If anyone has it, how about showing Super Sentai?
2007 is it's 30th anniversary.

fyi, it's the forerunner of Power Rangers.

I would very much like to see Densha Otoko. Death Note would be great as well but I'm sure it would be more difficult to get a hold of...

I would of course say "Battle Royale" that movie is my biggest infactuation in life. Other than that I would say:
"Happiness of the Katakuris" it's Takashi Miike's musical remake of the korean flick "The Quiet Family". It is brilliant.
There's also Beat Takeshi Kitano's "Getting Any" One of the greatest comedies I have seen in a long while featuring parodies of everything from "Zatoichi" to "Godzilla".

I just looked at the video schedule again and saw that the Death Note movies have been replaced with "TBA"... did something happen?

SENTAIS would be nice. like this year we had ULTRAMAN! Kamen Rider is awesome as well

DawsonBriggs · Post by **DawsonBriggs** » Mon May 07, 2007 11:06 am

I think for next year, it may be a good idea to have a seperate room for LA dramas and movies. Because of Fansubs, you can have current shows playing, as well as classics such as Nobuta Wo Produce, Kimi Wo Petto, Both seasons of Hana Yori Dango and... I dont know, Attention Purizu! because everyone likes Ueto Aya. And who could forgot Takashi Sorimachi as GTO

Kal_the_ronin · Post by **Kal_the_ronin** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 9:49 pm

Recomendation for next year. Ronin-Gai and anything with Akira Kurosawa name on it as Director.

tammertime · Post by **tammertime** » Thu Sep 06, 2007 1:00 am

[quote=DarkMagicalKnight]this is just an idea. If it is bad, I am sorry. Here i go. I think it would be a good idea if next year for the video panel to show Japanese horror flicks. Of course this would be late at night at an appropriate age level. It can show, the Ring, The Grudge, the Audition type of horror flicks. I do not know. Something like that. I personally love Japanese horror flicks. I think they are more scarier than American horror flicks. [/quote]

Genius!!! I was thinking the same thing the other day! I LOVE Japanese horror movies! We could really scare people with Uzumaki (you'll never see Naruto the same way again!!!)or Tomie. They both have my vote! There's also the option of One Missed Call, which I believe is being made in the US. Definately something over the top though like Tomie or Uzumaki (both manga-based, by the genius Junji Ito. If you want some disturbing stuff, look him up- especially Gyo. But if you do.... I didn't recommend it!) }:|

tammertime · Post by **tammertime** » Thu Sep 06, 2007 1:06 am

I Love the PoT movie! Good idea!

tammertime · Post by **tammertime** » Thu Sep 06, 2007 1:07 am

Or of course anything Akira Kurosawa, except maybe not Seven Samurai. I can't even sit for that long... :laugh:

kiarrens · Post by **kiarrens** » Thu Sep 06, 2007 2:52 pm

I hear Casshern's been licensed state-side... I'd love to see that on a screen bigger than, oh, my PC monitor.

tammertime · Post by **tammertime** » Thu Sep 06, 2007 6:16 pm

Definately!

hikura · Post by **hikura** » Sat Sep 08, 2007 8:38 pm

I know it is to long but i am surpised no one has mentioned The Seven Samurai.I love that movie but the length is the killer.

tammertime · Post by **tammertime** » Sun Sep 09, 2007 1:11 am

See above ^ . But yes! Fantastic movie! Toshiro Mifune rox my sox...

[color:blue]Only thing that comes to mind now.. I wanna see Ringu.. I heard it's much better then the American version..oo

edit: How about Ju-On.. the Grudge.. and Ju-On2..?[/color]

tammertime · Post by **tammertime** » Wed Sep 12, 2007 1:28 am

I actually like the Ring better than Ringu, but maybe that's because Ringu is exactly the same as it's manga counterpart. Still awesome though! :thumbup:

Never heard of it.

What's it about?

ShadowWolf · Post by **ShadowWolf** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 4:10 pm

BR2? I'll have to check that out...

And yeah, some horror would be awesome. Maybe it will liven things up with a little less of just action?

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Nqac · Post by **Nqac** » Wed Sep 26, 2007 9:51 pm

No offense...but the POT Live Action Movie was not that great.

Ping Pong movie was more enjoyable. They could also show Linda, Linda, Linda or even The Waterboys :p

tammertime · Post by **tammertime** » Thu Sep 27, 2007 11:04 pm

haha. None taken! I just enjoyed seeing Ryoma and Tezuka and the gang live-action. Thinking back, I don't even think I used subs.... heh.

Jeshi-kun · Post by **Jeshi-kun** » Tue Oct 02, 2007 8:13 pm

I think a Good Idea would be the Live Action Jigoku Shoujo(Hell Girl), FUNimation Has the Rights to the Hell Girl Anime and I wouldn't be surprised if the Live action Version is Picked up soon too(By who though I don't know)

kiarrens · Post by **kiarrens** » Tue Oct 09, 2007 2:27 pm

Has anyone mentioned the live-action Death Note yet? I actually liked it better than the anime! :O Very well done, IMHO.

tammertime · Post by **tammertime** » Tue Oct 09, 2007 3:03 pm

I could have sworn it has been mentioned a few times at least. Who isn't a fan of Matsu-Ken?

a gang of thugs rob a gas station but there is no money so they take over as attendants and "work" at the station with the intention of taking all the money that customers give them... wacky hijinx ensuses

You know, I wouldn't mind seeing one of the Super Sentai series. I'm interested in seeing how Japan does it.

How about Shinobi?

Folks like Basilisk...after viewing they can argue about the creative license taken with the movie.

Definetly detective conan. Please, the only suspense right now is that whether you want to see it or not.

Azumi is another good ninja movie. Who doesn't like a hot chick with swords fighting 50 guys and a boss?

YES. Azumi is fabulous. The villain is so typically bishounen, he even carries a rose!

Shade of Grey · Post by **Shade of Grey** » Wed Nov 21, 2007 2:02 am

It's one of my favorite movies.

Other suggestions:

Battlefield Baseball... A combo of musical, (really badly dressed) zombies, SUPAH TORNADO, Inu Shiba dogs, a cyborg, and something about a high school baseball team. Sheer fun insanity.

Wild Zero: Guitar Wolf, zombies, laser guitar picks, headshots, flaming mike stands,delicious trap and ROCK N ROLL.
