Who?

Okay Black Swan was very similar to Perfect Blue
The same can't be said about Inception and Paprika

>>79150102 (OP)
Paprika is nothing like Inception, and Inception is a better movie.

Hollywood will never stop stealing other peoples concepts.

>>79150282
The inspiration for Inception came from Paprika.
Like how GitS inspired The Matrix.

>>79150316
> Inception is a better movie.
Debatable.

>>79150424
Paprika is mediocre. It's the worst Kon's movie. Inception is good.

Disagreed.

The Lion King is better than Kimba. We need more rip-offs like that.

>>79150316
bro, Christopher Nolan himself said Paprika was an influence for Inception.

Naruto is best manga and anime. It's got amazing voice actors.

I work in the entertainment business, influence or inspiration almost always means "I ripped off large portions of it but don't want to be sued for copyright infringement or looked poorly upon by people with money who may buy my product."

I remember reading an article about that. The writer was trying desperately to say "GUYS IT'S SIMILAR, SO NOLAN TOOK INSPIRATION FROM IT. HE NEVER SAID SO, BUT IT'S SOOO SIMILAR"

>>79150744
entertainment industry =/= art.
It's a cut throat business of greedy hand-wringing Jews, exactly as it's always displayed.

Paprika was a huge clusterfuck while Inception was actually an enjoyable movie.

Japanese don't get mad about other people improving on their ideas, why do you?

>>79150818
Inception was boring and rather pretentious.

They're great stories but normals would never believe it because they're cartoons so it's good they get normal versions of them.

>>79150842
There was nothing pretentious about Inception.

I'd like how people would react to a hollywood version of SAO

>>79150807
>entertainment industry =/= art.
And this is actually a view of art.

I watched Paprika yesterday and I was disappointed it didn't really explore the morality behind the dream intrusion. Evil guy said he wants to protect dreams and then he became corrupted. Rest is just style over substance.

You know what would be good?
A live action Ghost in the Shell movie with a Avatar level budget.

>>79150842
Better than Paprika.

>>79150644

what the fuck man, pick one

>>79150902
That wouldn't be good at all.

Darren Arrenofsky is a great director and also paid tribute to Perfect Blue in Requiem for a Dream. He actually has owned the right to a Perfect Blue live action adaptation for a long time.

>>79150915
Not really, they're both over rated crap.

The Cell was a trippier movie, it was also crap though too.

>>79150930
It would if Michael Bay did it.

The director of Black Swan admitted he looks up to Satoshi Kon and got inspired by his work.

But people who saw the movie and loved it will always pray its director for everything, and I doubt Americans would ever admit they got something from Japan.

Avant garde, contemporary work of genius depicting today's gamer societies in a setting where the game plays you in a lethal race to the top.
Features an aweinspiring, timeless love story reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet

WTF man ?! Inception was taken from a Donald Duck comic

>>79150316
Since when has 2 hours of explaining bullshit and 30 minutes of average Hollywood action ever qualified a film as "good"?

I thought Hunger Games was pretty much like Battle Royale

But when will Japan start taking influence from us and use impure whores and casual sex in their anime?

>>79151230
Gamer was a pretty okay movie.
Shitty predictable ending though.

Bet on /a/ to hate everything that's remotely popular with the normals for completely superficial reasons

Bleach is getting a live action adaption, so there's that.

>>79152114
You said:
>Blame teenagers who only know about western cartoons.

Most of us grew up watching western cartoons, I don't really understand what makes "new teenagers" any different.

>>79152196
But that's exactly why Bleach and Naruto etc. anime are entry level anime of worst kind.

Hey Arnold has done slice of life better than any Japanese cartoon.

>>79152196
The difference is that we've seen tons of anime. Kids that don't know anime and only think of western cartoons as being for children are bound to think Bleach and Naruto, which have tons of violence and actual bloodshed are something fucking great. I mean, even in action centric western shows, there's never any blood.

>>79151543
As long as he's not responsible for the script, it could be great. The man's a competent director, but good lord, Avatar was an idea he was sitting on for a DECADE and it may as well have been plucked from hollywood's bargain bin of schlocky sci fi scripts.

Because they aren't shown on Adult Swim.

He cited overseas anime sales. Manga sales are in the realms of 80 mill.
1,8 mill is a figure I've never heard of before, though it is common knowledge that Bleach practically runs the Adultswim timeslot.
