Was skeptical of Anime Batman... until... by blindambition238	Dec 12th, 2007 07:01:14 AM
I saw the couple pieces of art that came out which look very cool indeed. I never was into anime, but the only thing I was worried about when it was announced was that it would be the pseudo anime stylings of 'teen titans' and 'the batman' but this does look stylish but gritty. Anyways if Bruce Timm is involved we can count on the story being more than entertaining. It'll be interesting to see if how he interprets the cinematic Batman versus the DCAU ones.

I know they can't fuck up with this one unlike that mystery of the batwoman crap. Although Batman VS Dracula was a nice attempt.

See this movie! Everyone I know LOVES it. SEE IT SEE IT SEE IT. It's like an adorable Back to the Future, and has been made into several formats since the original 1965 novel. Madhouse animates like no other studio, very loose, but clean. Batman Anime sounds too cool, the promotional image I saw was detailed enough that you could see Bruce's eye through the white lens! Satoshi Kon producing Batman with Bruce Timm involved is just heaven.

If you like animation and you are are not watching this show you just dont know what you are missing. I see the nominations on that list and leaving this one off is just a travesty. Its one of the few animated shows that even comes close to the richness of the DC animate universe in terms of character development, plot, action, and great voice acting. Why it is not covered on this site or why it was left virtually off that awards list is beyond me.
batman anime done before by darwinwins	Dec 12th, 2007 05:54:27 PM
remember when Batman: TAS production and art direction went from american to japan? that was essentially batman anime. and it rocked. the movements were smoother though details on characters were more sparse.
Satoshi Kon Batman?! by CZ	Dec 12th, 2007 09:31:27 PM
They've tapped three of the best studios and one of the best anime directors working today. I can't wait to see this thing.
THE MACHINE GIRL HAS A DRILL BRA FUCK YEAH! by crayon	Dec 12th, 2007 10:46:26 PM
Not to mention ninjas and all other sorts of awesomeness. Just hand out the Oscars already and get it over with. Secondly, Kanon on TV? Hmm, I don't exactly forsee huge ratings. Thirdly, an American Dub of Lucky Star is pretty much going to remove any hint of cuteness from it. Hey, American VAs may be able to do an otherwise decent job (if you think that way), but the one thing they just aren't that good at is sounding cute. Grating; that's doable.
Avatar Airbender is indeed by veritasses	Dec 12th, 2007 11:34:56 PM
surprisingly good but the biggest travesty about that show is that it's on Nickelodeon and doesn't seem to get any promotion or airtime. It's a damn shame so few people know about it. The Batman Anime almost sounds too good to be true. Can't wait for it.
The Batmanimatrix by Reel American Hero	Dec 13th, 2007 10:58:15 AM
I wonder if it will be different interpretations of The Dark Knight (the character, not the movie) or if it will be in Nolanverse Batman canon stuff. Either way could be cool.
Lot's of good news! by Johnno	Dec 13th, 2007 06:54:27 PM
I think I'll make AppleSeed 2 my first blu-ray purchase, though I'm still waiting for those free movies to come in that I mailed out for... c'mon already! I'll definately pick up 'Girl who leapt' on DVD I totally love that movie for some strange reason... also is 5cm/sec out on DVD yet? And where can I see these promotional images of the Batmanimatrix??? Holy shit! I'm glad they actually went with Japanese animators and actually picked some if not the most awesome studios!!! How many shorts will there be? Every one of you should be kissing the Wachowskis asses for opening these doors! But I'm sure they'll be pleased if you bought a ticket to Speed Racer instead :P
