Lupin the third new TV series will start on April. Fujiko Mine is the main character of the new series and Lupin 40 years site up key visual. Hmm as old Lupin fan, I like they are back to adult mood, Lupin should not be animation for kids. I see the site after long time interval. then I enjoy the ranking page, No1 is Episode 4(I am talking about series 1. Lupin means series one for me. ); One chance to Breakout. You can see them all in this site with English Sub. great internet!
We have a research, many manga fans are not pleased to "the news manga is made into real film". Death Note, BECK, KAIJI, etc,. basically we can read on the Internet no good reputation about those . Nodame and Hachikuro had good reivews so maybe drama story would be okay.
This year, another popular manga made into film and they will be released soon.
One is Thermae Romae, The story is Roman architect found a hidden spa which is time tunnel to modern Japanese public bath and he inspired by it and create new idea in his own spa in Roma. It"s very funny. Here is a trailer, Roman guy is Hiroshi Abe. Nothing wrong he acts like Roman. he he he.
Another one is Uchu Kyodai. it's drama who dreamed to be an astronaut. Younger brother made it but older one lost his job and lied down. But one day he got an old tape from his younger brother and he heard what they promised long time ago.
Both manga were nominated to Manga taisho a few times and Terumae Romae won once.
But biggest news would be BLEACH. It goes Hollywood and Mashi Oka will be a producer of this movie. we are not sure yet even who will direct the movie.
International Film festival The Berlinale was held and animation movie "The great rabbit" got a silver bear award. The great rabbit is a French movie but it's directed by Japanese director Atsushi Wada. Here is the trailer, but I can't uderstand well.
Here is another his movie, but I can't understand this too, maybe I don't this type of arts.
For me this is much better and interesting, art school students's animation. It's pretty good idea.
Capcom game Ace Attorney, known in japan as Gyakuten Saiban (逆転裁判, lit. "Turnabout Trial") is made into the film. Since the Naru The game takes place in an urban city set in 2016 and later; for the Japanese versions, this city is somewhere in Japan, while the North American and European localization places the games in LA California. Here is a trailer. Crazy and funny.
GOLGO13 will make into real film. It's the longest running mange still publication, Main character is Duke Togo, he is a professional hitman, there is no impossible case for him. The original character written and illustrated by Takao Saito buy stories are written by different writer so, poplitics, diplomacy, war, crime, technology, arts, various type of things can be topic of manga, that "s why it can be running for such long. Japanese make jokes "It"s GOLGO's job" when we see some mysterious case, even on house racing result (Duke hit slightly runnning horse nose and change the order etc,.) Takao Saito says the model of Duku is actor Ken Takakura. So I wonder who play GOLGO13.
