City Hunter (movie) (Stars Jackie Chan!)
Crying Freeman (movie)
Cutie Honey (movie)

The original 'The Ring' was based on a manga called 'Ringu'. Fun facts, eh?

And yes, everyone knows about the Eva movie... Which they're going to screw up the ass.... They named Misato Susan Whitnall for christ's sakes! And they renamed Asuka Kate Rose!!! WTFF??? (what the flying F***).

I foresee a LOCK approaching...

Please, no bitching about the Eva movie yet. In regards to the name issues, I remember hearing that those names on the sketches were the names of costume designers working on the project, so it's possible that they artists just smacked their names on the sketches for the time being.

There will be a live action Eva...that has been established...so we can drop it now, right?
