Well, it's official — Netflix's live-action remake of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" paid off (for the company at least). Avatar Aang (Gordon Cormier) will get to continue mastering the elements, now that "Avatar" has been renewed for seasons 2 and 3.
"Avatar" is just the latest anime that Netflix has brought to live-action. On this spectrum, "Avatar" falls below the well-received "One Piece" remake but ahead of the swiftly-canned live-action "Cowboy Bebop" (that even original series creator Shinichirō Watanabe couldn't finish).
Netflix hasn't stopped there. The streamer is letting "Stranger Things" creators the Duffer Brothers take a crack at "Death Note" and has had a live-action "Gundam" movie in development since 2021. Other studios are getting into anime properties as well: Lionsgate has recruited "Shang-Chi" director Destin Daniel Cretton to adapt "Naruto" into a live-action movie.

Based on the ongoing, homonymous manga by Rei Hiroe that has sold over 8.5 million copies as of January 2022, “Black Lagoon” is one of the greatest action titles ever to come out of the anime industry, particularly due to its unique characters.

When Okajima Rokuro, a salaryman, visits Southeast Asia carrying a top secret disk, he is kidnapped by pirates riding in a torpedo boat. Although he thought he would be rescued soon, the company actually abandons him, and sends mercenaries to retrieve the secret disk. He narrowly escapes with his life, but has nowhere to go. He gives up his name and past, and resolves to live as a member of the Black Lagoon, a team of pirate mercenaries who smuggle goods in and around the seas of Southeast Asia in the early to mid 1990s. The Lagoon Company consists of three members: Dutch,...

Stretch, L.G., Left, Leatherface, Drayton, Grandpa and Chop Top have all be realized in a Manga-style comic that was brought to my attention this week. Thanks to our pal Jacob for tossing a Imgur link our way to a handful of pages to a Manga inspired by Tobe Hooper's The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Part 2. Apparently, these are samplings from a "doujin artbook" by Rei Hiroe that have been lurking on the Internet. I've never seen them before, but I love the character mock-ups.

Last week saw the release of Disney’s blockbuster John Carter for our small screens, alongside the long-awaited release of Kenneth Lonergan’s Margaret – you can read Jon’s review of the DVD here.
This week’s list is fairly short but sweet, with some of the finest films released in the first quarter of the year.
My picks of the week:
Oren Moverman’s Rampart & Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s 21 Jump Street.
Rampart Iframe Embed for Youtube
DVD and Blu-ray
(also available: HMV Exclusive – Blu-ray Double Play inc. DVD)
Oren Moverman returns with his second feature after 2009’s Oscar-nominated The Messenger, with Woody Harrelson taking the lead this time around, and Ben Foster heading up the support alongside Ice Cube, Anne Heche, Ned Beatty, Brie Larson, Cynthia Nixon, Robin Wright, Sigourney Weaver, and Steve Buscemi – a fantastic cast, I’m sure you’ll agree.

As already reported last year, the third season of the anime adaptation of Rei Hiroe’s Black Lagoon will not be adapted into another TV season but rather Ova episodes by Studio Madhouse and director Sunao Katabuchi. Now it has been announced that the first of five volumes of Roberta’s Blood Trail will be released in Japan on DVD and Blu-ray Disc in Japan on July 17th…most probably without English subitles like Geneon Entertainment’s recent Japanese Blu-ray Disc releases of the first two seasons.
