Sweet, eh? Personaly, I think if any other anime is to be made into a movie, CGI animation is the way to go.

They even gave him a shirt, about time.

By the way Ghetto I agree, and not just with the anime either. Video Game movies seem to be decisely better if they're animated instead of live action.

From now on I think I'll prefer animated video game movies and CGI anime adaptations to live action unless something changes my mind soon.

I wholly agree with you guys. Thus far, most of the attempted anime-to-real-life-movies transitions have not gone well. *coughDragonballZcough* I think we are better off with CGI.

And yay, good to see the return of our beloved Atom to the world of contemporary entertainment.

Just to put my two cents in, it doesn't matter whether it's CGI or live action. That doesn't affect the quality of the film. If the project has a garbage script, stupid director and bad actors attached to it, it's going to be terrible whether it's with real people or computer generated.

True, but at least it looks better and not... well... you know...

I thought the whole point of Roshi was that he looked really old but he was actually pretty damn strong. He's more middle age then real old.

He better have a turtle, I may not be a fan of the series but I sure as hell know he has a damn turtle.

I doubt it. I think the only characteristic Chou Young Fat here will have with Roshi is that he's a perverted old fart.

Anyway, DL's two cents make sense, I just got carried away with the CGI in this film and how the characters look. Dr.Tenma and Pro. Ochanomizu look great, but voiced by Nicolas Cage, I don't know :meh2: .

To be frank, I don't think Chou Young Fat is a bad choice, its just he doesn't look enough like Roshi. A bit of makeup, fake beard, sunglasses I'd probably accept him.

Can't be any worse then... not green Piccolo.

I was really relieved when I heard the Astro Boy movie was going to be CGI. I knew that if it was gonna be a live action movie...it just wouldnt work, simple as that.

I too perfer CGI and animated films when it comes to making anime and video game film adaptions. I guess for some cases...perhaps it's alright, but majority of the time, it's CGI/animated for me.

Anyways, looking forward to the Astro Boy movie =]
