Cromartie High Anyone?!

Soo yeah, I know how extremely unpopular this anime is, but I want to know if there is any other Cromatie fans? Yes? No?

It wasn't bad.  The humming episode was pretty sweet.  I hated the live action movie, though...

[kittykat1blabla]

Oh god, there was a live action movie to that? How did they pull THAT off?

[Washougal_Otaku]

Um, they had actors...?

Here's a link that talks about it.

Speaking of which...  "The name of Cromartie High School was taken from the American baseball player Warren Cromartie who was a star player in Japan for a number of years. Cromartie was unhappy that his name was being used for a school of thugs and delinquents and in 2005 filed an injunction to delay the screening of the movie. The film's director Yamaguchi was able to reach a compromise with Cromartie to allow screening of the film as long as a disclaimer was added that no real person was involved. Cromartie said he still intended bringing a civil suit."

Well, that makes a lot of sense. With the whole baseball thing they had going.

Because of this series, one of my favorite corner backs in the NFL is Antonio Cromartie.  He played for San Diego at the time, but now (unfortunately) he's a Jet.

Unfortunately I know nothing of sports myself, I'm a bit of a air head when it comes to those things. So where did you end up watching the live action? Online?

[Washougal_Otaku]

Somewhere, yeah.  An old friend of mine had a downloaded version that he showed at our anime club.  I can guess where he got it at, Pirate Bay, but that's only because I know that he likes that site.
