Anime Blu-ray News

[WickyWoo]

Spielberg isn't directing, probably, just producing, so it could be a complete disaster. Look at Transformers (which I couldn't stand). Also, I dread the Americanized characters-- Motoko becomes Jane, Togusa becomes Tom, and the heavily tied into Japanese politics stuff becomes all about America. Yuck.

I wouldn't count on that necessarily

Spielberg has been an anime fan since the 70s, if the rumors are true he has his own personal fansubs of all of Gundam, which he paid to have done professionally from the LD boxets (dunno if that's true)

While what he allowed to be done to Transformers was shameful, I doubt Shirow will permit the same to be done to his babies, and there's no toy company beating down his door with their own ideas this time
