  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Has anyone watch live action asian dramas adapted from manga like hana kimi, boys over flowers, etc? or any T.V. asian dramas like My boss My hero, You re beautiful, etc?
I heard rumors that they are making rurouni kenshin in to a movie!! I think they already picked out an actor! Also Skip Beat into a T.V. series!
What do you think?

I saw Shinobi: Heart Under Blade which is based off the same novel as Basilisk while the movie was alright but it's very different from the anime/manga, the only other thing like that I have seen was that awful live action Gundam movie they made years ago G-Saviour.

I havent seen Shinobi but I have seen Zettai Kareshi. And I liked how they changed the age range HS(from the manga) from Working adult(the drama). It makes way more sense to have a robot BF during the 20s. I have not seen the whole drama. I think I am up to ep. 6 I dont think I have heard about Sapuri...

Nothing wrong with making some changes as long as they keep the spirit of the show.
I also saw the Dragonball movie which I thought was about as good as the tv show of course you got to keep in mind I hated the tv series with a passion. You can't expect anything more then a garbage live action movie when your basing it off of a garbage anime.

I dont mind live action interpretations at all, but there are very very few that I have enjoyed.

All in all, I think making movies is something Japan doesn't do too well with. Choppy editing, really awful writing, and generally bad acting everywhere. That's why the only good Japanese movies are the one's that are made to be cheesy and never take themselves too seriously.
