Original Anime is better

Is it only me that think Hollywood make Anime into a crap.
I am a fan of "Ghost on the Shell 攻殻機動隊" anime ... but not a live action movie. Besides, Hollywood likes to change the story to make it simpler.

    Why do Japanese do not like number 4?

    No 4th Floor
    Number 4
    Death
    You have heard "4" is not a good number is Japan.

    Here is the season why.

    4 is pronounced "Yon" or "Shi"

    死 (Kanji Word for "Death") is also pronounced "Shi"

    This is the reason why some of the buildings (specially a hospital building) in Japan, do not have 4th floor.
