One of our fine trade papers reports that the comic and anime Bleach has been grabbed by Warner Bros. for a full-bore, live action feature ...

Blecch.
There's already a section of the public loosing their s--t for a second time over this.
If only filmmakers could see that these stories from Japan are so loved by American youth because of their very Japanese-ness. No doubt it will be taken out of context and ruined anyway, probably with all white actors and a US backdrop.
Bleach was one of the first Anime I've followed in my later days. While I feel its taken several leaps over several sharks, I keep coming back for more.
I'm intrigued to see what WB will do with this.
At least you enjoy it Steve!
