I'm sure that I asked this before but, with all the criticism I've been
reading lately for the GIJo(k)e movie and cartoons/anime in general, I
thought I'd ask again. ^_^

Basically, what would you like to see from the film/animation studios?
(aside from competent writing and animation)

More animated genie shows?
More giant robots?
Better (female) character designs?
More fan-service, even? ^_^!

Speaking of realistic romance, I just watched the first DVD of
Genshiken 2 today (and I already finished the translated manga).

Genshiken 2? Rented ( Netflix? ), or R2 DVD, or R1? I thought the R1
release was the 25th, so me eager to know, please please.

RI purchased. Sometimes these things come out early.

Plus, on the flip-side, NO more animated franchises turned into
live-action
movies / shows, with or without CGI. They are rarely any good and most
often
come off as silly parodies (if at all really recognisable).

Then again, there are probably some things that have been animated that
in fact would have work better in live action (although this is usually
when you're talking about a cartoon that is itself an adaptation, and
they should have gone from book/manga to live action instead of to
anime).

Almost certainly ... although I can't think of any off the top of my head.

Sanctuary worked better live action then animated... heck, it worked

I could get into the specifics of what *I'd* like to see in the next
(batch of) films and series but let's see what you have to say first.

(One thing I will suggest, though, is that crossovers akin to/bigger than
Kingdom Hearts are one idea to consider)

What's more, if there is a show that fills another poster's request(s),
please post the name of the series/OAV. Even if certain Wholly Odd
filmmakers don't get the message, perhaps the 'underdogs' of the retail
shelf will get a second chance.

Thank you for your responses.

Warewolf

Those are the exact things I'd like to see more of. I like my fan
service ("NIL FECES, DAVE?"), but there'll never be a shortage of
that.

I have to agree with Dave, here. If a story isn't told well, it's crap,
no matter how many shiny-of-the-month elements it hs in it.
