Netflix finally finds a manga hit with ‘One Piece’
Netflix has spent years trying to adapt Japanese manga and anime into live-action TV with little success, but its latest effort, "One Piece", may finally have cracked the code. The US streaming giant's latest show, based on the most famous manga comic of them all, was watched more than 18 million times in its first four days, putting it at the top of the charts. The story of Monkey D Luffy, a boy with a straw hat and stretchy superpowers determined to become king of all pirates by finding a treasure known as one piece, has captivated manga fans since its first editions in 1997. And it should have been a shoo-in for TV success, having already been widely adapted for the screen in a series of animated movies. But manga fans feared the worst before the Netflix live-action version hit the screens in late August. The American giant has tried and failed with other beloved Japanese manga and anime. Its "Fullmetal Alchemist" and "Death Note" failed to convince in 2017 and 2021's "Cowboy Bebop" was ditched after one season, crumbling under the weight of bad reviews. With One Piece, Netflix cannily sought to keep fans onside by holding on to the most valuable commodity: the comic's author, Eiichiro Oda. 'Guard dog' Oda is tightly bound to the comic, having written all the editions for its entire run -- a world record -- and was brought on as series supervisor by Netflix. He was well aware of the challenge. "Various manga had been made into live action, but there was a history of failure," he told the New York Times in a rare interview published in late August. "No one in Japan could name a successful example." He told the paper that Netflix agreed to give him final approval. "I read the scripts, gave notes, and acted as a guard dog to ensure the material was being adapted in the correct way," he said. Reviews have been broadly positive, with Charles Pulliam-Moore writing on The Verge website the series "gets all of the important things right". He wrote that the series, with a budget of more than $100 million, had put huge efforts into re-creating Oda's vision in its production design and populating its scenes with a cast of whimsical background characters. This effort, he wrote, meant the series "is able to feel like a living, breathing place with history that you can step into". And that history still has much left to be told -- the first run of eight episodes covers only the first 12 volumes of a comic that now boasts roughly 100.

From ‘90s to Gen Z: ‘Tabing Ilog the Musical’ to revisit beloved TV series
[caption id="attachment_173922" align="aligncenter" width="525"] Angela Ken | PHOTOGRAPH COURTESY OF IG/ Angela Ken[/caption] [caption id="attachment_173923" align="aligncenter" width="525"] Reiven Umali | PHOTOGRAPH COURTESY OF IG/ REIVEN Umali[/caption] Who will be the new faces of the iconic ABS-CBN ‘90s teen series Tabing Ilog? The beloved television series has been adapted into a musical titled Tabing Ilog the Musical, to be directed by Phil Noble with award-winning composer and lyricist Vince De Jesus (Himala The Musical, Care Divas) providing the show’s music. The cast search was held on 19 August at the PETA Theater Center in Quezon City, with some of the rising names under Star Magic trying their luck, including Vivoree, Sheena Belarmino, Angela Ken, Reiven Umali, Kobie Brown and more. Tabing Ilog the Musical is a collaboration between ABS-CBN and the Philippine Education Theater Association. The iconic ‘90s series will be revamped to fit the narrative of the new generation, highlighting mental health and modern relationship challenges in a fast-paced digital landscape. “The show will speak to the general public. Hindi lang kabataan makaka -relate sa characters, pati magulang mauunawaan nila,” promised Star Magic head Laurenti Dyogi. The ABS-CBN and PETA stage musical will be a different production from Teatro Kapamilya’s Tabing Ilog the Musical in 2020, which was cut short due to the Covid-19 pandemic. That show had been slated to run from 7 March to 26 April 2020. “Tabing Ilog: was a teen drama series that aired from 14 March 1999 until 19 October 2003. It followed the adventures and adolescent challenges of eight friends — Kaye Abad, Paolo Contis, John Lloyd Cruz, Desiree del Valle, Patrick Garcia, Baron Geisler, Paula Peralejo and Jodi Sta. Maria — whose now-stellar careers were jumpstarted by the series. The post From ‘90s to Gen Z: ‘Tabing Ilog the Musical’ to revisit beloved TV series appeared first on Daily Tribune......»»
