Questions re Manga-based Japanese Live Action Films

[Christophe Thouny]

Having an interminable thread on this topic is in itself revealing of  
the increasing re-sampling re-mixing of manga-anime culture in-by- 
with film  production (although tokusatsu have been around for a  
while). Another side-thread  might be the increasing (?) use of manga- 
anime expressions (hyôgen) in movies not directly based on a manga.  
And more generally to what I see as a dissemination/'deotakuization'  
of manga-anime culture in Japan (but not only) with anime now aiming  
at non-otaku (understand anybody watching TV) such as Gundam Seed.  
Any thought on this?
