When I did the Super Mario Bros. The video for this channel, which you must watch is a good video and make it help me to stay homeless, I mentioned possible to make a video about the first video game movie.
Before I can do that, I have to say that this is not The great mission to rescue Princess Peach! ORPÍN Running Boy: Star Soldier No Himitsu. Not because I do not like or neglect animation at all, but because it was narrower productions more similar to television specials than the great adaptations of functions with a real budget.
We are talking about the true first video game movie, Mirai Ninja.
Mirai Ninja It is a 1988 Namco Arcade game that only launched in Japan, so it is fair if you have never heard of it. In the game, you play as a resurrected ninja robot that has to stop an evil empire and the resurrection of its leader. What reminds me, I need to reproduce Cybernetic shadow. That rockea game.
Anyway, the Mirai Ninja Arcade Game developed with the intention of launching a complementary feature film, so it was not about adapting an existing game in a film. Instead, the game and the movie were made to congratulate yourself directly.
The Japanese title of the film would be Mirai Ninja: Keigumo Kinin Gijiden, translated ash Future Ninja: Stealth Joy Cloud Device Side Story. Bless the Japanese and their wonderful titles.
The film would obtain a different number or titles depending on where it was launched. On the other side of the pond in the United Kingdom, it was Ninja robbery. My wonderful neighbors to the north had Military chief. Sorry, Canada, you deserved a better title. And here in the United States, this is how I get to know, it was Cybernetic ninja But I will call him for his Japanese title because I am a loser Weeb.
Approximately time, Tokusatsu It also became a term that was applied to a particular style of special effect production, such as what is seen in the Japanese television series such as Ashes Kamen rider or the Super Sentai Series. AND Mirai Ninja It’s almost so pure Tokusatsu As you can get. I could see those sparks exploiting again and again.
Since the game and the film were taking together, the Mirai Ninja The film was deliberately trying to be as faithful as it could for the arcade game. So much so that the director and coguionist of the film, Keita Amemiya, also worked on the characters designs for the game. All this leads to a film that could be more faithful to its source video game material. The first stage of the video game adapts directly to the sequence of initial loans, and even the music of the game only receives a new orchestration for the film sometimes.
So the basic history of Mirai Ninja It will seem very familiar to anyone with the smallest familiarity with …
The film begins with text that says: “Once upon a time, in the distant future …”, there is an evil empire that kidnaps a princess dressed in white, a rogue mercenary is used to rescue her, is there a evil in the emperor this? Compulsory statement or “Star Wars was influenced by samurai cinema, specifically Akira Kurosawas The hidden fortress“Before someone in the comments want” um, actually. ”
The most “Not Star Wars” part of the story is about a soldier who dies at the beginning of the film and resurrects as a ninja robot for the Dark Overlord clan. This is our hero, Shiranui, who tries to reach the strength of the dark Lord to claim his body before him and the princess is used to resurrect the dark Lord.
You don’t get much more than that, and that’s the best of Mirai Ninja From a writing perspective. At 75 minutes, it does not apply too much. As Joe Bob Briggs would say, “there is not much plot to get in the path of history.” This is theft ninjas and techno baddies shooting lasers and cut with each other with swords.
And if you are hung in the story and the characters of Mirai NinjaYou are still making a pot while enjoying the Edo style attack walkers and my man, Shoki, the great henchman of the evil one that ends like the ship for the resurrected dark lord. You have head tentacles that stab you if you try to sneak! Shoki rules.
Shiranui Rules. Mirai Ninja Damn rules.
And the only reason why more people did not feel like that when Mirai Ninja Released in 1988 is the film that stayed in Japan because the arcade game is not exported to other countries. He obtained a homemade video and an English release in the 90s in VHS and a DVD launch in the 2000s, but has Gods a love restoration or a better launch in Blu-ray.
And he needs for so many reasons. When people lamented “The Video Game Movie Curs”, which affected so many adaptations for decades starting with Super Mario Bros.They need to know about Mirai Ninja. The first live action video game film was not cursed at all. In fact, it occurred as well as it could have returned in 1988.
Keita Amemiya would continue to direct similar Tokusatsu Movies like Sea resignTwo Kamen rider Movies and another movie that I will make a video if it does. From Mirai Ninja It was his first theatrical characteristic, he needs that preservation for his filmography.
And it is the first live action video game film, no Super Mario Bros. That fact should only grant Mirai Ninja A ton of admiration, respect and adequate launch of domestic videos Modem for audiences around the world.
You can find a copy of Mirai Ninja Here in cyberspace, but we hope that we can all wait a day in which a new high -definition love version can be made. The first real video game film deserves nothing less.
Do you like children’s children or videos about less known movies or Japanese gender things? I love making them even if no one else seems to like, so I let me know in the comments and I like the video because that will tell us: “Do more things like this!” Subscribe to the channel and I will give my kitten a scritch only for you. Thank you for seeing and I hope you return next time here at Giant Freakin Robot.
