Japan’s Government will soon pass a law banning the release of new isekai media in the country for one year.
Anime and manga fans will know isekai (a genre where someone is transported, reborn, or otherwise placed in a different world or universe, usually with a fantasy setting) have become all the rage over the years, to the point where its completely oversaturated anime and manga markets all over the world.
That was fast.
I was totally prepared for at least four chapters of flashbacks before getting back to the present. You can’t blame me, right? With the Aizawa/Yamada/Shirakumo drama plus the Gashly battle, I was sure Horikoshi was gonna pay off those plotlines with good action, character development, and drama.
Nope!
Shirakumo AKA Kurogiri just sorta snapped out of it and instantly became Hero Uber, while Team Sero’s fight against Gashly was wrapped up OFF-SCREEN. Gashly was a Tartarus villain! You know, one of the most dangerous villains in Japan. If all of this isn’t a sign that Horikoshi is rushing towards the finish line, I don’t know what is.
YouTube reaction video channels are all the rage these days. So, it was only a matter of time before certain companies began catering their businesses towards their creators. Websites offering online classes, such as Masterclass and Skillshare, now have online acting courses specifically targeted toward those aiming to be the biggest reactors on social media.
These crying reaction classes give YouTubers various invaluable lessons on: looking sad and distraught, when to start repeating the word No, and the optimal time to dab your eyes with tissues after fanning them with your hands in an “effort” not to cry.
Miss Americana herself, Taylor Swift, is teaming up with the equally popular Japanese series One Piece for a special anime episode.
Toei Animation, the anime company adapting the manga series every week, has been in talks with the famous singer/songwriter for years for some sort of joint partnership. Fans of the pop superstar have even speculated Uta—a singer created for the movie, One Piece Film: Red—was based off Tay Tay herself.
Details have been sparse but comments from Toei suggest the anime special takes place in the world of One Piece on an island rumored to contain a valuable treasure. There, the infamous Straw Hat Pirates—lead by their captain, Monkey D. Luffy—will team-up with Taylor and her Swifties Pirate Gang to find the treasure rumored to make anyone who possesses it as world-famous as the Pirate King.
Taylor herself commented outside a New York City restaurant on the project saying “I love one piece swimsuits! Huh? Anime? What’s that?”
The episode is expected to air sometime next year.
The giants of Elbaph worship the Sun God, Nika. The World Government was to erase anything and anyone connected to him or the Void Century. Doesn’t take a socially awkward One Piece fan with too much time on his hands to figure out Elbaph’s days are numbered!
But why hasn’t the World Government destroyed Elbaph already, you ask? Simple. They can’t!
Elbaph is an island full of warrior giants, for one. That’s more than enough to give the World Government pause. Then, there’s the island’s location in lawless/Yonko territory. Sure, that’s another big problem but Elbaph has been around for centuries, right? You’d think it be worth it to the Five Elders and King Im to destroy the country hundreds of years ago. So, again, why not?
Admiral Kizaru has officially denied attending the world’s largest legalize marijuana rally hosted by Dewing D. Rugs last week as a guest. At a news press conference yesterday, the decorated navy admiral cleared the air by explaining very slowly why his attendance there was only to provide security and maintain order.
“I was there to do my job and only my job. Besides, the good stuff was already sold out. I-It’s my job to know this kind of thing. God, I’m hungry.”
It was later explained by Vice Admiral Smoker that Kizaru was filling in for Admiral Ryokugyu who was hesitint to attend such a rally, fearing for his life due to his devil fruit ability.
We’ve reached out to Mr. Rugs—who currently lives on a farm in the Lulusia Kingdom with his wife and their three children—for comment, but he has yet to return our calls.
Now’s as good a time as ever for Deku to join the army. Get it? ARMy? No, you shut up!
I hate All For One as the final villain. I hate Shigaraki’s growth being all for nothing. But, I’m not gonna dwell on it this chapter. Talking about it ad nauseum would be underhanded of me. Ah! See what I did there?! …Sorry, Deku.
Deku lost the arms race against Shigaraki. And, AFO all but confirmed the young hero no longer has One For All. Where’s Eri when you need her? Seriously. Deku needs Eri, big time. I guess Aizawa will warp him to Eri’s location so she can Rewind his arms and bring One For All back. But, didn’t Ectoplasm say Eri’s not at full power? How is she gonna pull this off? Whatever. I wash my hands with this topic. Oops! Sorry, Deku.
Kōhei Horikoshi, famed creator of one of the greatest manga/anime of all time, My Hero Academia, has recently come under fire over comments made about about Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker.
According to an interview published in The Officially Unofficial Star Wars Fans monthly magazine, Horikoshi-sama was quoted saying the last movie in the Star Wars sequel trilogy is “enjoyable in only a couple parts” then goes further to say “It was a Star Wars movie with lots of action and surprises. I may watch it again one day, if I’m bored.”
The One Piece fan community is all abuzz over a possible song title list leak for the beloved Netflix live action adaption’s highly anticipated second season that’s currently still in-development and set to premiere on Netflix most likely next year.
Superfluous debates have exploded across the internet about whether the leak is real. And, if so, whether the infamous list is complete or even final.
Releasing content on a regular basis can be difficult for anyone, be it a blog post, video, or review. Now imagine having to create a fifteen to seventeen page comic almost EVERY SINGLE WEEK. A seemingly impossible schedule like that is what’s expected of weekly manga creators, or mangka-ka, all the time.
Surprisingly enough, some very successful manga-ka have made it their mission to actively delay their works on a constant basis. And, as a result, their series have gained greater levels of popularity as well as an increase in visual quality.
Some of the professionals on this list may surprise some of you, while most of you savvy regular weekly series fans have already guessed at least half of the people I’m about to mention.
Let’s get to it!
