Japanese media survey: Dragon Ball, the JUMP masterpiece most wanted to be adapted into a movie, ranks only second

"Weekly Shonen Jump" magazine has been around for many years and has launched countless classic boys' comics. Today, on August 22, the editorial department of Japanese media All About announced the latest survey results TOP3. The theme was "JUMP masterpieces that you most want to be adapted into movies." "Dragon Ball" ranked only second, and "One Piece" was not in the top three.

• The All About editorial department conducted a questionnaire survey of 450 men and women aged 10 to 69 across Japan from August 4 to 15, covering almost all mainstream reader groups. The results are as follows:

• Third place: Gintama

This famous comic work was serialized from 2004 to 2018, and has been made into two live-action movies, which received good reviews. Perhaps it is due to the funny and fantasy theme of the work itself that is more approachable.

• Second place: Dragon Ball

There is no need to say much about this classic comic, which was once the enlightenment for generations of Japanese comic fans. It was made into a live-action movie by Hollywood in 2009, but unfortunately it received constant bad reviews, which made fans extremely disappointed.

• No. 1: Slam Dunk

One of the most classic basketball sports comics, the author's beautiful character drawing skills and super beautiful theme song are the reasons why it attracts countless loyal fans, and the inclusion of a lot of inspirational elements makes the work more mature. The good news is that the 2022 new theatrical animated film "THE FIRST SLAMDUNK" will be released in December 2022, so stay tuned.
