Shannon Lee, Bruce Lee’s daughter, expressed her enthusiasm for the anime, highlighting the storytelling potential that the medium offers. She emphasized how anime allows for a creative and imaginative portrayal of her father’s persona while exploring themes of action, fantasy, history, culture, and creativity.
The collaboration between Bruce Lee Entertainment and Shibuya, led by artist Emily Yang, marks the realization of a long-envisioned Bruce Lee anime. The upcoming anime, “House of Lee,” is described as an action-packed fantasy series in which Bruce Lee assembles a team of Dragon Warriors to prevent the world from descending into darkness.
The series draws inspiration from Bruce Lee’s notable quote, “Those who are unaware they are walking in darkness will never seek the light.” Shannon Lee’s choice to work with Shibuya was influenced by their anime short “White Rabbit,” which resonated with her vision for the “House of Lee” project.
As anticipation builds for both the anime’s release and the special “Enter the Dragon” screenings, fans can look forward to a captivating blend of martial arts prowess, creativity, and Bruce Lee’s enduring legacy. With themes of inner battles and spirituality woven into the narrative, “House of Lee” promises to be a unique addition to the world of anime and a fitting tribute to a martial arts icon.
