The series will be based on a futuristic action comic Bourdain co-wrote in 2012
Adult Swim, apparently content to continue its efforts to dominate the conversation coming out of this year’s Annecy International Animation Film Festival, has now announced another big-name project soon to come to its televisual shores: Get Jiro !, which carries a hell of a pedigree, being based on a graphic novel co-penned by the late Anthony Bourdain .
The book imagines a future where cutthroat gangs of chefs rule Los Angeles, and a mysterious, revenge-minded sushi chef comes to town, bringing violent chaos with him. The book got good reviews, and while it did fall a bit out of conceptual step with some of Bourdain’s more anthropological efforts, it’s not hard to imagine him pitching the bit where Jiro angrily decapitates a boorish patron who drowns his carefully prepared sushi in wasabi and soy sauce.
