NYAFF XX Review: Yuichi Fukuda’s FROM TODAY, IT’S MY TURN!!, A Spirited, Knuckled-Up Live Action Comedy Niche Delight
Live-action adaptations of mangas and animes can be an acquired taste depending on what you enjoy. Yuichi Fukuda’s take on Gintama was a delight in 2017, though it still takes getting used to compared to the animated series’ own aesthetic. Nonetheless, Fukuda has made bank on his share of adapting certain IPs for the screen, and his latest bit of leg work now stems from the mind of mangaka Hiroyuki Nishimori with From Today, It’s My Turn!!, following from Fukuda’s prior legwork on the titular 2018 ten-episode NTV drama. Nishimori’s manga launched in 1988, so it only makes sense that his world, as now reincarnated through Fukuda’s lens, is set in the festive and bustling 1980s, a time when youth rebelled in a delinquent lifestyle. This time, we’re breaking out the school uniforms and pompadours, as Fukuda invites all to the town of 1980s Chiba, inaugurating the feature-length story of […]

With director Yuichi Fukuda, there’s always the promise of something epic in both hilarity and spectacle. He’s since done so in recent memory with Wotakoi: Love Is Hard For Otaku, and with an additional eye for action on the feature film adaptation of his 2018 NTV series manga-adaptation, From Today, It’s My Turn!!: The Movie, and now he’s bringing out the antics once more with actor Yo Oizumi (I Am A Hero) in period warring states romp, New Interpretation Records of the Three Kingdoms. There isn’t any plot info that’s available at present but if the title itself and the trailer above say nothing else, on top of its ensemble cast of actors – many of whom include folks who’ve worked with Fukuda before – it’s safe to suggest fans of the director are gonna be in for a familiar and all the more enjoyable treat.
FROM TODAY, IT’S MY TURN!! Trailer: Kento Kaku And Hideaki Ito Take To The Streets!
I always imagined there would be a Gintama trilogy, though with two movies and two miniseries sets, director Yuichi Fukuda has put in a noble and welcome effort into live-action manga service for the filmgoing crowd. And indeed, the man additionally behind such adaptations as Hentai Kamen, Psychic Kusuo and Wotakoi: Love Is Hard For Otaku, is back with From Today, It’s My Turn!! – best known to manga regulars as Kyo Kara Ore Wa!

It centers on Takashi Mitsuhashi (Kaku) and Shinji Ito (Ito), Nanyo High transfers who, though polar opposites of one another, pair up to be the strongest delinquents of Japan. The cast also features Nana Seino, Kanna Hashimoto, Taiga Nakano and many more. The official trailer is […]
Fukuda's Live-Action GINTAMA Confirms Casting, Possible Plot Details
Oguri Shun and Fukuda Yuchi on the set of GINTAMA (Twitter) News of the live-action adaptation of Sorachi Hideaki’s popular Weekly Shonen Jump manga, Gintama, came as a delightful surprise to me a few months ago. Filming had already went underway and a few miscellaneous set photos started emerging online showing signs of progress following its production wrap back in September. Fukuda Yuichi is directing the film based on the property that sees actor Oguri Shun as Sakata Gintoki, a silver-haired former samurai and founder of his own odd jobs business in an Edo Japan where the arrival and subsequent settlement of the Amanto – a species of alien life, has advanced the nation ahead of its time. Joined by actor Masaki Suda who plays straight-laced Shimura Shinpachi and actress Kashimoto Hanna as the adorable and superstrong Kagura, the three set out on numerous adventures with stories that see them […]
Oguri Shun Leads Fukuda Yuichi's Live-Action Manga, GINTAMA, For 2017
Nobunaga Concerto co-star, actor Oguri Shun first came into my purview with Kitamura Ryuhei’s stellar 2003 manga adaptation, Azumi, and its sequel from Kaneko Shusuke a few years later. He’s since gone onto star in other terrific work like Miike Takashi’s ’07 and ’09 adaptations of the Crows Zero manga before reuniting with Kitamura for the title role in Lupin III and Otomo Keishi’s latest cooky murder suspense thriller, Museum, which opens in November. Moreover, Oguri has gone on to co-write the Suzuki Ryohei-anchored gonzo action adventure manga adaptation Hentai Kamen: Forbidden Super Hero, with writer/director Fukuda Yuichi who also helmed this year’s sequel. Alas, a befitting partnership like this now begs the attention of the manga/anime niche for another in the works, and this time it’s for Sorachi Hideaki’s 2003 best-selling Shonen Jump samurai sci-fi serial, Gintama, which is now poised for a 2017 release from Warner Bros. Japan […]
