It was produced by Toei Animation, the same studio who worked on the TV series that was airing at the time, with most of the same cast and crew working on both projects. Unlike the TV series, the film is not a direct adaptation of the manga, but instead tells an alternate story that rearranges characters and plot elements from the manga's first 72 chapters. [2][3] However, the film retains the more violent content of the original manga, which the television series lacked. Plot[edit] A global nuclear war has turned most of Earth into a contaminated wasteland, with humanity's survivors now fighting over the few uncontaminated food and water supplies still remaining. Kenshiro, a master of the deadly martial art Hokuto Shinken, is traveling with his fiancee Yuria when they are confronted by a gang led by Ken's former friend Shin, a master of the
rival Nanto
Seiken style. Shin proclaims that he has been in love with Yuria for a long time and challenges Ken over her, with no law interrupting in the matter.
[169] The word anime alongside other Japanese pop cultural terms like shonen and shojo have been added to the Oxford English Dictionary. [170] Various anime and manga series have influenced Hollywood in the making of numerous famous movies and characters. [171] Hollywood itself has produced live-action adaptations of various anime series such as Ghost in the Shell, Death Note, Dragon Ball Evolution and Cowboy Bebop. However most of these adaptations have been reviewed negatively by both the critics and the audience and have become box-office flops. The main reasons for the unsuccessfulness of Hollywood's adaptions of anime being the often change of plot and characters from the original source material and the limited capabilities a live-action movie or series can do in comparison to an animated counterpart. [172][173] One particular exception however is Alita: Battle Angel, which has become a moderate commercial success, receiving generally positive reviews from both the critics and the audience for its visual effects and following the source material. The movie grossed $404 million worldwide, making it director Robert Rodriguez's highest-grossing film. [174][175] Anime and manga alongside many other parts of Japanese pop culture have helped Japan to gain a positive worldwide image and improve its relations with other countries such as its East Asian neighbours China and South Korea. [176][177][178][179][180] In 2015, during remarks welcoming Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe to the White House,
President Barack Obama thanked Japan for its cultural contributions to the United States by saying: This visit is a celebration of the ties of friendship and family that bind our peoples. I first felt it when I was 6 years old when my mother took me to Japan. I felt it growing up in Hawaii, like
communities across our country, home to so many proud Japanese Americans.
