The legendary manga Gunnm is about to come out in theaters this years. I've been looking at the trailer and despite looking good, I didn't for some unknown reasons feel it. Full Metal Alchemist tanked in Japan, Ghost in the Shell tanked in US, DBZ... I'm not even talking about it. And an adaptation of Saint Seiya was (a while ago) in project but when the creator of the manga, Masami Kurumada, was shown the first footage of what the movie was going to be, he backed out.
It's been 10 years or so that we have been submerged by the wave of Superheros, Marvel and DC are not done yet, they have movies planned for the 2021 calendar. Even Disney is adapting his tentpole animated movies into live action movies.
What is happening? Why mangas have such a hard time to be adapted?
