So, now that Hollywood has started doing live action anime/manga adaptations, how long until someone tries to make a movie out of pic related?
>>
>trash children love
Game of Thrones

>how long until someone tries to make a movie out of pic related
never, because any attempt at making a movie from it would necessarilly strip away the serious amount of backstory and weight behind every point of action it has in the plot.
why does this character act like that? "It's in the backstory"

tell me one fucking movie that gives image-related level of backstory.

If you say "lord of the rings" but without the immediate follow up saying "silmarillion" you're a fucking dumbass
>>
>>69891744
A movie wouldn't do LOGH any justice though, it's like 120 episodes long
>>
>>69891744
>50+ hours of politics
>hundreds of characters
I'm not sure how you could make that into a cohesive movie.
>>
>>69892168
>it's like 120 episodes long
it also deals with content that isn't fit for the "this is a 2 hour self-contained story" format that movies currently are, least of all with the kind of operators at the helm of the studios.

i'd post the gif of the LoGH space ship warfare; with the guy shovelling his guts back into this torso, and the blind guy knocking the other guy into an exposed damaged power conduit... but this is a sfw board
>>
>>69892087
Is this a Trump campaign ad?
>>
>>69891744
Never.

Last thing I want is for HBO to get their hands on it and fill episodes with gratuitous sex.
>>
>>69891744
Who the fuck would you cast as Reinhard?

The whole idea of a brilliant young prodigy works well in print or in animation, but in the real world you aren't going to find many actors in their early 20s who could deliver a believable performance as a military genius and galactic emperor.
>>
>>69892664
Casting a young attractive white male would not sit well with today's audience.
>>
>>69892463
>story centers on a bold golden-haired conqueror who sweeps away the corrupt political establishment to make his country great again
Yes.
>>
>>69892932
>Victimizing 101
>>
>>69892664
The execs would insist on genderswapping the character, and JLaw would get the role.
>>
>>69893059
you could keep Reinhard as is but give him more of a gay bend than usual. Kinda how they made Renly & Loras into fucking pride parade faggots.
>>
>>69891744
Not going to happen.

It's too long for a movie, or even a trilogy of movies, but the battle scenes call for a budget way above what HBO could throw at it.
>>
>>69891744
I don't think cinema can contain it's scope

this isn't even a serious thought. no one except people on 4chan know what this is.

I wouldn't say it's any more obscure than Battle Angel Alita, and that's getting a movie with James Cameron.
>>
>>69894535
i had no idea about this, but if i give it thought it may be that it's a passion project of James Cameron and/or that there may be more of an established fanbase for a big time japanese manga. interesting though.
>>
>>69894535
Cameron won't be directing it. He changed his mind. Got them Avatar sequels to complete. Robert Rodriguez is currently attached to the project as director.

time to start spamming this same thread about random cartoons and books to prove a point.

>he thinks children love Galactic Heroes
LoGH is like Star Trek Space Opera x10. Most kids have never heard of it or don't have enough ADD medication to watch all 100 episodes plus movies.
>>
Isn't this a story about a German space empire?

I'm not sure if you guys keep up with the international politics, or know anything of that modern German people's disposition -- but, to put it simply, they're self-hating, white guilt cucks who seem to hate everything german, to the point that their leader visibly scowls in disgust when handed a german flag on video.

I wouldn't be surprised if the any attempt at putting Germany in a good light is sabotaged. Anything that doesn't paint them as nazis is forbidden these days.

Live-action 'Bobby's In Deep' directed by Nicholas Winding-Refn when?
>>
>>69894675
It definitely WAS a passion project for James Cameron. He even said Avatar and it's CG were basically a test to see if they could make the cyborgs work in Battle Angel. Now he's been so bogged down for the near future by that he had to give it to the director of fucking SPY KIDS. He's still producing it so it might still look pretty but thats about it.
>>
>>69899838
Rodriguez has done a bit more than Spy Kids.

Go shill somewhere else.

>>69901280
yes if you like Space Opera. It's better than Star Trek in my opinion. It also has little to no annoying anime tropes. It is ~100 episodes plus movies though so it is a big commitment.

>like anime and have time to kill?
yes. As far as space-opera/politics type stuff goes it's pretty great. The characters are consistent and have longass arcs across the whole show, presentation is generally solid with pleasing visuals and nice use of music and the way that the story unfolds episode to episode is very dramatic and engrossing.

Not perfect though, lots of the supporting cast members are cardboard cutouts for the main cast to bounce off of, some of the sub-plots can feel poorly handled, even some with large influences on the greater story, the violence may or may not feel excessive at times, battle tactics reach 'Sharpe' levels of plot-armour and some parts of the show, such as the battles and maybe a couple of other things, can start to feel a bit formulaic after a while.

Best thing I can say about the show is that it generally always feels like it's moving forwards and doesn't waver wildly in quality like so many other long-running shows. It actually runs pretty consistently and ties it all together without dropping the ball so you shouldn't leave feeling disappointed.

>viewing order
My Conquest is the Sea of Stars (movie)
Overture to a New War (movie remake of the first couple of episodes of the show)
Legend of the Galactic Heroes (show)

>bonus stuff
A Hundred Thousand Stars, A Hundred Thousand Lights
Spiral Labyrinth (both shorter prequel series which can be watched after the main thing if you're hurting for more)

>>69901685
Those space-battle death tolls are frightening to think about.
>>
>>69891744
keep this shit to your ss13 thread.
>>
>>69893059
Before it was a anime, it was a series of novels and has had a few adaptations. One of them was a manga that did swap the genders of a few characters.
>>
>>69891744
Dane Dehaan wants to produce one if that really was him on /tv/ that one time before ASM2 came out, but I seriously doubt that'll happen even then.

Considering LoGH is only known around here and has no official release in America it ain't gonna happen.
>>
>>69891744
>making a movie about the victory of an all German galactic empire with a blonde haired, blue eyed, handsome, righteous genius and literal hero of humanity as it's Kaizer
>in 2016
Yeah good luck with that, whilst LoGH is critical of both autocracy and democracy, a live action hollywood adaptation would completely ruin all of the balance between it to portray the empire as fundamentally evil whilst the alliance are fundamentally good, just misguided
Also
>all the allusions to Phezzan being the cause of everyone's conflicts
I can just imagine this one would go over well with a certain g-d's chosen people
>>
>>69901633
>My Conquest is the Sea of Stars
Introduces two of the main protagonists and a few other characters. Gives you a taste of what to expect

>Overture to a New War
Remake of the first two episodes, with more backstory to the battle in the second half

>OVA
From there you can watch the whole series from episode 3 to 110. Episode 1 to 2 jump into the battle of Overture with very little exposition

>Gaiden
Prequel (compilation of short stories). Difficult to appreciate it to its fullest without having watched the main series. There's a chronological list on the wikipedia, but finishing it with The Third Battle of Tiamat feels like a better end to the Gaiden than watching Dishonor.

>Golden Wings
What I imagined a modern remake would look like. A prequel movie set during the Gaidens but is regarded as the worst travesty of LOGH

The Legend of the Galactic Heroes is about a century old star war.
