Adult Swim is making my day at the Annecy Animation Festival by announcing two new animation projects with adaptations of Anthony Bourdain‘s Get Jiro! and Jillian Tamaki’s SuperMutant Magic Academy. I’m a massive fan of both books, especially SuperMutant Magic Academy. This news adds to several exciting announcements from Annecy, including green lights for Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: Moon Girl’s Lab, the new Regular Show and Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends series, and more.
The adaptation of Anthony Bourdain’s graphic novel, Get Jiro!, hails from Briand Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka, co-writers of Sharper and producers of NBC’s Superstore. Published by Vertigo, Get Jiro! has the following synopsis:
In a not-too-distant future of food-obsessed L.A., where master chefs rule the town like crime lords and people literally kill for a seat at the best restaurant, Jiro, a renegade and ruthless sushi...

Annecy, France — During today’s Warner Bros. Discovery Adult Animation Showcase at the Annecy Animation Festival, the company unveiled two new series, “Get Jiro!,” based on the late Anthony Bourdain’s graphic novels of the same name, and “Super Mutant Magic Academy” from “Regular Show” creator J.G. Quintel and Jillian Tamaki.
Created by Briand Gatewood and Alessandro Tanaka, co-writers of “Sharper” and producers of NBC’s “Superstore,” “Get Jiro!” unspools in a near-future version of Los Angeles and follows the mysterious sushi chef Jiro in a brutal environment where hungry patrons will kill to get a table at the most prestigious restaurants.
Bourdain “was a big comic fan, a big anime fan. It was a huge anime fan. ‘Mind Game’ from Studio 4ºC was his favorite movie. When I got to Warner Brothers Animation, ‘Get Jiro’ was one of the first things that I optioned from DC,” said added Peter Girardi,...

Adult Swim is cooking up two new series, one of which adapts the late Anthony Bourdain’s graphic novels.
Ahead of Warner Bros. Discovery’s adult animation showcase being held Friday at the Annecy Animation Festival, The Hollywood Reporter can exclusively reveal that Get Jiro! has received a series order from Adult Swim. The animated half-hour project is based on the New York Times best-selling DC/Vertigo graphic novels written by famed chef and TV personality Bourdain and Joel Rose, with accompanying artwork from Langdon Foss and Alé Garza.
Set in the near future, the show centers on a mysterious, revenge-focused sushi chef named Jiro in a version of Los Angeles where customers resort to murder to secure a table at coveted restaurants.

Hiroshi Tamaki is another actor that has recently turned director, as in the case of Kengo Kora. His own short has boxing as its main premise, but essentially deals with the concept of the self through a rather philosophical approach.
Count 100 is screening at Short Shorts Film Festival and Asia
Kago is a professional boxer that made it to the top, becoming the Japanese lightweight champion two years ago. Shortly after, however, he was defeated, and he never managed to bounce back from the loss. Currently he can barely box, while his girlfriend, who followed him to the city they live now to support his boxing career, is completely fed up with him. Beaten both metaphorically and literally, Kago receives a leaflet by a stranger on the street and decides to check it out, only to find himself facing a creature that soon assumes his own appearance, and promises to make his life better,...

Makoto Shinkai’s new anime adventure “Suzume” hits American theaters this weekend after taking the world by storm. Since its Berlin Film Festival premiere, critics have praised this coming-of-age tale about a teenager who lost her mother in the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and about the many ways natural disasters have radically changed Japan.
And on top of all of that, there’s a chase scene between a talking cat and a man transformed into a walking three-legged chair.
That blend of wild fantasy and human drama has been at the heart of much of Shinkai’s work. The acclaimed filmmaker has become a box office titan in Japan since the release of his 2016 movie “Your Name,” which tells the story of two teenagers swapping bodies as they struggle to save thousands from a meteor that could level an entire town.

Although anime master Makoto Shinkai has been consumed by cataclysmic disasters in his last three Japanese blockbusters — “Your Name,” “Weathering With You,” and “Suzume” (opening April 14 domestically through Crunchyroll) — the latest marks his most personal and ambitious film to date. That’s because “Suzume” was more directly inspired by the massive earthquake that hit the Tōhoku region of Japan in 2011, causing a nuclear meltdown. It’s about the titular teenager attempting to close supernatural doors throughout Japan to stop a chain of earthquakes from spreading.
“With that earthquake, that peaceful daily life ended suddenly, and it made me realize that we live side by side with something very phenomenal,” Shinkai told IndieWire through an interpreter. “Even in Tokyo, the ground shook quite a bit, so everyone was evacuated to a nearby gymnasium at an elementary school. I was fortunately close enough to be able to walk home. I remember just going home,...

Sequel to “After Spring, the Tamaki Family…” which focused on the birthday celebration of grandma Tamaki in 2015, “After Winter” sheds its light on her death in 2022, essentially concluding the homage/tribute to a the matriarch of a family descended from Taiwanese immigrants who live on Ishigaki Island, Okinawa Prefecture.
The Sunny Side of the Street is screening at Osaka Asian Film Festival
Starting with some footage from the previous film, the documentary then moves to a few moments before the death of Tamayo Tamaki, with the family members essentially waiting for her to die, although not in eagerness, but in complete sadness, as the tears of one of her relatives talking to the camera highlights. The actual funeral and the rituals involved follow next, in the lengthiest part of the 17 minute short, with the placement of her remains in an urn being probably the most impressive moment in the movie.

"Ouran High School Host Club" is beloved for its cheeky comedy, but the anime series is especially groundbreaking because it challenges gender roles.
The series revolves around Haruhi, a female scholarship student at a private school. When she accidentally breaks a vase in one of the club rooms, she finds herself indebted to the Host Club, a group of boys that entertain and flirt with schoolgirls for a fee. Mistaken for a male student due to her short hair and androgynous outfit, Haruhi starts working as an errand boy to pay off her debt. When the other club members make her a host, her soft-spoken nature becomes popular with the clients.
When Haruhi first appears on the show, she is dressed in a "commoner's" outfit because she can't afford her school's uniform. The male and female uniforms differ drastically, so her gender-ambiguous clothing leads the Hosts to believe that she is a boy.
