Joshua Long, the executive producer of 20th Century Fox’s live-action Cowboy Bebop, has just announced at Anime Expo in California, that they are planning the re-make of another anime. This is a short film, twenty-five minutes in length called, Kakurenbo, literally translated as, Hide and Seek.

The original anime was created by, Shuuhei Morita, released on September 1, 2004 in Japan and later on October 30, 2005 in America, distributed by Central Park Media. The short is about a group of children playing a game called, otokoyo, which they play around the ruins of an abandoned city.

The story follows a young boy named, Hikora, who joins the game in order to search for his missing sister, Sorincha. It appears that whenever the children enter the city to play, they vanish, said to have been whisked away by the demons inside. Once inside the city, the children are pursued by four different demons and eventually by the oni, which translates as demon, but is used in the terms of whoever is ‘it’ in the game. This oni takes on the appearance of Hikora’s sister and wears a fox mask.

In 2005, Morita won Notable Entry at the Tokyo International Anime Fair. He also received Best Film Nomination at South Korea’s Seoul Comics and Animation Festival, and Best Short Film at the Fantasia Festival in Montreal, Canada.

Some fans of the short piece are frustrated over loose ends in the story, such as why some of the children are willing to play such a dangerous game. The only characters with motivation are Hikora, his friend who tries to help find the missing sister, and Noshiga, who is the leader of the gang and claims to not be afraid of demons.

The other boys of the group appear to have no real reason to join in a game where they are likely to be carried off by monsters. The concept of a feature length film opens the door for artistic liberties to be taken with such characters, perhaps flushing out their personalities and motivations more, so as to make a more poignant impact with the audience.

However, such changes made to anime that are turned into live-action pieces are known to not always please fans and recent polls amongst internet communities suggest many anime watchers would prefer to not continue seeing their shows turned into Hollywood pictures.

Mr. Long also suggested at Anime Expo, that Hollywood is looking to transform a work of Koike Kazou, but gave no details. Mr. Long’s most anticipated anime adaption is still Cowboy Bebop, starring Keanu Reeves as Spike. The film is a hot controversy with anime fans, as Cowboy Bebop is a famous piece of work and is held very dear by many. Some are upset with the live action, others wary but hopeful. The film is slated for 2011 release, while Hide and Seek has no set date or attached crew and cast.
