Warner Brothers is already in the business of adapting Japanese manga into live-action feature films having acquired the rights to Katsuhiro Otomo’s cherished Akira, and possibly even hiring the Hughes Brothers to direct (Read: The Hughes Brothers To Direct Two-Part Live-Action ‘Akira’ Movie). But the studio isn’t stopping there; it’s being reported that WB is currently working to obtain the rights to Bleach.

The manga, which is written and illustrated by Tite Kubo, revolves around a teenage boy named Ichigo Kurosaki who can see ghosts and one day accidentally obtains the abilities of a Soul Reaper (the Japanese personification of death, much like the Grim Reaper). With these new found abilities — similar to our own superhero stories — he must learn how to use them, protect the innocent from evil spirits known as Hollows, and guide spirits safely to the other side.

If you’re not familiar with the manga, then you’ve probably still seen Bleach in episodic TV fashion. The series airs often on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim in the darkness hours.

Peter Segal and Michael Ewing will produce the title along with Viz Media, who released the books in English in the United States. Segal has directed quite a few well-known movies in the completely opposite comedy genre, such as Tommy Boy, Adam Sandler’s Anger Management, 50 First Dates, and The Longest Yard, as well as the recent Steve Carell remake of Get Smart. Segal will not be directing this film, however, he is simply producing.

In keeping up with Warner Bros., DreamWorks also has a live-action manga adaptation of Ghost in the Shell currently in the works.

We have Dragonball, Last Airbender (releasing soon) and now we are having Bleach and Ghost in the Shell. I wonder whether it'll turn out as good as the anime (at least bleach was once superb, now too but less). Of course I don't expect them to squeeze everything into 1 or 2 movies but hopefully it will be a decent anime-movie adaptation. Though many people will be saying how bad it's gonna be or whatsoever, i'm still looking forward to it. Be it nice or no, still worth a try..haha

Watched xxxHolic for the first time, it was nice. Really nice! Though it's a bit weird from time to time and the story might be a lil bit confusing but somehow it's still one of the best anime around. The story in anime is incomplete thou, have to follow up from manga but don't feel like it, i prefer the happy ending for now (manga ends in a sad way, lol). Basically, it's a bout a boy name Watanuki whos fate is tied to a witch - Yuuko (she's really nice, for a witch!)(She owns a wish-granting shop where she can grant you anything for a price, a price of equal value, no more no lessss.....) Favourite quote from her "there is no such thing as coincidence, all there is to this world is inevitable". That's for the 1st episode at least, haha. From there on, watch yourself, lol.
