Viz Media Signs Deal With United Talent Agency To Create Live-Action Content!

Creating the greatest combination since peanut butter and Nutella, anime giant Viz Media is partnering the United Talent Agency (also known as UTA) with plans to create a range of live-action programming  utilizing popular anime and manga licenses. And the timing couldn’t be more perfect, with Viz celebrating its 30th anniversary this summer. While no specific series has been mentioned at this time, it is safe to say that is a very exciting development.

Given that Viz Media has a veritable treasure trove of hit titles in its library, it will be interesting to see which ones are chosen. I would love to see Kaori Yuki’s Grand Guignol Orchestra in live-action form. Oh! Or Yuu Watase’s Alice 19th! The list goes on.

What titles do you want to see reimagined as live-action series?
