Shonen Jump, one of the most beloved and longest-running manga magazines on Earth is once again reinventing itself. First printed in 1968, the publication has hosted its American localization as an online magazine since 2012 and, come December 17th, will offer a subscription service delivering the latest chapters from popular series the same that that they’re released in Japan.

As Shonen Jump Editor in Chief, Hisashi Sasaki, explains in the video above, the key to the company’s recent successes lie in its policy of releasing free chapters for its most popular series — including blockbusters like Naruto/Boruto, One Piece, Dragon Ball and My Hero Academia — though they’re typically delayed by a week or so. However, readers willing to part with $ 2 every month will receive access to these chapters the on same day that they’re released in Japan, as well as access to nearly the entirety of Shonen Jump’s 10,000-plus chapter English-language back catalog. That’s actually less than what the publication currently charges for an annual subscription.

Shonen Jump’s plan puts it in league with popular western services like Marvel Unlimited Comics, which hosts more than 20,000 titles for $ 10 a month, or ComiXology, the $ 6/month service that grants access to thousands of manga, indie and mainstream comic series. Similarly, anime subscription sites like Crunchyroll also offer selected manga series, though the selection is limited and typically limited to titles with shows that are also on the service.

The La Manga Club in SpainPR

The La Manga Club in Spain

It’s clearly a place that takes its sport seriously and feels essentially like a small town dedicated to sports, with eight football pitches, three golf courses and top-notch cricket facilities. Boots, shin-pads, goalkeeping gloves, oh and sun cream too – all the necessities packed and for the first time in months I’m looking forward to taking my son football training.

This time, instead of the chilly Hertfordshire ground, we’re off to the manicured pitches of La Manga Club in south-east Spain where Alex, 13, has signed up for the Chelsea Football Club Foundation’s Soccer School.

It is the perfect solution for a family holiday, particularly if the children are at that difficult age – too young for sambucas and too old for sandcastles.

For a couple of weeks over summer, a team of coaches teach young players the skills that may make them Premier League stars of the future.

The 10 young participants line up on a full-size pitch for three hours each morning, where the coaches make them feel they are in a professional environment, taking them through a variety of high-quality attacking, defensive touch and passing drills.

Then they play a series of matches before finishing off with a stretching session – just like the pros – and all against a spectacular mountain backdrop.

This place has top football pedigree. Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United are just a few of the clubs that train here and when we were there, the England Under-20s women’s team played Norway in a friendly, as did the USA and China, who came with a coachload of fans.

La Manga feels distinctly like an Olympic Village, with people dragging golf or cricket bags, some clad in club or school tracksuits, others in the lurid casual attire beloved of golfers the world over.

La Manga Club in SpainPR

La Manga Club has eight football pitches, three golf courses and top-notch cricket facilities

At its centre is a five-star hotel and dotted around the tree-lined roads are hundreds of villas, some grand enough to house superstar sportsmen, while others are simply lovely holiday accommodation for those of more modest talents. Thankfully, there is a free shuttle bus so there is no need for budding footballers to emulate West Bromwich Albion’s stars on their infamous training camp in Barcelona by stealing a taxi to get home.

Alex is in his element here and each day comes off the pitch enthusing about the training and looking forward to the next session.

And for anyone who fancies putting their newly-honed skills into practice, each evening there is a pay-as-you-go “Champions League” tournament for children of all ages.

There is an array of accommodation choices at La Manga and we’re staying in one of the modern apartments in the Las Lomas complex. There are two spacious double bedrooms, a living room and kitchen, overlooking the village and sports fields, with the port of La Manga in the distance.

While football training is under way we head to the spa with enormous gym and indoor swimming pool. There’s even a high-performance centre where serious sports people can have their athletic technique analysed – needless to say, we passed on that and indulged in massages instead.

Tennis features heavily, the 28 courts catering for beginners to top players. Alex has a session with coach James, relishing the new experience of playing on a clay court.

The area is also ideal for cycling and we spend an enjoyable afternoon whizzing around among some of the resort’s grander villas before heading along dusty farm tracks to the quiet village of Los Belones.

The beach at La MangaPR

With the sheer amount of exercise options refuelling is of the utmost importance, even if you have been doing little more than lounging around the pool at La Manga club, which has a host of excellent restaurants.

Our favourite was tapas restaurant La Bodega, with the grilled Iberian pork dishes and meatballs a highlight.

La Cala, the resort’s private beach, is set in a rocky cove, with the restaurant terrace reaching out over the sea. A host of cafés around the club are perfect for light bites and there is also an American diner, Italian restaurant and Irish pub – where the armchair sportsman can enjoy a drink while watching other people exercising on a big screen.

Off the resort a short drive away is the historic town of Cartagena, whose harbour was a key base for Carthaginian and Roman forces more than 2,000 years ago.

Looking up at the imposing cliffs it is easy to imagine the tactics and sounds of ancient warfare, with troops lining up to repel invading forces.

These days the cruise ships and pleasure boats that arrive in the thriving harbour are given a rather more pleasant welcome. There’s also a Roman amphitheatre museum, where the sports heroes of the 1st century did battle in the gladiatorial arena and losers were dissected so their blood and bones could be sold to fans as souvenirs and medicines.

Sol Y Sombra cafe at the complexPR

Losing one of the evening football matches doesn’t seem so bad now.

The town’s newly-restored Roman theatre does not have such a gory history, but is a lovely spot to sit in the auditorium and picture ancient dramas before heading back through the winding cobbled streets.

Then it’s off to the football school again. As staunch Newcastle United fans we don’t have many happy memories regarding Chelsea, however this break is certainly one of them.

  • Robert Rodriguez and producer Jon Landau (“Avatar”) talked to Business Insider at CinemaCon about the evolution of bringing “Alita: Battle Angel” to the screen.
  • It was originally a project James Cameron was to make, after he discovered the manga around 2000. However, the success of “Avatar” changed everything.
  • Rodriguez has resurrected the project, and explained how it will still feel like a Cameron movie, and why it won’t make the mistakes of recent manga release, “Ghost in the Shell.”

Before James Cameron made “Avatar” and broke all box-office records, he was planning on making the big-screen adaptation of “Battle Angel Alita,” the famous manga series created by Yukito Kishiro.

In fact, Cameron’s deep dive around 2000 into the rich material about a cyborg named Alita (played in the movie by Rose Salazar) who tries to rediscover her past after being found in a garbage heap by a cybernetics doctor, wasn’t just going to be a single movie but a franchise.

Are you ready to go back to Back to the Future? The beloved 1980s science-fiction trilogy received a modern-day revival of sorts in 2015, when the “future” date that Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) traveled to in their DeLorean time machine actually came to pass. For a full year, it was countdown clocks, Marty McFly cosplay, and special screenings of the beloved film. Most importantly, a whole new generation of movie lovers were familiarized with Marty and Doc.

Now, fans can add one more item to their growing collection of Back to the Future paraphernalia. A Back to the Future manga comic book is in the works from One-Punch Man artist, Yuusuke Murata.

Didn’t know you wanted a manga version of Back to the Future? Well, you’re getting it, courtesy of Murata and Back to the Future screenwriter Bob Gale, who will supervise the adaptation. Titled BTTF, the manga series will adapt the three films and feature “story content not seen in the film,” according to Anime News Network. Could this mean that the series will expand beyond the story told in the films? Only the future can tell.

Murata will reportedly be adapting the original script by Bob Zemeckis and Bob Gale, which could mean that he’ll explore some of the scrapped ideas for the film. The original ending for the first Back to the Future saw Marty and Doc venturing to a nuclear test site in the ’50s, using an atomic blast to send Marty back to the ’80s. The ending we see in the film instead has the pair using a lightning strike hitting the old clock tower.

Murata is currently working on the adaptation, but manga magazine Kono Manga ga Sugoi! has a page from the first chapter’s color opening (which you can also see here), as well as Murata’s collage of characters and images that will appear in the series.

back to the future manga 1

The manga will be serialized on the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! website at a date that’s yet to be determined. Collected editions will follow in Japan in April, though no publisher has been announced for a U.S. release. Currently, IDW is the North American publisher for the Back to the Future comics, so they seem to be the most likely company, though the rights could easily go to another manga publisher.

Back to the Future, with its zany and somewhat convoluted time travel plots, seems ripe for a manga adaptation — especially one from an author as irreverent and talented as Murata. Murata’s work on One-Punch Man, an insanely popular absurdist manga series that began as a web comic and went on to become one of the most popular anime series in Japan, bodes well for the Back to the Future manga.

This weekend brings another Netflix original movie to the streaming service, and it might be their most controversial yet. Death Note is an American adaptation of the famous manga of the same name, and while there has been some backlash about the whitewashing of the cast, it sounds like the most offensive thing about the movie is the fact that it doesn’t do anything fresh with the material to justify it. There’s nothing explicitly American about this new take on Death Note from director Adam Wingard other than focusing on a mostly white cast in a condensed adaptation that lacks any of the substance of the original.

Check out what some of the early Death Note reviews have to say below.

First up, for those who aren’t familiar with Death Note, you can watch the trailer here, or just read the official synopsis:

What if you had the power to decide who lives and who dies? We suggest you obey the rules. Based on the famous Japanese manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, Death Note follows a high school student who comes across a supernatural notebook, realizing it holds within it a great power; if the owner inscribes someone’s name into it while picturing their face, he or she will die. Intoxicated with his new godlike abilities, the young man begins to kill those he deems unworthy of life.

Based on the manga by writer Tsugmi Ohba and artist Takeshi Obata, which has been previously adapted into live-action movies and shows, video games, and even a musical, Wingard’s film stars Nat Wolff (Paper Towns), Willem Dafoe (Spider-Man), Margaret Qualley (The Leftovers), Lakeith Stansfield (Get Out), Masi Oka (Heroes), and Shea Whigham (Boardwalk Empire).

Eric Walkuski at JoBlo writes:

“There is definitely something lost in translation in bringing DEATH NOTE to life as an English language film for the first time. It’s not a terrible film by any means, but it’s frequently an awkward one. It is clearly ambitious, with enough spirit from the cast and crew to make it look as if there’s something meaningful brewing underneath the surface gloss, but it keeps tripping over its own feet thanks to a storyline that appears to keep changing the rules as it goes along. Furthermore, it glosses over the most interesting part of its premise – would you play God if you could? – in favor of a fairly ho-hum cat-and-mouse thriller angle.”

David Ehrlich at IndieWire was willing to forgive the whitewashing of the anime if it explored the thematic material in a new way by setting it in America, but it fails spectacularly:

“Whitewashing is never a purely aesthetic act; it’s always an indication of a deeper rot. In this case, it pointed toward an inability or unwillingness to meaningfully engage with the source material. The only reason to take such a uniquely Japanese story and transplant it to Seattle is to explore how its thorny moral questions might inspire different answers in an American context, so for this retread to all but reduce America to its whiteness indicates an absence of context more than anything else. It’s the most glaring symptom of a film that utterly fails to investigate its premise and wastes a handful of goofy performances and a gluttonous degree of hyper-violence in the service of a total dead end. Why go through all the trouble of setting “Death Note” in America if you’re not going to set it in the real one?”

Julia Alexander at Polygon has a laundry list of problems with the movie:

“Death Note ignores its characters, choosing to put its emphasis on the physical horrors associated with the notebook-that-kills instead of the psychological drama that develops around it.

Death Note is turned into a run-of-the-mill American horror flick, and not a good one. It would be one thing if Death Note managed to accomplish its goal of taking another idea and morphed that into an interesting, aesthetic-driven horror, but that’s not what Death Note does.

Death Note is a lazy, unambitious, forgettable movie that lacks any imagination, heart or entertaining values.”

Blair Marnell at IGN says this is an extremely condensed version of Death Note, and there’s at least one great performance:

“Death Note adds more teenage melodrama and condenses the story of the original manga in a way that isn’t always satisfying to watch. While the leads falter, the supporting cast steps up in a big way to keep their parts in the movie grounded and entertaining. Willem Dafoe’s Ryuk was an absolutely inspired piece of casting, and he easily carried his scenes. If there is a sequel, bringing him back as Ryuk is a must.”

Death Note Reviews

Inkoo Kang at The Wrap couldn’t stop eye-rolling:

“I’ll have to trust the breadth and popularity of the 14-year-old “Death Note” franchise in Japan — which encompasses more than 100 issues of manga, two TV series, four live-action movies, several video games and a stage musical — that there’s something, anything, remotely interesting about its premise.

Director Adam Wingard’s American remake for Netflix is the latest anime adaptation to get mangled (and whitewashed) in translation; the new horror-thriller is cheesy, asinine, convoluted and ludicrous. On the plus side, if your eyeballs need a vigorous workout, this will have them rolling nonstop.”

Gary Garrison at The Playlist found the movie to be thoughtless:

“The real affront though, is the general lack of thought that seems to permeate throughout the film. Not only is much of the plot nonsensical — the climax is nearly hilarious — and the tone so oblivious, but the Wingard and co. seem to have no idea of the cultural appropriation they are undertaking. (While it was rewritten to be set in America and star Americans, as Julie Muncy wrote in io9, such adaptations “threatens to erase the cultural particularities of the original work, and it sends the message that the only way to adapt something to an American audience is to make it whiter.”) And it’s this apparent thoughtlessness that’s so frustrating.”

Emma Simmonds at The List thinks the movie doesn’t seem to have any real ambition:

“The tortured teen romance (à la Heathers) unfolds against beautifully rendered comic book-esque constructions (askew angles, stark contrasts, cascades of colour). But more of Dafoe’s beastie would have been welcome, flirtations with frights merely frustrate, and it never gets close to exploring the genuine moral conundrum of the notebook itself (the sequence where Light goes power-mad whips past in a montage). By combining elements of what feels like everything, Death Note struggles to wow as anything.”

***

It would be one thing if the American adaptation of the iconic manga tried to make the story uniquely American, adapting it for our own culture. But instead the approach to the material appears to be uninspired and lacks any real substance. Furthermore, the movie itself poorly seems to poorly straddle the line between comedy and horror, not to mention streamlining a story that could benefit from giving our characters time to absorb what it is they’re dealing with.

If you’d like to find out for yourself, Death Note comes to Netflix on August 25, 2017.

In Japan, Pro gamers can be a bit of a big deal. Yet, despite their celebrity status, there’s only one gamer who’s managed to get their own manga series. Daigo Umehara is the man with that honor. Considered to be one of the best Street Fighter players on the planet, he currently holds a Guinness World Record for being the game’s most successful pro fighter. Now, thanks to his huge popularity, UDON Entertainment has opted to bring that manga series over to the west.

The series chronicles Umehara’s rise to the top of the arcade fighting scene and is entitled Daigo The Beast. Exploring the real-world events that built the fighting game community, the series also looks to shed light on his strategies and the “near psychic ability” that allows Daigo to predict his opponent’s attacks so accurately.

In case you were wondering what makes Daigo so special, you can see a classic clip of him absolutely destroying his opponent below.

The manga is officially released in December priced at $ 19.99, but early copies of Daigo The Beast Volume 1 will be available at the annual fighting game tournament Evolution Champion Series (or EVO) later this month. EVO takes place in Vegas from July 14th-16th.

Let’s face it. The live-action manga and anime adaptations that the Japanese movie industry has been churning out recently don’t look all that cool. This, however, does.

Ajin debuted as a manga in 2012, telling the story of a new type of human, called “Ajin,” that are unable to die. Even if these demi-humans are “killed,” they immediately regenerate to a healthy state. It was later turned into anime for feature films and TV.

It certainly seems like a live-action version would work well, because it doesn’t have to contend with iconic costumes (or hair!) in the same way other manga movie adaptations do.

What do you think?

Ajin hits Japanese theaters on September 30. No word yet about an international release.

After making terrific horror movies like You’re Next and The Guest, director Adam Wingard was supposed to break out in a big way last year with the very fun Blair Witch, a film that didn’t manage to find its feet at the box office. However, it looks like that big breaking-out just got delayed to 2017, because the trailer for his new Netflix movie, Death Note, has arrived and it looks like something that will turn a lot of heads.

Based on the manga by writer Tsugumi Ohba and artist Takeshi Obata, Death Note is built around a terrific premise. A young man (played here by Nat Wolff) discovers a supernatural notebook that kills anyone whose name he writes within its pages. Naturally, he sets out to kill “those he deems unworthy of life,” which is not an especially kind or comforting collection of words. Also on hand: a menacing spirit named Ryuk who’s voiced by the great Willem Dafoe (whose voice often sounds demonic when he’s not playing CGI monstrosities). Also on hand: Shea Whigham and there are few character actors I’d rather watch these days than Shea Whigham.

The trailer was initially revealed on Netflix’s Twitter account, but you can watch it in the YouTube embed below.

Death Note is hugely popular in Japan, where the manga has inspired an anime series, live-action movies, a live-action television show, video games, soundtracks, and even a stage musical. While it has a cult following elsewhere, this film will be many viewers’ first exposure to this world and these characters. Heck, it will also be many viewers’ first exposure to Wingard, a filmmaker who deserves a bigger following.

There’s not too much to go on in this trailer, which is very much a teaser. The basic premise is laid-out, there’s all kinds of apocalyptic imagery, and we get a very quick look at Ryuk. It’s all very intriguing and like David Ayer’s upcoming Bright, it looks like Netflix is working with a true Hollywood-sized budget here.

Death Note is set to arrive on Netflix on August 25, 2017. Like most other Netflix original movies, it will not see a theatrical release, for better or worse. Here’s the official synopsis:

Based on the famous Japanese manga written by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, Death Note follows a high school student who comes across a supernatural notebook, realizing it holds within it a great power; if the owner inscribes someone’s name into it while picturing their face, he or she will die.
