The modern landscape of Japanese cinema features no shortage of genre fare taking their inspiration and/or origins from the world of anime. Most of those adaptations, though, arrived several years after their series premiere or original broadcast, which makes the new effort from director Yusuke Ishida quite curious, with his latest venture being a live-action version of “Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead” now screening on Netflix the same year as a series adaptation appears on Crunchyroll.

Two years after co-starring in Netflix‘s hit “Red Notice” with Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot is back in the Top 10 charts for the week of August 7 with her action-thriller “Heart of Stone.” Read on for this week’s analysis.
Gadot’s undeniable star power was on full display as “Heart of Stone” only premiered on the streamer this past Friday, and it was able to easily top the English-language list with 33.1 million views worldwide. It was the #1 watched film in most of the Americas (except Canada), Africa, Asia and Europe, and a great start for what should be another Netflix hit. “Red Notice” is famously Netflix’s most-watched movie ever, with 230.9 million global views total, but “Heart of Stone” will give Gadot a good opportunity to show that she doesn’t need the boys to get viewers watching.

Thanks to Japan’s Yurei, a rich culture of art concerning the supernatural, specifically horror elements, the anime and manga scene has been chock-full of good horror content since the very beginning of the genre. The artistic freedom that manga allows the creators to work with makes its presence felt in a unique way through sci-fi and horror works. From that aspect, the zombie horror subgenre, which was once more popular in the Western landscape, is gradually gaining its foothold in manga as well. If the recently released live-action adaptation of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead is any indication, mangakas have already created unique narrative structures to interpret the zombie subgenre in various ways.
Zom 100 delves into the delineation of human existence in contemporary Japan, questioning the scope life provides even in the midst of the zombie apocalypse by taking the characters through a journey in a changed world.
