I'm still awaiting the release of Zu Warriors in the US... I've seen some of the special effects, and it honestly looks like a live action anime. The special effects, just in the few clips I have seen, blow the Matrix off the map. I cannot say if it is really good or not, since I haven't seen the whole thing, but the story line definitely has me interested. Besides... I've seen some really poorly drawn anime (Drag-on Ball Z springs to mind). A good story is a good story, regardless of medium. I think Ringu (I'm not talking about the cheezy Hollywood remake) was extremely effective as a live action movie, and wouldn't have been as good as an anime. True art transcends medium.
Never underestimate the inventiveness of human beings.
