Hollywood has had a difficult relationship with anime, but Japan boasts a wide breadth of great live-action films based on anime and manga.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Where live-action adaptations of anime and manga are concerned, there is a much wider world of movies than the often disappointing offerings of Hollywood films. Anime was widely considered a touch of death in Hollywood, although One Piece season 1 has seemly broken this curse, offering the best Netflix live-action anime adaptation. But movies with origins in anime and manga have always had success in other parts of the world.
Simply titled Grand Blue, the surreal college romp comedy was released in 2020 after being delayed due to the pandemic. Though it greatly condensed the events of the series, Grand Blue managed to convey the same tone and irreverent laughs as the original. That being said, something about seeing the same events translated to live action gave the film a surreal, fever-dream-like quality, likely amplified by its rushed retelling of the serialized story.
Producer Takashi Hirano aimed to start with Part 4 due to its accessibility and popularity, and to his credit, the film went on to win the audience award at the Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival. Closely following the events of the anime and manga, the film was able to bring the famous stand powers of the Joestar family to life surprisingly well, the sound design and effects leaping right out of the original series.
Eventually, Kubo relented, lending his efforts to the creation of the live-action film. Of all the big-budget movies to harness the success of an action anime with real people, Bleach is among the most successful. The fantasy action film managed to please its pre-existing fanbase while also concisely explaining the intricate mythology of Ichigo's world to new viewers.
