Live-Action Silver Spoon's Trailers Preview Yuzu's Opening

The official website for the live-action film adaptation of Hiromu Arakawa's Silver Spoon farming manga began streaming the first full trailer and the second teaser trailer on Saturday. The trailers feature the Japanese musical duo Yuzu's theme song "Hidamari."

The full trailer opens in English with the narrator labeling the main character Yūgo Hachiken as the world's "true savior." When Hachiken meets a pig he will raise, he thanks the pig in advance for its service that he assumes will last for his three years at an agricultural high school in Hokkaido. The teacher responds, "What are you saying? We're shipping it in the fall." Many of Hachiken's classmates are from farming families, but Hachiken is from the city and is not used to farm life. The video ends with Hachiken apologizing for splashing someone in the face with an sprayer.

Sexy Zone band member Kento Nakajima plays the main character Yūgo Hachiken who mutters to himself, as in the first teaser, "I wanna quit this school." In the videos, the 15-year-old learns about agricultural life through hands-on activities like cleaning stalls and raising crops. Fellow student Aki Mikage (35-sai no Kokosei and Zekkyō Gakkyū's Alice Hirose) supports the clueless Hachiken as he learns

Arakawa created Fullmetal Alchemist before penning this manga. The manga won last year's Manga Taisho (Cartoon Grand Prize) award, last year's Booklog award, and this year's Shogakukan Manga Awards in the boys' category. The manga is currently running in Shogakukan's Shonen Sunday magazine and Shogakukan published the ninth compiled volume in October.

The anime adaptation of the manga aired in Fuji TV's Noitamina late-night programming block this past summer. Aniplex USA licensed the series for home video, and Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired.

The film will open in Japan on March 7, 2014.

Shirobako Movie: Unbox anime's nitty-gritty

From "8½" to "Day for Night" to "Dolemite Is My Signature," movie history is full of filmmaking. The latest addition to this self-referential genre is Tsutomu Mizushima's "Shirobako the Film," an anime about the blood, sweat and beers that brought an animated film on screen. It is the sequel to the television series "Shirobako," which aired from 2014 to 2015 and focused around Aoi Miyamori (voiced by Juri Kimura), a newly minted production assistant at the fictional Musashino Animation who, along with the viewer, discovers the ins and outs of how anime is produced from scratch to screen — and all the speed bumps that pop up along the way. Since canceling an in-progress sequence, the film opens four years later, with the great Musashino Animation a shadow of its former self. With the studio floundering, one of its executives comes to Miyamori with a bold plan: make an original theatrical film to be completed in less than a yea

An anime-inspired campaign by anime director Mads Broni and Passion Animation Studios

MullenLowe partnered with Danish director Mads Broni and Passion Animation Studios to create an anime-inspired advertisement for one of UK's favorite restaurant chains, Wagamama. Called Bowl to Soul, it's based on the brand's affiliation with Japanese food and its founding philosophy that food not only feeds our heart, it "feeds our soul." The ad shows this by demonstrating Wagamama food's restore sensation. Upon taking her first taste, the ad's heroine tumbles into a magical land filled with streaming ramen rivers, ondulating coriander fields and spice fireworks. That doesn't sound bad. And it's a good way to appeal to those of us who haven't appreciated the magic of "your food will come out when it's ready." Created by a mixture of hand-drawn and computer-illustrated artwork, the film brings together a wide range of modern, diverse images and characters, each frame being a unique illustration influenced by anime art.
