The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Warner Brothers “is in the process of securing the rights to” Tite Kubo’s Bleach manga. Director, Peter Segal (Anger Management, The Longest Yard, Get Smart) is lining up to produce, but not direct the live-action film.

For those not familiar with Bleach, although its popularity would bet that majority of the anime community has watched or read the story, or at least knows the general plot, follows fifteen year old Ichigo Kurosaki who becomes a Soul Reaper (Shinigami or God of Death) who protects humans from enemies known as “Hollows,” spirits that prey on mankind. Bleach’s fame is noted by its run in Weekly Shonen Jump in Japan, the anime adaptation by Studio Pierrot, as well as the North American showings of the dubbed episodes by Adult Swim in the United States and Canada’s YTV.

As reported last summer, Warner Bros. already has acquired the rights to adapt Tsugumi Ohba’s and Takeshi Obata’s Death Note, Yoshiaki Kawajiri’s Ninja Scroll and Katsuhiro Otomo’s Akira.

I don’t know what other any fans think of this, but I’m starting to get pretty annoyed with American film companies gobbling up the rights to Japanese anime and then not doing anything with them. I watch anime, partially because it’s a cartoon, not a two hour movie. It’s a series, multiple episodes that allow a long, compelling story to take place, whereas trying to tell any story arc from Bleach in one movie just won’t work. Better yet, anime is beautiful; art colored and brought to life, keeping the essence of the original product, which a movie does not do when casting living people.

Live-action versions of anime, more often than not, frustrate me. I enjoyed the Japanese Death Note movies, I did, but they weren’t astounding. Hollywood is just going to pump a bloated budget into a mediocre adaptation of an entire series and attach some questionable guys in the industry to the project and let loose. While, yes, Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company is involved with Ninja Scrolls and he is certainly a man to trust when it comes to movies, but Peter Segal, really? The guy who worked on Anger Management is going to successfully produce an American live-action version of Bleach? Somehow I just don’t see that happening.

What’s even more frustrating is that none of these movies are even in pre-production! How annoying! What do all of you think of this situation?
