What type of media are both Ran and A.K.?
A.K. (film) A.K. is a 1985 French documentary film directed by Chris Marker about the Japanese director Akira Kurosawa. Though it was filmed while Kurosawa was working on "Ran", the film focuses more on Kurosawa's remote but polite personality than on the making of the film. The film is sometimes seen as being reflective of Marker's fascination with Japanese culture, which he also drew on for one of his best-known films, "Sans Soleil". The film was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1985 Cannes Film Festival.

Since the launch of the original "Wild Arms" title in 1996, the series has gone on to encompass several media, including toys, manga, mobile phone applications, and a 22-episode anime. "Wild Arms" remains noteworthy in the computer and video game industry as being one of the few role-playing series to adopt an American Old West motif. Characters, settings, and music within the series contain visual and audio cues to American westerns, as well as traditional fantasy and science fiction elements.
