From Gintama to JoJo's Bizarre Adenture, this year has seen a rush of all sorts of 2D media making their way into the 3-dimensional realm. The unlikely newcomer to this is the popular mobile game Neko Atsume.

Most are not unfamiliar with this cute game in which you collect cats. The game, produced by Kyoto-based Hit Point, has taken the world by storm since it was launched. The studio announced on Neko Atsume's official Twitter that a live action movie will be released in 2017 along with key visuals. The official website of the movie was also launched.
