City Hunter was released on 25 April 2024, it is a live-action adaption of the anime, of the same name, just like the anime fans loved the movie as well and fans are waiting for part 2 of the movie.
Yet another beloved anime/manga coming to life on Netflix – anime fans would be over the moon about this creation!
This time, the adaptation is coming from the home of Japan in terms of live-action fun. For a long time, live-action adaptations of anime/manga stories haven’t been very popular or well-received and Netflix has been pretty guilty of that. Some of the examples include Cowboy Bebop and Death Note.
However, Netflix had seemingly struck gold with One Piece, which proved to be its worth – with a second version being warranted thanks to the debut season’s great success.

"Futurama" is no stranger to out-there stories, but sometimes, even this show needs an excuse to break the rules. That's where the anthology episodes come in: installments featuring three seven-or-so-minute-long themed segments where the status quo of the show doesn't apply.
"Futurama" inherited this formula from co-creator Matt Groening's previous series, "The Simpsons." However, "The Simpsons" developed a consistent formula for its anthology episodes: "Treehouse of Horror," where the Simpsons family (and friends) are put through parodies of horror/sci-fi stories (from "The Twilight Zone" to "Death Note"). "Treehouse of Horror" has been an annual "Simpsons" tradition since season 2, but the series isn't constrained by this. A handful of "Simpsons" episodes are anthologies of a different flavor (see "Simpsons Bible Stories" in season 10 or "Tales from the Public Domain" in season 13).
"Futurama," though? The sci-fi show doesn't have an equivalent tradition, perhaps as part of the show's efforts to not compete with "The Simpsons.

Tsugumi Ohba, the creator of the popular manga and anime series Death Note and Bakuman, is a legend in the manga world. Ohba’s work has inspired many other manga artists, and Death Note, his first manga, which he co-created with illustrator Takeshi Obata, is considered by many to be one of the best works in the history of entertainment.
Death Note Anime
After the success of Death Note, Ohba collaborated once again with Obata to create Bakuman. The series instantly became a hit in the manga world because it was a story about two boys who were trying to become manga artists. The series explains their journey, and it even has some real-world inspiration from the Weekly Shonen Jump.
Although Bakuman is considered one of Ohba’s best works, he once revealed in an interview that he initially hated one aspect of the series and could not do anything about it.

In the world of anime, there are childhood classics like Pokémon, Dragon Ball, and Naruto, and then there’s Death Note. Ever since the anime premiered in 2006, it solidified its status as a cultural icon, earning itself the honorable Animation of the Year award in 2007. The series stands apart from the other series in the Shonen genre because it does not rely on fast-paced action sequences to keep its audience hooked. Instead, it features a tug-of-war psychological warfare between Light Yagami and L.

Of all the American streaming services, Netflix is the one that relies most heavily on international projects. Its most critically and popularly acclaimed films and series are regularly projects originating in Europe, K- and J-dramas streamed on Netflix receive high ratings on review aggregators, and, of course, the company is betting big on anime.
Japanese animation arrived on the service in 2014, when Knights of Sidonia was announced as Netflix's first 'original' anime series, followed by many other original and licensed, failed and successful projects, as well as live-action adaptations from Death Note to One Piece, and now, 10 years later, the Netflix series Delicious in Dungeon has a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
On that note, the huge deal was the April 5 addition to Netflix's library of the feature-length anime film Suzume by renowned Japanese filmmaker Makoto Shinkai. The film received rave reviews from critics and audiences alike during its theatrical release,...

Anime’s popularity can be attributed to a number of factors, including its diverse genres, unique storytelling methods, and its unique art style. But what makes anime more interesting is how they include raw violence to add an extra layer of intensity and realism to their plot. Nowadays, anime studios are censoring themselves as they are making anime following Western standards.

Ranker is a popular place on the Internet where people can rank whatever they want, however, they want, and whenever they want. This is always a fan-focused ranking system and it is never officially tied to the people behind the projects in question. Recently, a large survey was organized on the site with the following description:

Some of the most famous anime of all time was once published in Shonen Jump, such as One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Gintama, and so many more massive shows.

Godzilla vs. Kong – the fifth film in the Monsterverse franchise – stumbles into cinemas with all the grace of a giant lizard battling an oversized ape, and sadly, it never quite finds its footing.
Directed by Death Note and Godzilla vs. Kong director Adam Wingard, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire sees the return of Rebecca Hall as Monarch anthropological linguist, and Kaylee Hottle as her adoptive daughter Jia. Also back for another slice of Kaiju mayhem is Brian Tyree Henry as Bernie Hayes, a Cybernetics technician turned conspiracy theorist and podcaster.
Kong, accompanied by his guardians, embarks on a treacherous quest to uncover his ancestral homeland. Their journey takes an unexpected turn when they cross paths with a rampaging Godzilla, leaving a trail of devastation in his wake.

Adam Wingard wanted to limit the human cast's screen time in 'Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire'.The 41-year-old director has helmed the new monster movie and was determined to minimise the human involvement in the picture so the appropriate focus was placed on the two towering beasts.Adam told The Hollywood Reporter: "In the development phase, my motto was, ‘Simplicity is key.’ And so I knew that if we created a smaller cast, we could create a more intimate story."We can still spend time with [the human characters], and at the same time, we can spend more time with the monsters and not shortchange one or the other."Godzilla hibernates in Rome's historic Colosseum during the movie and Wingard revealed that an unlikely feline source of creativity helped him come up with the idea.The 'Death Note' filmmaker explained: "My cat, Mischief, is my biggest inspiration in life,...

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.

Dan Lin, the producer behind the Lego movies and the new live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender, has been tapped as the new head of film for Netflix, according to sources.
Lin steps into the role vacated by Scott Stuber, who announced in January he would step down in March.
Lin’s name had been in the mix since the early days of the headhunting, along with former Disney executive Sean Bailey and Twilight producer Wyck Godfrey, among a handful of others. Bailey seemed like the choice until he wasn’t, with the Feb. 26 shake-up at Disney resulting in his departure after a 15-year run at the Burbank-based studio.
Making a deal with Lin was not a slam dunk. Lin remained strongly tied to Rideback, his prolific production company, and Rideback Rise, his equally robust nonprofit endeavor. The two entities proved to be stumbling blocks on previous occasions when...

Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender premieres on Thursday, Feb. 22 and it’s not been regarded as a good adaptation of the original Avatar: The Last Airbender debuted on Nickelodeon in 2005 and ran for three seasons, ending in 2008. It’s been criticized for its emotionally hollow and tonally disconnected themes. The live-action show has also been under severe criticism due to the changes in the innate traits of some characters.

And at such a time, when fans are utterly disappointed with the new Netflix adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender, some fans have an alternate idea. They think, rather than making live-action adaptations of animated series, makers should stick to what they have been usually doing. To make animated versions of a live-action movie.

Author Django Wexler’s novel How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying – which has been described as “Groundhog Day meets Guardians of the Galaxy” – won’t be reaching store shelves until May 21st (you can pre-order a copy at This Link), but Deadline reports that Legendary has already come out the winner in a bidding war over the adaptation rights. A TV series adaptation is now in development, with Legendary’s Godzilla vs. Kong director Adam Wingard heading up the project and producing with his manager Jeremy Platt.
How to Become the Dark Lord and Die Trying is said to be a “laugh-out-loud fantasy tale about a young woman who, tired of defending humanity from the Dark Lord, decides to become the Dark Lord herself.” Here’s the book’s description: Davi has done this all before. She’s tried to be the hero and take down the all-powerful Dark Lord.

Although it is not very typical for a protagonist in anime to pass away, there are a number of anime series where the protagonist’s demise plays a major role in the plot. The most significant event in the program is nearly usually the death of the main character, whether it’s through dealing a severe emotional blow or advancing the plot by giving the reins to a new character.
Even though some of them might live again in the future, their deaths had a profound effect on everyone in their immediate vicinity. The protagonist’s death doesn’t always mean the series is going to end. It just hands over the reign to someone who is either related to the character or becomes more significant to the series.

Anime grows more popular with each passing year, yet an endless debate in the community still argues the merits of “subs vs. dubs.” Among some, dubbed anime continues to be viewed as a concession or a way to lure mainstream international audiences into the Japanese medium. It’s always a good idea to experience something in its original language, but dubbing has also proven itself to be its own artform that has the power to complement and improve upon the original series.
Certain anime dubs, such as Cowboy Bebop, Death Note, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and My Hero Academia, have won over fans and are viewed as equals to their original subtitled versions. However, the anime dubbing industry has made tremendous strides over the past decade and Attack on Titan has become the crowning achievement of what’s possible when inspired dubbing meets groundbreaking storytelling.

Animator Vincent Chansard, who is popular for his work on One Piece anime and the recent Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2, had revealed that he won’t be working with Mappa studio again owing to their poor working conditions.
However, veteran animation director Mamoru Yokota, who has worked on Death Note, Dragon Quest and even One Piece among other series, was skeptical of the “overseas animator’s” claims about the working conditions, and pointed out a number of things about the situation.
Image Source: Fullfrontal
In his first post made on Jan 10, 2024, Yokota said that the animation studio can only be blamed if animators were paid less than what was agreed upon initially, or if the project was delayed or cancelled. If a contract breach had not occurred, then the responsibility for poor scheduling falls on other staff members including the director and even the production staff/committee.

Netflix’s adaptation of One Piece into a live-action series last summer wasn’t just a hit – it topped the charts as the most in-demand show of 2023. The pressure was immense, given the massive popularity of Eiichiro Oda’s original manga and its anime version. But Netflix’s series didn’t just meet expectations; it soared past them, quickly becoming a streaming sensation.
Since its debut, One Piece has been a juggernaut on Netflix, even securing a second season thanks to its overwhelming success. According to Parrot Analytics and The Wrap, the series’ demand was 52.8 times higher than many other streaming shows in the first 30 days of its US release. And the hype hasn’t died down; people are still talking about it!
This isn’t just a flash in the pan. One Piece’s live-action series not only leads the pack in Netflix’s streaming charts but also outshines other popular 2023 releases.

Netflix is famous for its hit-and-miss live-action adaptations of anime. For example, it really pulled through with its One Piece adaptation despite the public’s qualms about it. The pacing of the show was well-done and it stayed true to the source material, leaving fans raving about it for days. On the other hand, it had a huge miss when it released Death Note’s live-action film — other than William Defoe’s Ryuk, there was nothing about that movie that was redeemable. So, naturally, fans had their concerns when Netflix announced a live-action adaptation of Yu Yu Hakusho. Surprisingly though, the show...

Anime is the most hyped form of media in this day and age. While it has been popular for the longest time, newer anime such as “Jujutsu Kaisen,” “Demon Slayer,” “Attack on Titan,” “Spy x Family,” and more have taken its popularity to newer heights.
Although these mainstream anime are a wild ride, with their unique stories, gorgeous art, and endearing characters, some anime go beyond the scope of ‘likeability’ and almost border on ‘insanity.’ Some of the best monster anime in the industry are like that.

Having run for over twenty years, the UK’s largest festival of Japanese cinema, the Japan Foundation Touring Film Programme (JFTFP24), returns with its biggest showcase ever for 2024.
Memories play a powerful role in the mind. Shaped fluidly by individuals or time, they have been a source of inspiration for many filmmakers, fuelling their creativity to craft colourful stories. Under the theme ‘Unforgettable: Memories, Times and Reflections in Japanese Cinema’ the JFTFP24 delves into Japanese cinema to explore how memories are employed in the cinematic voices of Japanese filmmakers, from films where memories are a focal point to works where they play a subliminal role in driving or affecting people’s minds and behaviour. With an incredibly diverse range of films all based on memories, time, and reflections, this year’s programme is set to provide UK audiences with memorable stories and unforgettable moments.

I was told that Netflix had a tendency, or habit if you’d call it that, to ruin live-action anime adaptations, as seen with Death Note, Bleach, and others. However, after seeing One Piece, I thought that time had passed, and to be honest, this was the only reason I picked up Yu Yu Hakusho, but with a pinch of salt. The live-action adaptation of the highly successful manga didn’t disappoint. The series chronicles the story of one Yusuke Uremeshi (Takumi Kitamura), a high school student who, for his blunt attitude, always ends up in brawls, which he always won, by the way. Yusuke was the type of person who’d not even explain his stance, even if he was right. Why? He thinks it’s too much work. In one instance, he was mistaken for a bully stealing money from a student, but Yusuke didn’t even defend...

Voices That Bring Anime to Life: Celebrating the Best Anime Voice Actors of All Time ( Photo Credit – IMDb )
Japan takes its anime voice actors very seriously to the point where they have special voice acting academies and schools to train them to master their art completely. This is exactly why these professionals are so versatile and have such natural, golden voices. In fact, a large number of avid anime fans prefer watching anime subs rather than anime dubs exactly because of this. Some Dub actors tend to exaggerate and overact as a way to compensate for the inconsistency in translations and syncing. Native voice actors retain the ‘authenticity’ that dubs lack.
The authenticity of the subs is attributed to the voice actors’ talent and how natural they are with their jobs. Here are some of the best Japanese anime voice actors of all time.

What if there was no tomorrow? That's an existential question posed not only by the 2014 time loop film "Edge of Tomorrow," but also by its sequel's complicated status following the original's successful release. Ever since 2015, director Doug Liman and stars Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt have spoken at various times about a sequel movie getting off the ground. At one point, Liman had said that the sequel would be entitled "Live Die Repeat and Repeat" (referencing the movie's ersatz title/subtitle) and that the film's co-writer Christopher McQuarrie would also return. He even claimed that the concept was so good that "it's gonna revolutionize how people make sequels."
Alas, a myriad of obstacles have gotten in the way in the intervening years between that statement and now, with Blunt saying in August 2023 that she's still interested in making a sequel, but doesn't know when or how it could happen. Given the project's stalled status,...

"Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion" is one of the most anime TV programs out there. It takes about three series-sustaining premises and fuses them into one. In an alternate world where Britain crushed the American Revolution but then fell to Napoleon, the Holy Britannian Empire rules from the North American continent.
Exiled Britannian prince Lelouch lives in the conquered Japan ("Area 11"), waiting for the day when he can take revenge on his father Emperor Charles for the death of his mother, Lady Marianne. He gets his chance when he meets a green-haired witch named Cc, who gives him the "power of a king" — Geass. If Lelouch stares someone in the eye, he can issue one single command that they must obey. He uses his new power to become masked revolutionary "Zero," naming his followers the Black Knights. At the same time, he must also keep a secret identity from his teenage peers,...

This post contains spoilers for "The Simpsons" 2023 Treehouse of Horror episode.
Say what you will of latter-day "The Simpsons," but the Treehouse of Horror episodes are still a reliably fun time. Although this year's trio of segments don't quite match up to last year's — an impossibly high standard — it was still far better than a usual episode. The first segment was "Wild Barts Can't Be Token," which takes what should be a played-out premise about NFTs and turns it into a delightful "Snowpiercer" homage. The third segment was "Lout Break," which serves as a spiritual successor to the "Send in the Clones" segment from way back in 2002. But the middle segment ("Ei8ht") was clearly the best. Although with the title you might assume it's a straightforward "Se7en" parody, the story is instead most memorable for its early call out to one of the show's greatest episodes: "Cape Feare,...

Megan Fox and her boyfriend, Machine Gun Kelly, attended a Halloween party in Los Angeles with coordinated costumes, inspired by the anime series Death Note.
Mgk, whose real name is Colson Baker, took on the role of Ryuk, while Megan embraced the appearance of a red apple as his symbol of the “forbidden fruit.”
Mgk adopted an all-black ensemble for the event that included a fitted, long-sleeved shirt, combat boots, a brown leather belt and ornate green and black feathers on his shoulders. He restyled his characteristic platinum blond hair into a spiky raven wig and painted his face white with yellow and black around the eyes, cheeks and mouth. He further accessorized with gloves and leather pieces that featured long nails on his fingertips.
Fox, in contrast with her husband’s dark colors, showcased a fire-engine-red bob haircut styled in two small space buns atop her head. She added...
