Discussion:

Is there any anime at all you’d like to see made into a live-action movie? Cast ideas?
Should humanity just STOP doing this forever?

Jahmere: Tokyo Ghoul. Good story, no need for dramatic CGI, great actors and emphasis on action could create the need
Colton: HELL NO!
Andrew: The Zelda one might be good…maybe.

 

Takeaway:

 Jahmere: 2GAM and Navy Life
Colton – Life Lessons: Gintama Manga Cast
Andrew: The Other Side and the latest article: Please Stop Making School Anime.
