tokidoki's Questions (56)

I can relate to this on so many levels...

To be honest, I was skeptical when I heard they cast Ryosuke Yamada as Ed. He was good as a child actor, but I haven't been satisfied with his performance in recent years.
...
He is short though LOL

Me too ╮(￣▽￣)╭
But I'm just sooo happy there is a live action that I don't really care (I only heard of it yesterday).
As long as the live action is good, it's fine by me (▰˘◡˘▰)
But Edward... He was my first love and my heart is not racing with Ryosuke Yamada (≧∀≦)

Sorry, but Ed and Al, Winry, Riza, Hawkeye and Breda, The Armstrongs ... are not Asian, not trying to whitewash this, but the story takes place in an Alternate Germany, not Japan

who cares ┑(￣Д ￣)┍ it's made for the japanese audience

Fans care? There was a huge to-do over Scarlett Johanssen cast for Ghost in the Shell

It's quite impossible thou for a japanese production to get this many foreign looking actors who have to speak fluent japanese too (since it's for a japanese audience primarily.
It would not only cost them huge amount of money but also there would be a high chance japanese people wouldn't go see the movie (since they're not really that fond of foreigners)
It's just normal marketing reasons. They want to make money. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

There is always dubbing? I don't know, I know a number of people who are big fans ... but maybe after the disaster of Avatar live action they are being conservative?

I know people talk of whitewashing for GITS and the Death Note Netflix movie and i understand some of their points. However for FMA it's a japanese movie made for japanese people, so they will cast japanese to play the part and I don't understand why people are upset.

Death Note was miscast too - they make clean cut Japanese high school honours student Light look like a really rough 25 year old blonde surfer - I never said I was upset, only a little disappointed, so, please don't put words in my mouth.

I hate dubbing. There was one time I watched a Japanese movie where they cast a Chinese character for the role of the Chinese detective and despite his handsomeness and good acting I wanted to stab him every time he opened his mouth T-T
Also, the LA is not going to sell if Japanese people, its main market, are not familiar or comfortable with the actors. FMA setting is Western, but because it was made by Japanese people for Japanese people, it has nuances that only people in that culture can comprehend. Working with a cast of foreigners who don't comprehend the language may also pose some difficulty to production, 'cos the staff will mostly be Japanese.

Well, the Death Note and Ghost in the Shell will really be lacking the nuances of the manga/anime - as they are both done in English ... it is a Catch 22

I'm disappointed (╯°Д °)╯╧╧

So was I ... but t'was too funny not to share

I guess there are a few sourpusses out there too ... otherwise why thumbs down ... no sense of humour

If it can make you feel better, I'm a disappointed thumb up (๑•ㅂ•)و✧

(づ￣ ³￣)づ

Some of the things that get thumbs downed make me sad. Like what on earth would make you thumbs down that??

Puhahhahaahahahahahahahahhhahahhah i die

Ohh myyyy ... at first I thought it might be this (which would be a little more appropriate) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F9DxYhqmKw

Bwahahaha <O.O>

I watched brotherhood first then the original anime one and its still really good. Its not as good as brotherhood of course but still definitely worth watching. I just thought of them as two completely different things. This happened in this version and that happened in the that version. If you can make that clear distinction it should be a lot more enjoyable

Thanks! I have watched it though, just, it felt wrong (read the manga/saw Brotherhood first)

I watched original first and got so sad and said I could never watch it again. My stepson told me to watch Brotherhood and I was adamant about NOT watching it but he made me sit down one weekend and we watched the whole thing together! (๑•ㅂ•)و✧ It satisfied me! What do you think about the live action adaption? I know there is now Ghost in the Shell, but just found out about FMA.

dtrfuyoik;ljjhrtre6rfvj.... there is a live action adaptation? Where did you see it? I know Ghost in the Shell has one, so does Death Note (but they cast a blonde white guy as Light - and the guy looks a bit like a junkie O.O)

I just googled Fullmetal Alchemist hehe. Tiny trailer of the movies is YouTube

I just did too ... meh, the actors are supposed to be 'alternate universe Germans' and they cast blond/gold eyed Ed as with a Japanese person ... Hollywood makes no sense. They keep messing up animes that are just perfect as they are. Makes me a little sad.

I wonder what's going on with the Bleach movie.... Oh and a Naruto movie!

Nooooooo! They will probably miscast those too - look at Avatar - what a mess they made of a pretty good anime.

Rurouni Kenshin (Trilogy) was the only great manga-to-live action adaptation that graced the silver screen.

I guess I just feel excited because the Marvel and DC movies and shows were so well done and making movies of animes I love is awesome! We got spoiled... ╮(￣▽￣)╭

Wow! Just watched this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iKKmjA7DJ0 - looks like it is really well done, but ... but the guy with the Bart Simpson hair made me laugh

Yeah, The Marvel and DC movies were awesome, so why is there such a disconnect when it comes to anime? It is very odd.

Hey, so was there happy ending in the movie or he just died like x relfection if i may ask

Nice! I'm gonna have to watch this. My husband might actually like it also!

It is odd. Maybe they don't put as much money into the anime movie adaptions because they don't think they will be that popular....? (〜￣△￣)〜

The adaption for fullmetal is directed by Japanese people this time so Hollywood's got nothing to do with it. . did you also see/hear that the person to play 'L' in Death Note is a black guy?

Really? There goes my view of him as an anemic insomniac, pale as a ghost with bags under his eyes. I will wait for more trailers before deciding whether to see it, but my one little view of FMA elicited an immediate negative response, not sure why.

thats L in Death Note https://i.ytimg.com/vi/tzdTjPJDSeo/hqdefault.jpg
Why couldn't they use Samuel L. Jackson if they need a black dude

Sorry if you took my opinion as a negative response, I wasn't intending for it to sound so. Just wanted to give you correct information.

Oh, I didn't. I thank you for the info ... I am not much a a web surfer ... LOL

Imo the original is better.

It's fine .

I occasionally have that problem with new chapters. If you report the chapter that it's happening on mangago will fix it.

Thanks!

I've done that before... I've wasted 15 minutes doing that sometimes.

Glad to know I am not alone or slipping into madness, are maybe that is where we both are? O.O

You think I'm crazy, you think I'm gone. So what if I'm crazy? All the best people are. And I think you're crazy too, I know you're gone. That's probably the reason that we get along.

That sums it up! (⌒▽⌒)
(I don't suppose you know that song?)

I don't know that song, but sound like I would like it, shall we get neighbouring rooms at the asylum, and those fashionable white jackets with the reallllly long sleeves? Oh, and can we say drugs?

Oh, are you talking about the hug jackets? We can write little notes to each other on the wall, it will be a bit sad since we can't read each others note, but it sounds great!

Same, then again I'm that person that would wear shorts regardless XP.

It's 13C here now and I consider that cold lol
It was near 30C all last week.

where are you? I live in tropical land, with normal range 25 to 30, not sure bout odd weather, just becoming hotter lately, even in the Rain season, it feel hot and humid. just sleeping enough to make me all sweaty, unless I stand in front of the Fan.

Sunday if I'm right it was about 4-5C, 14C yesterday and 16C tomorrow apparently

Wow I think I'm gonna die with -37C... Range here is between 2C to 45C in general

Western Canada - and this is usually the coldest month of the year ... you sure have some toast weather!

Australia is torture. 43 degrees last Friday and Saturday, but Monday till now has been pretty cold.

That would kill me! I would actually prefer snow and cold ... well, still, I like all the seasons here

thunder storm turning to snow by morning

┗( T﹏T )┛

Yikes! -37C sounds horrible, I feel sorry for you (づ￣ ³￣)づ
It's -10C at my place which is perfect. The worst we had this winter was around -27C.

Ah, it's not so bad here, just a little North they have extreme cold warnings (-45C) and some residents just lost heat due to a gas main fire ... but -10 sounds like t-shirt weather right about now LOL

Are you in the Yukon or the Northwest? It's not that cold here, but windchill made it less pleasant in the morning.

Alberta - I was using the temperature plus windchill - are you from Yukon (my great aunt/uncle used to live in Carmacks)

Just imagining this makes me feel cold ;___; How do you even manage?
I like when it's chilly, but -45C would be a total nightmare

and i'm sad because it's getting colder again with temperatures being around zero. it was around 10C last week

Currently 6°C in Belgium, quite a nice weather. It feels like spring today (before the scandinavian anticyclone). In any case, my winter is not harsh as yours. Stay warm ! (●'◡'●)ﾉ

Lots of layers, hats, mitts, scarves ... but two weeks ago, it rained here - you get used to the cold, but when the temperatures fluctuates so much it's harder.

I'm also from Alberta.

Hello! Are you from down South with the major snowstorm or further North!

Central-ish, around Calgary. What about you? Edmonton?

Just outside of Edmonton, but I used to live in old cow-town - LOL miss the Chinooks there!

I am green with envy (but just over a week ago it was 8C and raining here, so I should not complain too much)

It'll be 83F (I think that's around 27C?) tomorrow. So warm that I had to grab my summer clothes out of storage. I'm not sure where winter went here...

that's really big difference, way smaller ones always make me sick and sleepy, idk if i could function like a normal person there XD

i'm happy that it feels like it's spring time, but it's not normal, it should be colder, but climate change (￣∇￣")

Yes, the really warm winter days are unusual here, global warming indeed

(⊙…⊙ )

Texas winters are a bit strange. (￣∇￣")
It rarely snows and there's hardly even any days below freezing.

I have an old friend who lives in Texas - she teaches voice and sings opera - she often writes me about the wild weather in Texas

Well I'm in Vancouver BC, weather is usually quite nice, but it rains a lot.
For some reason it's snowing more than it usually does.
Apparently the amount of snow had broken records.
And we're expecting another added feet by tmr.

Just to clarify.
Not world records XD
But in terms of the city

I have a friends in Vancouver - they wanted to send the snow this way! Sorry, but we have enough here (Southern Alberta got more than a metre in some places ... LOL)

i lived in ottawa for 15 years, so i feel you. but i'm back in australia and it's a sunny 32C atm (⌐■_■)

Makes me greatfull for livings here. XD I'm quite bad with snow and cold weather. I see, to have really bad balance so I fall.... A lot.
It's a little expensive though.
