HBO/Netflix just picked up the rights to create a live action Neon Genesis Evangelion series

HBO/Netflix just picked up the rights to create a live action Neon Genesis Evangelion series.

How would you want them to go about making it? Who do you cast? How do you adapt it?

The only rule is it HAS to be live action.

AAAAAAH

They will ruin it.

>live action weeb fest

Nah ur good m8

>/threading your own post

Go back to R.eddit

Someone will be black

Let Anno do everything. Hopefully he would make something fun and cheesy like his student films and then spazz out when the audience 'doesn't get it'.

>live action anime

This has never worked and never will especially with Eva. Amerifats are too stupid to understand Young Pope you think they're gonna get Eva?

Edge of Tomorrow and the first Transformers movie was good.

>and never will
Expect more of it if GITS becomes a hit.

Just adapt the tv series with addition of later, mega-hiper-duper films (it will be difficult with this cross made of corpses tho). Should be ok.

>dat shooped Thunderbirds squad at the top right.

>mentioning Reddit to shun something he doesn't like

Back to your cumrag ridden cheese stunk bed

I was scared it was real for a second.

How can I see the actual show here in America without pirating?

>If
Animeshit is cursed next to vidyashit.
Thanks god

Sanzo for Aska, Quasimodo for Rei. Gibme all your emmies

>HBO with a weekly release
>26 episode miniseries.
>40 minutes per episode
>Adapt the series as closely as possible while adding a few scenes to pad the series out. Doesn't have to be anything huge, just maybe some more slice of life scenes or a couple more angels. Probably would be wise to add some stuff that was in the first 2 rebuilds.
>Cast ACTUAL children. Ideally unknowns.
>Follow up the series with a limited theatrical release of an End of Evangelion remake.
I can't decide if I would prefer a fully Asian cast, but maybe it would be best if it's a mix of Asians and Asian Americans. Could be easily explained with only half the population alive
>Anno needs to be at least a head producer. It's 100 percent important that he oversees, if not, directs.
>Directly follow the live action series with an airing of the original dub, an episode a day for a month.
>Cut most of the fanservice but have enough to make shinjis sexual conflicts still believable.
>English recording of the anime intro

A few small details I am interested in:
>During episode 25 and 26 during shinjis "Is this me?" scene, splice in some footage from the anime.

I'll be sure to respond to this with more stuff as I think of it.

You can't unless you find a second hand DVD set, which are expensive as fuck.

The international rights are completely up in the air at the moment. Just pirate it.

Do you count streaming sites like KissAnime pirating? That is your best bet.

If you don't want to go that route, be ready to fork some money over for the blurays. Have you not seen the series before?

>Sup Forums and Sup Forums merge
>the resulting abomination goes on a bloody rampage autistically shrieking TETSUOOOO

Will Smith for Gendo and his son for Shinji. Boom

Kaji

I hope you're right but it might just be passable enough to appeal to plebs and open the floodgates. We need another Dragon Ball Evolution.

Hire dis man, Dabid

I've never seen it before. I thought I'd give some anime a chance, I've only ever seen some Miyazaki movies. I signed up for a Crunchyroll free trial and I'm four episodes into Cowboy Bebop. It's okay.

>tfw Shinji watches Misato getting BLACKED

Yea I'd say try KissAnime. That is the best place if you don't want to torrent.

Dub or sub?

>Cowboy Bebop
>merely ok

Pirating is justified since those greedy nips wont release the Blu-Rays outside of Japan and all formats are expensive as fuck in the US

Impossible. It's hardly even popular in the west anymore aside from newfags who saw the rebuilds. We don't even have the BluRay release here. We'll see dozens of other anime adapted before Eva even gets touched.

Maybe I was expecting more than what it is. It's just like a kids Saturday morning cartoon, just a bit more violent. Maybe it gets better. The gambling broad just joined the crew.

The Real Folk Blues is a pretty good song.

Bought that box set a few years ago for like 30 dollars

And it's HBO, so you are forced to watch it as well this time because HBO loves dem tittays

I think JJBA has to be near the top of the list at this point, given its recent surge in popularity. Helps that most of the cast is white.

I'd love to see a Hokuto No Ken film that actually gets the tone right but I can't see it happening.

>Dub or sub?
I don't care too strongly one way or the other.

Kinokino

>Who do you cast? How do you adapt it?

Asuka Langley Soryu
Shinji Ikari
Rei Ayanami
Kaworu Nagisa

16 Yo characters with violence and nudity scenes in tv show in muh amurikah?

AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Phantom blood could totally work as a live action movie.

Most of it is episodic like that, but the first episodes are a lot more fluff than some of the later ones and some episodes deal with overarching storylines.

Is a pretty typical format of shows from the 90s, before everything had to be a serial drama

Rei now has guns

Take a look at Ender's Game. Kids, both genders, scenes of violence, great kino based on Asimov's novel, made in "muh amurikah". How do you feel now, self-inflated prick?

>enders game
>kino
let me rise an eyebrow

>I'd love to see a Hokuto No Ken film that actually gets the tone right
user, I have good news:

>Ender's Game
>great anything
T. Asa Butterface

too late
user is already dead

Asa Butterfield didn't bust a nut over Steinfeld's 16 y/o tittays though

They tried with a tiny budget, but it didn't have the honour and melodrama of the anime. Chris Penn as Jagi/Jackal was the highlight.

>welcome to the future

A-ha, I understand. It must be something on the verge of child porn. Then yes, it cannot be made in America. So sad, such wasted potential.

Jeez you weren't kidding, they really jacked the prices up.

I bought the NGE perfect collection way way way back in the day on a whim while walking through best buy. They had a couple shelves of anime and then one of just random box collections and one offs, there it was.

>it's almost $150 now

>Ender's Game
>Asimov

You, sir, are a big ignorant and have no fucking idea of what you are writing.

Evangelion is flashy garbage and even the creator laughs at the pseudointellectuals who've spent years justifying it's (admitted) nonsense.

HBO can't make it worse.

>Ender's game
>Asimov
You threw in the towel before the "game" ever started my nigga.

Sorry, my bad.

It's gonna suck future balls.

If Murikah want to skip the awkward teen sexual tension, they can go ahead and do a Gundam live action.

For what purpose? To jizz to some stupid mecha robots like Japanese since the end of 70s? Evangelion talks about kids who must suffer for the sins of their parents to save the Earth from cataclysm. Such contemporary "children crusade". THIS has potential, not giant robots.

Edge of tomorrow was a book

The full crew doesn't get together for a number of episodes yet, it really picks up after that.

>Eva is complicated

Lol

>low saturated filter
>shitty cgi
>shinji will be black

Please name a child actor who would be able to pull the internal monologue scenes in a heartfelt manner.

The only way it could work is to make it about superheroes instead of mechs.

Mechs would be retarded

>HBO/Netflix just picked up the rights to create a live action Neon Genesis Evangelion series.
I hope to god this doesn't happen.

I don't want leftist kikes ruining my anime.

You need to kill yourself.

>Enders Game
>Asimov

Making evangelion into a live action show would be like making the sopranos into an anime

Not really though because the sopranos is too good for that

>slice of life about bossy cute girls doing mafia things
Sign me in.

>NGE
>not cowboy bebop
It's the one anime that could actually work as live action

All Transformers movies are equally trash.

You probably like marvel capeshit you cretin

>How would you want them to go about making it?

just don't

Americanise it.
Shinji is now a Chad who actually likes piloting his EVA and people constantly get reminded that Gendo was an actually good father which he was.
No deep angel shit, just monsters attacking the Earth.

It has to be toku. If it is anything like Shin Godzilla it would be amazing.

I'd probably just make it like the rebuilds
Lots of cool mechs fighting and shit but no real plot

How Can Robots Be Real If Our Eyes Aren't Real

Redditors would just call it a Firefly rip-off now

I agree completely, just small changes like the one in 3.0 where you can see shinjis mother beeing lowered into a core are enough. I personally dont need any additional fights.

Bro have you seen evangelion. It is the only anime worth watching and end of evangelion is the best movie, including live action, ever made

retarded

Just to remember HBO hired Emilia Clarke (24 years old) to play a 14-year-old Daenerys Targaryen

What's going to be worse, this or the Ghost in the Shell remake?

*Manga. Plus most anime are just straight adaptations of LN's or manga
