Is it the first time that a western comic book is adapted to anime?

Rob7 said:
Being a bit specifical: ANIME (not a manga) adaptation from AMERICAN (US) comics (not french etc)... still it comes after Witchblade, for example.

Know something really unprecedented?

- An ANIME
- adapted
- from
- KOREAN manhwa

old east asian issues prevents that

By the way, anyone who's watched the whole thing can say if it's any good? I have a feeling it's gonna take a while before any reviews are posted.

Yes it is anime. It’s on MAL

MindOfOsaka said:


Meh. Black dude wrote it and a white lady helped scripting. It went through Kickstarter first and then they just hired a Japanese studio to do the animation. Like a ton of productions from America.

Yemi_Hikari said:


Yes. The original source material is a Western source material. If Western source materials weren't allowed than Studio Ghibli's Arriety also doesn't count as Anime.

The fact a white person helped with the script doesn't mean the original script wasn't in Japanese nor does the fact she's white mean she can't write scripts in Japanese. For all we know she was simply in charge of writing the script for the English dub. This also ignores the fact there are now a few non-Japanese working at the Japanese studios, so should those Anime get nixed because of that?

The original audio is in Japanese, but the English subtitles are for the Japanese audio, but the closed captioning is for the Japanese version and not the English version. Even the credits are in Japanese and not English. So no, not like a ton of productions from America.

Carole and Tuesday would be less of an anime since the singing voice for Tuesday is half white and half Japanese.

I think it's trash. Boring uninspiring trash. Zero backstory, zero character development, and plot is stupid as it gets. Great art tho, but that's about it

like someone else said, copy of Trigun, and cowboy bebop. The first thing I thought of was Trigun when I started watching it.

MasterHavik said:
I am gonna guess you didn't watch the show but eh it is your opinion.

Nice two year old account you got there with 43 posts.

There is a difference between actually copying another series and taking influence instead. Trigun and Cowboy Bebop aren't the only series from which Canon Busters draws inspiration. Afro Samurai, Samurai Champloo are other Eastern series, but Boondocks is a Western one.

Well you guess wrong. It's garbage

Sorakaa said:


afro samurai? How are they the same. it wasn't anything alike

MasterHavik said:
[ As someone who has seen Trigun and Cowboy Bebop a number of times just because the main character has an afro and a gun doesn't make them a copy. Are fans stupid or lazy when they use the word copy? I know what actual copies look like and this ain't one chief.

As far as Western comics getting made into anime, there have been a number of anime adaptations I can recall. Obviously, there are the Marvel TV anime (Blade, Iron Man, X-Men, and Wolverine) and movies (Iron Man: Rise of Technovore and Avengers) made by Madhouse earlier in the decade. Others coming to mind:

-Batman: Gotham Knight
-Ninja Batman
-Dracula: Sovereign of the Damned
-Witchblade
-Marvel Disc Wars: The Avengers
-Cybersix

Anime adaptations of western source materials are fairly common, so I would assume not. There are even anime of The Diary of Anne Frank and Les Misérables.

This actually makes me want to watch it,if only to see how bad I think it is. Since you know, personal opinions and such.

AllMightY said:
it's an anime. Castlevania ain't anime since was made by a US studio even if it's from a Japanese mind?....your logic is stupid.

Yemi_Hikari said:
Neo Yukio is also not an Anime because the only work done in Japan was the Animation whereas with Canon Busters the audio and such are done in Japan. I don't know whose worse, those who insist they know what good Anime is because they're fans of AtLA and think it is an Anime simply because the animation was done in Japan or those who want to nix anything not targeted at a Japanese target audience specifically. That doesn't work with the world wide simulcasts which now happen, or should we say the new Fruit Basket isn't Anime because it wasn't intended just for a Japanese audience on release.

Lukeybookey said:


Hi just wanna chime in to correct you on the AtLA thing. Most of the animation was actually done by 3 studios in South Korea: JM Animation, DR Movie, and MOI Animation. In fact a lot of animated shows from America have their animation mostly done in South Korea. The more you know -^_^-
