/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Is this still stuck in development hell? I'd really like to see Keanu Reeves as Spike, even if the film is a horrible failure.

Is this really happening?

Nice job for a deviantautist

He said on leddit that the budget was way too high for the movie

Also I agree it would be interesting to see him as Spike. He's been typecast far too long into monotone-speaking emotionless straight man characters when he really is an outrageously good method actor

Does Keanu actually like anime?

I know he was in a rock band before he became a Hollywood actor. I wonder if he bummed around playing with his guitar and watching 90s cartoons.

Don't worry guys, we can crowdfund the movie.

If every person who would donate $5 or more tells 16 (and a half, lol!) people about it, then there's a 91% chance we'll hit the $500,000,000 budget!

(P.S. Upvotes for math? :D)

Wow you actually went to reddit for this

disgusting get away from here

I can tell you assuredly that anyone in the top positions of the movie business has watched all of the massively successful shows and movies like Cowboy Bebop, GitS, the various Miyazaki movies, Evangelion and FLCL, and also that nobody in the top positions of the movie business has time to 'like' things.

>>11550728
Yeah man Keanu is a great Shakespearean actor. Just check out the accolades he received for this film.

>>11550737
>Robin Williams

Well he is a big Evanjellyon fan, so I'll take his word for it.

>>11550741

Not really fair to shit on somebody for fucking up an accent when they're given zero training notice.

>>11550744

It really is pronounced like that in English

I wish Americans would stop trying so hard to pronounce things in their native pronunciations.

>>11550745
Tell that to this guy.

>>11550747
Evangelion isn't even a word.

>>11550759

What does this have to do with anythign

>>11550759
It's just evangelism with the "sm" replaced with "on."

I don't know, I like the evangelion version to the evanjellyon

>>11550762

You sound gay as fuck LOL

>>11550766
You fukn REKT that nerd LOL

>>11550762
And you still did it wrong, idiot.

>>11550760
Better question would be what does have to do with /jp/

>>11550769
We're weaponized /a/ now dude.

>>11550770
moot is an ignorant fuck who doesn't know shit about his site.

>>11550769
Eva is a revolutionary otaku anime[1], and we're discussing a film adaptation not a faggot cartoon that belongs on /a/.

Stop trying so hard.

>>11550770
Sometimes I wish we could be /a/ but not shitty.

I'd settle for just not shitty, though.

>>11550772
Y-You're breaking global rule 8! I-If you keep this up I'll be forced to report you!

>>11550774
So it's /jp/ now because it's a film adaptation?

Okay.

>>11550775
>I'd settle for just not shitty, though.
heh

>>11550780
Yes. We can also discuss visual novel adaptations of anime, manga, and light novels.

Anime and manga go in /a/. Is a live-action film an anime or manga? Of course not.

/jp/ - Weaponized 2D/Random

>>11550775
I've always wondered what /jp/ would be like if we actually had something to discuss.

>>11550789
There's stuff to discuss, but it's all niche shit, and since it's niche there's nobody who feels like talking about it.

>>11550789
JAPANESE POP CULTURE TOPICS WE CAN DISCUSS THAT AREN'T TOUHOU OR VISUAL NOVEL GENERALS AND THAT WE SHOULD MAYBE DISCUSS MORE OFTEN:
* Doujinsoft
* Nasuverse
* Rance
* Sakura Wars
* Dorama
* Kaiju
* Tokusatsu (it's not all mecha you morons)
* Miniatures
* Gadgets
* Net idols
* J-Pop
* J-Horror
* Cinema
* Comedy
* Novels
* Light novels (that aren't a front for anime threads)
* BBSes
* Net characters (e.g. OS-tans, Nijiura Maids)
* Game shows
* Karaoke
* Arcades
* Puzzles
* Board games
* Pen-and-paper RPGs
* Snacks

FEEL FREE TO ADD MORE TO THE LIST.

>>11550796
Let me rephrase my statement.

I wonder what /jp/ would be like if we actually discussed things.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdMUQkreckE

>>11550800
Then go ahead and make those 25 threads.

(at least 20 will get deleted).

>>11550800
For that we would need users who are actually interested in a variety of Japanese things (as in, weeaboos) instead of people who just jack off and play video games all day. When it comes to discussing jacking off and materials that facilitate such activity, we actually do a pretty good job.

>>11550807
How many do you think would be successful even if they weren't deleted?

>>11550810
We're also well known for our ebin /jp/ menes :^)

>>11550810
>How many do you think would be successful even if they weren't deleted?

I don't know, but I don't think threads have to get 200 replies to be successful. Even if only two or three people show interest, that's something. At least it's different.

>>11550812
I remember there was a towelket translation thread up a month or so ago, and the community for that dissipated all of a sudden.

Probably because most people that are on /jp/ don't actually live in Japan, therefore wouldn't know jack shit about what's going on. Of course you could talk about culture and trends, book releases and shows from 10 years ago, but that looses its consistency for what the ideology of /jp/ is about. It's a catch 22, a double edged sword. /jp/ was doomed from the start.

test kill all gays

>>11550918
Normally I would report a post like this, but I feel like you're just waiting for it to be deleted so you can complain about it.

Sorry for posting this here but /tv/ isn't much of help and I didn't want to start a new thread.

Can anyone recognize the movie from this picture?
