I was too young to see the original series when it was around. Was it really worth making a live action out of it?

For all your guessing , it might end just like live action ...

SAILOR MOON

I suspect they may be trying to cash in on the "zOMG InitiaRu Di!" craze.

I watched Speed Racer on foxtel when i was younger, it was pretty good, but not worth making a live action out of.

I watched it when it first aired here in the early 70's. I didn't think much of it, then. Not a patch on other dubbed anime to air during that decade, such as Kimba, Astroboy (the original series, not the first revival from the early 80's), Marine Boy or, most especially, Battle of the Planets.

They're starting to scrape the bottom of the nostalgia barrel now that they've wrecked all the other shows from the 60's, 70's and 80's with half-a$$ed movie adaptations.

Interesting title for DVD rent.

About all I'd recommend it for....
