• Sean is an extremely talented writer and producer. On top of that, he’s one of the good guys. He will do a great job and I can guarantee you that this show will be unique and very creative.

• If Sean is such an extremely talented writer and producer then why did Nip/Tuck start to suck so much after the first 3 seasons?

• Noir TV adaption is going to be a huge trainwreck. Plot is butchered beyond recognition, they can’t seem to find actors for the main roles and people are quitting, now even the showrunner!

• I have doubts that this is anything more than jive, I don’t see why they would do a live action about an anime as obscure as Noir. Noir is one of my favorite animes though, so I really hope this show comes to pass.

• “[G]oing to be a huge train[-]wreck” says it all. If the plot is entirely redone, why even bother doing an “adaptation” if the only thing it retains is the name; which will likely have some pointless subtitle added to it. At one time I thought anime adaptations were good, even if they were failures, because it at-least brought attention to the original work; however, after so many simply awful adaptations I just want it to end. When will Americans realize that if it’s worth doing an adaptation for, then all that need be done is maintain the original characters and story to the highest extent possible. If the plot actually is as described on the web, then obviously it has been completely adapted based on such ideas as “the relationship between the original lead characters may be too confusing or distasteful to the American audience” and/or “the 1960′s is a better climate based on what political topics are popular at the moment”. Stop making the claims that these things are adaptations and giving the original works bad reputations. Although I must digress that I remain very interested to see how this pans out, considering this is the first television adaptation of an anime series; I’m simply not thrilled about the possibility of a scriptwriter destroying a series to suite their personal and corporate agenda, but business is a business.
