" & The Show's Dystopian Los Angeles/Tokyo Mash-Up Setting :"Everybody's needs are being met digitally, whether it's sex or travel, you can put on goggles and go anywhere, but the one thing you cannot do is eat and taste food, and because of that, chefs have become the most powerful people in Los Angeles. They're like gangsters as they take each other out.
The comic starts where this mysterious Japanese sushi chef lands in Los Angeles, and he starts playing everyone against each other. As the series continues, we see that there's a whole method to his madness, and the entire thing is like him creating a recipe for the grand finale. A lot of food, mayhem, and violence happens.
": We really needed to make sure, obviously, that we got the food right, We got this guy named Matt Goulding, who was a coworker and a very good friend of Bourdain's. He would read every script, look at every animatic, and watch every episode.
":"Kurosawa was a big part of the comic; it feels a lot like 'Yojimbo. ' We're dealing with such a cinephile , and Brian and I are also huge lovers of cinema, so we wanted to make sure that every episode had a very cinematic flair. ":"We had to expand on what was already there, which includes creating a couple of new characters, some extra storylines.
There's one villain, and we'll just refer to him as the cannibal, that hopefully people will enjoy, but mostly it was about taking the characters that were already there and just deepening them and finding more about them.

Animation, the ten-episode half-hour animated series is set in a not-too-distant future L.A. , where master chefs rule the town and people literally kill for a seat at the best restaurants.
A mysterious sushi master named Jiro enters a bloody culinary war and begins to craft his recipe for revenge. If the series can come even close to matching the look and vibe of the DC/Vertigo graphic novels, then Adult Swim could have another Emmy-winning animated series on its hands – never a bad thing.
