Hollywood is back to mess up your favorite anime. If you think you've had enough cancer, get ready for the most likely, biggest epic fail live action adaptation of an anime / game series. Ambitious film makers are already working their heads on Naruto. Yes, it has been the bad news for more than a month now.

Lionsgate announced the big news through Jump Festa and revealed their plans to everyone. Michael Gracey, the visual effects head of Ned Kelly and The Magician will be directing the film. What gives us a spark of hope that everything will work out just fine is the involvement of Naruto's creator Masashi Kishimoto in the said film.



Fans on the other hand, have been whining all over on different social media platforms. As most or maybe all Hollywood live action films based from an anime series sucked big time, a Trump-presidency-like frustration is understandable.

So, the BIG question is the casting. Who plays Naruto? Michael Cera? Zac Efron? Justin Bieber?



What about Sakura? Jennifer Lawrence? Selena Gomez? Miley Cyrus?

Just by thinking about it makes me cringe. Make sure you have enough vomit bags with you. Good luck to us.

We've seen Team Rocket got roasted, burnt, frozen, stoned, electrocuted, poisoned, catapulted and all in almost every episode in the Pokémon anime series. But not this time.

Pokémon Sun and Moon anime surprises its fans with something new. The plot shows a typical anime series set-up. Ash and his friends were having a fun time at the beach. Meanwhile, Team Rocket's boss, Giovanni himself, has contacted Jessie and James to check whether they have captured some strong Pokémon in the Alola region. They haven't captured a single one so they felt the need to lie.

This gave Jessie and James the motivation to comb the area and see what they could find or possibly catch. They ended up fishing nearby but got no luck. James ultimately decided to wear a scuba suit and scouted the waters where he encountered a Mareanie (Japanese: Hidoide). According to the Pokémon lore, Mareanie loves eating Corsola — which happened to look the same as James' helmet. The poor guy got attacked by Mareanie and was poisoned. James faced turned purple and it made him look like a male mate in the eyes of Mareanie. As expected, it immediately fell in love with him.

Ash appeared on the scene with his Pokémon. With the unwavering obsession into stealing Pikachu away, they challenged the forever-young trainer in a Pokémon battle. The normal scenario was fans watching Team Rocket getting their ass whooped. This time however, is totally different as the odds aligned for them to gain the upper hand. To emphasize, they fought without playing any dirty tricks.

Mimikyu who has been traveling with TR the entire time and absolutely hates Pikachu was the first one to crack. It happily launched some deadly attacks upon seeing its rival with the hopes to land a successful blow. Madly in-love with James, Mareanie on the other hand, fought with all its might defeating Ash's Rowlet (Mukuroh). After Mareanie created a smoke screen with its attack, Mimikyu emerge and critically hit Pikachu with its tail. The love and hate chemistry made it possible to defeat Ash in this battle. Looks like TR has gone far stronger with Mimikyu and Mareanie joining their team.

Jessie: Did we just...


Watch the Pokémon battle scene right here:



Jessie had a Yu-Gi-Oh! crazy moment while James and Meowth literally cried after winning fair & square. The entire Team Rocket couldn't believe it at first. That moment of victory was sweet as if it has been dipped in a jar of honey for twenty years. Not sure with others, but I cried while watching that unforgettable scene. I share the same views as The Senpai King:


Team Rocket just made history and we look forward for more successful fights.

I completely understand why manga artists have such windblown workspaces. While wearing an artist's pair of shoes, I can say that it's all because of the worrisome deadlines. Bakuman and Sekaiichi Hatsukoi spotlights how working for a manga publishing company makes some characters' life look unkempt.

They say how a person maintains his work environment reflects his attitude toward work and life. But still, the world of Japanese manga is too busy to mind about that. Some of them may have been implementing the "spick and span"rule every single day or has no problem letting a service guy do the cleaning chores. Unfortunately, this may not be an easy task for others.

Let's start checking on Hayao Miyazaki's work station.

Neat, eh? That was him working on one of his desks.

Time to meet the messiest manga artist workspaces of all.


4 Manga Creators With The Messiest Workspaces

Rumiko Takahashi (Urusei Yatsura)


Artist of Inuyasha and Urusei Yatsura, Rumiko Takahashi loves collecting paper buildings. You'll see paper works stacked and piled up all over her desks.

Tite Kubo (Bleach)

Bleach manga artist Tite Kubo also has issues with housekeeping. At first look, the place looked well-kept as the floors shine like new.

Delving deeper into his cave, you will notice random tools and clutter on his desks. Clothes, boxes, papers, bottles, canisters are free to seat wherever they want to stay.

Look at the evidence which shows that Kubo's assistants maintain the cleanliness of their work station unlike their sensei.

Eiichiro Oda (One Piece)


Next workspace raided is of someone who tries to keep up with his crazy schedule and deadlines. The hard-working Eiichiro Oda who gave us One Piece have plenty of scribbles, ink, cigarette butts and pencil strewn ashes on his desk.

The work station appeared like a wok with all the clutter mixed to form one delicious recipe. Not sure about the delicious part.

But with his great output, I think we can forgive Oda and let him just do his work. Unlike the next sensei famous for a lot of things. And we're saying this with love and concern, of course.

Yoshihiro Togashi (Hunter x Hunter)

Lastly, but of course not someone who has the least mess to deal with is Hunter x Hunter / Yu Yu Hakusho creator Yoshihiro Togashi. This is an old photo of him procrastinating in the sea of trash at his own work space. It concerns us a little as messy work desks are pretty understandable for a busy person. However, flooding your home with clutter makes you a legend in this particular list.

The amount of mess to clean could take years, not to mention the back pain you'll gain from picking those junk and throwing them away. Now we know why Hunter x Hunter suffers a great hiatus. Can someone initiate a gofundme campaign to sponsor a regular housekeeping service?

Another reason for Hunter x Hunter fans to be jealous and/or maybe, annoyed.

Jun Togawa, 55, a Japanese idol singer famous for her avant-garde fashion, unconventional music and harsh vocal style, has released an album with rock/metal band Vampilia. After the success of her CD Togawa Fiction (2004) with the Jun Togawa Band, Watashiwa ga Nako Hototogisu (I Am Singing Cuckoo) takes everyone back to her 35-year career. The release includes nine rearrangements of her past hits by Vampilia and the new single which has the same title as the album.

Manga artist Yoshihiro Togashi, 50, (Hunter x Hunter, Yu Yu Hakusho) has drawn two portraits of avant-garde musicians to accompany the release.

Togawa and Vampilia, collaborated and performed together last January 13 at Tokyo Liquidroom and Osaka's Umeda Club Quattro.

Meanwhile, Togashi is currently on hiatus from the Hunter x Hunter series due to recurring lower back pain. Despite this ailment, this has not prevented the mangaka from drawing a magazine cover and attending a party of his friend, Osamu Akimoto. All of this happened during the last half of 2016.
