Could a Manga Museum become reality? Yes, if the Japanese have any say about it. Japanese lawmakers have formed a caucus to plan a Manga National Center ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The yet unnamed center will focus not only on Manga but it will also showcase Anime and Video Games as part of its exhibits.
In other news, Drifters, an up and coming Anime based on Kouta Hirano's manga of the same name has recently cast Junko Minagawa (Jeanne d'Arc),Kenji Nomura (Gilles de Rais), Junko Kitanishi (Anastasia), and Masahiko Tanaka (Rasputin). The Anime which centers on the real life Samurai Shimazu Toyohisa is due to release soon but has no set date as of yet. Until that time you can check out the trailer below.
Media distribution service Crunchyroll recently announced that it will stream Anne-Happy, the television anime adaptation of Cotoji's Unhappy Go Lucky! comedy manga. The series will premier on April 7th and will stream exactly as it is seen by viewers in Japan. If you've never read the Manga, the series is about a group of girls who have been plagued with misfortune. In fact, they even attend a High School for the unlucky. Despite all this the girls try and make the best of their lot in life and work together to turn their luck around. It's a sweet story and one that I hope the anime developers do justice too.
