Remakes of Varying Quality
Japanese media have no shortage of remakes and today’s two reviews show that despite having a prior TV show or movie to work off of, there’s no assurance that the remake can live up to the first incarnation’s success. Such is the case with Time Traveller, a live-action movie which AC felt fell way short of the Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo anime. On the flip side, MK was quite pleased with how well Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood turned out.
On a slight tangent, if you haven’t noticed, our staff blog has been brimming with activity over the last few days. We’re experiencing a blogging Renaissance of sorts; how long it’ll last is anyone’s guess, but do check out some of our recent entries!
