Major update to my previous blog post about the Gantz live action movie that was announced earlier this year. Looks like there is some new movie footage popping up on the internet lately. Honestly I'm probably the last man in the boat about this updated information but since I'm pretty interested in the movie I thought I'd share my own thoughts about the new footage.

From what I understand the CGI footage in the videos are pre-production stuff so you can't judge the graphics of the movie just yet. Even so it still looks worlds better than some of the other CGI effects of previous Anime adaption movies already. There are two films in the works and the first one will be out in January 2011 while the second movie will be released the following spring. I didn't follow the anime to much thanks to Netflix's piss poor DVD availability so I'm not exactly sure what the train fight is all about with the group of Gantz versus gun welding people is all about but it looks like it will be an interesting fight sequence. The footage definitely gets my hopes up of a GOOD anime live action adaption.

Check out these three videos for a look at the upcoming Gantz movies.

Do you remember watching the first opening and trailer for Moyashimon: Tales of Agriculture and how it looked like it might actually be live action drama and not an anime? When it first came out I remember thinking that. Now however it looks like that will actually be happening now. That's right those cartoonish looking microbes are getting their own live action Drama. I can't wait, normally I don't care for J-Dramas but this one I might just make an exception for.

I loved the anime and am looking at picking up the manga for a read so I'm super excited to hear that we're getting some more cute microbes but am saddened, to be honest, that it's not in the form of another anime season.

I'll also be honest, I'm really looking forward to seeing what the girls are going to look like and what is going to happen in regards to Trap. At the moment all we really know is that it will air on Fuji TV starting in July, 2010, and is staring Yuichi Nakamura who is better known for his Kamen Rider roles.

Thankfully there has been a new trailer released onto the Internet so you can check that out as well below.

Following yesterday's post about the Gantz Live Action Anime Movie we have yet another Otaku related upcoming Live Action Movie for, of all things, Tekken. Oh joy another feature film based on a fighter game franchise. I don't think I can contain my enthusiasm enough.... Yeah I'm not too excited about the idea of another one of these movies either. Lets face it, has any fighting game movie been all that great? They were OK to good rentals but no box office smashes. Maybe this one can change all that though.

After reading the wiki about it it doesn't look like there is even an American distributor for it at the moment even though it's opening in Japan in early March and being released on DVD in the UK in early April so I'm thinking with how wonderfully well the previous fighting game movies did we'll be getting this one on DVD as well. If that's the case I'll check it out, definitely wouldn't waste my money on seeing it in the theater that's for sure.

Considering one of the best parts of the Tekken video games is the cute girls in little outfits that seem to have their own gravity fields allowing the girls' ample bosoms the ability to bounce like nothing else, well we can hope right. In any case here is a trailer for Tekken.
