The most daring combination I've read about in a while. It might turn out terrible, but it'd still be interesting.

Oh... key visual is a bit off putting. But eh, why not?

You don't get non-domestic adaptations very often (unless they're classics). Was the book popular? o.O

I think people are a bit confused about what this essay is. It's not like what'd you turn in for a high school class.

It's a 336 page book detailing the guy's experiences eating food in Japan.

When I read "English essay will be getting an anime adaptation" my first thought was that literally some random guy off the Internet wrote an essay on sushi for his English class and now it's somehow getting animated.

Huh, never heard of an essay becoming an anime but sounds interesting enough.



Then again, when I hear English essay, I first think of a two page high school analysis on some poetry by a long dead guy.

Essays are really interesting to read. George Orwell's "Shooting an elephant" ought to be adapted. It's really interesting.

Not sure why would it... Anyhow, it's apparently about how Japs make some of hte most dedicated food in the world, could be interesting.

Hi, so this looks interesting so I looked up the book and found this article

http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/features/sushi-and-beyond-how-i-became-big-in-japan-9120173.html

It's by the author of the essay and written last February. He doesn't mention anime but does talk about meeting with Japanese TV companies about a two hour special, a drama series based on the book (I suppose he could have been referring to the anime but not being familiar with/wanting to use the word anime?) and a series about him going to Japan with his family again. He also mentions plans for two different manga adaptations.

So I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about whether anything had ever come of these? Are there already manga or drama adaptations of the book out there?

I never read anything about the adaptations other than anime, though. Since the article is from last year, they might just decided to have TV anime adaptation after a long discussion instead of the adaptations you mentioned.
