Gabriel Diaz
Death Note 2 baby!!!!

>low budget, live action adaptation of a high fantasy anime which relied on flashy and fluid fights to keep the crowd interested I can't wait
Colton Wright
Not really surprising or interesting. All you're gonna do is complain about the cast and SAO in general for the 1000th time. So instead lets talk about why .hack hasn't gotten a new anime.
Ryan Turner
So which one will be black? Klein?
Ayden Campbell
the black guy will be black
Christian King
But that would make too much sense.
Gavin Wright
Imagine being so voided of talent that you spend a hollywood budget on creating a live action drama based off the light novel known for two years worth of semen making glopping noise flowing into a slut.
Christopher Kelly
Well, that's enough Sup Forums for one day. I think I just got cancer from reading that.
Lincoln Mitchell
the SAO live action has the same writer and production team as Altered Carbon
Joshua Hill
I hope it dies though.
Dylan Perez
So Death Note2.0?
Alexander Rogers
Everyone will be black
Cept Asuna who will be a big fat chola with rainbow hair
Evan Robinson
nah its skydance doing the production so it will at least look nice
Logan Allen
Oh shit well I actually liked AC so i'll have to see if the actresses are hot I might want nudity
Zachary Davis
mfw skydance adapts 16.5 to the live action
Luis James
Kirito will be black. Asuna will remain Asian. That meets their diversity quota while giving them an interracial couple they can push.
If they don't just stick to stretching Aincrad out then: Leafa will be a blasian. Sinon will be white so they can comment on gun violence.
Elijah Richardson
>an actual black swordsman
Isaiah Gomez
They gonna make Kirito a girl after the fake avatar to IRL look scene and have her les it up with hispanic Asuna
Luis Hughes
Soundtrack: Migos, Gucci Mane, Rick Ross, Young Thug
Mason Young
theres a ton of young asian actors in altered carbon flashbacks so skydance might pull it off
Alexander Jones
Asuna will be the black guy! With a female avatar. Genius.
Benjamin Flores
So how long until Netflix starts going crazy with live action anime adaptions?
At this point they have to be eyeing Devilman and Fate adaptions.
Tyler Miller
>They make Shiro black his alter self
Thomas Gray
netflix has made some good series, i'm at least somewhat optimistic knowing that they're involved
Evan Scott
for a second i thought you were talking about voltron
Andrew Collins
Because for all intents an purposes, CyberConnect have left it declining far too long.
