BEEN REALLY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE QUALITY OF ANIME STORYLINES IN THE LAST DECADE? MAYBE THIS'LL LIGHT THAT DWINDLING FLAME.
This is real ladies and gentlemen. Our boys, Jensen and Jared, even confirmed the project themselves while at Rising Con Spain 2010.
The characters are being designed to look like their actors. Though it seems like all other character will be handled differently(in appearance apparently) for a fresh touch.
The characters will be voiced by the same Voice-Actors who do the voice-overs for the live-action show in Japan.
Well, this could either go really good or really bad. I'm both intrigued and a bit afraid at the idea of them toying with other characters in appearance, though I do understand; both why they're doing it and why I'm feeling a little afraid.
I personally, as it is for most others, am ingrained with these characters; that my love for what they are blinds me from seeing the potential of what they could be. This tends to be the case with people who are accustom to 'original' version of songs and movies and television shows. They are so comfortable and ingrained with how they were that they can't let go of that and see the potential of the new.
I'm looking forward to seeing what comes of this little project. How often to American television series get turned into an Anime? No, I'm being serious. It's an actual question that I am honestly interested in knowing the answer to if anyone knows it.
