Not just Naruto and Dragon Ball: “Yes Planet” and “Rav Hen Dizengoff” movie theaters in Tel Aviv this weekend were painted in the bright colors of Japanese anime in honor of a special screening of the hit animated film, “Fate/Grand Order THE MOVIE Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot Wandering; Agateram.”
The movie is based on the free-to-play mobile game “Fate/Grand Order” (FGO).
The brand has essentially become so successful in Japan that it is even being compared to Pokemon Go.
The connection to Israel goes beyond mere commerce, however, as it’s relevant to the plot of the story, which takes place in Jerusalem in the year 1273 when an evil king threatens to destroy the holy city and turn it into a desert.
This report first appeared in Israel Hayom.
