ITT: anime adaptations that could actually work.
>Doesn't have weird powerlevel shit or hokey magical elements that would require a big CG budget
>Story would be palatable to normies because it's just a 90's action crime story
>Already has a diverse cast so they wouldn't rub anyone the wrong way with weird casting.
>Stronk female lead for progressive points, and she's actually a fun character to boot.
Seems like it'd be a home run

Yeah many consider Black Lagoon to be a very Western anime, I think it would make a great live action movie, especially for SJW cunts as the MC is an Asian Male, Female protagonist is Asian American, Strong black man is the leader of the group, nerdy white guy is a Jew so you can't cry about it.

Black Lagoon would never work because of Revy.
A) they would hire some bony white chick with no ass and b-cup tits to play her
B) they would turn her into a sympathetic character with a moral high ground instead of the monstrous psychopath she is in the manga.
>but revy is sympathetic she's the way she is because of her environment
Everyone in Roanpur had a shitty childhood, bding raised on the streets is no excuse.
Angel Reed
Black Lagoon sucked. That said, I'd probably watch a western adaptation because I think a western production team would be able to make this a much better story than the nips could.
Cast it.
Liam Edwards
I'd only watch it if they got based Chow Yun Fat to play Chang to bring the John Woo homage full circle.
Jaxson Sanders
>Black Lagoon sucked.
You suck you niggerfaggot
Easton Campbell
Idris Elba unironically as the black fake vietnam vet
I don't know any half-chink and half-white actresses and trashy chick
I don't know any Japanese-American actors as rocku
Jonah Hill as the jewish hacker
Liam Neeson as the Nazi guy
Emily Blunt as the roosky chick
Kayden Gomez
No, you suck.
Noah Campbell
Would be awesome but CYF is 64 years old now.

Baccano is set in 1920s america and is about the mafia and wizards riding a train
Zachary Nelson

Robert James
Rock - Randall Park
Benny - Seth Rogan
Revy - The girl from Crazy Rich Asians and Ocean's 8, the really trashy Asian girl. Can't remember her name
Dutch - Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson
Jose James
The timelines would confuse too many people.
Hell, enough of Yea Forums already complain that they can't follow it even though all you need to do is put your fucking phone away when you watch it.
Xavier Smith
Nice dubs, shit casting.
Jack Clark
The jews have done it. They actually are the last bastion of the white race now. Even hitler would have to side with them.
Landon Brooks
>Awkwafina as Revy
Consider suicide user.
Carter Brown

Gabriel Johnson
>Black Lagoon sucked.
You're not wrong, it sucks in Japanese.
>That said, I'd probably watch a western adaptation because I think a western production team would be able to make this a much better story than the nips could.
This already happened. It's called Black Lagoon's English dub.
Lucas Rivera
More examples of anime where the English dub is better than the original?
Samuel Garcia
Ghost Stories
Mason Murphy
Who would play Balalaika?
Nolan Green
Fooly Cooly
Michael Wilson
>le diverse casting
>weak, effete male as main character
>LE BAD ASS STRONK WOMYN DON'T NEED NO MAN
I'm sure Netflix is trying to acquire the rights as I post this.
Alexander Scott
The first scene in this montage is kino of the highest order.
Nolan Lewis
The scenes with hotel moscow fucking shit up are kino though
Blake Flores
Michelle Rodriguez, that chick what rode the hellencopter in that Titanic sequel movie James Cameron did with blue cat-nigger looking space Allens.
>Cast it.
>Protagonist from Japan = literally any male actor because Chinamen arr rook the same.
I don't have strong enough opinions about chink cartoons, movies or actresses/actors to cast the rest, but a movie (or high-budget TV adaptation on a decent network) would be pretty good.
Justin Thompson
True.
Aaron Collins
As long as you got a crew who treats the material right e.g. like a period piece, this would be absolute ez mode to do. The hardest part would probably he the space battles, but honestly they could be knocked out with models, painted canvas, and limited CGI and it would look great.
But it will never happen like that.
Josiah Allen
It'll never happen
China would never let it fly, and the west wont make a movie without the Chinese market
Colton Murphy
This show is surprisingly bad in Japanese, but the dub actors somehow save it somewhat by giving the characters far more interesting personalities. I still wish for a BGC adaptation that really lives up to what feels like its potential ought to be, but on some level I know, in my heart, that it was always superficial and never really had a chance to to be anything deeper.
Joseph Roberts
I could totally see a western adaptation doing a far better job of this than any of the anime we got.
Thomas Morgan
>Lucy Liu as Shenhua
>doing a horrible "me rove you rong time" accent
FUND IT
Cooper Peterson
Space Dandy.
Levi Perry
Bebop
Wyatt Williams
underrated and extremely based
Bentley Reed
I know it’s childish, but Dragon ball z and bleach had great dubs
Jason James
Yikes this could get ugly
Angel Anderson
Death Note...
Oh wait. They fucked that up too. I'd rather they didn't bother trying.
Landon Powell
The Bubblegum Crisis OVA was best. This one wasn’t great. I can’t even remember Bubblegum Crash except for the awesome opening.
Anthony Gonzalez
This could be condensed into 9 or 10 really good episodes.
Aiden Ramirez
A Silent Voice
Filmed like Boyhood. Film the kid story parts first then wait 5 years and film the main chunk of the film.
Could also be great if Americanized. White guy bullying a Asian girl.
Charles Ross
Welp, supernatural has done it well several times now, I mean it's supernatural. The premise is very open to creative minds
Evan Roberts
Would never happen. Sadly
Jackson Bennett
I've read a decent Black Lagoon/John Wick fanfic before. As long as it was made like that it could be decent. Not sure the shitty east asian slumtown setting would be ok in the west today though.
Adrian Hernandez
Unironically Hellsing.
i miss the naive days of edgy vampire fiction.
Parker Edwards
>Riverdale style reboot
>Daphne is an instagram thot
>Fred is a private school turbochad
>Velma is a gamer girl
>Shaggy is in full blown DUDE WEED LMAO mode
It would be absolute trash and I'd watch every episode
Hudson Nelson
Bebop's dub really is overrated as fuck though. There's nothing weak about the original acting that that dub would be able to improve on, and it really just doesn't. It's a perfectly passable dub for Toonami, but that's really just it.
Angel Richardson
>...he doesn’t know about the millennial SD reboot
Turn back now. This isn’t a rabbit hole you want to go down.
Thomas Davis
that's fucking stupid
they would hire a latina and prob exagerate the "child abuse" thing
Thomas Perry
and FMA is pretty good too.
Bleach only works cause Jonny is rad.
Colton Jones
Goose
Keanu if they transfuse him 20L of newborn blood
Alex Daddario
The Rock
Christopher Baker
Laurence Fishburn as Dutch
Lucy Liu as Revy
Jerry Seinfeld as Benny
Ken Watanabe as Rock
Have been saying this for the last 12 years. Hire me Hollywood
Adam Murphy
Ah, Michelle Rodriguez as Levy.
Matthew Perry
Please no
Brody Rogers
BGC is fucking kino
BGC2040 has potential but turns into the Priss show except 2040 Priss is a sourpuss vs the hotheaded punk rock singer who wore wigs and makeup like GaGa of the Future
Nathan Ross
I would be so upset if they did a Black Lagoon adaptation.
They'd fuck up the guns.
they'd give Revy her FS92 Inox, and call it a day.
Gun Nun would probably get a regular Glock 17 instead of the 17L
im getting angry just thinking about it
Joshua Thompson
>you crazy bitch!
Fuck, revy vs the maid was kino
Levi Price
Cast her or your mother will die in her sleep tonight
Hudson Hernandez
>>Doesn't have weird powerlevel shit
That fucking episode about the cringy edgy twins
That fucking weird if they delet that then it's fine also that maid hitman sucks
Carter Robinson
>also that maid hitman sucks
Eli Brown
Faggot
Nicholas Anderson
>that scene in the manga where that girl steals a kiss and makes out with rock in front of revy basically cucking her
something about girls stealing men is very hot
Brayden Jones
Holy shit wtf did they do to Shaggy?
Eli Clark
Lol, good luck with the maid arc.
Jace Hill
Sofia Vergara
Adam Wilson
Any shoujo manga. I wonder why Hollywood hasn't adapted Boys over Flowers yet when a billion people in asia know this story from all those adaptations. It's prints money.
Jacob Powell
AS LONG AS IT'S NOT NETFLIX OR SOME WOKE ASS PUBLISHER ITLL BE FINE.
Eli Miller
Zipang would be cool as fuck
John Parker
Beck
Matthew Scott
>BGC is fucking kino
Agreed.

It's just that having fantastic direction, and the utter awesomeness that is Priss and her music, is all it really has and it's in need of something more to make it have impact beyond being the admittedly highly atmospheric cyberpunk show it is.
>BGC2040 has potential, except 2040 Priss is a sourpuss
Again agreed. The other characters thankfully become much more well defined and interesting specifically in the dub, but Priss, who otherwise deservedly takes up the limelight in the OVAs, is such a frigid tryhard that there is no saving her. She absolutely cannot pull off the utter charm OVA Priss has, and this is detrimental to the show. I can hardly even buy the idea that she's supposed to be in a band or that her music or performance is in any way successful, nor that she's the kind of person who honestly gives enough of a shit to be in something like the Knight Sabers. I don't even need to bring up how much more awkward her relationship with Leon is compared to how exceptional natural it is in the original.
However, the overall attempt to have a plot and development that meaningfully progresses in ways the original OVAs struggled to is something that makes me think of it fondly, despite how it can drag.
Brody Rogers
This is the best answer
Michael Brown
Black Lagoon up till before the stupid shit like terminator maid and vampire twins could be great if Hollywood ever figured out how to make live action anime adaptations that somewhat tried to capture the original. Personally, the one show I'd love to see adapted (though as an HBO/Showtime miniseries and not a movie) would be Baccano!
Juan Lee

Brody Rogers
This has been thrown around plenty of time with no takers. I'm pretty sure guillermo del toro was attached to it at one point.
There's just too much to condense and still keep it coherent.
Wyatt Foster
>Michelle Rodriguez
too fucking old. It's gotta be someone young and cute therefore unassuming.
Nicholas James
cyber city odeo 808. has the best english dub of any anime period.
Nathan Edwards
I came here to post this.
William Ortiz
Del Toro tried so hard to pitch it to networks like HBO, but they didn't see the potential. He already has a few episodes written. Guess we'll never get pure kino from someone who loves the series as much as I do.
Aaron Gutierrez
How can anyone claim the world would be a better place if every jew on the planer was allowed to live?
