Apparently SNAFU rushed through things.

I am starting to lament how anime adaptations usually cut up a lot of plot development. (Unless it's SnK which drags everything and animates even the long pauses. o_O)

That is what I would call a little ridiculous haha.

Right now the biggest problem I have with an adaption is Percy Jackson's movie adaption of the books. Just... ;;

Did they leave an opening for a sequel or did they go Eragon and destroy any semblence to the book?

I mean, Arya is DESCRIBED IN THE BOOK AS HAVING BLACK HAIR, yet she's a blonde in the movie

Nothing can be worse than Dragon Ball Evolution in terms of adaptations.

...Well, except The Last Airbender.

I mean, at least the Street Fighter one (not the Chun-Li one) was entertaining, and the recent Tekken one wasn't that bad. The DOA one was, though.

And, speaking of adaptations, I'm looking forwards to the adaptation of Naoki Urasawa's Monster. Then there's Battle Angel Alita, which I've never seen/read, but...it's a strange choice of an adaptation for James Cameron.

I feel asleep during Eragon cause it was so bad haha

Street Fighter '94 was pretty good. I just wished they stuck to the lore more but I think they got pretty spot on with most of it, but you can't really be perfect with live action. But still I don't Ryu should've been that skinny ;~;

But DOA was terrible tho. They didn't attempt to try with it (rip in peices Helena ;~;). They went with the philosophy of the games and just had bewbs and fighting everywhere. Which actually now that I think of it, that was the point.

Dear God, Helena...they didn't try at all there. I mean, there's a story to the games. Sure, the games can be story-lite and sure they have an emphasis on the lady parts, but behind all that there's a legitimate story going on. Dead or Alive took the story and ran with it, easily making it the best single player experience of the series, but all of them had an emphasis on characters that the movie didn't capture at all. Heck, a quick look at the wiki of the games showed me that they really did care about the story they were crafting, but it's hard to make story a big thing in an arcady story mode such as DOAs.

And, this may just be me, but I didn't think they captured the sexual aspects of it very well. I mean, I can name a bunch of other movies that had mild/backroundish sexual themes, even in terms of mere attractiveness, and did them better. That's not really something you can mess up with DOA. You just can't :/
