‘Padakkalam' to ‘Gaganachari': Anime influence in Malayalam cinema
(Picture Courtesy: Facebook) A few years ago, if someone said anime would start influencing Malayalam cinema, you might've raised an eyebrow. After all, Malayalam films have always leaned into realism — intimate stories, everyday people, quiet emotional punches. But things are shifting. Slowly, subtly — and surprisingly. It's not like characters are sprouting blue hair or shouting attack names. But something's changing. The colors. The moods. The tone. You can almost feel it — especially if you've grown up watching anime. A different kind of visual energy Take 'Padakkalam'. On the surface, it's a Malayalam film. But visually? It's bold. Loud. Almost too bright at times — in a good way. Characters are a little exaggerated, scenes are cut with sharp energy, and the storytelling has this vibrant, kinetic feel. For anyone who's spent hours binging 'My Hero Academia' or 'Jujutsu Kaisen', it hits familiar nerves. Padakkalam - Official Trailer It's the kind of film that feels like it was made by someone who's spent some time in anime worlds — or at least deeply respects them. "Me and director Manu are hardcore anime fans" - 'Padakkalam' writer Nithin C Babu Recently in the Kerala Pop Con meet, the 'Padakkalam' writer Nithin C Babu revealed that he and the director Manu Swaraj are hardcore anime fans. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Halapitan: Beautiful New Senior Apartments with Two Bedrooms Senior Apartments | Search Ads Search Now Undo He said, "We are hardcore anime and DC fans. There are several easter eggs and One Piece action figures in 'Padakkalam'. The 'One Piece' fans may know about Arlong Park and in it, there is an entry sequence of Luffy and gang which is exactly used in a sequence in 'Padakkalam'. It is replicated shot by shot in 'Padakkalam'. We are that much dedicated in putting all such references in the movie." The writer further said that they didnt take the references randomly but they had inserted it intentionally. (Picture Courtesy: Facebook) Gaganachari is weird — and that's the point Then you've got Gaganachari. A sci-fi mockumentary from Kerala? Ten years ago, that sentence wouldn't even make sense. But here it is — funny, eccentric, dystopian. If you squint, it feels like something from 'Cowboy Bebop' or 'FLCL'. It jumps genres without apology. That's straight out of anime's playbook. "Maniyan Chittappan' will be a combo of 'Rick and Morty' and 'Doctor Strange' - Arun Chandu Talking to Film Companion, the 'Gaganachari' director Arun Chandu said that the next part of the movie which is called 'Maniyan Chittappan' will have the influence of the series 'Rick and Morty' (even though it's not an anime). He said, "Maniyan Chittappan' will focus on the adventures of a mad scientist." Dubs made a difference Here's what a lot of people don't realize — anime is now available dubbed in Malayalam. Over a dozen series, including Attack on Titan and Chainsaw Man, have local versions. That's huge. Kids in Thrissur or Kozhikode are growing up with the same characters Tokyo teens love. And when those kids become filmmakers? Well, don't be surprised if those influences sneak into the screen. Reddit's already ahead of the curve You should see some of the fan theories and wishlists floating around online. One person wants 'Erased' adapted as a Malayalam thriller. Another pitched Lijo Jose Pellissery directing a live-action horror inspired by' Junji Ito'. Are these real projects? No. But the fact that people are dreaming like this says a lot. There's an appetite. A hunger to blend the worlds. Morality tales, Malayalam style Here's the kicker. You don't have to change Malayalam cinema too much to align with anime. Look at 'Minnal Murali'. A small-town guy with superpowers, figuring out how not to mess it all up? That could be any number of anime plots. Themes like justice, identity, loss — both formats love digging into them. With the increasing love for anime among the Malayali audiences and many of them turning to filmmakers, it can be expected that there will be more of anime references in Malayalam cinema in future.

10 Hollywood celebrities who love anime from Dragon Ball to Naruto including John Cena, Ariana Grande and more
Anime today is no longer a niche subculture. Still, it is all about colourful storytelling, iconic characters, and emotional depth have long been revered by fans worldwide, including among the Hollywood elite. These celebrities have long been able to showcase their anime as a universal passion, ranging from discussing their favourite shows in interviews to participating in anime-inspired projects. These stars are not only looking up to anime from the sidelines but also participating, learning and contributing to its international reach. Through music, movies, tattoos or whatever, partnerships for that matter, these celebrities show that anime's appeal goes beyond genres, borders and industries. From Hollywood productions to the anime festivals of Tokyo, the common appreciation for this art form of storytelling keeps forging unintended bridges, and these 10 stars are at the forefront. Below are 10 celebrities who show their love for anime. List of Hollywood celebrities who are anime lovers Celebrity Anime Connection Favourite/Featured Anime Megan Thee Stallion Cosplays, music references, creating her own anime series Naruto, Jujutsu Kaisen, My Hero Academia Michael B. Jordan Inspired Creed III fights from anime One Piece, Dragon Ball, Naruto Zac Efron Big fan, almost played Light in live-action Death Note Keanu Reeves Making Netflix anime from his comic BRZRKR Akira, Ghost in the Shell Avril Lavigne Songs featured in anime film One Piece Leonardo DiCaprio Recommends anime to Hollywood peers Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke Megan Fox Cosplayed Death Note characters Death Note John Cena Longtime fan since childhood Fist of the North Star Ariana Grande Anime-inspired tattoos Spirited Away, Pokémon Billie Eilish Gifted anime portrait by Attack on Titan creator Attack on Titan Celebrities who are obsessed with anime Megan Thee Stallion Megan Thee Stallion is more than just a fan—she's an anime culture enthusiast. The rapper has made a name for herself for being able to elegantly merge anime culture with her creativity and often cosplays well-known characters such as Gojo Satoru (Jujutsu Kaisen), Trish Una (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure), and Shoto Todoroki (My Hero Academia). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tribu Deportiva Tribu Deportiva Leer más Undo In 2024, she upped the ante on her fandom with her album MEGAN, including songs like "Otaku Hot Girl" that name-check anime shows like Naruto and Jujutsu Kaisen. But Megan's not done yet—she's also producing an original anime series of her own, showing she's a creator, not just a fan, in the genre. Michael B. Jordan Michael B. Jordan's anime enthusiasm goes beyond a passing interest—it influences his craft. The Creed and Black Panther actor has publicly named his favorite anime series: One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, Dragon Ball, and Hunter x Hunter, all timeless shonen staples. What makes Jordan stand out is the way he incorporates anime influence in his work. When directing Creed III, he confessed to having choreographed fight scenes from dramatic anime fight scenes, thereby producing emotionally charged confrontations that mirror the power and intensity of shows he watched while growing up. Zac Efron Zac Efron himself has frequently expressed great admiration for Death Note, which is considered one of the greatest psychological thrillers in anime. Best known for his High School Musical and The Greatest Showman performances, Efron once nearly played Light Yagami in the 2017 live-action film adaptation of Death Note. Although the job ultimately went to another, that his name was mentioned as a candidate indicated how much he identified with the show. Fans think that his charisma and intensity would have made him an appropriate choice for the morally ambiguous lead. Keanu Reeves Keanu Reeves' relationship with anime is deep-seated, particularly when it comes to sci-fi. During the production of The Matrix, Reeves sat through genre-defining films such as Akira and Ghost in the Shell, both of which influenced the cyberpunk look and intellectual depth of the franchise. Now Reeves is returning the favor by adapting his comic book BRZRKR into an anime series for Netflix. Written by Reeves along with others, the show is a full-circle production, echoing how anime has impacted his career and imagination. Avril Lavigne Canadian pop singer Avril Lavigne has been a One Piece fan for years, and her love for the show translated into an official partnership in 2012. Two of her chart-topping singles—"How You Remind Me" and "Bad Reputation"—were incorporated into One Piece Film Z. Lavigne has also admired series creator Eiichiro Oda, and the sentiment is reciprocated; Oda himself has had high praise for her music. Their cross-cultural pairing is one of the more interesting overlapings of Western pop music and anime storytelling. Leonardo DiCaprio Leonardo DiCaprio is not afraid to express his affection for Studio Ghibli movies. Specifically, he loves Spirited Away so much that he keeps recommending it to friends and co-workers, even director Martin Scorsese. Aside from Spirited Away, DiCaprio has also cited Princess Mononoke, Akira, and Ninja Scroll as among his favourites. His appreciation for the emotional richness and narrative depth of anime reflects how the art form bridges cultural barriers—even at the height of Hollywood. Megan Fox Megan Fox has also spoken out about her admiration for Death Note, and in 2023, she turned her fanhood into reality with a Halloween cosplay that will be remembered. She went as Light Yagami, while Machine Gun Kelly dressed up as Ryuk, with the pair turning heads with their anime-inspired looks. From the intricate red tie and Death Note notebook to the apple backpack with symbolism, Fox's performance was a gesture of love to the anime she loves so much. Her love of anime, especially psychological thrillers, matches her edgy and fearless public image. John Cena John Cena, the wrestling legend and actor, is a longtime anime fan. On the Whiskey Ginger podcast, Cena revealed his childhood favorite—Fist of the North Star, a post-apocalyptic martial arts anime known for its intense action and iconic catchphrase, 'You're already dead.' Cena's journey into anime is a perfect fit for his larger-than-life personality and history in fighting sports. His selection of an underappreciated gem also demonstrates that he's not just a casual fan—he enjoys the dynamic history behind the genre. Ariana Grande Ariana Grande doesn't merely watch anime—she commemorates it for life. She got tattooed with Chihiro from Spirited Away on her arm in 2018, solidifying her affection for Studio Ghibli. She also has an Eevee tattoo, paying homage to her affection for the Pokémon series and the Pokémon Go game. Grande's anime tattoos are intimate and public declarations of fandom, demonstrating how much these stories speak to her. Her affection for fantastical, emotionally charged narratives is reminiscent of the themes she tends to investigate in her own music. Billie Eilish Few musicians have had their anime affection returned in kind from a legend within the genre. Billie Eilish was given a hand-drawn anime-style portrait of herself by Attack on Titan creator Hajime Isayama. The portrait shows Eilish with characters such as Eren Yeager and Mikasa, and features an ominous Colossal Titan in the background. Eilish has praised anime's visuals and emotional storytelling fondly. To receive such a gift from the industry giant speaks volumes about her influence—not as a fan, but as one who inspires anime creators with reciprocity.

One Piece Chapter 1152: Will Loki join the Straw Hats? Everything we know so far
One Piece Chapter 1152, 'A Horrible Day,' just hit like a cannonball in the Elbaph Arc, and fans can't stop talking about it. The big question on everyone's mind: Could Loki, the mysterious Prince of Elbaph, actually become the next Straw Hat? This chapter's packed with jaw-dropping moments, from Zoro's Haki reveal to Loki's tragic past, and it's got the fandom buzzing with theories. I've dug into the details, fan reactions, and all the hints Eiichiro Oda's dropped so far. Let's dive into what went down and whether Loki's got a spot on the Sunny. What's Going On in Chapter 1152? This chapter throws us deep into the chaos of Elbaph, with the Straw Hats and their giant allies gearing up for a showdown against Imu and the God's Knights. Loki, the giant prince with a massive 2.6 billion berry bounty, takes center stage, and Oda's peeling back layers of his story. We get a wild mix of action, lore, and those classic Luffy moments that make you laugh and cheer at the same time. Zoro gets a huge moment when Scopper Gaban, a grizzled veteran from the Red Hair Pirates, confirms he's got Conqueror's Haki. Fans have been calling this since Wano, but seeing it spelled out is electric. Luffy knew all along, but Zoro's been in the dark, and Gaban gives him a good-natured roasting to step up and master it. It's a big deal for Zoro's growth and hints at some epic fights coming up. Then there's Luffy, doing what he does best: making bold moves. He straight-up asks Loki to join the Straw Hats, hoping it'll convince Hajrudin to free him from his chains. It's such a Luffy thing to do, but it doesn't go over well. Zoro and Sanji raise their eyebrows, Hajrudin's not thrilled, and Loki himself shuts it down, saying he doesn't follow anyone. Still, Luffy's got that stubborn spark in his eye, and we all know he doesn't give up easily. The chapter also digs into Loki's past through some heavy flashbacks. We learn he was framed for killing his father, King Harald, 14 years ago. Turns out, Harald's own soldiers were the culprits, which flips the 'Accursed Prince' narrative on its head. Another flashback, set over a century ago, paints Harald as a destructive force, hinting at why Elbaph got tangled with the World Government. There's even a nod to Shanks and Gaban being in Elbaph during Harald's death, where they sensed a strange Haki and heard about a stolen legendary Devil Fruit. It's classic Oda, leaving us with more questions than answers. The stakes are high as the Straw Hats and New Giant Warrior Pirates prepare to face Imu's forces in the Sun World. Gaban warns that only the strongest Conqueror's Haki can take down the seemingly immortal God's Knights, setting up a battle that's gonna be nuts. Could Loki Join the Straw Hats? So, let's get to the heart of it: Is Loki about to become the tenth Straw Hat? There's a lot to unpack here, and the fandom's split right down the middle. On one hand, Loki feels like a perfect fit. Luffy's got this uncanny ability to see the good in people, and he's already saved Loki's life and shared his precious meat with him. That's Luffy's love language, and it's how he won over crewmates like Zoro and Robin. The fact that Loki's been wrongfully blamed for his dad's murder hits hard, too. It's the kind of tragic backstory that screams Straw Hat, reminding me of Robin's Ohara days or Franky's exile in Water 7. Plus, Loki's a powerhouse—rocking a mythical Devil Fruit, advanced Haki, and a giant-sized weapon called Ragnir. A giant on the crew would shake things up in the best way, adding a new dynamic alongside Chopper and Jinbe. Oda's been teasing Loki since Chapter 858, and with Luffy's dream of a ten-man crew, the timing feels right. Fans on X are eating it up, with some calling this chapter 'absolute gold' and betting Loki's arc is leading to a Sunny boarding pass. But then there's the other side. Loki's kind of a beast, maybe too much of one. His bounty outshines Zoro's, and his 'Sun God' title alongside Luffy's Nika feels like it could steal the spotlight. Some fans worry he'd throw off the crew's balance, making Luffy look less like the captain. Then there's the practical stuff—Zoro and Sanji joke about Loki's size and appetite, and yeah, fitting a giant on the Sunny sounds like a nightmare. More than that, Loki's fiercely independent. He straight-up says he's not here to follow anyone, which doesn't exactly vibe with being a crewmate. Posts on X point out he might be better as a heavy-hitting ally, like Vivi or the Grand Fleet, helping in the final war without signing up full-time. It's a tough call. Ahmedabad Plane Crash
