this argument is literally the equivalent to some 14 year old ritalin'd up music stan going ''IF U DON'T LIKE IT DON'T LISTEN TO IT DEHHH'' in the youtube comments of their favorite band, stuff shouldn't suddenly magically be exempt from criticism or whatever. There's a pretty consistent and clear pattern of Westerners trying to adapt or remake asian properties in live-action formats while entirely missing the point of the original, adding a ton of unnecessary changes and clearly just not doing it as a labor of love but because a boardroom full of suits has decided it must be so - that shit already dates back to that one live-action DBZ adaptation that was made years ago, that new Ghost in the Shell, Death Note, that Oldboy adaptation that came out somewhere in the last couple years, etc.
People totally are and totally should be allowed to be unhappy when something they like is taken and essentially fucked up by people who have no understanding of it. Of course the originals will always continue to exist, and nobody is barring anyone from watching those, but considering how close-minded many average Westerners still are when it comes to watching anything in a foreign language with subtitles or whatever, it's going to be a given that people are gonna latch on to the westernized remake, and it's gonna be pushed down people's throats until the hype dies down
Hey guys, I found a table of connections (from an old Cure issue, vol. 12, 2004 ) that includes some of the biggest labels which existed during the "golden age" of vk.
There's also a list with some of the most important bands of said labels next to it plus a timeline of the bands on the other side.
I find it pretty cool so I thought you guys might be interested in seeing it too! (sorry for the lame pictures but I couldn't scan the document cause it's a weird format and it won't fit in my scanner).
