Live action Ghibli; Yoko Kanno new project

From Anime UK news (Hail to Britannia!!! Sure, why not! we Americans haven’t given back Clive Anderson his colonies! We had better appease his countrymen!!!)

# A live action movie version of Grave of the Fireflies is on the way and due for a Japanese theatrical release during 2008. The classic 1988 anime film (of same name) from Studio Ghibli is acclaimed by many to be one of the finest animated movies of all time; based on Akiyuki Nosaka’s tragic novel, Grave of the Fireflies follows two young war orphans who find themselves homeless and starving during the US’s prolonged bombardment of WWII Japan.

# Legendary anime soundtrack composer Yoko Kanno will be contributing her talents to the new Macross TV series “Macross F (Macross Frontier)” .

And for some fine British sarcasm, please read the forum responses.

(Edit: Eh. all right.)

I'm a hardcore Anime Fan and I'm proud of it. I know so many things and I've acquired so much knowledge you wouldn't believe. But my love is anime. I've been drifting in this world for so long that I don't even know what an anchor means. I've seen so many shows that I've lost count. The only thing I'm sure of myself is that I care for the lowly and disenfranchised. I hate the rich and powerful and I love what I do, or what I can do. I like anime and I don't mind watching different types of shows. I have experience in different types of Japanese animation. I would be called an "expert" in a bizzaro world. One day, I'd like to start a revolution. I love the US, pizza, beer, sashimi, Chinese food, and steak. But I love freshly baked bread more than a well-aged steak. In reality, if I were born Japanese I'd be a real, hardcore Otaku. I love to love and I can hate strongly. I'm passionate in nature and I don't mind shedding tears.

    There already was a live action of “Hotaru no Haka”, just 3 years ago ! A remake of 3-years old movie ? Thats rich.
