The SanMei-sama: Anime edition (2009)
Director Yuichi Fukuda adapted selected episodes from the original comic into an animated film. The live-action cast of Ryuta Sato, Yoshinori Okada and Takashi Tsukamoto take on the challenge of voice acting, showing a different looseness to the live-action version. Futoshi, Matsun and Mickey are three people with zero ambition. With nothing in particular to do, they just keep on dabbling in a family restaurant late at night. Their evening goes by as they engage and disengage, get excited and lose their temper, and somehow carry on a series of conversations.
