‘Knights of the Zodiac’ doesn’t get the desired result, but it could have a sequel

In April, ‘Knights of the Zodiac’ premiered its first live action adaptation in theaters across the planet, a production awaited for several months by millions of fans of the original anime series, a title that would be the beginning of a saga of several films however, with the result that has been achieved, many are wondering if this will come true.

The public reception of live action of ‘Knights of the Zodiac’ was not at all positive, since it is even compared to the failed ‘Dragon Ball Evolution’, a film that has been described as one of the worst adaptations of an anime, and apparently this new title produced by Toei Animation and distributed by Sony Picture it goes the same way.

After several weeks of theatrical release, the live action animated series has not generated strong numbers at the box office, and this is in addition to most of the negative comments made by demanding fans, which apparently outweigh the positive opinions, for what we could say that the result of this movie is not as expected.

Even so, Toei Animation and Sony Pictures’ plan is still active so far, so everything seems to point to the fact that “The Knights of the Zodiac will have a second part in live actiona tape that could be the definitive one for the beginning of a long multi-film saga, or for the total end of this franchise in the world of real action.

In his possible second film, Toei Animation could fix the failures that the first part of apparently presents live action of ‘Knights of the Zodiac’, something that other sagas have already done in the world of cinema before, however, if this second production gets a negative result like the first part, it could be the end of this story in the world of cinema.

How many movies would the Knights of the Zodiac saga have in total?

In the event that the eventual second film of this anime franchise is successful, it could become one of the longest-running cinematic sagas, since Toei Animation executives have stressed that the original plan is for the animated series of ‘Knights of the Zodiac’ be fitted into about 6 or 7 tapes.

The first live action ‘Knights of the Zodiac’ movie covers a very small part of the anime series, so there is still a lot to tell about this story, however, there is also a lot to correct for what would be a possible sequel. now, we’ll have to wait to see what fate has in store for the story born in the anime.
