Oh, boy... I always want to be fair and think, "Hey maybe this won't suck," but I don't know. Fox hasn't exactly had a great track record, Hollywood seems to treat stuff anime as well as video game properties, and I don't know about having Keanu as Spike. Who knows? Maybe he can surprise the hell out of us and make a great Spike, and maybe the movie will be good, but while I'm not betting on it, I won't condemn it unless I see for myself that it sucks.

@freehaven if you don't like anime than why the fuck do you post here? It is like me posting at a chick flick movie, of course I'm not going to like it and not going to ever see it. So why would I troll on it? -_- Fucking hater.

And anyone who thinks dragonballz was good anime is fucking nuts! There is NO critical thinking in it. Nothing to reflect on. Just pointless violence. How could "hollywood" do that right?

I agree with a lot of the righteous indignation everyone is voicing about this casting choice but on the plus-side keanu could do a good job with the cinematic marital arts that spike will no doubt be laying down on some bad-guys. Wait till the real kick in the teeth comes when they annouce that they're going to do a RnB version of the theme tune or something!

Good Lord no. Fox is going to fuck this up horribly. And on top of that Keanu Reeves as Spike? He might look a bit like him, but their personalities just don't blend. That is if you can say Keanu has a personality at all. This series can work as a movie, but I trust Fox with it as much as I trust a hooker with sideburns to be of the female sex.

I hope that the 20th Century Fox doesn't screw this up...

Yeesh, now Hollywood is really running out of ideas when they want to make classic animes into movies. Only the Wachowski bros. should be allowed to make such movies.

Hey Pop Tart, they already made an anime movie for Bebop. It's called Knocking on Heavens Door. In America it is just called Cowboy Bebop The Movie. Bebop is my favourite anime so this is quite a dissapointment to hear. I thought I never had to worry about this show getting this kind of treatment because it was so old and out of the public eye already. Oh well.
