The attitude evident in GitS would make any adaptation by Hollywood darkly amusing and wrongminded.
The usual beef about the whitewashed casting and the weakness of hollywood adaptations I won't go into, as it's pretty evident. Even the timing is wrong. GitS is in a slump and ARISE seems to have failed to recapture the earlier adaptations' audiences, neither the film nor SAC. I just wonder if the series is still so in demand, even among the slower fanbases outside of Japan in the west. Nostalgics already expect the worst and newer fans haven't read the manga or seen the anime; who is this for?Â
Also, I never saw it myself and it's technically a light novel, but supposedly Edge of Tomorrow was a decent All You Need is Kill adaptation, and the creator liked it.Â
Other than that all I can think of is Black Swan if you believe the perhaps credible theory it was basically just a ripoff of Perfect Blue. "Adaptation," in a sense...
