Many thought Netflix had closed the book for good on its Americanized adaptation of the anime/manga phenomenon, but it looks like they were wrong.
Live action
When the actors look like they just stepped out of an anime, things are off to a good start.
Legendary Entertainment is ready to roll the dice on adapting the biggest anime mecha series of all time for the overseas live-action movie market.
How does one turn a nearly 70-episode anime into a movie? The answer is you can’t. No one can.
The trailer finally gives us a glimpse of the supporting cast as well as that famous nurse’s office kiss scene.
Actor joins cast of in-production film from Legendary Entertainment based on already-forgotten footnote to smash-hit Pokémon franchise.
It’s story may be one of redemption, but the film adaptations of the hit anime/manga aren’t being cut any slack.
Original creator of anime/manga hit hopes to please veteran fans and franchise newcomers alike.
Makoto Shinkai’s anime is unabashedly emotional, but the director sounds like a detached dad when discussing his mega-hit baby’s next step.
Paramount Pictures thinks “blue mammal with one giant eyeball who runs really fast” is a fine foundation for a live-action movie.
Lead roles already cast for adaptation of one of anime’s most famous “teens with crushes on each other live in the same house” franchises.
It’s unavoidable at this point, all of our favorite and most popular anime series are destined to become live-action productions.
Surprise announcement comes at 20th anniversary celebration of pirate manga, as producer hopes to make “most expensive TV series ever produced.”
