"Cautiously pessimistic" just about sums my feelings. We never know though, it could be good. inb4 they release a trailer and the actors aren't to *insert group here* 's liking and they complain about *insert here*-washing. The internet gets fixated on it until it airs, and then everyone forgets that they were arguing in the first place. Most of those who've complained never end up watching it. Then, contrary to popular belief, it doesn't ruin the original anime series, like initially predicted.

The vocalist of Morphine is an edge lord so I can imagine he'd like to do something like this. Also he is fatter than Mei and this guy looks as if Mei gained 10kg or so. But who knows, I hope it's Mei just like you but I don't want to end up disappointed. I know Mei's new band will come sooner or later. @Manji 卍 Edit: Just read the kuroyuri tanuki thread, some ppl there also thought it was Mei but it was debunked pretty quick as to being the vocalist of Morphine just trying to look like Mei.

would be epic, if we went back to that tribe of indigenous people who killed that american missionary and introduced them to KAWAII JROCKERS \m/ \m/

Karasuna Mei and 4 Fans (2018)

I can't believe y'all slandered mei like this

BABOO died so mama could live

I just started to listen to the album 'System of a Down' by System of a Down (shock!) and I must say it is, so far, one of the most energetic albums I've listened to in a while and I'm loving it!

Despite the optimism in posts above me about this announcement, I'm less than excited. Netflix may not do as bad of a job as previous studios have when adapting anime to live action films, but the debacle with Ciri in The Witcher adaptation proves to me that they're capable of losing the plot. It's like the media doesn't learn it's lesson. I don't even care that Netflix is behind the helm. Time and time again, whenever they adapt an anime to a live action film the movie loses a lot of what made the anime special. I'm not just referencing Hollywood because there are plenty of Japanese live-action adaptations that suck too. It's the power inherent in the medium along with the ability to more easily suspend my belief. I've already lost my horse in this race because Hollywood adapted and defiled Ghost in the Shell. Watanabe better splurge on a katana engraved with the words "no cuts" to make sure Netflix gets the message this time, although I'm under no delusions that someone at Netflix won't find some way to defile the story and get fans pants in a twist.

The most shocking thing here is the fact that there are people who use Bing translation. Wow.

Wow, I wish other bands from those days release more shows like this. L'arc, Luna Sea, Kuroyume, Zi:Kill! I'm sure the bands / management have plenty considering the bootlegs that exist but they're probably stranded forever in a sea of licensing issues

I freaking miss bis so much...

@Arkady Kyonosuke walked out during the show after pushing his drumset and making it fall. Other kizu members had no idea what was going on, tried to get him back but he was reluctant. They improvised a ballad and left the stage. They come back some time after 、play three songs and end their set. Kyonosuke motions for everyone to be quiet before saying thank you.

Hiring anyone who isn't ex-idol would probably reduce the pop influence.

I wonder if this is the same Ema from Annabyss Coast & Despite from Greed....but we'll wait & see. 👀 fuck, no that was a guitarist ;w;

Well yes, it turned out to be a preview but the tweet does not say anything about being a preview.

see that if it was a preview MV 😆

Oh neat, I was just getting around to listening to Morphine's collection album yesterday and reveling in how not good it was. Hmm. @ them changing to their 3rd name.

this is why hope is bad

^ "cautiously pessimistic" is a good way to put it. I don't doubt Netflix's ability to produce quality content - Altered Carbon (which was essentially a Ghost in the Shell wannabe) was fantastic and thoroughly enjoyable. However, I'm not convinced that Netflix can do justice to Cowboy Bebop. In fact, part of me wishes that the general consensus would concede to the idea that some things are just better animated, and not everything needs a live-action counterpart - but that's a debate for another time. I just think that Cowboy Bebop is far too peculiar (even by anime standards) to adequately recreate. I agree 100% The score she did for Bebop was no less than stellar, and her contribution to the overall aesthetic and drive of the series simply cannot be overstated! So yeah, my hopes for this are not high, but I'll keep an eye out for it.

THE END OF Morphine, THE START OF mama. 2017.07.31-2018.11.28 アリガトウゴザイマシタ (Arigatou Gozaimashita)

I legit got goosebumps listening to that. The blast beats, that fast-as-fuck double bass, and those nut-rattling low growls. My body is in full reaction mode to the heaviness.

I THINK THAT'S KARASUNA MEI,THE GREY HAIR,THE OUTFIT,THE PIERCINGS,NO SHOES (i kinda recognize his feet) also that trailer reminds me the kuroyuri aesthetics and the samples used in the memento mori gigs OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG DGAHDGSDHGSFDGSHGAS @karai · ebi @AimiGen7

I dunno how to feel about this yet, but I'll reserve my judgement. On the one hand, it's Netflix and a big name so hopefully they won't screw it up.............. on the other hand, Death Note was also Netflix sooo... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I hope it turns out well, however if it's garbage I hope it's as outright terrible as the live action Death Note. That movie was hilarious, best unintentional comedy of 2017 imo. If they have any aspirations of it being as cool/iconic as the anime they better pay close attention to the ost, hire Yoko Kanno to do the soundtrack!

But that's the great thing about Netflix, they're like a modern day Roger Corman and they work way, way different from most other studios. They're giving the creators and INSANE amount of creative freedom. If they like your idea, they'll give you a certain amount of money and just keep their hands off and let you do whatever the fuck you want. If you want your TV-series to be only 6 episodes, they'll let you keep it at 6 episodes without pushing for more no matter how popular the series is and how high the demand is for more. If you want your movie/TV series to be bizarre and weird as fuck, they'll let you do that even though they know it most likely won't get them the money back. If you want to make something so slow 98% of the world's population would die of boredom within the first 45 minutes of the movie, you're free to do so. There is no restrictions whatsoever. When you produce for a major company of a certain size your main goal will always be to not please the fans, but please the regular movie goes. Because it is them who will earn them the money back, not the actual fanbase. So when a big company produce a movie like Ghost in the Shell (or movies based on books like The Hobbit), the movies simply won't be aimed towards the fans of the original anime. With Netflix you will, if you want, be able to work towards pleasing the actual fans of the source material because they have the freedom to do so. They don't have to double or triple the income like the studios does. So making movies and TV-series for Netflix is like still being an indie filmmaker, just with a much, much bigger budget. And this is the reason why I don't mind Netflix doing it. tldr; Netflix will give you a massive amount of freedom to do as you please, something other, major studios will not do. It's such a huge difference between something like Netflix and HBO and regular studios. So if they can get a writer/director who is actually a fan of the series, I have no doubt they'll be able to bring the anime justice by making something great. So in my eyes, that's where it lies. Can they do so? I don't know, but I hope they will.

When do we start placing bets on how long it takes for Naru to drive everyone out of the band? At this rate the dude should just go solo and make what he wants and swap out support members.

Is this the end of naruto metal??

I wonder if this is Kid (ex-Jaldan)...it is [lineup] Vo.キッド (kid) (ex-ジャルダン (Jaldan)) Gt.夕火 (yuuka) Gt.ニコ (nico) Ba.蛇丸 (hebimaru) support Dr.潤 (Jun) (SLIVER. (support), Chiina Meyulu. (support), ARCHEMI. (support), ex-REVINE) The girly one is really cute tho :v

Yay, can't wait to listen to 10 seconds of each song before deleting the album from my computer.

I really hope you’re right, I don’t see it happening but I’ll pray every night
