This sounds like the video game equivalent of walking my beagle every morning.

He was amazing in the Rurouni Kenshin Trilogy.

Everyone was amazing in the Rurouni Kenshin Trilogy.
It was the first time I truly felt like I was watching a big, epic adaption of a manga/anime, without thinking “Hey, this is an adaption of a manga, and these actors playing said characters.”

I was totally engrossed.…

Yes I know the Rurouni Kenshin live action were good. I had goosebumps when I watched them.

I mean... the life action Rurouni Kenshin movie was amazing, to be fair.

Japan was never complaining, they were applauding it. it was white Americans that were complaining about GITS.

It’s mostly just you. The game still looks pretty good even in 2016. Ueda’s games always have had this weird realistic mixed with stylized cartoon look.

Hard to explain, but the backgrounds and settings have always had a very realistic art style but the characters have a certain stylized look.

With more development time…

Early Japanese reviews have hailed the film as a masterpiece. The jury isn’t out on this one yet.

So so true.. when you think about it, Evanlegion was so good in the beginning because every time they had to deal with an angel attack, they had to come up with a new plan.

Take the Rurouni Kenshin live action, it was spectacular, with the only bad part being that the jerks stopped at the Kyoto arc and didn’t continue doing the Jinchu arc. Not to mention many people enjoyed the Death Note live action movies, the Sailor Moon live action show,…

because sometimes they end up really good. like DeathNote and Rurouni Kenshin.

As said in other posts, when it comes to japanese live-action, the counter-argument of whitewashing is not so apt since we’re talking about way lower budgets with not enough of an infra-structure there to hire international actors... japanese movie industry isn’t comparable to Hollywood. Plus it’d be very hard to get…

My own personal nomination:

I'm not sure there's anything cooler than The Man from Nowhere's fight scene at the end but it's not exactly kung-fu. More gun-fu with hints of kung-fu.
