They will write an original story that will make the plot of the Japanese movies look like cinematic gold, and I'm sure their casting choices aren't going to be much better. I was hoping someone like you would show up. >:)

Everything you have just said, is so unbelievably politically incorrect. You are one of those picky otakus, aren't you? Personally I think it would do fantastic, because for one, most American audiences are unaware what Attack on Titan is, and as far as I know, the idea of AOT will be more popular in America than it already is, and since the story is somewhat new, critics will praise it.

I know what you're thinking, "but American movies based on anime suck!", well you're basing that opinion off what happened with Dragonball: Evolution. Well things have now changed, American production companies are starting to come out with good manga/anime adaptations, an example of this would be Edge of Tomorrow, which is based on the 2004 manga series "All You Need Is Kill". Not to be mean, but I dare you to read the Manga and then watch the movie, now come back, sure, there were a few changes, but it was necessary for the film's plot, and these were pretty minor changes, don't you think so?

Basically, we know better know. Attack on Titan is one of those manga/anime series where the setting and nationalities of the characters can be changed, while the story and the characters will never be.

See, the thing is, filmmakers have to adjust the plot a little in order for it to make enough sense. The Japanese films ruined the plot for a respectable reason, the story of Attack on Titan is way too familiar to Japan, so they had to come with a new setting and plot (which somehow evolved into crap), but America does not know the story, which means we can get the faithful adaption we have been looking for. All we need is the right cast, the right team, and the right decision!

That is all. You kinda forget there was that atrocity of a movie The Last Airbender based on the animated TV Series Avatar: The Last Airbender. We all know that movie sucked 10x worse than Dragon Ball Evolution. I know Avatar TLA isn't a anime but it goes to show of how a transition of a animated series to a live-action movie does not really bode well. Wow, and I thoguht I was ignorant.

As an Avatar fan, I liked the Last Airbender, but as a movie buff, it had its fair share of disappointments. Push aside the terrible casting choices, and it tried to stay true to the plot, and I respect it for that. DBE never tried, it took one of the most legendary animes of all time, and obliterated it Godzilla 1998 style.

You need to learn that people liked that movie, and your response is hurtful and blind. Instead of blatantly hating a movie, you and everyone here should think and list the goods and the bads, to at least prove a point. Please don't get offended by everything I have said here, instead, learn your mistakes, and become even better people that you are today. First off, I am not being ignorant, because I said somwhere, I liked the casting choices because it looked pretty matching but it was the terrible-ass acting and the shitty directing that of M. Night Shamaylon. The differences that DB:E that they took the characters right but didn't use the story. Also The Last Airbender was based on the entire first season, they never took the time to develop the characters, Aang and Katara's relationship for one, and don't even show Kyoishi as that was a important subplot and they made that a deleted scene.
