Tiffanys:
We should make a petition to rename Aggregate Rhodochrosite to Baconite.

I actually thought that was bacon until I read the sentence above the pictures. Spent a good number of seconds trying to figure out why there were pictures of bacon in this thread :P

Additionally, I know if Hollywood is adapting it, it will be adapted through a western lens, with western values. That means gore will not be a problem and nudity will not be preferred.
You're assuming it will fail because the adaptation cannot be exactly like the anime/manga. I think that's a pretty silly position to take, and unfortunately, the typical position of "fanboys" [sorry, can't think of a better term atm].

I agree with this.

Oldboy (the Korean one) and Usagi Drop.
Yeah, neither is Hollywood, but to the best of my knowledge there are only 2 Hollywood films based on manga so far: Dragonball and Oldboy (the American one). They were both terrible, but with that small a sample to go on, any assumptions you make are invalid.

I actually liked the Avatar movie, albeit that's not technically an anime. I think it stood well on its own even though I'd have some pretty serious gripes with it not being true to the original had I seen the original first.

I didn't watch the original series before watching Avatar the last airbender and I liked it back then, but then I watched some of the series and thought about the movie, that sucks.
I seen Oldboy american and then I seen the Korean one, huge difference.
I didn't see Usagi Drop.
Is it good ? and does it cover the entire manga ? or it locks out the rest of the manga which many people didn't like ?
I think it was the right call to stop the anime where it ended.
