A new report from The San Francisco Standard claims that Bay Area companies are investing in a service that can alleviate some of the stresses caused by hiring younger employees: etiquette experts.

When Adult Swim first announced that it was working with director Shinichirō Watanabe, Jujutsu Kaisen studio Mappa, and John Wick director Chad Stahelski on a new anime project, Lazarus already had the cards stacked against it. In the rollout of its stylish and musical trailers, the anime hewed close to Watanabe’s Cowboy Bebop aesthetics, setting it up to live up to a standard from a bygone era of animation that it would never be able to satisfy audiences with, and never tried to.

While anime remakes and manga adaptations, along with the occasional original project, continue to dominate the medium, a quieter trend has begun to emerge: the adaptation of Western novels. The latest addition to this movement is Scott Westerfeld’s 2009 steampunk historical fiction novel, Leviathan, reimagined as a 3DCG anime by Studio Orange in partnership with Qubic Pictures of Star Wars: Visions fame.
