You know it! Hinomaru is so lit right now!

Only 80s series I've read is JoJo and some of Kinnikuman/Fotns/City Hunter. I really gotta check out some of the 80s titles but I got some 90s/2000s series that I want to read first ( Shaman King, Hoshin Engi, Jaguar, etc )

I should probably get caught up with City Hunter before that film drops in 2019.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I've read Hokuto no Ken like five months ago, and that was a total amazing ride.

You wa shock!

Also, since I'm Spanish, I've watched all Saint Seiya and Captain Tsubasa.

 

[Tamil]

I cant wait to finish Hokuto no ken for sure.

Oh man, I gotta add Saint Seiya to the list as well. I watched it as a kid, and all I remembered was that the opening was just some rock cover of the popular song, "I ran" by A Flock of Seagulls. It was a shitty AMV but I liked it. I really missed the early 2000s

Def one of my fav dub OPs, along with YYH.

People thought the Bleach movie was going to succeed? The trailer alone was a giant red flag

 

[savethecat]

Does anyone know is Muhyo & Roji will be on any streaming services like Crunchyroll

You do know that the movie has been receiving good reviews right. Judging the movie before viewing it as you are doing now is one of the main reasons it has failed at the box office. Shinsuke Sato even received an award at its international premiere.

Crunchyroll sometimes doesn't announced stuff beforehand so they could still pick it up


as of now only Animax(SEA) is confirmed for English subs (Animax UK is dead right?) which is technically a streaming service(not yet in Malaysia though)

The Bleach movie is actually performing above Inuyashiki, Shinsuke Sato's other genre trilogy. It's actually within reasonable expectations.

More importantly, it looks like Tanaka Yadda Yadda has been picked up. Here's chapter 4: https://mangadex.org/chapter/420900

This. It's fine to be cautious of live action adaptations of battle manga. But its very clear a lot of people just found reasons to whine about every single time something was revealed. Like Rukia's hair, Ichigo's hair not being orange enough, the clothing looking poor quality, some people complaining that the sword is different without realizing that its how his sword actually was at the start etc. etc. If there was any reason for the movie to be doomed from the start, it was because of such nitpicking.
The sword fighting actually looked decent in the trailers. It's sad the movie failed.

Wasn't Bleach with a much higher budget?

 

[MangAniMY]

Just call it Tanaka Seiji...

oh it's the discord team, wonder who Henry requited this time.

The budgets on both movies are only about $4 million. That's nothing really.

 

[Mankichi Togawa]

I find Tanaka Seiji art to be awful. Premise is interesting but that art...

to quote Act-Age

still, $4M is standard fare for Japanese film cost

I love it honestly. The blockyness makes for a unique style, kinda reminds me of the uniqueness MHA has. The simple drawings work well with the comedy too I think.

What live actions are known to do well even? Like it was no way Bleach was gonna beat Pokemon but nobody has provided a barometer of successful live actions to go off.

Well if there's a barometer there's last year's Gintama live action movie which did ¥4.6 billion ($42 million) making it the highest grossing film in Japan last year but the Bleach movie is looking to do worse than the Jojo movie which only grossed ¥990 million ($2 million).

As far as I'm aware, Henry wasn't involved with this project, he just posted it on r/manga. The series was picked up by Cyan Steam.
