However, director Bong Joon-ho’s Okja is the closest thing that we may ever get to a live action Studio Ghibli film, and if anyone wants to turn The Host and Snowpiercer (both terrific movies) into awesome anime series, I wouldn’t diss the effort.
In fact, just go watch Bong Joon-ho movies today: Parasite, Okja, Snowpiercer, The Host, Mother, Memories of Murder and the rest.
And that’s nice and all, but I feel like it’s avoiding the REAL issue: What do the nominees think about anime and manga?
