This issue of NEO celebrates the upcoming theatrical release of The First Slam Dunk, the wildly successful basketball anime that stormed the box office in Japan. Andrew Osmond delves into the legacy of the series while David West gives his verdict on the movie.
We speak to Emily Rudd, who plays Nami in Netflix's upcoming live action adaptation of one of anime and manga's biggest franchises, One Piece. Rudd and the crew speak about their love for Eiichiro Oda’s manga and what it was like to stand on the deck of the Going Merry. Can this series appeal to diehard One Piece fans and win new ones at the same time?
Cinema goers in Japan get grilled for their reaction to Hayao Miyazaki’s final (?) movie, The Boy and the Heron, previously known as How Do You Live?, and we analyse Studio Ghibli’s marketing gamble for the film.
The cast of Adele Lim’s raucous comedy, Joy Ride, talk about friendship, identity, and smashing stereotypes. We also take a closer look at two recently concluded streaming shows, Heavenly Delusion and Skip and Loafer. Jonathan Clements lends us his expertise to discuss manga anthology Cookie, and extract some of its most interesting stories for a closer look. Not only that, but we also celebrate 11 years in the idol business with Mahiru, and share three delicious recipes from Pippa Middlehurst’s latest book, Simple Noodles. All that, plus our usual dose of news, reviews, and features – only in NEO!
