Exactly. Instead of making a movie that will OBVIOUSLY bomb, just give those millions of dollars to GAINAX and let them do the job.

All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.” — Nazi Reich Marshal Hermann Goering

Wasn't the Lone Wolf and Cub series start off as anime/comics before it materialized as movies? The original Japanese soundtracks with English subs are the way to go. A real treat, though not for the squeamish.

Well I just hope they release a super ultra DVD box set celebrating 10 years of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Wow it has been 10 YEARS already...

What little I have seen of GAINAX productions I have loved.

I wouldn't mind seeing movies done on "Dominion: Tank Police" and "Bubblegum Crisis: Tokyo 2040", but they probably wouldn't turn out very well.
I'd like a qui-gon jinn please with an Obi-Wan to go.

Red heads ROCK. Blondes do not rock. Nuff said.

I just kind of wonder what the thought process is regarding U.S. adaptations of anime is; they’re at best niche properties in the U.S. In Japan, I can see actual commercial gain, but I just can’t imagine the appeal being very big with mainstream U.S. audiences.
