I found an interview with Riyoko Ikeda from 2017 in which she comments on movies:
- Works that influenced his way of life: A Man for All Seasons (1966), Fail Safe (1964), Germany, Pale Mother (1980) and Human Capital (2013). - She also likes films about Apartheid and Mahatma Gandhi. - She likes movies about social criticism and because of her work she consumes several romantic or comedy-romantic stories, but in general she doesn't see any kind of story. - It was Gone with the Wind and Les Diaboliques (1955) that made her start to like movies. - In the past she had several VHS and DVD, nowadays she buys digitally, sometimes she buys three films in one day. - She also likes B horror movies. - She also likes Day of the Dead (1985) and Alien (1979). - Some actors she likes are John Travolta and Nigel Davenport. - She doesn't like skinny actors, she prefers actors with a robust physique, like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, her favorite movies of them being The Terminator (1984) and Rocky (1976) respectively. - She would like her manga Shouko no Etude to be adapted into a dorama.
>- She doesn't like skinny actors, she prefers actors with a robust physique, like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, her favorite movies of them being The Terminator (1984) and Rocky (1976) respectively. Absolutely based

Premise sounds like a perfect anime film.
Luke Adams
thank you, op, very cool

>She doesn't like skinny actors, she prefers actors with a robust physique She must hate the current fuckboi culture in 11.

Based. >- She doesn't like skinny actors, she prefers actors with a robust physique, like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, her favorite movies of them being The Terminator (1984) and Rocky (1976) respectively. Made me kek, not gonna lie. Considering all her men are elegant adonis.
James Moore
She's a boomer, it makes sense
Camden Taylor
>In 2008, she received France's Ordre national de la Légion d'honneur for her contribution to Japan's cultural awareness of France Can you imagine writing a shojo manga about a highly romanticized French Revolution because you just wanted to draw a cute Marie Antoinette and dramatic romance at the royal court and then the country awards you with the highest medal of merit there exists?
>She doesn't like skinny actors, she prefers actors with a robust physique, like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone, her favorite movies of them being The Terminator (1984) and Rocky (1976) respectively. This ironic cause most of her men are skinny pretty boys

Did she talk about the French film adaption of Rose? It was made by Demy, a famous french director but it's honestly pretty bad from what I hear.
John Perry
Kurumada when? Les Chevaliers du Zodiaque was very important for the expansion of anime on France and Kurumada happen to be the Shadow Hokage of battle shounen
Day of the Dead is good but a weird one to like from the Dead trilogy. It's a solid trilogy but everyone usually prefers Night or Dawn
Elijah Baker
Are you making a mockery of the Légion d'honneur? It should not be given out like a cheap trinket at a bargain sale.
Michael Young
no its going to be a women next so maybe Rumiko Takahashi
Lincoln Brooks
Seems like all her favourite films heavily influenced her style and subject matter. Even then B horror movies considering that her works sometimes have horror elements. Even RoV got a bonus chapter about a vampire lady who kills young virgin girls.
Honestly, if anyone deserved it, it's Ikeda. RoV is basically the quintessential manga/anime about France.
Michael Powell
>RoV got a bonus chapter about a vampire lady who kills young virgin girls What- How do I find it?
John Ward
She sounds like a total patrician.
Zachary Johnson
It's called The Countess In Black. It's basically a side story where Oscar, Andre and Rosalie end up visiting this gothic castle.
As a side note, vampires are also canon in the RoV universe, as confirmed by Ikeda. Girodelle is a vampire.
Carter Turner
>She doesn't like skinny actors, she prefers actors with a robust physique, like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone
Well that is completely unexpected.
Jace Wright
Deepest lore. I watched RoV but I didn't know all of this stuff. Interesting, thanks user, thanks a lot!
Carter Mitchell
Gone with the Wind seems right up her alley.
Jaxon Price
Yeah, I was gonna say.
Gone With The Wind feels like something she would write. The war, the romance, the historical setting-- Everything really. Wouldn't be surprised if it influenced her style very heavily.
