“Kingdom” Japanese Theatrical Poster
At this year’s Anime Expo, Funimation will be screening Kingdom and Tokyo Ghoul S, two Live-action Japanese films based on the popular manga by Yasuhisa Hara and Sui Ishida, respectively.
From director Shinsuke Sato (Gantz) comes Kingdom, which follows a young boy (Kento Yamazaki, Death Note) who dreams of becoming the greatest general of the Qin Kingdom.
Directing duo Takuya Kawasaki and Kazuhiko Hiramaki present Tokyo Ghoul S, the sequel to Tokyo Ghoul, which follows the further adventures of the ghoul-human hybrid, played by Masataka Kubota (Rurouni Kenshin).
Of course, you can expect to see Funimation release both of these films on Blu-ray/DVD at a later date. Visit Anime Expo for more details, which takes place on July 4-7, 2019 (plus Pre-Show Night on July 3) in Los Angeles (via ANN).
Yuji Shimomura looks to still have the goods! I haven’t watched the live action Bleach yet, but I’m glad he’s still incorporating everything he’s done in Versus, Devil May Cry, and Bayonetta.
