start using anime as a vessel.

Depending on Warcraft and Assassin's Creed, video game adaptations could be that next wave.

I thought about this but I'm a bit on the fence with it. You would need a strong franchise to get it going :patrice:

Surprised they haven't done metal gear yet.

I started watching this anime called Erased and I couldn't help but think :dwillhuh: when are these dudes gonna be doing tv shows (or movies) over here? shyt's are :mindblown:.

In general, I'd only support it if it makes some kinda sense and you know no whitewashing so basically I'm already preparing myself to be mad.

I'm not even on the fence, I'm totally skeptical....but if they are successes, they'll start a trend.

shyt, the studio is already planning and working on an AC sequel and there isn't even a damn trailer out

I don't see to happening. Superhero movies sell because kids love it, parents can go with children . Grown men love action, an most importantly women go because it's popular, it's a date movie, and it's actually cool to admit you like that despite knowing shyt about comics. Anime isn't even near that level of social acceptance.

Im skeptical on both. I know i should give jones the benefit of the doubt but it looks lame.

I think they could slowly attempt to do so because I think they are missing out on a market a lot of people are already checking out and are a bit oblivious of the crossover appeal.
