Seinfeld is an exception, since it did things that were rather eccentric in terms of the standard television sitcom. But I digress, I can see Kochikame pulling this off quite well, I'm highly anticipating this. Wasn't there a live action Jaguar movie? I can imagine that it would be an amusing drama.

I feel like Mago has been so far overshadowed by all the newcomers. I mean, I never enjoyed it, but I feel like it's gotten lost amidst everything new, and old. I wouldn't be surprised if it's cut short, Mx0 style.

Mago is more popular then Mx0 ever was. Mx0 never sold as well. The only series to debut between 2007 and 2009 that out sell Mago is Bakuman and Toriko. Toriko does not out sell it by much. Also, Mago's sales continue to rise. Psyren and Sket Dance are in much more danger. Both are weak sellers, by Jump standards.

Yep, but I'm not sure how it did in the threater...
Though I do know the DMC's movie was pretty successful.

There's a major difference, though, between the Japanese LA drama and an American comedy show. A Japanese drama sort of goes from series to series and usually runs for just a specific time period. American comedies are for the most part run season to season with longer runs.

If KochiKame works I could see it renewed. But personally with a lot of the crazy stuff in Jump, I rather they stick with anime, which for the most part can still be made cheaply.

Since Kochikame is an episodic comedy series to begin with, I guess it won't be to different from doing an 11 episode anime.

The problem with anime is that the ratings are lower then drama. Bloody Monday's was three to four points higher then One Piece, one of the most popular anime. Obviously a series like Psyren could never get a drama, it would need a Hollywood budget for the effects. But a series like Sket Dance or Bakuman would be far more successful live due to the difference in popularity between the formats. The extra exposure could benefit the manga too; Bloody Monday went from a mid - tier series to one of the most popular in ShoMag since airing.

Katori Shingo? KATORI SHINGO? They got a SMAP member?! HOLY CRAP ON A FISHSTICK.

Yeah, Kochikame could do really well as a drama. Seems like the kind of thing that would be suited to one. Doesn't need a plot with a real ending, and in fact, if it doesn't, it could even have multiple seasons (which isn't very common in dramas, though probably because of plot). Wow! Congratulations to Kochikame!

Bet it'll have high ratings, too.

You're right. That text looks nothing like Ryotsu!

Well.. while Shingo-kun is indeed a pretty face, he's still a decent comical actor. On top of that, this wouldn't be his first non-pretty role.

OK, I can see him playing Ryo - san now Looks like he'll be able to blend into the role. Slap a unibrow and crew cut on him and he'll be fine.

Yeah, the face really fits. Now I don't how him as an actor but seems he has a good reputation and he's a singer too? Sweet.

Kochikame drama....... DREAM. COME. TRUE.

this and jaguar's live action movie just shows that things i like are better suited to non-anime formats (though the kochikame anime movie stands in my top 5 anime any day of the week)

 

[Finestela]

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

I wouldn't say better suited, but it is indeed a viable alternative medium. Also, due to cultural bias toward anime/cartoon in general, movies/drama series would be able to attract a wider audiences that might otherwise be hesitant to see it.

So do I. Both the manga and drama are very good. Bloody Monday reinforced (to me at least) that shonen could be successfully adapted into drama. Not only do I think it made a better drama then it would have anime, it found an even bigger audience with live actors.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

Yes, indeed. But then again, the topic of hacker and terrorists is simply a good one for a live action adaption and Bloody Monday presents the story nicely. Also loved how they did the falcon fly during the hacking scenes <333

Ehem... *hits herself back to topic*

lol. That's how I feel about a couple of Jump titles. Bakuman and Sket would make phenomenal drama, Kuroko as well, though I don't actually like the comic.

Re: Weekly Shounen Jump [2009] - Discussion & TOC Talk v.2

Hm, I really have to catch up with Sket. Together with Nurari, it is the only more recent Jump title that actually interests me.

I stopped Bakuman relatively early because it was boring to me. It's not the first manga I've read about manga creators and I generally find this plot interesting but I don't like the story telling in Bakuman. Too generic shounen-ish for my taste but probably nice for a teenie TV drama.

Off topic but someone really needs to sub the Jaguar movie and Flash Anime.
