I think you guys have figured out that generally speaking, I'm an optimist. As such, every Hollywood anime adaptation I hear about, I have hope could turn out well. I even had hope for the Dragon Ball movie-- of course, the hopes fell to depths so low that in fact the movie wasn't as bad as I thought it would be --but it was hope nonetheless.
 
I definitely think that Hollywood could do some really great movies based on anime and manga, especially with all the recent leanings towards more mature, dark tales. The possibility of a Hollywood movie based on Pluto (which is in turn based on Astro Boy) makes me practically giddy. 
 
Which is not to say that I think every Hollywood adaptation will be good, either. While I'm confident that the script and production of the upcoming Cowboy Bebop movie will be awesome, I'm still with many of you on the fence about whether Keanu Reeves will be able to pull it off.
 
There are definitely a few franchises that I'm pretty sure Hollywood would never even consider touching, by the way, but there are also a few I'd really be interested in seeing them handle-- almost anything by Naoki Urasawa, for example, and I'd be interested in seeing what a Black Jack movie was like (although I'm wondering whether it'd be too similar to House in its ways for anyone to invest in it?).
