thecastmaker Look, if you haven't thought of a director to take over the project, I thought of two suggestions: Takashi Miike (who has a lot of experience in live action adaptations of anime and manga) or Shinya Tsukamoto (known for his body horror productions and a pioneer in the movement Cyberpunk in Japan).

- nathanbates @thecastmaker both would be cool. You can go ahead and suggest them both if you like. Gotta upvote a rare Shinya Tsukamoto mention on this site.
