Ask a skeptic, and they’ll swear we’re watching a bubble inflate in real time, one that could pop at any second. This entire debate is now playing out in a public showdown between two of the biggest names in finance.

The Original Prop Displays I’m going to start, as you’d expect, by looking at the original film props. This image should be familiar by now.

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.
