THR: What was the most difficult part of the story to portray on film? And anime fans are very passionate, so it’s hard not to care about that, but I tried not to be too concerned about it and make the kind of film I wanted to make. ![]() There are lots of adaptations in Japan, and Gantz was also based on anime. But I didn’t want the film to become a copy of them, so I tried to keep some distance from them. ![]() Shinsuke Sato: I did read the novel and see them, and took a look at the manga. Did you read and watch all of them before making the film? The Hollywood Reporter: There have been a novel, a manga, an anime series and an animated feature of Library Wars.
