00:00On September 20th, two major anime franchises released their new movies in Japan,
00:04generating a direct competition that fans had anticipated with great anticipation.
00:09On the one hand, the Overlord movie titled Overlord, The Sacred Kingdom and, on the other,
00:14the new installment of Gotouba no Hanayome, which despite having concluded its main story,
00:18presents an original sequel. According to box office reports, Overlord managed to surpass
00:23Gotouba no Hanayome, reaching first place in its debut with a first-day gross of 110 million yen,
00:29while the Quintuplets movie came in second place with 55 million yen.
00:33During the Geek Week live event, Netflix Animation surprised fans by announcing a
00:37new collaboration with CD Projekt Red within the cyberpunk universe. However,
00:42no concrete details were offered as to what form this project will take.
00:46The brief teaser only confirmed a return to Night City.
00:49Director Makoto Shinkai, known for his successful works such as Your Name,
00:53Weathering with You and Suzume, will see another of his films transformed into a
00:57live-action adaptation. It has been confirmed that 5 centimeters per second will be brought
01:01to the big screen in Fall 2025, starring Hokuto Matsumura, a member of the group Six Tones,
01:07in the lead role. The talented independent animator known as MapleStar has released his
01:12latest project, an adult animation based on the popular series Konosuba, God's Blessing on This
01:18Wonderful World. In this work, the main characters, Aqua and Kazuma, are involved in a hilarious and
01:23spicy adventure. MapleStar commented on his official Twitter account,
01:27Aqua's hidden talent is drinking, or so she thinks.
01:30My first Konosuba animation. I always wanted to create an animation with her just to draw
01:35silly faces haha. During a special broadcast, Kyoto Animation Studios announced the production
01:40of a feature film for the Kobayashi Sanchi No Maid Dragon franchise to be titled Kobayashi
01:45Sanchi No Maid Dragon, A Lonely Dragon Wants to be Loved. This film will be released sometime in
01:512025 in Japan and will be completely canonical, adapting the well-known Kana Kamui's arc.
01:56During a special broadcast, Kyoto Animation Studios announced that the Manga City will
02:01have an anime adaptation that will premiere sometime in 2025 in Japan. This is another
02:06work by the author of Nichijou My Ordinary Life and is the studio's first non-sequel production
02:11in over 6 years. On the official website for the new anime adaptation of Ramuh One Half,
02:16the second promotional video of the project was revealed. The video shows a snippet of the opening
02:20theme song titled Aina Zakekian and performed by Anno and confirms that the premiere is scheduled
02:26for October 5 in Japan and later through Netflix globally. Unfortunately, the hacking of Netflix
02:32in the previous months completely leaked this new 12-episode series, so this news is perhaps no
02:37surprise to anyone. The only thing left to offer is that, when it is released, fans will finally
02:42be able to watch it in high quality. A recent leak assured that the anime adaptation of the
02:46Overlord line novels has a fifth season currently in production, which would continue the story
02:51scene in the fourth season. Remember that the recent movie adapts events prior to this most
02:56recent season. It should be noted that, as this is a leak, the information is pending official
03:01confirmation, but it comes from an extremely reliable source within the media. It is likely
03:05that the confirmation will come when the movie is released in theaters in Japan in a few weeks.
03:10Following the broadcast of its final episode, it was announced that the anime Spice and Wolf
03:15Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf will have a second season. The press release did not indicate a
03:20scheduled premiere date, but it is inferred that the same production team remains in place at
03:24Passione Studios. During the Level 5 Vision 2024-2 The World's Children event, developer Level 5
03:31revealed a new trailer for its highly anticipated crime thriller role-playing game Decapolis,
03:35also announcing that the project will feature an anime adaptation, which will premiere
03:40simultaneously with the video game in 2026. This announcement comes after the decision to again
03:45delay the game's release, which was originally planned for 2023. Actress Kana Kan, who currently
03:51plays Rurino Osawa in the new Love Live! franchise, hasted no Sora Javikin School Idol Club, found
03:57herself embroiled in a major social media controversy after she retweeted a hateful
04:01post directed towards the members of the previous generation Nijigasaki High School Idol Club. The
04:07situation quickly went viral, as fans of the franchise were quick to notice the tense situation
04:12that apparently exists between the different generations of idols in the project, something
04:16that until now was kept hidden behind a facade of harmony and collaboration. Following the incident,
04:21Kana Kan issued a public apology on her Twitter account, explaining that it was not her intention
04:26to retweet such content and that she is investigating whether the problem was caused
04:30by having her phone in her pocket during lessons or if it was a possible hack. In her statement,
04:35the actress wrote, I deeply regret causing concern and inconvenience on Twitter. I am still not sure
04:40if this happened because I had my phone in my pocket during lessons or if it was a hack, but I
04:44would like to make it clear that this retweet does not reflect my intentions. I am working to confirm
04:49what exactly happened and prevent something like this from happening again. I will also review my
04:54use of social media. Finally, I want to assure you that I do not use any other account besides
04:59this one. I am committed to reflect deeply and to regain the trust of all of you. I am very sorry for
05:04what happened. A press release announced that the game developed by Koseik and Group SNE,
05:08Murder Mystery of the Dead, will have an anime adaptation to be released on November 13 in Japan.
05:14The release listed production details but did not reveal the studio in charge. While the original
05:19board game is quite popular for its mystery theme, the announcement of the anime adaptation has left
05:24more than one with an eyebrow raised, especially for the animation style. Although recent works
05:28such as Girls Band Cry demonstrate that CGI animation can be applauded with good designs
05:33and a high frame-per-second density, it seems that not all studios have access to these means.
05:39The new Yuri series Love Bullet, published under the Kadokawa imprint, has seen an unexpected
05:44increase in sales after the author, Inie, shared her concerns about a possible cancellation due to
05:49low sales figures. Now, Inie is thanking her fans around the world after the first volume of her work
05:54sold out in several stores. On September 22, an anime song event in Nagano Prefecture, Japan,
06:01was interrupted by a violent attack that left one man in serious condition. Police arrested Yoshida
06:06Tsukasa, a 38-year-old resident of Kanagawa Prefecture, on suspicion of attempted murder.
06:12According to preliminary investigations, the suspect admitted to attempting to kill the victim,
06:17a man in his 30s who was stabbed in the chest and other parts of the body. A recent survey conducted
06:22in Japan has produced results that have sparked intense discussion in comment forums, revealing
06:27that Japanese men show a much greater disinterest than women in using matchmaking services such as
06:32marriage agencies and dating apps. The trend has been the subject of discussion in online communities
06:37where several users have shared their views on the situation, many agreeing that this phenomenon
06:42reflects a major shift in young men's priorities. One of the first comments in the discussion
06:46stressed that the rise of weak men has contributed to women also facing difficulties in finding a
06:52partner. The rise of weak men has caused women to also become unpartnered, commented one user,
06:57highlighting the impact of this shift on both genders. Another user opined that, for many men,
07:02it is preferable to avoid the emotional drain that can come with actively looking for a partner.
07:07It's better not to force yourself to look for a partner and end up emotionally drained. In addition,
07:12some believe that the popularity of dating apps has replaced traditional marriage agencies,
07:16although they have also pointed out that these apps present their own problems. They have only
07:20been replaced by dating apps, said one user, while another noted that dating apps are full of men.
