Bakuman Live-Action Film Trailer & Thoughts

Full Trailer - 「バクマン。」予告 

Bakuman is one of the first manga series I completed after falling into this wonderful world and to heard it was getting the live action treatment I was a little hesitant due to not enjoying the anime adaptation and utterly loving the manga. However after watching the trailer above I can now say I'm actually really interested to see the complete product. 

Hitoshi Ōne is directing and with the casting of Takeru Satoh starring as Moritaka Mashiro and Ryunosuke Kamiki as Akito Takagi. I'm really interested to see what direction this adoption takes. From the trailer alone it seems to work with the same key characters and points of the original plot, from the illness hospital scene to the 'clash of rivals' which was done in a very interesting way of battle of pens. Where the cast actually seem to fight each other with oversized pens which I cannot wait to see the whole scene of. The whole trailer gave of a very strong feeling of respect to the original work while giving off a very eye catching world for them to develop freely into. 
I really cannot wait to see how this adoption turns out now with a few weeks to wait till its release I'll be waiting with a very open mind for this one.

Set for release October 3, 2015 distributed by Toho.

Japanese band Sakanaction performed the soundtrack for the film, including the theme song "Shin Takarajima" (新宝島?, "New Treasure Island"), which they will release as a single four days before the film's release.
