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.
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.

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.

Well, I got tired of trying to watch anime on the beach after my third or fourth try. Although the first time it was quite authentic.

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.

This is Netflix Japan. Basically just an ordinary Japanese movie that Netflix publishes. Like their Korean division with Squid Game.
Well, I got tired of trying to watch anime on the beach after my third or fourth try. Although the first time it was quite authentic.
Imagine doing it on the grass with all the dirt and insects crawling up.
You reminded me of the grass and I suddenly realized that this is quite nostalgic for me, since I have not sat directly on the grass since childhood.
