| I hope it will be a cheesy action movie with good fights. Because that's what makes the French and Chinese movie better than other past adaptations of this manga. |

| I like Japanese live action movies but I wish it wasn't Netflix. Netflix adaptations always bad |

Basically just regular Japanese movies that are promoted through Netflix streaming. They had already adapted some manga, even including one locally known yuri and it was a typical Japanese movie. |

| I can bet nobody but me watched Hentai Kamen so they don't have any idea what a perfect choice Ryouhei Suzuki is.. He has the height and the frame to play Ryo saeba and playing hentai mask, he should be an expert like Ryo on panties haha.. I wonder who they gonna get to play umibozu... There are plenty of actresses who can play Kaori and saeko, I wish the article mentioned the cast for them.. Can't wait to see it, but it would be 2025.. |

Yes, only the haircut shoudl be changed like Ryo in the manga. Great news! But I wish they make TV series instead of the movie. And of course further adapt the manga into anime series. |

Yes indeed, I am from France. |

I don't wanna doxx myself so let's just say it's in the Alsace-Lorraine general area. and you ? |
tchitchouan said: I don't wanna doxx myself so let's just say it's in the Alsace-Lorraine general area. I see. No problem, I don't want to be intrusive. I don't know much about your region other than basic historical facts, but the google photos look pretty authentic.  |

Yeah that's pretty accurate, if you had seen the anime Gochiusa, then you'd have a pretty good idea how Alsace looks like. |

If you're talking about a well-preserved quiet northern European city with a medieval aesthetic, then yes, as someone who has lived all his life in a city that only appeared in the 18th century, I love this. |

Quite lovely indeed, pretty peaceful and quiet. A nice place to enjoy anime and video games away from the bustle of the big cities. |

RobertBobert said: Understand. Although with such a view outside the window, I would be more distracted all the time, lol. Believe me, it gets boring after a while, it becomes a mundane part of life like seeing a car or a convenience store. |

| this series is literally one of the more fit to live action adaptation than any other series. if netflix still fail at that, there is something in inherently problematic with their scriptwriter choice. |

They all already have a great mold in the 2019 film to base it from, the only thing they gotta do is not mess it up. |
tchitchouan said: exactly, the frence live action was excellent, and that one isn't highly budged. if they fumbled even this franchise, think netflix has much bigger problem in their staff recruitment and planning it self.Kuma said: this series is literally one of the more fit to live action adaptation than any other series. if netflix still fail at that, there is something in inherently problematic with their scriptwriter choice.

This is Netflix Japan. Basically just an ordinary Japanese movie that Netflix publishes. Like their Korean division with Squid Game. tchitchouan said: RobertBobert said: Well, I got tired of trying to watch anime on the beach after my third or fourth try.
