BECK Live Action Movie 2010
It’s perfectly normal to be curious about an actor who played one of your favorite characters of all time. When you hit his name on Google and it comes out that he stars as another awesome anime hero–well, that’s when you hit play again.
I had nothing but praise to the heavens for Takeru Sato‘s transformation as wandering samurai Kenshin Himura in this year’s live action adaptation of the Samurai X manga. In hindsight, it is better for relatively unknown actors (at least to me) to put on these well-loved manga shoes. It gives viewers a blank slate. Now I no longer hold this advantage when I sat back to watch Sato turn into BECK‘s awkward guitar hero Koyuki. But once again, both the movie and the young thespian did not disappoint.
