Twilight the anime?

Given that reading Twilight was the same type of experience I had watching stuff like Cromartie High, Excel Saga and Bobobo... I'd love to see that sort of take on Twilight- matching Meyer's description of Edward as a hybrid of Gollum, glitter glue and Michelangelo's David. Maybe they could even bring in a Frankenstein so you get the complete Universal Monsters set.
 
Except the two stories are nothing alike.

Like, at all. Hence my confusion. That and Harry Potter is actually of quality, but that's a different point entirely.
 
Since when have advertisers know the material itself? They see magic and werewolves and go "Wasn't there a werewolf in Harry Potter? I THINK THERE WAS!!!"
 
She's anti-premarital sex, which is completely different from being anti-sex period. After all,
in Breaking Dawn, Edward and Bella get married and do have sex. The sex scene itself isn't written - keep in mind this story is aimed at tween/teen girls, after all - but there's no hiding the fact they had sex. It's heavily referenced and Bella even gets pregnant.
So I wouldn't say she's anti-sex period.

Besides, if Twilight does become an anime - and that's a big IF - it's not going to be aimed at the crowd looking for the fanservice you seem to be condemning it for not having - same as the books. Keep in mind the demographic. I'm closer to the demographic than most people posting in this thread and I can honestly say I'm not interested in the kind of fanservice you want. Besides, something doesn't need fanservice to be good. That's just silly.
 
Screw this, make a Heroes anime. They'd make better storylines and imagine how much more awesome the Peter V.S Sylar fights would be
Seriously, no why?
Crazy, I mean wasn't Harry Potter more popular than Twilight?
 
Hopefully it won't happen. There's enough "Alcuard kills Twilight vampires because they sparkle" fanart as it is.

Although a scene with Edward getting killed to kick off the next Hellsing OVA would be quite nice.
 
I think J.K. Rowling has more dignity to avoid going license-crazy than Stephenie Meyer, though (she was very specific about what she wanted from WB and criticized a lot of the "mistakes" they made or almost made).

I wonder if it wouldn't be out of the question for an Animatrix/Gotham Knight-style omnibus of HP-related stories to go to DVD around the same time as the Deathly Hallows movies (I can imagine a short about Durabledore and Grindelwald, a short about the Order, a short from a Voldemort/Death Eater perspective, a parody short in the style of the Avatar chibis, etc.).
 
She discussed studying mythology in her speech at Harvard.

As for the article you found, it doesn't say she hates fantasy, just that she isn't a fan of the genre. It's possible for her to respect it without being a big fan of it. As I said, she likes Lewis and Pullman, and if I recall correctly she likes Neil Gaiman as well. The "an idealised, romanticised, pseudofeudal world, where knights and ladies morris-dance to Greensleeves" line sounRAB like it was poor writing on behalf of Time Magazine rather than a quote from Rowling.

To be totally fair, I think anybody who jumped from living on the streets to the most successful author in the world would gain something of an ego, and I'd say that her ego is evened out by all the charitable good deeRAB she's done.

I do like the Harry Potter series (there's only one potential plothole I can think of at the moment from the series, and it's probably one that Rowling has thought up some sort of explanation for if asked about, given how well she's thought up that whole world), but that's beside the point. Even if the books were terrible, it'd be hard to hate J.K. Rowling as a person. Contrast her to, say, Orson Scott Card or H.P. Lovecraft: both very tallented writers but rather loathesome as human beings. Rowling's a good human being as well as IMO (as well as that of many others) a good writer.
 
NO
NO
NO
NO
NOOOOO

Why hast thou forsaken me? ): Why don't people read some real vampire novels like I Am Legend (book=/= movie) or the original Dracula? Somebody stop the Twilight madness. *bangs head against wall*
 
Rowling is kooky. I remeraber she made a blog post that she's packing her bags and her children before her new book is released. Hilarious.
 
That's a simple joke about avoiding mobs of fanboys and fangirls. To suggest otherwise is to read too much into it.

It's off topic anyway. We're here to discuss the mass horribleness of Twilight, and how we all hope that the first act starts with say...Blade killing off all the sparkly vampires and it enRAB up being a Blade OVA Marvel commissioned.
