Prison School TV Series Drama

Popular manga series, “Prison School” will be receiving a live-action drama television series adaptation that will air in MBS on October 25 at 24:50 and TBS on October 27 at 25:11. The series is directed by Iguchi Noboru at production studio Robot.

Iguchi said with a laugh that when he heard about the live-action television plans, he initially asked, "Is this for real?" He felt that if he squandered this chance to adapt this amusing manga, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

Death Note TV Series

Popular manga series Death Note received a TV drama series that premiered last July 5, 2015. It was directed by Inomata Ryuichi, known for his work on Kaseifu no Mita, and Nishimura Ryo, who worked on the special version of the 2014 drama Kamen Teacher. The adaptation featured several talented actors, including:

• Kubota Masataka as Yagami Light
• Yamazaki Kento as L. Lawliet
• Yuki Mio as Near / Mello
• Sano Hinako as Amane Misa
• Matsushige Yutaka as Yagami Soichiro
• Fujiwara Reiko as Yagami Sayu
• Maeda Goki as Matsutuda Tota
• Yuge Tomohisa as Aizawa Shuichi
• Sato Jiro as Mogi Kanzo
• Seki Megumi as Himura Shoko / Halle Lidner
• Hankai Kazuaki as Watari

I’ve heard mixed reviews with this series, so I’m not sure if I want to watch it or not. Kubota Masatake does make an impressive Light, but I think Yamazaki Kento might be a little too beautiful as L? Also (spoiler alert!), Apparently Near has a split personality, so Yuki Mio plays both Near and Mello! That part I actually wish to see for myself!

What are your thoughts on this adaptation of the series?

Shingeki no Kyojin Live Action Trailer

What we have here is our first look at the 3D Maneuver Gear for the live action movie of Shingeki no Kyojin. I am cautiously optimistic? But at the same time, I’m not entirely sure that those effects will be convincing enough once it hits theaters.

I initially thought it was Eren kissing Mikasa in 1:28, but it looks like they’re the new characters that were created for this film! Good thing too, because I always viewed Eren and Mikasa as siblings!

Anyway, I’m holding off any and all judgment from this film until I actually see it in a month or two. I’m completely excited, and my Survey Corps jacket is ready and waiting!

Bakuman Movie’s Promotional Flyer

We’ve seen Sato Takeru and Kamiki Ryunosuke as Mashiro Moritaka and Takagi Akito back in May 2014… but I thought you guys might want to see this promotional leaflet, since the illustrations they are holding originals by Obata Takeshi!

The film is a youth drama that depicts the struggles of 2 high school students: Moritaka Mashiro and Takagi Akito, as they strive to be a successful mangaka pair that aims to be serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump. The poster shows the two protagonists holding an illustration drawn by the manga artist, Obata Takeshi-sensei, himself.

In addition to Sato & Kamiki, the film also features a star-studded supporting cast headed by prolific young actor Sometani Shota as their rival mangaka - Niizuma Eiji, Komatsu Nana as the heroine - Azuki Miho, Yamada Takayuki, Lily Franky, Kudo Kankuro, Kiritani Kenta, Sarutoki Minagawa and Arai Hirofumi. The film is directed by One Hitoshi (Moteki).

"Bakuman" will be in Japanese theaters on October 03, 2015.
