Share the endless fun of anime, analyze the deepest essence of anime, and unite the power of all anime. Hello everyone! I am Maple Jun.
As we all know, the well-known anime IP owned by Japan, known as the "Kingdom of Anime", occupies half of the anime industry, such as "One Piece", "Naruto" and "Detective Conan", etc. are all Japanese manga works that are familiar to the audience.
However, it is not difficult to find that in recent years, many well-known IP of Japanese comics have been favored by the giants of world-renowned film and television companies, who hope to get a piece of the pie from the two-dimensional field, that is, to take the lead in making classic animation IP live-action, improve attention and ratings, and strive to be the first person to eat crabs.
Therefore, in this regard, it seems that the American Netflix Company (referred to as Netflix) has performed more prominently, looking at the past news, we can find that Netflix has announced the production of live-action versions of works such as Japanese classics or popular IP such as "White Book", "Interstellar Cowboy" and "The Disaster of Saiki Nanxiong", and the interval between the announcement of each work is not very long, giving people a feeling of rushing to "attack the city".
However, seeing the "plunder" of the live-action version of the local anime IP by American companies, Sony Pictures, as a Japanese company, naturally can't watch it. Although Sony Pictures has announced the filming of the live-action version of "One Punch Man", but recently according to the Us "Hollywood Reporter" report, the classic anime god "Saint Seiya", which was born in the 1980s, is finally going to start shooting a live-action version, and the first producer this time is Japan's Sony Pictures, which will cooperate with Japan's Toei Animation Production Company to shoot.
Of course, in addition to announcing the production of the live-action version of "Saint Seiya", the official also announced the list of some participants, such as the goddess Athena, who has participated in films and television works such as "Love Song on the Clouds" and "Annabelle 3: Ghost Baby Home", madison Easterman, and the most important role of the work, Pegasus Hoshiya, is played by the Japanese film and television industry's post-95 rookie Makoto Makoto.
However, when it comes to Makoto Nitta, I believe that those who like Japanese manga works are not strangers, because he has appeared in many manga adaptations of live-action works ("Langke Sword Heart", "JOJO's Wonderful Adventure", "Flower Card Love"). Even in the early live-action work of "One Piece" announced by Netflix, Makoto Nitta still played the role of Sauron in it. So, why did Makoto Nitta, a rising star in Japan, become the darling of the live-action version of the manga?
Born in Los Angeles in 1996, Maeda Maeda, whose original name was Maeda Maeda, is a Japanese actor with American citizenship. Makoto is not a child star, but after watching the video of the stage play "Tears Falling on the Land of Stars", he had the dream of becoming an actor, so it was not until he was 17 years old that he returned to Japan from Los Angeles and began to enter the show business circle.
With slender eyes, thick eyebrows, and a facial contour that reveals a refreshing beauty, Makoto Nitta is one of the actors of the same age group who is expected to be in plain English. One of The added strengths of Makoto is his shy smile, like a character who came out of a long time ago in a girl's manga, which is perhaps why he is often seen on the screen in many comic book movies.
However, Makoto's first time as a protagonist in a film and television work began with the live-action version of the manga movie "Hanapai Love Affair", and won the 40th Japan Academy Awards - Newcomer Actor Award in March 2017, and the stage name "Makoto" was changed to "Makoto Shinda Kenyou" at this time.
In the audience's memory, Makoto has many works that are impressive, such as the science fiction film "Pacific Rim: Thunder Rises Again" in 18 years, as well as the comic book adaptation movie "The Final Chapter of the Wandering Sword Heart" and "JOJO's Wonderful Adventure: Immortal Diamond Chapter 1" and so on. However, the next two classic anime IP "One Piece" and "Saint Seiya" in which Zhen Jianyou participated are also worthy of the expectations of comic fans.
Finally, are you optimistic about the roles of Sauron and Hoshiya played by Makoto Nitta? Feel free to share your views in the comments section.
