Actually the producer already mentioned in his latest diary entry that they'll upload pictures and videos of the fans meeting in the official site soon^^MangaMistrezz wrote:Hmmm...I'm gonna do that. I wanna request they put up the video with the fan meeting and the Ouran movie announcement. I really wanna watch it badly- based on the interview, it's sounds fun! I'll get my japanese friend to translate it for me.
As far as I know, TBS will be producing the movie, just as the drama. Sony Pictures will only be playing the role as a film distributor.MangaMistrezz wrote:The movie is being made by Sony Pictures Entertainment, right?
MangaMistrezz wrote:Also, if there is a really popular drama, they would actually send the actors from their country to come visit here
Oh yes, I remember Nodame Cantabile cast came to Hongkong to promote the movies. If I'm not mistaken, GANTZ leading actors also attended the Comic Con in the US? If Ouran become a success, I'm sure it'll happen the same. Our task is to spread the Ouran virus to everyone around us, to make sure Ouran can be internationally success XD
The Japanese fans talked about us from time to time, actually Another mention I remember was,Nipples Admin wrote:I just wanted to quote you because I was glad to see even Japanese fans noticing our influx of English messages! Nice to see everyone's efforts being recognized.
"This manga has so many foreign fans, I actually think there's more foreign fans than Japanese fans of this manga. I saw the foreigners fans on the official homepage asking them to make sequels."
"Sou, sou. I saw fans from England, America, France, Indonesia, China, Korea, Taiwan! Seem like the drama has good reputation as well, among them."
However, there was once also Japanese fans who got upset, accidentally saw the bashings from foreigners... T_T I think they were saying something like,
"Since the anime is so popular among foreigners, seem like they're upset about this drama. I saw many comments saying that Asians shouldn't be playing anime characters. But somehow there's no complains about Haruhi..."
"Really? From what I've seen, seem like they give quite positive comments so far, just like the Japanese,"
"And yet they messed up Dragon Ball, look who's talking. Since the anime characters are suppose to be Asians, what's so wrong about Asians playing the characters??"
Some people with negative comments have really smeared our faces, eh??
Oh well... I don't like talking abt haters, so I'll stop here.
I think you should!!^o^ But we better wait up... I mean, they haven't even start shooting the movie scenes yet XDNipples Admin wrote:I checked the Funimation site and found out that they do license some live action films. If you go to this page: http://www.funimation.com/shows and scroll down to "All Shows", there is a "live action" section under genre. One of them is a movie based off of a manga/anime that they have dubbed before (Mushi-Shi). Should we try contacting them to release Ouran in the US?
Perhaps, we can start the "Ouran Movie Goes International" project, 3 months before the movie premiere in Japan... like in December?
But I don't know... I really hope someone here knows the film distributor industry well, so we'd clearly know what to do here XD I'm quite clueless about this stuff.
