When you sya animation do you mean like the crappy disney movies?

I think it should be done up like anime. It'd be really difficult to show some scenes because current law forbids some of it. and if you are going to be that true to the books, it'll have an 18 or X rating.

No, the only way i think it could be pulled of is through anime. get some of hte top names in anime and have them make it. like the creator of GitS and Ninja Scroll(if they aren't the same ppl :P) This way, you can everything that is in the book in the movies

But it would be neat to see a live action of it
