I would find it very interesting to see all manga be adapted into some type of moving picture form. Should there be considerations as to what form? Yes. For example 20th Century Boys by Naoki Urasawa. I love this manga series it is phenominal and probably one of, if not the, best series I have read (keeping in mind only vol 7 has been released in the US so far). I have seen the first live action movie that they made on it and boy was it not very good. The story was there but the execution and pacing (one of the best elements) was totally misfired! IF it was made into an anime series they could have done something really great (like Urasawa's other masterpiece Monster).<br />Yes adapt the manga, but make the right decision.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148107212094875712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407904572209592540.post-4957218397440480972010-03-30T13:18:29.601-06:002010-03-30T13:18:29.601-06:00Dear Mr. Kirby,

They lost a lot of the Astro Boy touch that Tezuka always had by downplaying themes that were always prevalent. The movie was definitely made for kids and I think they succeed at that. Astro Boy has always been for kids but with a little more thought behind it. <br />They didn't ruin it, they just modified it for today's kids but it was still fun and true to the spirit of Astro Boy. They didn't make it better (for the same reasons as above) but there were a lot of little "easter eggs" in the film that made it really neat for a Tezuka fan such as myself.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148107212094875712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7407904572209592540.post-41635649205508777892010-03-24T13:08:50.859-06:002010-03-24T13:08:50.859-06:00What do you think of the movie they made of it, Ch...What do you think of the movie they made of it, Chris?
