The SanMei-sama: Anime edition

Directed by Yuichi Fukuda

With Ryuta Sato, Takashi Tsukamoto, Tamae Ando, Daisuke Kobayashi and Yoshinori Okada

Director Yuichi Fukuda adapted selected episodes from the original comic into an animated film. The live-action cast of Ryuta Sato, Yoshinori Okada and Takashi Tsukamoto take on the challenge of voice acting, showing a different looseness to the live-action version. Futoshi, Matsun and Mickey are three people with zero ambition. With nothing in particular to do, they just keep on dabbling in a family restaurant late at night. Their evening goes by as they engage and disengage, get excited and lose their temper, and somehow carry on a series of conversations.
