Still, fans seem to be keeping an optimistic outlook for the upcoming live-action version of samurai/sci-fi tale Gintama.
The live-action Gintama’s version of engineer Gengai Hiraga, portrayed by Tsuyoshi Muro (who’s only 41-years-old), has a fuller, thicker mohawk than his anime/manga counterpart.
Japan is in the middle of a live-action anime and manga adaptation boom, producing more movies and TV series based on animation and comics than ever before.
