I always saw Ninja Kamui as directly created to appeal to Westerns due to Adult Swim being part in charge. I also read that Goro Taniguchi adapted Planetes with a confusing idea as its content does not appeal to Easterns and instead Westerns. Planetes' author Makoto Yukimura happens to be the artist of Vinland Saga which mainly centers on Western settings and while I love it, I fear that Mappa will not touch it again considering it doesn't have the appeal to Japanese that Jujutsu has. I mean when Vinland season 2, there was no preview for a season 3 even though the third story arc was completed and Yukimura is still writing the climax of the manga.
On the other hand, when Jujutsu season 2 ended, Mappa announced they were still working on the Culling Games arc even though by then there was no ending announced as they were still in the middle of the Shibuya arc. Chainsaw Man also seems to have been abandoned by Mappa after only a cour as the movie trailer was months ago. The one that surprised me that was popular in Japan was the second season of Darker than Black which was kinda divisive in Western territories for using a story like Leon: The Professional as its basis meaning the popular Hei turned into a wasted Jean Reno. Not even the Bones artists like Hei's redesign despite the director himself liking it. By the way, was the Ace Attorney anime popular? I really wish they adapted the second trilogy |
