Another comic adaptation making it to the screen

I do notice a lack of habits in this, though. And an excess of guns. And a shoe-horned in 'Chosen One' angle for the protagonist. I'm starting to think this won't be much like the source material at all.

Of course, there are parts of the original comic that I don't think would ever make it into a live-action version:



The original Warrior Nun Areala was so drenched in over-the-top 90s anime gore and violence that I doubt anything short of a cartoon version would be able to do true justice to its ludicrosity. I doubt we'll even get any Nazi cyborgs or eyeball-nippled demons...

I used to like Nina High School and Warrior Nun...
in the '90s
when I was a teen.
Good grief.

I don’t know, this looks and sounds like cheesy fun. Mind you, I was unaware of Warrior Nun until this very post, so I could be wrong,

The good grief was more me realizing how long it's been.
And remembering I have Warrior Nun and Shotgun Mary action figures on my basement wall from ages ago.

... I will give them points for the "Fucks given? Nun" joke.

Lol I wish somebody made an adult animated series out of it.

"Holy rosary attack!" A little Robin-esque, there.
