(Great.... another lost entry again....)
I just had to make an entry after watching
this new preview of the live action of the anime Gantz. I am clearly shocked... I knew the news way before that Nino was casted for this. I heard of the name Gantz before but the storyline didn't interest me so I brushed it aside. It was an anime I only knew by name. So after I found out Nino was casted for this, I was determined to find out why they casted him to do this. Thus, I started to watch the anime a while back after I found out about the news.
I STILL can't pin this down... maybe because Nino IS dark. After watching Ryuusei no Kizuna and Aoi no Honou, I think he is capable of being dark but.... STILL!!! I watched 2 episodes of Gantz and realized it's like a rated R anime. I was saying to myself while watching the anime: "I can't believe Nino is going to be this character and will act THIS out???" I was wondering what is going to happen to his image if people see him for the first time. Though if he accepted the job, I guess he is confident that he will get through this. Though he did [Stand Up!] so... I guess he's sort of been through it somewhat?
I think they won't stay true to the anime though, looking at the preview. They can't possibly show those rated R scenes. It's such a sci-fi storyline that I was pondering how they are going to make it live action. I look forward to it... I seriously want to finish the anime first though. I rather get the original view of the story. It's a pretty harsh story... Gantz that is...
