The Old School Otaku Lounge

Think of the concept of "anime fan movie" and how retarded that must be. Now watch this link, and be pleasantly surprised: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOrugmRO ... re=related

Isn't it PERFECT? The characters are not only recognizable, but perfect! It's a shame that Hollywood can't ever seem to get it right, with that abysmal live-action Dragonball Z movie, terrible video game movies (Chun Li as a Caucasian, etc), and the upcoming Akira live-action (shudder) and Cowboy Bebop live-action that's supposedly going to star Keanu F'ing Reeves. I am insulted when a bunch of idiot Hollywood execs pretend to know what we fans want to see, and all they do is patronize and condescend and insult our intelligence!

Heck, they did a better job than the official Lupin live-action movie from the '70s. They have a Facepalm page at http://www.facebook.com/lupinfanmovie The website, www.lupinfanmovie.com, is dead. I wonder if there are DVD copies of this movie floating around at conventions and such? I can't figure out if this movie is in Italian or English. Interesting.

Hey, that was actually pretty cool.

I hope it will still be released even though the website is down... I tried poking around a bit to see if I could find any information, but I didn't find anything particularly interesting. I may give it another try later on when I've got a bit of time.
