He better not be playing light, I hate him.

Has there been any update on the American Death Note Live Action movie. Is it true that Zac Efron is playing Light? And scheduled release date anyone, google cant find it for me :s

The latest update (from January) was that Shane Black will be directing it. He has actually only directed one film before, but that was Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which is generally considered a very good film. He wrote the script for Lethal Weapon and Lethal Weapon 2 (along with his own film Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) and did the screenplay for The Last Action Hero. He seems to have some serious talent so heres hoping for the best. I have faith that he can produce a good script at least, anyway. Altough there have been rumours that he is going to be directing Iron Man 3. If those rumours are true I wouldn't be surprised if he dropped out of Death Note in order to work on Iron Man.

As for Zac Efron, he said the producers had approached him and they discussed Death Note briefly, but that is all. That was also a few years ago now, so I doubt it is likely he will play Light, but then again I doubt it's likely the film will ever get made.

and i hear rumours about bebop, akira, bleach. I'll never get my hopes up for a live action that way i wont be disapointed. As long as there not Dragonball bad. And aslogn as theres not a One Piece one.

And yes MVM boxsets are a bit tacky my fave way would be if Manga used a nice thick box like Funimations dragon boxes but used slim cases. Look alot nicer i think. Perfect example would be the Battle royale blu ray the special edition version.

They do use slim cases for the Death Note boxset.

Anyway, finished Samurai Champloo for the second time about 15 minutes ago. It left such a huge smile on my face, that series is so close to perfection. I think I'll up the score I gave it on MyAnimeList from a 9 to a 10. Seriously one of the best anime series I have ever watched.

It is amazing isnt it?

Speaking of amazing anime, HAVE YOU EVEN WATCHED FMA YET?

[Neversoft]

Champloo is like the first anime I have managed to get through in like four months, kinda been out of the scene for a while so I don't want to go watching 50+ episode series so soon, but I will get around to both FMA series' eventually, don't you worry.

But going back to Champloo... there were six years between the release of Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo and it has now been six years since Champloo ended (six years two days ago to be precise). Where is your new series, Shinichiro Watanabe?

The day Watanabe announces a new series will be a very fine day indeed.

EXACTLY TWO WEEKS UNTIL GINTAMA STARTS AGAIN OMG
PLUS THE SECOND SERIES OF KAIJI AHHHHH
FINALLY SOME DECENT NEW ANIME TO WATCH

[Niall!]

Don't watch the original FMA, it's great but Brotherhood is far superior to the original.

Are we sure Gintama will be airing after the whole tsunami thing?

Also, WILL CRUNCHYROLL BE SUBBING IT? I don't want to wait for rumbel.

Yea i would skip the first series, Far better. And i was told Gintama is was just resuming and carrying on not a new series so would assume CR would get it.

Then i shall be buying that on Payday 1.

And speaking of Gintama, Fumihiko Tachiki does Sonic's Wisp voice in colors.

Yeah, I was going to watch Brotherhood first anyway but I have the first series downloaded so might as well watch that as well.

Most anime should be back on schedule by April, so I assume Gintama will air as planned but I can't say for sure.

I don't think there has been any news on whether crunchyroll will get the series, but I really hope they do. I highly doubt Rumbel will even bother, it takes them months to release just one episode and they still haven't subbed the movie even though it has been out for like half a year and a huge majority of it has already been subbed in the series.

Plus other groups seem to stay far away from Gintama so crunchyroll is pretty much our only hope.

And i was told Gintama is was just resuming and carrying on not a new series so would assume CR would get it.

That's wrong. Gintama isn't simply 'resuming' - it is a new series. The title has been changed and there is a large possibility that from now on every new season of Gintama will be 26 episodes long. It's pretty much the same thing Madhouse did with Hajime no Ippo: New Challenger.

[Neversoft]

Oh my God! Some unknown group has subbed the Gintama movie (it's already been proven legit). Download links can be found *REMOVED* but unfortunately they're all in parts. Hopefully someone will torrent it soon.

I think it may be 1080p, in which case my computer will probably have a fit trying it play it. I hope someone release a 720p version. Ooh, nope. I can confirm it is in fact 720p.
