Ok thanks...now do you know when the rest of these chapters are being translated?

[Ozen]

I ain't the translator, bro. I think Illuminati-Manga has an IRC channel, though, so you can ask there.

Woah! It even looks pretty good

They are done when they're done, I imagine. The translators have lives of their own and though I am not certain how they operate, doubt they are getting paid to do it so they would have to work to get a chance to keep translating, too, patience is key~

I watched it today, it was awesome movie!

[PervySageChuck]

Is it available anywhere with English subtitles?

[Sir Stranger the Second]

I believe the I Am A Hero movie is not for sale in any way, shape, or form.

 

At least, I have searched fairly extensively on merchandising and auction websites and have no indication that such a product exists or even will exist.

Freaking hell. I can't find it either. Living in the US, I take it as a given that a movie is gonna be squeezed for every penny it's got. This situation doesn't parse.

[PervySageChuck]

I appreciate your effort, but without subtitles, I can't make heads nor tails out of it.  But thanks for trying, my friend.

Loved the movie!!!

[Crazy Apple]

Indeed it was good pervysage Didn't really stray to much from the original story I saw. Just a few details.

[elixer]

Mostly spoiler-free review(?) oh yeah

 

I saw the prequel movie a few weeks ago and saw the actual movie the other day. The (actual) 2 hr long movie cuts off after the outlet mall arc, right when they have escaped and are in the car. Since those chapters came out months ago my memory is fuzzy, but I know there were some parts definitely changed. But only just 'enough', I'd say. Like for example, Hideo is a good 75% less annoying and irritating, even though they kept that aspect of the character in the movie (his nonsensical way of rationalizing and that kind of shit) they omitted some scenes, changed some (like the order of something or how an actual event occurred, and minor character design details) but I don't think there were many "new" ones. The best, least 'OH MY GOD! YOU RUINED THE MOVIE!' spoiler-like example I can give (it's from like the first 2 or 3 chapters... c'mon) for how something has changed is how when Hideo's gf became a zombie and he went to visit her. You remember? Yeah, she went all "ggogodjdflslsgivemeyourbrainslajdklaja" on him, and he cut her head off? That didn't happen in the movie. And he didn't write a murder confession. Or run into a ZQN grannie right after leaving her apartment. So we don't see him initially being "absurd" like we do in the manga, trying to reason with these zombies. He still was hesitant and in denial (?) like in the manga, but when he acted like that was inconsistent..... Maybe his inconsistency is what makes him even more so similar to his manga parallel? 

 

It was an alright movie, on the better side of the spectrum. For a manga->big screen adaption? Excellent. One of the best.  

There were some cool CGI for ZQN and their movement, and as bloody as it was, there wasn't very much gore.    I'm talking about arms barely hanging on the body by some ligaments and lots of visible torn and shredded muscle. Most of the zombies "gross" parts where the nasty eyes and some ugly cuts, besides (DISCRETE SPOILERS) jumpy and manga sex bloaty, and the first victim of jumpy had her innards pulled out. A bg character had his mandible ripped (?) or pulled down his neck, it looked like an infected bottom lip that got very stretched out and droopy. Those are the only parts I remember being "oh shit! that's fucked up!" in terms of gore, for me, personally ofc... 

 

Hiromi doesn't talk most of the movie and their most important introduction was changed and their character is also toned down by a lot. I think the production tried to compensate for taking out the part that makes you sympathize with Hiromi as a person by hiring a cute looking actor

Spoiler

This could make Hideo's.... feelings, more OR less "wtf", because we don't have a connection (?) with Hiromi. That depends on you.

 

The prequel movie is frustrating and not worth watching unless you care about a nurse and it's ~73 mins. It shows how her hospital encountered the patients who were ZQN and most of the movie is of the "found footage" variety. Which doesn't make sense to me because the outbreak happened right at that time, so who got the footage and released it? Yeah ik it's a movie but that kind of thing makes it hard to enjoy. And the characters were alright. It'd be nice if they were aware that it was a zombie outbreak and their medical teammates were dying and putting themselves at risk, instead of doing a lot of wasting time. 

 

For those wondering if this movie is kid appropriate or like me might want to show watch this with family and your children,

Spoiler

there isn't much sex type stuff going on at all. 3 mentions/insinuations total, but none had a "sexy vibe" if you would call it that. The mangaka/assistant are mentioned being together, hideo looks down hiromi's shirt (you/he just see(s) her collarbone) while she's sleeping (he says "no, no, that's illegal"), and the leader from the outlet mall tells oda "let's have sex" when he's about to turn into a zombie, then rambles on "you want me don't you. you pretend you don't like it when you do." But he's not even facing her and they were walking in the parking garage to the car and she had hiromi on her back and they were fully dressed. I'd say the movie is PG13. The japanese rating was 15. Of course, as a parent it's your discretion what you show to your children or allow them to see, so please consider wisely if your child is old enough and mature enough for any of the themes mentioned..

 

Sorry for the bad writing   as you could tell i wrote this on whim
