oh, gods, WHY did someone make Terraformars into anything? I swear, someone made a deal with the devil on that one. It was talked about when the first season came out, because of how BAD it is (Storywise) It was panned by everyone at the time, and someone decided they needed a live action movie?

[@synaesthesia2010]

Alita is such a fantasitic film and the Alita Army need a sequel already

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Absolutely! I fell in love with Alita the moment she shyly said "Hi," to the doctor, and it's so much better a movie than "Captain Marvel" was and is. But yet which movie got all the promotion, I wonder? Hmmm...

Except for Ichi, Lone Wolf, Uzumaki and the samurai one, ive seen all of'em and damn they was good. Parasite and Gantz blew my mind, the scenario was almost the same as in the anime. You should have put Casshern in this list cause the action scenes are awesome just like in Kenshin. Very nice video 👍

Crying Freeman is totally a John Woo movie. I mean just look at the slow-mo gun battle sequences. If you have seen The Killer or Hardboiled or even Face Off, you would recognize that style anywhere.

[@brianng8350]

I think at that time, John Woo was the craze. If it was done now, it would look more like Jason Borne or John Wick. It would be nice to see an updated and bigger budget remake. But between the violence and sex, it would be impossible to get a mainstream budget, which is a shame.
