Y: The Last Man and Ex Machina creator Brian K. Vaughan has been attached to the upcoming film adaptation of Mobile Suit Gundam, co-produced by Sunrise and Legendary Entertainment.

Vaughan, who is also executive producing the film, has already signed a three-year contract with Legendary. The deal with the studio involves adaptations of his own properties, as well as original movie and TV projects.

The project is being overseen by Cale Boyter, a producer on Pacific Rim: Uprising and the upcoming Pokémon: Detective Pikachu. The film will mark the first official live-action adaptation of a title in the Gundam franchise.

Ojamajo movie in the works for 2020

How does Ojamajo's popularity compare to PreCure?

>>32664
I'd imagine Precure is much more well known at least with the younger generation, last of Ojamajo Doremi aired 15+ years ago.

Their only worthwhile products are strike witches and Murata Range character design anime.


They haven't put out either in years.
YEARS!

They have nobody to blame outside of poor management decisions and shitty direction in all of their recent anime. That isn't to say that the direction in strike witches or range murata shows were even passable, just that there was enough else there to make up for it.

Rosario + Vampire died when the dumb fucks at Gonzo chose to skip the ghoul arc and completely forgo the character growth of the main character from shitty spineless self-insert to manly GAR vampire lord who grabs bitches by their breasts without giving a fuck and fucks peoples shit up when they try to start shit with him in order to just keep him as the shitty self-insert for the anime... ruining the timeline and setting themselves up for sales so low that a reboot to correct those errors would be impossible.

It became a huge hit selling more than 30,000 units, then even got a theatrical release on December 21, 1985 along with the first Vampire Hunter D OVA.

Is Detective Pikachu anime?

It depends if you consider live action adaptations I guess, I’m glad there’s finally a couple non shit ones with speed racer, edge of tomorrow and that. I know the japs make some but I’ve never seen any because it’s honestly difficult to find subs for jap live action that aren’t Chinese.

Considering the rules of this site though, probably not here.

It's American made and live action, so no.

Japanese figure company MegaHouse has listed two new 1/8 scale figures of Spike Spiegel and Faye Valentine from the Cowboy Bebop anime franchise for release in December 2019. Both figures are inspired by the two's gun action scenes in the story.



Pre-orders for the 16,280 yen items and their 30,800 yen two-figure set are accepted exclusively on Premium Bandai, MegaTrea Shop, AmiAmi, Digitamin, Volks, and Yellow Submarine.

Joshiraku is being licensed by Maiden Japan and will receive official english subs. A very strange decision since this is quite a niche show. I'm quite interested to see how they're going to pull it off given the highly contextual humor and wordplay.

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-07-17/maiden-japan-licenses-joshiraku-comedy-anime/.149077

>>33383
From what I recall, no one wanted to sub the anime when it came out due to how complicated the humor and dialog is. This was back when fansubs were still a thing.

>>33390
GG ended up being the only ones to sub it, and each episode was accompanied by pages full of TL notes. For some the GG-subbed version is an abomination because a lot of the Japanese contextual jokes are replaced entirely with Western-understandable counterparts ("Four heavenly kings" -> "Kanto elite four"). To me the replacements at least made sense in context (which is better than the current state of official subbing [>>/an/33121]), so I didn't generally mind too much though.

It's time for The Rising of the Shield Hero franchise to take the inevitable next step: A stage play adaptation! Stage performances have been announced for next spring, starting with COOL JAPAN PARK OSAKA TT Hall in Osaka in March 2020 before moving over to Tokyo Theater Sun Mall in April.

>>33383
If you're interested someone ripped the subs from the official version: https://mega.nz/#!EggkxCqY!mclFdnrTCLqrUpNNFwraiTLqHXHerwaNy-8Vj3TNdOo

But honestly I think GG's were fine and are better than the official. For instance, in episode 6 (the "four"s scene) the original dialogue is "Kisetsu wa shunkashūtō". GG's version has "The seasons are spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Four again." Official version has "The beatles had four members. They were pretty popular." And when jokes needed to be rewritten for both the GG version matches the spirit of the original more closely.

Sankyu, anon.
Will give the Joshiraku subtitles a look.

Apparently Black Fox was intended to be a tv series that ran into production issues and got salvaged into an anime:

Can't finish a 1 cour tv anime in time? Turn it to a movie! Brillant marketing?

>>33532
Maybe it's just thoughtfulness on the part of the Japanese. They already have a TV Show with a particular name. What if someone else decides to make a different show with the name "Isekai Quintet" but that name was taken?
Also, what if, as the series progresses, the Quintet returns to being a Quartet. What do they call it now?

Great, more uninspired lowest common denominator shows.

>>33730
Too bad for netflix that they don't seem to understand your average person doesn't actually watch anime. "weebs" of today are all secondary and are only interested in meme and emoji derived from anime, they care little for the source material itself.

>>33731
Then all they need to do is fund and present such works.

>>33732
Except they probably wont just fund them.

>>33732
How do you 'fund' meme and emoji?

>>33734
Sorry, I meant they'll fund stuff that's "meme-able" or whatever.

>>33734
Not sure about funding, but it's probably possible to influence social media and make it seem organic. The fact that the phrase "netflix and chill" has entered into current lexicon is certainly evidence of this. I'm not sure how the other poster wanted to apply this to "memes and emoji" in the context of anime, however. I suppose it's possible to create a show that's intentionally manufactured to be "memeable" (á la Neo Yokio), but that alone might not result in sufficient viewership to offset the costs.

>>33736
Anime doesn't cost much at all to make.
