The Age of Anime Theory

This is not an exact science and I'm still strengthening my theory, but here goes.

Theory - During 2026 - 2039 (and beyond) more anime will be adapted for high-quality live action movies.

Trends in Film

I believe that in film (and sometimes television), there are ever-changing trends in terms of what is most popular over 5 - 15 year periods. A few examples are the late 80s - early 2000s when Terminator, Alien, Predator, The Matrix graced our screens. Periods which fantasy books were adapted to make legendary films like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. There are franchises like Maze Runner and The Hunger Games. Sc-Fi epics such as The Transformers, Inception, Godzilla, King Kong and we will definitely not forget the era of the Marvel universe and DC's effort to join them in superhero territory.

Digital

Anime/Manga fans have always occupied the digital space and as the internet and technology develops, the world is recognising how popular the genre is.

Material for Adaptation

The few films mentioned have been adapted form a mixture of books, comics, games, and previous films. Manga and Anime will soon get its focus on the big screen
