Instead of her scaring the bejeebus out of you, you take one look at the ghost, shut the bathroom door and go back to chanting into the mirror. This is how <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=16123">Gugure! Kokkuri-san</a></cite> begins, except that instead of the Western divination spirit of <cite class="e anime">Bloody Mary</cite> in a bathroom, we have the Japanese fox spirit Kokkuri-san in a Shinto temple. Instead of you, we have the adorable, emotionless, self-proclaimed "doll," Kohina Ichimatsu.</p> <p>Kokkuri-san is a Meiji-era game similar to the Ouija board, in that multiple people ask a spirit a question and expect an answer via an object's movement on a board. For reasons unknown, elementary schooler Kohina lives alone and seems to have no friends, so she's playing the game on her own. Despite this, it works, and an actual fox spirit in the form of a (<cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=5">bishōnen</a></cite>) man appears. Subsequent episodes introduce new spirit roommate characters. Inugami, the spirit of a cursed dog who fluctuates between a male and female form, wants to marry Kohina. Shigaraki, a drunken middle-aged tanuki spirit, makes a brief appearance at the end of episode 3.</p> <p><cite class="e anime">Gugure! Kokkuri-san</cite> has a touch of that creepy loli vibe to it, largely thanks to Inugami, but this is a purely humorous take on the idea. (Kohina knows to call the police when a strange older man is interested in her.) However, the relationship between Kohina and Kokkuri is innocuous enough. Kokkuri acts strictly like a mother figure or older brother, and Kohina herself is never fetishized. If anything, thanks to her adorable chibi face, her deadpan delivery and her lack of reaction, she comes across as an unintentionally cute doll that people (or animal spirits) want to cuddle more than the needy "oniichan" <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=77">moe</a></cite> trope. It helps that the spirits turn into adorable animals, too, making the show adorable all around without dipping too uncomfortably into fetish territory.</p> <p>That said, this series will completely rub some viewers the wrong way. If your personal threshold for tastelessness lands somewhere well below "a grown man/woman loving an elementary schooler is a crime," spirit world explanations and dog forms thrown into the mix notwithstanding, then you'll find this type of humor more offensive than funny. Inugami's obsession with Kohina isn't the only example of off-color humor, either. While <cite class="e anime">Gugure! Kokkuri-san</cite> hasn't yet reached <i>Family Guy</i>-levels of crudeness, jokes revolve around topics such as sex, gender, stalking, child abduction, alcoholism and divorce. </p> <p>There's plenty of humor in the vein of the classic <i>Looney Tunes</i>, too. Angry at a fox spirit? Poke two fingers into his eyes until blood spurts out. Can't stand a dog spirit? Hit her with a frying pan while dodging the bullets she sends flying at you. It's not quite to Itchy &amp; Scratchy parody levels of grotesqueness, but it's very close. Madcap violence—and the many absurd "I can't believe they just did that!" moments the show offers—makes me laugh, so it works for me. If <i>Looney Tunes</i> makes you snooze and Itchy &amp; Scratchy makes you want to puke though, you may not agree.</p> <p>The designs in this series are charming and work well with a pleasing color palette that changes slightly to set the spirit world mood apart when appropriate. I'm particularly fond of the director's (or perhaps the original mangaka's) choices to do an opposite take on chibi. Kohina is almost always chibi, but when things get serious—though never too serious—she takes on a more traditional anime look. In other words, she looks "normal" about as often as the typical comedy might show its main character in chibi form. It's actually a bit jarring at first to reconcile the two designs, but it works, adding extra punch to the bits of drama and complementing Kohina's eccentric characterization. </p> <p>Comedies based on four-panel manga have a tendency to toss joke after joke at the viewer without a break, which only works if every joke is a hit. The jokes aren't obtrusive in <cite class="e anime">Gugure! Kokkuri-san</cite>, as they're paced a little further apart, never outstaying their welcome. Even better, they're almost all hits and no misses. Comedy fans will adore this series, and there's a little something extra for fans of all things kawaii and <cite class="e lexicon">bishōnen</cite> as well.</p> <p><b>Rating: A</b></p> <p><em> <cite class="e anime">Gugure!

However, fate had different plans in store for me. One day, I was ordered to visit a residence deep in the mountains. I was to deliver carrots, of all things, to this residence that everyone was reluctant to visit.<p>And there, a mysterious, beautiful, and wise individual, who called the snowy manor their home, awaited me.</p> <p>Her name was Kay. She was the first person who told me that she liked me, despite everyone else around me treating me as if they despised me.</p> <p>While Kay does have her shortcomings in her selfish attitude and penchant for lying, I find those shortcomings to be rather touching.</p> <p>Yet one day, after many visits, Kay suddenly told me to never visit her again. </p> <p>When I pried further, she revealed that she was being forced into an arranged marriage.</p> <p>Despite her insistence, I couldn't accept this reality. I felt that I needed to tell Kay how I felt. “I love you with every fiber of my being, Kay.” “I want us to overcome this struggle and then be together, Kay.”</p> <p>So, once again, I climb the snowy mountain. However, this time, I go not to deliver carrots, but rather, to confess my love for Kay.</p> </blockquote> <p><em>Sources: Her Kiss, My Libido Twinkles' <cite class="e company">Kickstarter</cite> <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/yorimiyu/her-libidos-infectious-kiss/description" target="_blank">page</a>, Now No One Lurks Beneath the Snow's <cite class="e company">Kickstarter</cite> <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mhrp/now-no-one-lurks-beneath-the-snow-a-queer-fantasy-romance?ref=nav_search&amp;result=project&amp;term=aneido&amp;total_hits=2" target="_blank">page</a> via <a href="https://okazu.yuricon.com/2024/08/31/yuri-network-news-%E7%99%BE%E5%90%88%E3%83%8D%E3%83%83%E3%83%88%E3%83%AF%E3%83%BC%E3%82%AF%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A5%E3%83%BC%E3%82%B9-august-31-2024/" target="_blank">Okazu</a></em></p> </div> <hr> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> <!--source: ...--> <div> <a href="/cms/discuss/215013">discuss this in the forum (2 posts)</a> | <div id="social-bookmarks"> bookmark/share with: <span onclick="social_share_215013('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_215013('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_215013(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-09-06/her-kiss-my-libido-twinkles-now-no-one-lurks-beneath-the-snow-manga-english-releases-surpass-/.215013";

The main manga ended in the magazine in April 2021, and has 11 volumes. The manga was <a href="/news/2021-02-25/demon-slayer-jujutsu-kaisen-promised-neverland-nominated-for-tezuka-osamu-cultural-prize/.169984">nominated</a> for the 25th Annual Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2021. The manga also won an award at the 46th Japan Cartoonist Awards in 2017.<p>The manga <a href="https://www.younganimal.com/title/?id=31" target="_blank">takes place</a> during the Battle of Peleliu, a months-long battle that took place during World War II between the U.S. and Japan on the island of Peleliu in Palau. The manga takes place in the summer of 1944. Peleliu is a paradise with coral reefs and beautiful forests. Tamaru is a soldier who wants to become a manga creator. The manga depicts Tamaru's daily life during a drawn-out battle between Japan's approximately 10,000 troops and the U.S.'s 50,000 troops, exploring themes such as what the soldiers fight for when so far from home on a small island.</p> <p>The manga inspired a <a href="/news/2021-04-08/kazuyuki-takeda-peleliu-guernica-of-paradise-manga-gets-anime-spinoff-manga/.171465">spinoff</a> titled <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=29212">Peleliu Gaiden</a></cite></cite> that launched in <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=817">Hakusensha</a></cite>'s <cite><cite class="e anime">Young Animal</cite></cite> magazine <a href="https://natalie.mu/comic/news/470951" target="_blank">in</a> March 2022.

There are traditional sentai warriors here, and child geniuses piloting giant mechas. There are massive beasts created by government experiments, and cyborg detectives sworn to protect the peace. There are forces of nature and forces of darkness, invincible warriors and self-destructive terrorists. There's even a robot girl called Earth-chan who floats in space and answers the prayers of those who call for her using her mechanical star-antenna.</p> <p>Not all of these beings can be trusted, and not all of them can fend for themselves, and so the government of Japan has created the Superhuman Bureau. Sworn to protect superhumans, these intrepid figures register and shelter those who walk among the rest of us, along with occasionally disposing of those who refuse to walk peacefully. There's Jiro, the conflicted hero who rides a transforming car-stallion into battle. The magical witch Kikko, who brandishes her wand and brings clouds to life and performs all other sorts of wild tricks. The Ogre Emi, whose bond with the natural world gives her great and mysterious power. And all manner of other bureau investigators or allies, all sworn to protect the peace and uphold justice.</p> <p>If that sounds more like the premise for a wincingly earnest 60s production than a modern superhero narrative, it's because that is the world <cite class="e anime">Concrete Revolutio</cite> inhabits. Conrevo is set in an unabashedly post-war Japan, and the style of its heroes reflects that - the show is full of winking parallels for famous robot boys and sentai teams and various other classic do-gooders. But modern superhero stories have moved well past unquestioningly trusting the nature of heroes, and Conrevo reflects <i>that</i> as well. Conrevo is a work infused with cynicism depicting a world still fresh with innocence, and as its episodes add up, we see the bureau deal with increasingly thorny cases, its members each seeking their own “justice” in the course of either helping or hindering the superhumans of their world.</p> <p>Most of the show's episodes play out as episodic adventures within a slow-burning larger story, with the general template of “a new threat/event has appeared, the bureau must investigate” providing the impetus for each new trial. Judged as a collection of individual stories, Conrevo can sometimes come across as clumsy, or a bit emotionally flat. Some of its episodic stories, like a later time-travel focused one, are straight-up brilliant; others are disposable, and sometimes paced or organized such that you can't really get emotionally invested in their heroes.</p> <p>Fortunately, judging Conrevo as a sequence of episodic stories is probably the worst way to look at it. The key to Conrevo is the big picture, and the way all of its many, many characters interact. The motives of the Superhuman Bureau, its detractors, the government, the media, and various individual superhumans all shift throughout this story, as the balance of society shifts beneath them. On top of being a sequence of wild superhuman vignettes, Conrevo is an unabashed Message Story, and it has a whole dang lot to say.</p> <p>The various loyalties of Conrevo's many characters all play into its overall metaphorical time period, a power-shifted postwar Japan. In fact, major elements of its plot aren't even metaphors - the show is full of student protests, and the threat of US imperialism guiding Japanese policy hangs constantly overhead. The use of superhumans as a metaphor for both military/political control and for social power is clever and robust, with superhumans alternately embodying forces as disparate as the bomb, proxy military control, the sins of wartime atrocities, and even the power of music or cultural icons to inspire youth unrest. And the complexity of Conrevo's morals means none of these superheroic vehicles are truly defined as good or bad - between governmental rivalries, earnest student action, and the capitalist demands of cultural producers, the “justice” of virtually any act is cloaked in ambiguities and situational meaning.</p> <p>It'd be easy for a show that's so heavy on metaphor to get totally distant and caught up in its own themes, and though Conrevo is indeed one of the busiest shows of the year, it also miraculously avoids this problem. From the staff of the ambiguous bureau outwards, Conrevo is filled with smartly constructed characters who nearly all get some great individual moments. There are very few “villains” in Conrevo - even the people pursuing their own selfish ends sometimes end up doing the “right thing” in the course of them (“in order to finance our own superhero craze, we'll expose the ways the government is abusing superhumans”), and for the vast majority of characters, the goal isn't power, it's their own form of “peace, justice, or freedom.” </p> <p>Characters constantly clash due to difference in ideology or view of circumstances, and all of these characters end up feeling like endearing people worth rooting for. The idea of pursuing justice on a general societal level comes in regular conflict with pursuing justice as a citizen within an existing social structure, and everyone has very good reasons for how they feel. The bureau employee Jiro works within the government, but often shelters superhumans of his own accord; in contrast, the police detective Shiba values societal order above all else, and vigilante Claude seeks a broader justice by any means necessary. When heroes clash, it feels like <i>heroes clashing</i> - various people all trying to do right in their own way, truly depicting the complexity of the pursuit of a better world. At times, it feels totally understandable that many of the heroes within Conrevo end up seeking their <i>own</i> heroes, people who can embody the “pure, unquestioned justice” that seems out of their own reach. In a world where pursuing justice means breaking the peace, and maintaining freedom means taking unjust actions, the hero who embodies peace, justice, <i>and</i>freedom can be hard to find.</p> <p><cite class="e anime">Concrete Revolutio</cite>'s politics are far more jaded than you usually get in superhero stories, something that may not sit well with some audiences. While student protests are often framed as heroic on an individual level, they are almost invariably manipulated by larger organizations with much murkier goals. Government agencies and private-sector corporations will freely shift their moral guidelines in order to pursue new objectives or make necessary compromises, and the United States is framed as almost unquestioningly (and unsurprisingly, given the setting) malicious. The aforementioned time-travel episode perhaps best encapsulates the show's moral fatigue, when a time-traveling hero who's made compromises with the government ends up having to fight his own younger, more hardline idealist self. <cite class="e anime">Concrete Revolutio</cite> is angry and driven, but its framing speaks of a grim acceptance of many of the harsher realities of the world.</p> <p>The show's incredible thematic/character/narrative busyness is further complicated by the narrative's wild time-shifting. Even within the first episode, character introductions are transposed against those characters' later clashes, and most episodes end with a cutaway to some mysterious, shattered future. Initially confusing, the shifts in timeline eventually come into focus as painting a clear picture of Japan as affected by the war, postwar Japan, and the Japan the protagonist Jiro eventually comes to rally against in pursuit of his own justice. It's ultimately just one more natural piece of a story that seems determined to talk about absolutely everything.</p> <p>Conrevo's aesthetics match the creativity of its storytelling. Wild pop-art backgrounds make for a very distinctive visual look, with settings often looking intentionally flat and comic-book styled to match the golden age superhero characters. Vivid pastels and angular shading contrast against a wide diversity of character designs, with superheroes of many distinct visual styles making for a rich cross-section of classic anime/manga icons. There are all sorts of visual callouts to actual classic characters, but these references are really just window dressing on a show perfectly capable of defining its own style.</p> <p>The show's animation is normally just serviceable, and occasionally gets worse than that, with some fights relying heavily on either stills or poor cycles of animation. There are also fairly regular action highlights, though, with episodes like the third and the finale beautifully matching the drama of the storytelling. The music is heavy on driving guitars, but can also whip out some clever, diverse songs that fit nicely for the show's genre-crossing aspirations. There are 60s-style pop-rock songs appropriate for the student protests, twinkling melodies for Kikko's magical witch moments, and even some melancholy, glitchy electronic tracks for the dreams of the lonely Earth-chan.</p> <p>Overall, Conrevo is a rich and busy shows that sometimes stumbles in its narrative execution, but always surprises with more great ideas. Featuring a broad and engaging cast, an uneven but overall satisfying collection of episodic adventures, and a politically searing underlying narrative, it is as creative and engaging as message fiction can get. If you're down for a incisive love letter to superheroes that doubles as a scathing critique of society, get over here and join the revolutio.</p> </div></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <script ann_init="display_synopsis_layout()"> function display_synopsis_layout() { var s = document.getElementById('small-synopsis'); var sA = document.getElementById('small-synopsis-area'); var b = document.getElementById('big-synopsis'); var bA = document.getElementById('big-synopsis-area'); var big = (sA.offsetHeight || bA.offsetHeight) > 306; s.style.display = (big ?

Cet épisode se penche sur les sœurs jumelles, Chika et Chiaki Sawada, deux demoiselles originaires de l'île d'Hokkaido. Si Chika est pétillante et pleine d'entrain, Chiaki est plus effacée et renfrognée. La première a réussi du premier coup le concours d'entrée, mais a sacrifié une année pour attendre que sa sœur soit aussi admise dans l'école. Peu à peu un <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=6309">ressentiment</a></cite> s'est créé entre elles : Chiaki a toujours voulu incarner des rôles plus discrets, l'essentiel étant d'être en scène avec Chika, qui a plus d'ambition et rêve de jouer Juliette dans la pièce de Shakespeare. Elles vont se fâcher et Sarasa propose qu'elles se séparent, chacune étant invitée à partager sa chambre l'une avec Sarasa, la seconde avec Ai. Bien évidemment, on a droit à un quiproquo classique de confusion des deux élèves. Alors que tous préparent la fête des sports, événement qui n'a lieu que tous les dix ans, la 100<sup>e</sup> promotion est chargée de la gestion des questions de logistique. Cette journée vise à mettre en lumière les troupes (été, printemps, hiver, automne), et d'animer les interludes. Pour ce faire, elles répètent avec la crème de la crème : les Spécialistes, un groupe à part entière constitué des doyennes de Koka. L'enjeu est de taille. Alors quand l'une d'entre elles pensant parler à Chika, interpelle Chiaka qui la snobe, on frôle l'incident diplomatique. Encore une fois, heureusement que la grande Sarasa est là pour désamorcer la situation…</p> <p><b>Note : <span class="star_rating h20"> <span class="bar" style="width:90.0px"></span> <span class="stars"></span> </span> </b></p> <p><em> <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=24087">Kageki Shoujo!!</a></cite> est diffusé sur <a href="https://www.wakanim.tv/fr/v2/catalogue/show/1422/kageki-shojo">Wakanim</a>. </em></p> <div align="center"><p><button class="js-content" onclick="document.location='/fr/review/kageki-shoujo/episode-13/.178407'">&lt;prev</button><select class="js-content" onchange="document.location=this.value"><option value="/fr/review/kageki-shoujo/episode-2/.175965">Episode 2</option> <option value="/fr/review/kageki-shoujo/episode-3/.175966">Episode 3</option> <option value="/fr/review/kageki-shoujo/episode-4/.176049">Episode 4</option> <option value="/fr/review/kageki-shoujo/episode-5/.176050">Episode 5</option> <option value="/fr/review/kageki-shoujo/episode-6/.176386">Episode 6</option> <option value="/fr/review/kageki-shoujo/episode-7/.176387">Episode 7</option> <option value="/fr/review/kageki-shoujo/episode-8/.177220">Episode 8</option> <option value="/fr/review/kageki-shoujo/episode-10/.177224">Episode 10</option> <option value="/fr/review/kageki-shoujo/episode-11/.177883">Episode 11</option> <option value="/fr/review/kageki-shoujo/episode-12/.177884">Episode 12</option> <option value="/fr/review/kageki-shoujo/episode-13/.178407">Episode 13</option> <option value="/fr/review/kageki-shoujo/episode-9/.177222" selected>Episode 9</option></select></p></div> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> <hr> <div id="social-bookmarks"> mettre en favori/partager avec : <span onclick="social_share_177222('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_177222('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_177222(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/fr/review/kageki-shoujo/episode-9/.177222"; var title = "Kageki Shoujo!!

Not content to sit on one of anime's most magnificent soundtracks in <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=73">Rurouni Kenshin</a></cite>, <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=132">Taku Iwasaki</a></cite> changed directions completely with a subtle, haunting score for <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=913">Witch Hunter Robin</a></cite>, and now he's taken another leap with <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=819">Read or Die</a></cite>. There's still a ghost of his simple yet striking piano melodies, but they step out of the spotlight in favor of a jazzier theme.<br> <br> A spy-thriller opening theme with a touch of parody is the perfect introduction to a show like <cite class="e anime">Read or Die</cite>, which is much more comical than Iwasaki's past canvases. What really surprised me is that Iwasaki sounds completely at home with his jazz themes and lighter atmosphere. <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=140">Kenji Kawai</a></cite> tried a similar stylistic 180 when he went from <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=408">Patlabor</a></cite> to <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=2126">Gunparade March</a></cite>, but it still sounded unnaturally heavy, like how Shostakovich used to take subtle jabs at Stalin, except Kawai's plodding marches weren't so devious. Iwasaki, on the other hand, sounds like he's been composing jazz for years.<br> <br> Much like his previous works, Iwasaki starts with three or four core themes and then mixes and matches variations into a full soundtrack. That, of course, leads to a fair amount of repetition, so listening from start to finish in one sitting isn't recommended. He also wrote a couple of pure background tracks—music directly "connected" to the show, according to Iwasaki's Kenshin comments. These aren't worth more than a cursory listen. Everything else, though, is fun and entertaining.<br> </td></tr> <tr><td> <br> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="140" height="44" border="0" data-src="/images/SOUNDDECIS/3/hitormiss.gif" class="lazyload"><br> <a href="/sound-decision/2004-05-25/3">Spriggan</a> <i>—<cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=2">ADV</a></cite> Music</i><br> <br> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" class="fright lazyload" width="175" height="158" border="1" data-src="/thumbnails/max300x600/SOUNDDECIS/88/spriggan.jpg"><a></a><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=224">Spriggan</a></cite>'s music is ripe for an outlandish sci-fi series. Sure, it has a fair share of trance and techno-pop, but most of the <cite class="e anime">Spriggan</cite> <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=74">OST</a></cite> review's I've read have completely ignored the real core of the soundtrack, the elegant, heroic string pieces. You know the sound: foreboding cymbal rolls, triumphant brass chords, otherworldly choral explosions, and high-pitched trembling from the strings. Think ET, or Star Trek, or <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=20775">Babylon</a></cite> 5. This is the sound that anchors the soundtrack at the beginning, middle, and end.<br> <br> From there, we get into the experimental compositions, which sound more reasonable with the structure of the string pieces. Primal tracks like "FFF•Cross" and "Noa" are truly shocking to the senses, as they burst from a quiet hum into a violent cacophony of brass and synth. The closing song, "Jin Lin," is in Mandarin and will surely draw inappropriate comparisons to <cite class="e person">Yoko Kanno</cite>'s "<cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=910">Stand Alone Complex</a></cite>" themes. This one's drab and clumsy—not even in the same league as Kanno's work.<br> <br> Be sure to take note of how carefully <cite class="e anime">Spriggan</cite>'s soundtrack is put together. While most techno that finds its way into anime is garbled nonsense, this one feels like <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=3110">Kuniaki Haishima</a></cite> had a purpose in mind. While there are plenty of sudden changes and unexpected turns, you'll still notice a story progressing, which is more than I can say for most "edgy" soundtracks.<br> </td></tr> <tr><td> <br> <br> <a href="/sound-decision/2004-05-25/4">Healing Series: Progress</a> <i>—<cite class="e company">Geneon</cite></i><br> <br> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" class="fright lazyload" width="174" height="178" border="1" data-src="/thumbnails/max300x600/SOUNDDECIS/88/progress.jpg"><a></a>Ever wake up from the middle of a good dream, rub your eyes, wander around your room for a few minutes, look in the mirror, lie back down, and try to get right back to sleep? Yeah, it usually doesn't work too well. Three months ago I listened to Beginnings and Gemini, the first two discs in <cite class="e company">Geneon</cite>'s New Age trilogy. I finally got a chance to hear the third, and I found it very difficult to jump back in.<br> <br> This kind of music isn't made for background in anime, or even your car stereo. It requires you to fall under its spell to work; otherwise, it's just lowly elevator music. With all the time between discs, the spell didn't work for me this time.<br> <br> So can I still write a useful review? I think so. Progress is part of a natural, well, progression of music from world-famous pianist <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=25713">Yuriko Nakamura</a></cite> and violinist <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=13344">Norihiro Tsuru</a></cite>. It's different from most classical music you hear because it's very minimalist. The instrument selection is also slightly off-center, like a plaintive oboe instead of the hollower clarinet. Whether you like it at all depends on your mood and your personality.<br> <br> If you can't buy into the spirituality of music, this isn't a CD for you. If you want to give it a try, get Beginnings and Gemini first, and then spring for Progress if you're hooked.</td></tr> </tbody></table> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> <hr> <div id="social-bookmarks"> bookmark/share with: <span onclick="social_share_7899('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_7899('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_7899(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/sound-decision/2004-05-25"; var title = "Sound Decision - California Dreams"; var ssurl, ssoptions = 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,'; if (action == "facebook") { ssurl = 'https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=' + encodeURI(url); ssoptions += 'height=300px,width=600px'; } if (action == "twitter") { ssurl = 'https://twitter.com/share?url=' + encodeURI(url) + '&text=' + encodeURI(title); ssoptions += 'height=254px,width=600px'; } window.open(ssurl, '', ssoptions); } </script> <a onclick="$('article-7899-shorturl').toggle();this.blur();" class="-clickable"> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="18" height="18" alt="short url" data-src="/images/system/bookmark-shorturl.png" class="lazyload"> </a> <input type="text" id="article-7899-shorturl" style="margin:-4px;display:none;width:140px" value="http://4NN.cx/.7899" readonly> </div> <p> <a href="/sound-decision/">Sound Decision homepage</a> / <a href="/sound-decision/archive" rel="archives">archives</a> </p> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="infinite-scroll-outlet" style="height: 0;"></div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="grid-view thumb-view"> <div> <div class="options-menu requires-javascript"> <div class="minimize-off icon" title="maximize sidebar" onclick="ANN.sidebar.minimize(false);">⬈</div> <div class="minimize-on icon" title="minimize sidebar" onclick="ANN.sidebar.minimize(true);">⬋</div> <div class="images-off icon" title="hide images" onclick="ANN.sidebar.images(false)">-</div> <div class="images-on icon" title="show images" onclick="ANN.sidebar.images(true)">+</div> <div class="open-preferences icon" title="open preferences" data-user-preferences-action-open="sidebar"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#gear"></use></svg> </div> </div> <div class="herald-boxes"> <div class="box iab side"> <div> <noscript> <iframe src="/show.aframe?t=R&amp;js=no" scrolling="no"></iframe> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class="herald box aside reviews t-review" data-topics="article220269 reviews anime"> <div class="category-line reviews t-review"></div> <div class="thumbnail lazyload" style="background-position: 40.000% 18.074%" data-src="/images/cms/review/220269/castlevania-n-season-2.png"> <div class="overlay"> <div class="category reviews t-review"> review </div> <div class="comments"><a href="/cms/discuss/220269">1 comment</a></div> </div> <a href="/review/castlevania/nocturne-season-2-anime-streaming/.220269" data-track="id=182723&amp;from=SB"></a> </div> <div class="wrap"> <div> <h3> <a href="/review/castlevania/nocturne-season-2-anime-streaming/.220269" data-track="id=182723&amp;from=SB"><cite>Castlevania: Nocturne</cite> Season 2 Anime Streaming Review</a> </h3> <div class="byline"> <time datetime="2025-01-21T12:00:00-05:00">Jan 21, 12:00</time> <div class="comments"><a href="/cms/discuss/220269">1 comment</a></div> <span class="topics"> <a topic="anime" href="/all/?topic=anime" target="intro-by-topic"> anime</a> </span> </div> <div class="snippet"> <span class="hook">It may have taken a few tries, but with this second season of <i>Nocturne</i>, the animated <i>Castlevania</i> franchise has finally produced a true masterpiece.</span> <span class="full">― Castlevania is one of the series that I have been privileged to cover since the original Netflix animated project premiered back in 2017.

According to CBC News, "most of the 20 images were anime, although a few appear to be of real girls between five and 13 years old."</p> <p>A student had found a USB drive with the images at a computer lab in April 2014. Newcombe was then arrested and fired from NSCAD, where he had worked for 35 years. He still receives a pension from NSCAD and he works part-time at a friend's cafe.</p> <p>The court also ordered Newcombe to stay away from children under 16 unless supervised by an adult. Newcomb and his wife were foster parents of a teenager, and therefore they must now live apart despite still being married. The defense and prosecution recommended that Newcombe serve the 90-day prison sentence on the weekends, and Laurie Halfpenny MacQuarrie accepted it. Newcombe's sentence also includes two years of probation, continued mental health counseling, a DNA sample on file, and a ban from the Internet.</p> <p>Newcombe expressed remorse for his actions. His lawyer Paul Miller had said during the trial that Newcombe came across the images while searching for adult pornography online. Miller added after the sentencing that the moral of this story is "not to go looking because you never know what you may find that will get you in trouble."</p> <p><em>Source: <a href="http://www.cbc.ca/m/news/canada/nova-scotia/former-nscad-technician-sentenced-for-japanese-anime-child-porn-1.3060068" target="_blank">CBC News</a></em></p> </div> <hr> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> <!--source: ...--> <div> <a href="/cms/discuss/87812">discuss this in the forum (99 posts)</a> | <div id="social-bookmarks"> bookmark/share with: <span onclick="social_share_87812('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_87812('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_87812(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-05-04/nova-scotia-man-sentenced-to-90-days-for-child-porn-including-anime/.87812"; var title = "Nova Scotia Man Sentenced to 90 Days for Child Porn, Including 'Anime'"; var ssurl, ssoptions = 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,'; if (action == "facebook") { ssurl = 'https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=' + encodeURI(url); ssoptions += 'height=300px,width=600px'; } if (action == "twitter") { ssurl = 'https://twitter.com/share?url=' + encodeURI(url) + '&text=' + encodeURI(title); ssoptions += 'height=254px,width=600px'; } window.open(ssurl, '', ssoptions); } </script> <a onclick="$('article-87812-shorturl').toggle();this.blur();" class="-clickable"> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="18" height="18" alt="short url" data-src="/images/system/bookmark-shorturl.png" class="lazyload"> </a> <input type="text" id="article-87812-shorturl" style="margin:-4px;display:none;width:140px" value="http://4NN.cx/.87812" readonly> </div> <p> <small> this article has been modified since it was originally posted; see <a href="/cms/changelog/87812" rel="nofollow">change history</a> </small> </p> </div> <p> <a href="/news/">News homepage</a> / <a href="/news/archive" rel="archives">archives</a> </p> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="infinite-scroll-outlet" style="height: 0;"></div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="grid-view thumb-view"> <div> <div class="options-menu requires-javascript"> <div class="minimize-off icon" title="maximize sidebar" onclick="ANN.sidebar.minimize(false);">⬈</div> <div class="minimize-on icon" title="minimize sidebar" onclick="ANN.sidebar.minimize(true);">⬋</div> <div class="images-off icon" title="hide images" onclick="ANN.sidebar.images(false)">-</div> <div class="images-on icon" title="show images" onclick="ANN.sidebar.images(true)">+</div> <div class="open-preferences icon" title="open preferences" data-user-preferences-action-open="sidebar"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#gear"></use></svg> </div> </div> <div class="herald-boxes"> <div class="box iab side"> <div> <noscript> <iframe src="/show.aframe?t=R&amp;js=no" scrolling="no"></iframe> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class="herald box aside reviews t-review" data-topics="article220269 reviews anime"> <div class="category-line reviews t-review"></div> <div class="thumbnail lazyload" style="background-position: 40.000% 18.074%" data-src="/images/cms/review/220269/castlevania-n-season-2.png"> <div class="overlay"> <div class="category reviews t-review"> review </div> <div class="comments"><a href="/cms/discuss/220269">1 comment</a></div> </div> <a href="/review/castlevania/nocturne-season-2-anime-streaming/.220269" data-track="id=182723&amp;from=SB"></a> </div> <div class="wrap"> <div> <h3> <a href="/review/castlevania/nocturne-season-2-anime-streaming/.220269" data-track="id=182723&amp;from=SB"><cite>Castlevania: Nocturne</cite> Season 2 Anime Streaming Review</a> </h3> <div class="byline"> <time datetime="2025-01-21T12:00:00-05:00">Jan 21, 12:00</time> <div class="comments"><a href="/cms/discuss/220269">1 comment</a></div> <span class="topics"> <a topic="anime" href="/all/?topic=anime" target="intro-by-topic"> anime</a> </span> </div> <div class="snippet"> <span class="hook">It may have taken a few tries, but with this second season of <i>Nocturne</i>, the animated <i>Castlevania</i> franchise has finally produced a true masterpiece.</span> <span class="full">― Castlevania is one of the series that I have been privileged to cover since the original Netflix animated project premiered back in 2017.

Though horrified by the gore Momotaro leaves behind, Sartrienne is convinced more than ever that she needs to learn about the world beyond her walls, and journeys out...following the steps of the mysterious, charismatic, terrifying boy she met that day...</blockquote> <p>The cast includes:</p> <div align="center"> <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=104544">Haruka Shiraishi</a></cite> as Sally, the princess of a small peaceful kingdom who meets Mikoto and embarks on a journey to the outside world.

Maybe it's because I married my wife in a gorgeous aquarium, or maybe I find an incredibly satisfying sense of satisfaction in lording my freedom and intelligence over the stupid little ocean demons trapped behind all that steel and glass. Either way, aquariums are cool, and you can bet that I was basking in all of the glorious nostalgia from Taiki and Chinatsu's lovely little date.</p> <p>As has been the case since the get-go with <i><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=30789">Blue Box</a></cite></i>, this adaptation is so successful in how utterly and completely it manages to represent the earnest, all-consuming emotions that take over kids when they're in love. It isn't reinventing the wheel in any way, shape, or form. It is taking these classic romantic drama tropes and executing them with such precision and empathy that it becomes impossible to not get swept up in everything. There are so many little moments that I could highlight about how well <i><cite class="e anime">Blue Box</cite></i> gets you into the head of (most of) its protagonists: Taiki's goofy little push-up spree outside of his own house to hype himself up; the overwhelming mix of anticipation and fear that he feels when he considers that Chinatsu might actually <i>like</i> him enough to ask him out on a for-realsies date; the simple joy of discovering that Chinatsu looks exactly as beautiful in that summer dress as he imagined. I have <i>been</i> there, and it's a great feeling to reminisce with the power of sappy young adult romance cartoons. The badminton is even more exciting and well-directed this week. It seems like <i><cite class="e anime">Blue Box</cite></i> is determined to be the show I want it to be!</p> <p>Except, perhaps, for one thing. We're five episodes into this season, now, and “Aquarium” has helped me articulate the only real criticism I have for how <i><cite class="e anime">Blue Box</cite></i> is handling its story. The show has demonstrated that we're not completely locked into just Taiki's perspective, and the excellent emotional cliffhanger that we leave Hina on at the end of this very episode shows just how good <i><cite class="e anime">Blue Box</cite></i> can be when it gives the narrative reigns over to other characters. Still, even over a month into its run, I feel like the story is keeping us at a noticeable distance when it comes to Chinatsu's emotions. She's a great character but feels ever so slightly out of reach in a way that makes sense for how <i>Taiki</i> might see her. However, that's not the case for a more removed omniscient perspective like ours. </p> <p>For everything the show has done to put us in Taiki's shoes when it comes to his feelings for Chinatsu, we hardly have any understanding of how Chinatsu feels about, well…<i>anything</i>, really, but especially her feelings about Taiki. We have plenty of context clues and words left unsaid but she comes across as so detached from the heightened romance-anime scenario she's found herself living in that it's harder to accept her as the “real” teenager that Taiki so easily comes across as. Maybe she's not as romantically or intimately inclined as Taiki, but we've gotten enough stray blushes and sideways glances that I'm not sure we're supposed to read the character as being uninterested in or unattracted to Taiki. Does she truly not feel <i>anything</i> weird or tempting or frustrating about suddenly sharing a living space with a boy who is so obviously in love with her that even Garth Marenghi would tell the kid to tone it down a notch? I'm not saying that I need her to be falling over herself like Taiki but I'd like to see <i>some</i> kind of interiority and potential conflict within the character. </p> <p>Given how good everything surrounding Chinatsu is, I can forgive this anime if it falls short of literal perfection. For all its cheesy anime contrivance, the moment where Hina is suddenly left shocked and confused by learning that Taiki and Chinatsu live together still hits so damned hard. I just wish that <i>every</i> female character in <i><cite class="e anime">Blue Box</cite></i> was given such great material to work with.</p> <p><b>Rating: <span class="star_rating h20"> <span class="bar" style="width:90.0px"></span> <span class="stars"></span> </span> </b> </p> <p><em> <cite class="e anime">Blue Box</cite> is currently streaming on <a href="https://www.netflix.com/id-en/title/81663323">Netflix</a>. </em> </p> <p><em> James is a writer with many thoughts and feelings about anime and other pop-culture, which can also be found on <a href="https://twitter.com/KickTheBeckett">Twitter</a>, <a href="https://kickthebeckett.com/">his blog</a>, and <a href="https://audioboom.com/channels/4997956"> his podcast</a>. </em> </p> <div align="center"><p><button class="js-content" onclick="document.location='/review/blue-box/episode-4/.217177'">&lt;prev</button><select class="js-content" onchange="document.location=this.value"><option value="/review/blue-box/episodes-1-3/.216916">Episodes 1-3</option> <option value="/review/blue-box/episode-4/.217177">Episode 4</option> <option value="/review/blue-box/episode-5/.217437" selected>Episode 5</option> <option value="/review/blue-box/episode-6/.217667">Episode 6</option> <option value="/review/blue-box/episode-7/.217953">Episode 7</option> <option value="/review/blue-box/episode-8/.218194">Episode 8</option> <option value="/review/blue-box/episode-9/.218431">Episode 9</option> <option value="/review/blue-box/episode-10/.218715">Episode 10</option> <option value="/review/blue-box/episode-11/.219067">Episode 11</option> <option value="/review/blue-box/episode-12/.219358">Episode 12</option> <option value="/review/blue-box/episode-13/.219693">Episode 13</option> <option value="/review/blue-box/episode-14/.219934">Episode 14</option> <option value="/review/blue-box/episode-15/.220186">Episode 15</option></select><button class="js-content" onclick="document.location='/review/blue-box/episode-6/.217667'">next&gt;</button></p></div> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> <hr> <a href="/cms/discuss/217437">discuss this in the forum (32 posts)</a> | <div id="social-bookmarks"> bookmark/share with: <span onclick="social_share_217437('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_217437('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_217437(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/blue-box/episode-5/.217437";

This <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=23089">86</a></cite> minute movie, subtitled <i>Home Sweet Home</i>, is neither a summative movie nor a stand-alone production; while newcomers to the <cite class="e lexicon">franchise</cite> can probably at least basically follow the story and characterizations, much of the depth and finer points of the character interactions will be lost. Neither is this the continuation that some have been hoping for. It is, instead, a side story aimed entirely at established fans, one which falls at some point after Yuina decides to get more serious about pursuing a career in inn operation (i.e., episode 15) but before Enishi and Takako declare their engagement (i.e., episode 21); sometime between episodes 20 and 21 seems most likely.</p> <p>Just because it is a side story, though, does not mean that it is frivolous. To be sure, a fair amount of the content it depicts just more everyday scenes of inn operation procedures or various characters letting their personalities show in sometime-comical, sometimes-touching ways. (Tomoe's behavior is particularly amusing.) Just as normal for the TV series, little crises regularly come up, such as Nako's near-implosion when some trouble with one of her siblings causes the stress to get to her, when the power fails to come back on as planned, or when Minko agonizes over how to interpret the messages Tohru is sending by his disapproval of her cooking. (Though he can be as irritatingly blunt as ever, his responses are still loaded with meaning if interpreted right, something that the <cite class="e lexicon">franchise</cite> has always done an excellent job of depicting.) All of these are done just as well as they were in the series, and the cast members involved are just as charming and richly-portrayed; Ohana in particular continues to be a delight, once again showing how a character can step far beyond base <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=77">moe</a></cite> trappings in her appeal. In other words, anyone enchanted with the TV series will probably find little to be disappointed about in this content.</p> <p>The real draw of the movie, though, is in its flashbacks focusing on Satsuki, which take up perhaps a quarter of the running time. The series did a good job of laying out who Satsuki was, what her relationship was with mother Sui, and why, but the flashbacks here flesh her out considerably more and complete the picture that was merely framed in the series. It shows, in abundant clarity, how Satsuki's personality and temperament were just too much of a misfit for an institution like Kissuiso, and how ironic it was that her daughter ended up taking the completely opposite path to discovering who she was, what she wanted, and how to “sparkle.” Especially telling is a late scene where Satsuki returns to Kissuiso while Ohana is still an infant and meets Bean, but she only looks in on her mother and comes to a new level of determination after seeing her in action. It and the way Ohana reflects on it and comes to a new level of understanding about her mother are the moments which round out what had, until that point, merely been a pretty good story, and it also provides for one of the movie's best scenes: the final one, which juxtaposes Satsuki running for vastly different reasons at three very different ages and then transposes Ohana into the mix, too.</p> <p>As with the series, <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=4769">P.A. Works</a></cite> again provides the animation production while <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=934">Studio Easter</a></cite> provides the background art, creating a movie that is every bit up to the high standards set by the TV series but not significantly beyond it. Background visuals are outstanding in detail, while character designs make all of the casts distinctive and interesting-looking. Every once in a while the character rendering falters just a little, it is never a consistent problem, and the animation allows for an effective display of character emotions and mostly smooth movements. Like the series, it does innocuously slip in some mild fan service in some bath scenes, but it never has the lurid feel typical of fan service-focused shows. The musical score is also stylistically in line with the series – typically understated, more there to gently support than to dramatically lead – with a mix of themes recycled from the series and some new ones.</p> <p>As a release of <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=8667">NIS America</a></cite>, it naturally comes without an English <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=98">dub</a></cite>. On-disk Extras are limited to Japanese trailers for the movie, but like all deluxe NISA releases, it comes in a long art box with a long, hard-backed booklet. In this case it provides a running scene-by-scene commentary by director <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=3027">Masahiro Andō</a></cite> as it features various concept art, background art, and side comments from other production personnel and voice actors. Ando's comments are very insightful and point out several hidden details and references that even astute fans of the <cite class="e lexicon">franchise</cite> may miss; you will want to go back and rewatch the movie to try to catch everything after having read it. The book closes out with a two-page spread featuring the entire cast. Blu-Ray quality is merely fair on both the visual and audio front; in the latter case only an LPCM Stereo 48k mix is used, which does not make for an especially rich sound.</p> <p>At 66 minutes the running time of the movie feels about exactly right for the story that it wants to tell.

I cannot think of another series using a squad/team-based system which has done this. The result is an episode which would probably make the Top Five list for the series' biggest visual spectacles and is easily the most action-intensive episode since the climax of the Elf Reincarnation arc.<p>The premise for the team-up is a basic but at least easily-justifiable one: the captains are essentially putting on a demonstration of the height of the Clover Kingdom's power, both as a morale-booster for the Magic Knight Squads and as a message to the people that the kingdom's defense is in capable hands. And if that orgy of powerful magic should all happen to play into the Wizard King's fanboyish love for creative magic use, well, that's just gravy, right? Maybe just as importantly, this is not a battle about settling scores or anything like that. Pride may be on the line for most of the Captains (they would not be deserving of the title if their pride was not at stake), but this is just as much about what Captains who do not commonly work together getting to see what each other can do. That could be valuable in a tactical sense in upcoming massed battles.</p> <p>That is exactly all of the plot to the episode. The rest is just action in assorted venues – over water, in forests, in a dream realm – and the flashy exchanges which result from that. As it has on occasion before, the production team gave this episode extra effort and talent, which shows clearly in several involved, vibrant action displays, whether it's Nozel's bird of mercury crashing as one of its legs gets melted off, Yami using his Equinox attack again, Jack slicing through a massive fireball, or a trio of Captains on each side combining their efforts to pit a mighty whirlwind against a giant version of Salamander. Each of the Captains gets their turn to shine, though the greatest emphasis falls on Yami and Nozel on one side and Fuegeleon on the other. Charlotte gets the least to do in the battles, though her fixation on Yami still allows her to have about as much screen time as the others.</p> <p style="clear:left"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="200" height="204" class="fleft lazyload" border="1" data-src="/thumbnails/fit200x1000/cms/episode-review.2/166214/black-clover152_2.jpg">That fixation also contributes in the return of Petit Clover. In the dream realm battle, Yami had to fight duplicates of himself, so when Charlotte finds out about that she cannot help but imagine Yami duplicates doing sexy poses and demeanors. That makes for one of the funnier such installments we've seen in a long time. That makes for a fun cap to a fun episode.</p> <p>As a final thought, anyone else agree that the guy from <i>Yakuza: Like a Dragon</i> has to be Yami's long-lost twin brother?</p> <p><b>Rating: <span

Instead of chronicling one of <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=270023">&amp;TEAM</a></cite> 7's adventures, the latest storyline (an adaptation of a 2016 novel) is a road trip comedy starring Mirai, Kakashi, and Guy. Upon learning that she's been tasked with escorting Kakashi, one of her personal idols, and Guy (whom she has far less reverence for) on a trip, Mirai is over the moon. Believing her latest assignment surpasses an S-rank mission, she can't wait to hit the road with two of the Leaf's greatest heroes. However, by the end of the first day, it becomes clear that Kakashi and Guy aren't on a mission—but rather a hot springs tour. Furthermore, just as Mirai begins getting comfortable with the idea, Kakashi reveals that this “mission” is set to last for 20 days—as opposed to the two-day timeline Mirai had prepared for. With the Land of Steam being the gang's next stop, Mirai ends the episode by reflecting on the prospect of visiting the home country of her father's killer.</p> <p>It's always nice to get an extended peek at what the previous generation's key players are up to, and Kakashi and Guy make for a consistently fun pairing. Throw in Mirai to act as both an audience-insert and an effective comic foil, and you've got a winning combination of old and new. Her unwavering dedication to her “mission” provides an amusing juxtaposition to Kakashi's and Guy's laidback attitudes, and since the bit would have gotten old if drawn out for too long, her misreading of the situation is cleared up fairly quickly. Given this arc's premise, it should come as no surprise that episode 106 contains a bevy of hilarious moments, most notably Kakashi treating a specific filming location from <i>Make-Out Paradise</i>'s big-screen adaptation like hallowed ground. </p> <p>While this isn't necessarily a mark against the <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=70">franchise</a></cite>, side stories like this demonstrate that <cite class="e anime">Boruto: Naruto Next Generations</cite> is often more focused on being a sequel or continuation to the parent series than a starring vehicle for Boruto. Again, this isn't really a bad thing, as this series' connection to what came before is likely what drives fan interest, and as a protagonist, Boruto isn't quite as interesting as his old man. Plus, with an enormous cast comprised of two generations of characters, having to shoehorn the current iteration of <cite class="e person">&amp;TEAM</cite> 7 is liable to seem cumbersome. That being said, it <i>is</i> a little strange to see Boruto so frequently omitted or reduced to supporting status on his own show. </p> <p>With a premise that's ripe for shenanigans, the latest arc is off to a very strong start. Kakashi and Guy continue to play off one another nicely, and it's nice to see Mirai receive some time in the spotlight. Having grown up without a father, she may have even more in common with Naruto than his own son, and seeing her come to terms with this absence might provide some compelling parallels to Naruto's journey.

However, after that, Suzuki firmly denied that Miyazaki can release his next proposed feature film in 2019.</p> <p>The <i>Owaranai Hito Miyazaki Hayao</i> (The Man Who Is Not Done: <cite class="e person">Hayao Miyazaki</cite>) television <a href="/interest/2016-10-12/hayao-miyazaki-gets-nhk-tv-special-on-his-new-cg-short/.107477">special</a> had aired on Japan's public broadcaster <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=494">NHK</a></cite> in November. In the special, Miyazaki <a href="/news/2016-11-13/hayao-miyazaki-works-on-proposed-new-anime-feature-film/.108775">reported</a> that he wants to return to making an anime feature film after the "<cite class="e anime">Kemushi no Boro</cite>" short.</p> <p>According to the special, Miyazaki was not satisfied with doing just the CG short, and he presented a project proposal for a feature-length film last August. Despite not officially receiving a green-light for the feature film, Miyazaki decided to start animation work on the project anyway. He planned on creating storyboards for about 100 cuts of footage.</p> <p>The November television special showed the feature film's proposed schedule, in which Miyazaki suggested that the film could be done by 2019 — before the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. However, Suzuki stated at Saturday's convention that this proposed schedule is simply impossible.</p> <p>Suzuki had commented in the television special that Miyazaki would draw storyboards until he dies, and another staffer dryly noted that this would make the movie a huge hit.</p> <p style="clear:left"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" border="1" class="fleft lazyload" width="300" height="200" data-src="/thumbnails/max300x600/cms/news/29121/1083_019817-p.jpg">Miyazaki rose to prominence in the 1970s on such television anime series as <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=3053">Lupin III</a></cite>, <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=899">Future Boy Conan</a></cite>, and <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=290">Sherlock Hound</a></cite>.

One day his widower father announces that he has suddenly found a new woman to make his wife, and surprise surprise, her two daughters just so happen to be Hina <i>and</i> Rui. Now everyone is going to be living together under one roof. </p> <p> “By Any Chance, Did We Do It?” picks up exactly where the first episode left off, with our love-struck protagonist trying to steal a kiss from the sleeping Hina, just as Rui walks in to catch her new step-brother about to lock lips with her unconscious sister. It's certainly not the best way Natsuo could go about establishing new sibling dynamics, and the rest of the episode does a surprisingly good job of exploring Natsuo's deeply confused feelings about having two new sisters, one who he desperately wants to sleep with and one being the only person he's actually <em>had</em> sex with. </p> <p>To <cite class="e anime">Domestic Girlfriend</cite>'s credit, it's clear that Natsuo recognizes it was a bad move to even consider taking advantage of Hina's drunken state – there's a sad tendency for such antics to be brushed off as “boys will be boys” behavior, but it's definitely a crime to kiss a woman who can't consent. Natsuo didn't follow through on his temptation and while I don't doubt he <em>would have</em> if Rui hadn't interrupted, he does seem to possess enough self-reflection to still be sympathetic, for now at least.</p> <p>It helps that Natsuo has an earnest chemistry with Rui, who is easily the show's best character. She's presented as the typically gruff and socially awkward love interest, but not in the way that feels unrelatable or fetishistic. The best scene in both episodes occurs when Natsuo is trying to establish a better friendship with Rui now that she's transferred to his school, and he realizes that she's oblivious enough to social cues that it's impacting her ability to make friends. He and Rui end up engaging in adorable banter that's so perfectly anime that the other kids in the class think they're improvising some kind of comedy skit, which endears the other students to Rui's eccentric charm. Natsuo's satisfied smile afterward demonstrates that he truly wants to be a good brother to Rui, making him more compelling as a protagonist. </p> <p> The conversation that Rui and Natsuo share later in the washroom is another example of how <cite class="e anime">Domestic Girlfriend</cite> is shockingly good at taking this incredibly dumb premise seriously. Yeah, it's a little too easy for Rui to just be cool with chatting Natsuo up while she's taking a bath, but it makes more sense now that it's clear she isn't just writing Natsuo off. Just like him, she's trying to figure out how she feels about their tryst; both of them are now testing out their boundaries as siblings, while reckoning not only with the knowledge that they've slept together before, but with the unspoken understanding that it could easily happen again. Is this in any way appropriate, realistic, or healthy? Hell no, but I don't think that's what <cite class="e anime">Domestic Girlfriend</cite>'s target audience is looking for.</p> <p>Then there's Hina, who presents the biggest hurdle <cite class="e anime">Domestic Girlfriend</cite> has to overcome. While Natsuo probably shouldn't be lusting after his new sisters in general, he <i>definitely</i> shouldn't be trying to get with his adult step-sister/teacher, especially since her current boyfriend troubles seem to have put her in a fragile emotional state. Also, while Hina's casual attitude toward Natsuo is well-intentioned, it's also dangerously unprofessional – yeah, he's her brother now, but she's still the adult in the relationship, and she remains responsible for making the right choices when the teenagers around her cannot. At one point, Hina flat-out admits that she tends to get inappropriately intimate when she drinks; it's apparently so common that she immediately assumes <i>she's</i> the one who might have kissed Natsuo, and it doesn't even seem to bother her much.</p> <p>To be fair to <cite class="e anime">Domestic Girlfriend</cite>, the show seems to be painting these qualities as character flaws, but I'm also not naïve enough to think that this romantic melodrama won't involve Hina and Natsuo getting much closer, and that's going to be a much tougher sell than his relationship with Rui. It's one thing for a taboo romance to be shared between two confused teenagers who had a sexual relationship prior to becoming step-siblings. If Hina somehow ends up crossing that line with Natsuo, then we're factoring in additional layers of minor abuse and manipulation that will make her extremely unsympathetic. We'll just have to see where the show goes from here. </p> <p>My reservations about Hina aside, I was pleasantly surprised by <cite class="e anime">Domestic Girlfriend</cite>'s first two episodes. The animation and direction is a little flat, but the script is more compelling than expected, and I'm becoming invested in seeing all of the doubtlessly terrible decisions our three leads will make over the course of the season. I'm sure I'll disapprove of nearly everything that happens within this dysfunctional family unit, but that doesn't mean we can't also have fun with it. </p> <p><strong>Rating: B- </strong></p> <p><em> <cite class="e anime">Domestic Girlfriend</cite> is currently streaming on <a href="https://www.hidive.com/tv/domestic-girlfriend">HIDIVE</a>. </em></p> <p><em> James is an English teacher who has loved anime his entire life, and he spends way too much time on <a href="https://twitter.com/KickTheBeckett">Twitter</a> and <a href="https://kickthebeckett.wordpress.com/">his blog</a>. </em></p> <div align="center"><p><select class="js-content" onchange="document.location=this.value"><option value="/review/domestic-girlfriend/episodes-1-2/.142305" selected>Episodes 1-2</option> <option value="/review/domestic-girlfriend/episode-3/.142604">Episode 3</option> <option value="/review/domestic-girlfriend/episode-4/.142927">Episode 4</option> <option value="/review/domestic-girlfriend/episode-5/.143255">Episode 5</option> <option value="/review/domestic-girlfriend/episode-6/.143533">Episode 6</option> <option value="/review/domestic-girlfriend/episode-7/.143823">Episode 7</option> <option value="/review/domestic-girlfriend/episode-8/.144111">Episode 8</option> <option value="/review/domestic-girlfriend/episode-9/.144364">Episode 9</option> <option value="/review/domestic-girlfriend/episode-10/.144631">Episode 10</option> <option value="/review/domestic-girlfriend/episode-11/.144870">Episode 11</option> <option value="/review/domestic-girlfriend/episode-12/.145208">Episode 12</option></select><button class="js-content" onclick="document.location='/review/domestic-girlfriend/episode-3/.142604'">next&gt;</button></p></div> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> <hr> <a href="/cms/discuss/142305">discuss this in the forum (83 posts)</a> | <div id="social-bookmarks"> bookmark/share with: <span onclick="social_share_142305('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_142305('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_142305(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/domestic-girlfriend/episodes-1-2/.142305";

Until now, I've been doing my best towards my dream for everyone who's been cheering for me since I was little; that hasn't changed as I've been fortunate enough to keep at it with full force.

Much to the rejoice of Cable Modem and DSL users everywhere, these high-quality web-based broadcasts allowed fans to watch anime from the convenience of their monitor, at any time of day or night.</p> <p>On Monday, March 26th, the first <a href="http://www.toonamireactor.com" target="out" class="out">Toonami Reactor</a> went online.

The initial launch was a "three month experiment". At the end of June, the experiment ended, and <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=704">Cartoon Network</a></cite> deliberated the future of the <cite class="e company">Toonami</cite> Reactor.</p> <p>Shortly before its re-launch on November 14th, <a href="/news/2001-11-13/streaming-video-on-toonami-reactor" target="in" class="in">a mysterious riddle appeared</a>, hinting at things to come:</p> <center> <cite class="e company">Toonami</cite> Reactor returns once more<br> With four sagas born of eastern lore<br> An epic record of robot wars<br> Of cosmic labors unseen before<br> And creatures torn from legend's yore<br> Of pirate ships, the police...and more.<br> </center> <p>The solution to the riddle came on November 14th, when the <cite class="e company">Toonami</cite> Reactor returned with <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=1280">Daft Punk</a></cite>, the <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=954">Harlock Saga</a></cite>, Starblazers Season 2, and the <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=471">Record of Lodoss War<i> TV</i></a></cite> series. The final saga, of "the police", refers to <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=59">Patlabor</a></cite>, but it has not premiered on the <cite class="e company">Toonami</cite> Reactor yet.</p> <p>Of course, the most ambitious streaming project of 2001 was that of <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=7">Blood: The Last Vampire</a></cite>, streamed on <a href="http://www.sputnik7.com" target="out" class="out">sputnik7.com</a>. On August 28th, the day stores began selling Blood, the movie was also streamed from sputnik7.com for 24 hours! Undoubtedly this method proved highly successful for <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=1106">Manga Entertainment</a></cite>, as Blood became their fastest selling video, ever.

No registration is required -- just sit back and watch the anime!</p> <p>English-speaking fans aren't the only people benefiting from streaming anime. One streaming series, called "<cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=305">Mahō Yūgi</a></cite>" (Magic Witchland) premiered on the <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=598">Lycos Japan</a></cite> website on November 11th.

The series is only streamed in Japanese, but English fans might enjoy the artistic style, as it hails from <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=27">AIC</a></cite>, also known for <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=16">El Hazard</a></cite> and <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=919">Tenchi Muyo!</a></cite> <cite class="e anime">Mahō Yūgi</cite> is a bizarre <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=3">mahou Shoujo</a></cite> series, where witches dress up in bizarre costumes and battle one another to become the best witch in the world. </p> <p>If magical girl anime isn't your style, perhaps "<cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=845">i wish you were here</a></cite>" is better suited for your tastes. The Japanese company <a href="http://e.goo.ne.jp/projecti/onair/index.html" target="out" class="out">e.goo</a>, webcasts episodes of this action-packed anime series. It was recently announced that this series will be <a href="/news/2002-01-13/wish-you-were-here-dvd-information" target="in" class="in">available on DVD</a> starting February 22<sup>nd</sup>. <a name="ghibli"></a> </p> <div align="center"> <h2> <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=60">Studio Ghibli</a></cite> Museum</h2> By <cite class="e person">George Phillips</cite> </div> <p>The recently opened <a href="http://www.ghibli-museum.jp/index.html" target="out" class="out">Ghibli Museum</a> has already attracted a large share of visitors.

Tickets are only 1000 yen (roughly $7.50) for an adult. However, ticket sales are limited to a mere 2400 visitors per day. In November, we reported that these tickets went for as much as 10 times more when <a href="/news/2001-11-20/ghibli-museum-tickets-on-yahoo-auctions" target="in" class="in">auctioned online</a>.

Only titles with significant mainstream appeal like <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=4189">Gundam</a></cite> and Kenshin.</p> <a name="syconet"></a> <div align="center"> <h2>Death of SyCoNet</h2> By <cite class="e person">George Phillips</cite> </div> <p>Two years ago, SyCoNet was one of the largest anime distributors in the industry. Originally a comic distributor, SyCoNet (formerly Syco Distribution) surfed the 1990s anime "wave", becoming one of the largest anime video distributors in America.</p> <p>Surveys passed out at a "leading Anime convention" in 1999 showed that many people were interested in purchasing anime CDs. SyCoNet quickly pounced on this opportunity, and began creating "<a href="/news/1999-10-18/syconet.com-starts-anime-music-division" target="in" class="in">Otaku Music USA</a>. It's highly ambitious aim was to sell anime CDs in America for $10 to $15 dollars, with boxed sets running only slightly higher. Everything seemed to run as planned as the company continued to grow throughout the year.</p> <p>Then disaster struck.</p> <p>Sales rapidly dwindled in 2000, and a week prior to <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=21001">Anime Expo</a></cite> 2000, SyCoNet failed to make payroll for its employees. Worse yet, CEO and founder Sy Picon had a heart attack at <cite class="e company">Anime Expo</cite> 2000, and withdrew from his positions at SyCoNet. This was a grim foreshadowing of events to come for his company.</p> <p>In February 2001, Ross Rojak stepped down as co-CEO of SyCoNet. A scant three months later, a required SEC Filing revealed the internal collapse of the company. 31 million shares, once valued at $2.91, traded for under $.01.</p> <p>We <a href="/news/2001-05-08/syconet-releases-sec-filing-seperates-into-two-companies" target="in" class="in">talked briefly</a> with Mr. William Spears in May. After the SEC Filing, he acquired all of the anime merchandise previously held by SyCoNet, and began work on reconstructing <a href="http://www.animedepot.com" target="out" class="out">Anime Depot</a>.</p> <p>Visitors to Anime Depot today will encounter a much sleeker, more up-to-date store than what existed there a year before. The new Anime Depot was launched after our talk with Mr. Spears.</p> <p>SyCoNet has since halted all operations, and has disappeared from the Anime industry all together, but Anime Depot lives on.</p> <br><hr> <br> <a href="/feature/2002-01-01/14">Previous Article</a> - <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=71">Robotech</a></cite> + <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=5918">Macross</a></cite><br> <a href="/feature/2002-01-01">Back to The Index</a><br> <a href="/feature/2002-01-01/7">Next Article</a> - Closing Editorial<br> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> <hr> <div id="social-bookmarks"> bookmark/share with: <span onclick="social_share_2929('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_2929('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_2929(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/feature/2002-01-01/12"; var title = "2001 - A Year in Review: More News"; var ssurl, ssoptions = 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,'; if (action == "facebook") { ssurl = 'https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=' + encodeURI(url); ssoptions += 'height=300px,width=600px'; } if (action == "twitter") { ssurl = 'https://twitter.com/share?url=' + encodeURI(url) + '&text=' + encodeURI(title); ssoptions += 'height=254px,width=600px'; } window.open(ssurl, '', ssoptions); } </script> <a onclick="$('article-2929-shorturl').toggle();this.blur();" class="-clickable"> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="18" height="18" alt="short url" data-src="/images/system/bookmark-shorturl.png" class="lazyload"> </a> <input type="text" id="article-2929-shorturl" style="margin:-4px;display:none;width:140px" value="http://4NN.cx/.2929" readonly> </div> <p> <small> this article has been modified since it was originally posted; see <a href="/cms/changelog/2929" rel="nofollow">change history</a> </small> </p> <p> back to <a href="/feature/2002-01-01" rel="up">2001: A year in Review</a><br> <a href="/feature/">Feature homepage</a> / <a href="/feature/archive" rel="archives">archives</a> </p> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="infinite-scroll-outlet" style="height: 0;"></div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="grid-view thumb-view"> <div> <div class="options-menu requires-javascript"> <div class="minimize-off icon" title="maximize sidebar" onclick="ANN.sidebar.minimize(false);">⬈</div> <div class="minimize-on icon" title="minimize sidebar" onclick="ANN.sidebar.minimize(true);">⬋</div> <div class="images-off icon" title="hide images" onclick="ANN.sidebar.images(false)">-</div> <div class="images-on icon" title="show images" onclick="ANN.sidebar.images(true)">+</div> <div class="open-preferences icon" title="open preferences" data-user-preferences-action-open="sidebar"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#gear"></use></svg> </div> </div> <div class="herald-boxes"> <div class="box iab side"> <div> <noscript> <iframe src="/show.aframe?t=R&amp;js=no" scrolling="no"></iframe> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class="herald box aside reviews t-review" data-topics="article220269 reviews anime"> <div class="category-line reviews t-review"></div> <div class="thumbnail lazyload" style="background-position: 40.000% 18.074%" data-src="/images/cms/review/220269/castlevania-n-season-2.png"> <div class="overlay"> <div class="category reviews t-review"> review </div> <div class="comments"><a href="/cms/discuss/220269">1 comment</a></div> </div> <a href="/review/castlevania/nocturne-season-2-anime-streaming/.220269" data-track="id=182723&amp;from=SB"></a> </div> <div class="wrap"> <div> <h3> <a href="/review/castlevania/nocturne-season-2-anime-streaming/.220269" data-track="id=182723&amp;from=SB"><cite>Castlevania: Nocturne</cite> Season 2 Anime Streaming Review</a> </h3> <div class="byline"> <time datetime="2025-01-21T12:00:00-05:00">Jan 21, 12:00</time> <div class="comments"><a href="/cms/discuss/220269">1 comment</a></div> <span class="topics"> <a topic="anime" href="/all/?topic=anime" target="intro-by-topic"> anime</a> </span> </div> <div class="snippet"> <span class="hook">It may have taken a few tries, but with this second season of <i>Nocturne</i>, the animated <i>Castlevania</i> franchise has finally produced a true masterpiece.</span> <span class="full">― Castlevania is one of the series that I have been privileged to cover since the original Netflix animated project premiered back in 2017.

US$244,000) to <cite class="e company">Square Enix</cite> at the conclusion of the trial in March 2008. Following an appeal lodged by the defendants, on July 3, 2009, the Seoul High Court ruled that Fantom and Hong Jeong-ho should pay 400 Million Korean Won (approx. US$326,000) to <cite class="e company">Square Enix</cite>.<br> <br> In light of this development, Mr. <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=115081">Yasuhiko Hasegawa</a></cite>, <cite class="e company">Square Enix</cite>'s General Counsel: “We have been consistent in our claims during this lawsuit regarding the value of FINAL FANTASY® VII ADVENT CHILDRENTM and our FINAL FANTASY series, as well as the damages the company has suffered as a result of the modification and adaptation made without obtaining permission. The initial amount awarded in this case, 300 Million Korean Won, was the largest the courts in South Korea have ever awarded in cases infringing one single work of art, and having this figure increased to 400 Million Korean Won following an appeal by the defendants is further affirmation of the severity of this copyright infringement as well as the recognition and value the FINAL FANTASY series has attained in South Korea. <cite class="e company">Square Enix</cite> will continue to take decisive action against any infringements upon our intellectual property, recognizing that this property is one of our most crucial resources.”<br> <br> (Summary of Events)<br> In March 2007, Fantom began the for-profit online distribution of a music video for the song “Sonata of Temptation” by popular Korean pop singer IVY containing an unauthorized live-action scene-for-scene adaptation of a scene from <cite class="e anime">FINAL FANTASY VII ADVENT CHILDREN</cite>. In response to an injunction filed by <cite class="e company">Square Enix</cite>, the Seoul Central District Court ordered Fantom to cease distribution and sales of the video as of April 6, 2007, and subsequently, on March 13, 2008, ordered Fantom to pay damages of 300 Million Korean Won. Fantom and Mr. Hong Jeong-ho appealed this decision and the case was elevated to the Seoul High Court, which on July 3, 2009, issued the decision ordering Fantom and Hong Jeong-ho to pay damages of 400 Million Korean Won.<br> <br> About <cite class="e anime">FINAL FANTASY VII ADVENT CHILDREN</cite><br> Released in September 2005, <cite class="e anime">FINAL FANTASY VII ADVENT CHILDREN</cite> is a CG animated film which was published as a sequel to FINAL FANTASY VII, a <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=19354">PlayStation</a></cite>® game shipped in January 1997.

The film is based on <cite class="e anime">JUJUTSU KAISEN 0</cite> (<cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=1626">JUMP COMICS</a></cite> / <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=909">Shueisha</a></cite>), a prequel manga to the smash hit supernatural adventure series from <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=177440">Gege Akutami</a></cite>. UTs (<cite class="e company">UNIQLO</cite> T-shirts) offer an array of authentic pop culture and art graphics from around the world that allow the wearer to express their individuality. This collection of portrayals of key characters in the film is exclusive to UT. <br> <br> Like the film, the collection highlights the experiences of characters prior to the television anime series version of <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=21741">JUJUTSU KAISEN</a></cite>. One UT design depicts protagonist Yuta Okkotsu in a poignant scene with childhood friend Rika Orimoto and highlights a ring that he keeps as a memento of their relationship. The collection also shows Satoru Gojo in a fresh white blindfold, a contrast to the black one he wears in the television series, and Suguru Geto, the film's greatest antagonist. A print on the back of another design features Rika's curse, cementing the collection as a must-have for fans of the film.<br> <br> Collaboration overview<br> Launch date: Thursday, April 7, 2022<br> Items: Adults T-shirts in 4 designs at $19.90 each<br> Availability: <cite class="e company">UNIQLO</cite> stores in the United States and <cite class="e company">UNIQLO</cite>.com<br> Website: https://www.<cite class="e company">UNIQLO</cite>.com/us/en/ut-graphic-tees/jujutsu-kaisen-zero <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> <hr> <div id="social-bookmarks"> bookmark/share with: <span onclick="social_share_183735('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_183735('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_183735(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/press-release/2022-03-17/uniqlo-to-release-jujutsu-kaisen-0-collab-april-7-in-u.s/.183735"; var title = "Uniqlo to Release Jujutsu Kaisen 0 Collab / April 7 in U.S."; var ssurl, ssoptions = 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,'; if (action == "facebook") { ssurl = 'https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=' + encodeURI(url); ssoptions += 'height=300px,width=600px'; } if (action == "twitter") { ssurl = 'https://twitter.com/share?url=' + encodeURI(url) + '&text=' + encodeURI(title); ssoptions += 'height=254px,width=600px'; } window.open(ssurl, '', ssoptions); } </script> <a onclick="$('article-183735-shorturl').toggle();this.blur();" class="-clickable"> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="18" height="18" alt="short url" data-src="/images/system/bookmark-shorturl.png" class="lazyload"> </a> <input type="text" id="article-183735-shorturl" style="margin:-4px;display:none;width:140px" value="http://4NN.cx/.183735" readonly> </div> <p> <a href="/press-release/">Press Release homepage</a> / <a href="/press-release/archive" rel="archives">archives</a> </p> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="infinite-scroll-outlet" style="height: 0;"></div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="grid-view thumb-view"> <div> <div class="options-menu requires-javascript"> <div class="minimize-off icon" title="maximize sidebar" onclick="ANN.sidebar.minimize(false);">⬈</div> <div class="minimize-on icon" title="minimize sidebar" onclick="ANN.sidebar.minimize(true);">⬋</div> <div class="images-off icon" title="hide images" onclick="ANN.sidebar.images(false)">-</div> <div class="images-on icon" title="show images" onclick="ANN.sidebar.images(true)">+</div> <div class="open-preferences icon" title="open preferences" data-user-preferences-action-open="sidebar"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#gear"></use></svg> </div> </div> <div class="herald-boxes"> <div class="box iab side"> <div> <noscript> <iframe src="/show.aframe?t=R&amp;js=no" scrolling="no"></iframe> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class="herald box aside reviews t-review" data-topics="article220269 reviews anime"> <div class="category-line reviews t-review"></div> <div class="thumbnail lazyload" style="background-position: 40.000% 18.074%" data-src="/images/cms/review/220269/castlevania-n-season-2.png"> <div class="overlay"> <div class="category reviews t-review"> review </div> <div class="comments"><a href="/cms/discuss/220269">1 comment</a></div> </div> <a href="/review/castlevania/nocturne-season-2-anime-streaming/.220269" data-track="id=182723&amp;from=SB"></a> </div> <div class="wrap"> <div> <h3> <a href="/review/castlevania/nocturne-season-2-anime-streaming/.220269" data-track="id=182723&amp;from=SB"><cite>Castlevania: Nocturne</cite> Season 2 Anime Streaming Review</a> </h3> <div class="byline"> <time datetime="2025-01-21T12:00:00-05:00">Jan 21, 12:00</time> <div class="comments"><a href="/cms/discuss/220269">1 comment</a></div> <span class="topics"> <a topic="anime" href="/all/?topic=anime" target="intro-by-topic"> anime</a> </span> </div> <div class="snippet"> <span class="hook">It may have taken a few tries, but with this second season of <i>Nocturne</i>, the animated <i>Castlevania</i> franchise has finally produced a true masterpiece.</span> <span class="full">― Castlevania is one of the series that I have been privileged to cover since the original Netflix animated project premiered back in 2017.

Hiroaki Kuromachi, an analyst with Bear Stearns, predicts that if Asō is indeed confirmed for the position, share prices of "Asō-related" (anime, manga and fandom) companies stand to rise up to another 10%.</p> <p>In addition to openly talking about his manga-reading habit (<a href="http://www.chikuhou.or.jp/aso-taro/newspaper/030702-1.html" target="_blank">"about 10 to 20 [manga magazines] a week"</a>), Asō <a href="/news/2007-05-22/international-manga-award" target="_blank">announced</a> the first International Manga Awards this year as Abe's former foreign minister. He <a href="/news/2006-09-24/taro-aso-speaks-in-akiba">held</a> a campaign rally in the Akihabara <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=22">otaku</a></cite> cultural shopping district last year, and his former vice foreign minister, Katsuhito Asano, <a href="/news/2007-08-01/cosplay-summit-convenes-at-japan's-foreign-ministry" target="_blank">met</a> with the finalists of the International <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=15">Cosplay</a></cite> Summit last month. Also last month, Asō <a href="http://www.aso-taro.jp/lecture/kama/2007_8.html" target="_blank">posted</a> a Japanese essay about how manga has spread internationally and how the term "manga" has entered the vocabularies of other languages, similar to how "sushi," "tsunami," and "karaoke" have.</p> <p>When Asō was foreign minister, his ministry increasingly used manga to communicate its message, particularly through <a href="/news/2007-04-09/japanese-government-hires-cite-detective-conan/cite-for-pr-campaign" target="_blank">specially commissioned</a> <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=1974">Detective Conan</a></cite></cite> manga pamphlets and <a href="/news/2007-04-30/japan-brings-barefoot-gen-to-non-proliferation-event">complimentary copies</a> of the <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/manga.php?id=2713">Barefoot Gen</a></cite></cite> manga at a nuclear non-proliferation meeting. He also <a href="/news/2007-04-23/japanese-minister-to-french-presidential-candidate-read-more-manga" target="_blank">called</a> upon French presidential candidate Segolene Royal to "read a little bit more" manga after Royal criticized manga for a perceived high degree of tolerance for expressions of violence and pornography.</p> <p>Asō's party has been criticized for a series of financial and governmental scandals, and commentators view the recent electoral defeat as a backlash from voters. Asō is also known for his controversial, nationalistic stances during his tenure as foreign minister.</p> </div> <hr> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> This article has a follow-up: <a href="/news/2007-09-16/taro-aso-in-akihabara">LDP Candidate Tarō Asō Gives Speech in Akihabara</a> <small>(2007-09-16 19:02)</small><br> <!--source: ...--> <div> <a href="/cms/discuss/19401">discuss this in the forum (29 posts)</a> | <div id="social-bookmarks"> bookmark/share with: <span onclick="social_share_19401('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_19401('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_19401(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2007-09-12/manga-fan-taro-aso-is-a-frontrunner-to-lead-japan"; var title = "Manga Fan Tarō Asō is a Frontrunner to Lead Japan (Updated)"; var ssurl, ssoptions = 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,'; if (action == "facebook") { ssurl = 'https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=' + encodeURI(url); ssoptions += 'height=300px,width=600px'; } if (action == "twitter") { ssurl = 'https://twitter.com/share?url=' + encodeURI(url) + '&text=' + encodeURI(title); ssoptions += 'height=254px,width=600px'; } window.open(ssurl, '', ssoptions); } </script> <a onclick="$('article-19401-shorturl').toggle();this.blur();" class="-clickable"> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="18" height="18" alt="short url" data-src="/images/system/bookmark-shorturl.png" class="lazyload"> </a> <input type="text" id="article-19401-shorturl" style="margin:-4px;display:none;width:140px" value="http://4NN.cx/.19401" readonly> </div> <p> <small> this article has been modified since it was originally posted; see <a href="/cms/changelog/19401" rel="nofollow">change history</a> </small> </p> </div> <p> <a href="/news/">News homepage</a> / <a href="/news/archive" rel="archives">archives</a> </p> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="infinite-scroll-outlet" style="height: 0;"></div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="grid-view thumb-view"> <div> <div class="options-menu requires-javascript"> <div class="minimize-off icon" title="maximize sidebar" onclick="ANN.sidebar.minimize(false);">⬈</div> <div class="minimize-on icon" title="minimize sidebar" onclick="ANN.sidebar.minimize(true);">⬋</div> <div class="images-off icon" title="hide images" onclick="ANN.sidebar.images(false)">-</div> <div class="images-on icon" title="show images" onclick="ANN.sidebar.images(true)">+</div> <div class="open-preferences icon" title="open preferences" data-user-preferences-action-open="sidebar"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#gear"></use></svg> </div> </div> <div class="herald-boxes"> <div class="box iab side"> <div> <noscript> <iframe src="/show.aframe?t=R&amp;js=no" scrolling="no"></iframe> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class="herald box aside reviews t-review" data-topics="article220269 reviews anime"> <div class="category-line reviews t-review"></div> <div class="thumbnail lazyload" style="background-position: 40.000% 18.074%" data-src="/images/cms/review/220269/castlevania-n-season-2.png"> <div class="overlay"> <div class="category reviews t-review"> review </div> <div class="comments"><a href="/cms/discuss/220269">1 comment</a></div> </div> <a href="/review/castlevania/nocturne-season-2-anime-streaming/.220269" data-track="id=182723&amp;from=SB"></a> </div> <div class="wrap"> <div> <h3> <a href="/review/castlevania/nocturne-season-2-anime-streaming/.220269" data-track="id=182723&amp;from=SB"><cite>Castlevania: Nocturne</cite> Season 2 Anime Streaming Review</a> </h3> <div class="byline"> <time datetime="2025-01-21T12:00:00-05:00">Jan 21, 12:00</time> <div class="comments"><a href="/cms/discuss/220269">1 comment</a></div> <span class="topics"> <a topic="anime" href="/all/?topic=anime" target="intro-by-topic"> anime</a> </span> </div> <div class="snippet"> <span class="hook">It may have taken a few tries, but with this second season of <i>Nocturne</i>, the animated <i>Castlevania</i> franchise has finally produced a true masterpiece.</span> <span class="full">― Castlevania is one of the series that I have been privileged to cover since the original Netflix animated project premiered back in 2017.

The project is an international joint production between <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=360">Tezuka Productions</a></cite> and the Nigerian television station Chanel TV, and the animators are trainees who came to Japan to study. </p> <p>The 30-minute episodes are aimed at preschool children, and they follow the robot boy Atom as he embarks on adventures with his human and robot friends in a future town. Instead of defeating bad guys as an "ally of justice," the story will be more about an innocent child who makes mistakes from time to time. </p> <p>Nigeria is Africa's most populous country with 170 million people and oil as its primary industry. </p> <p>Chanel TV wanted to obtain know-how in animation production and character content business, so it approached <cite class="e company">Tezuka Productions</cite>. Three staff members ranging in age from 20s to 40s came to Japan last November and learned to draw animation at the studio. As planned, they will be responsible for about two cuts of animation sketches. (The animeanime.jp website <a href="http://animeanime.jp/article/img/2014/01/11/17039/29102.html" target="_blank">posted</a> more photographs of the trainees and their work.) </p> <p>Two episodes will air in March, and production on at least eight episodes have been green-lit. Tezuka Production is <a href="/news/2013-06-12/tezuka-pro-in-talks-to-create-local-versions-of-astro-boy-around-the-world">going forward</a> with joint production plans with other countries besides Nigeria, and it wants to pursue sales worldwide. A broadcast in Japan has not been scheduled.</p> <p>Japanese studios have <a href="/the-list/2014-01-11">animated</a> international co-productions for decades, and their own characters have been exported and animated overseas for almost as long.

We now have more than enough bandwidth and even more disk space. Anyways, as of an hour ago they corrected the IP mapping situation and our domain is pointing where it should.

The play is returning to London's Barbican Centre for a 17-week run, from November 21, 2023 to March 23, 2024. <p>Mei Mac plays Mei Kusakabe, alongside Ami Okumura Jones as her older sister Satsuki. </p> <p>Although the <i>Guardian</i> interview does not mention it, Mei Mac previously played the role of San, the warrior girl raised by wolves, in a <a href="/news/2012-11-22/information-on-princess-mononoke-stage-play">stage version</a> of Miyazaki's film <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=197">Princess Mononoke</a></cite>. This play was created by the British company Whole Hog Theatre, and it ran both in London and <a href="/interest/2013-04-19/nick-park-involvement-in-princess-mononoke-play-revealed">Shibuya, Tokyo</a> in 2013.</p> <p>The interview is headed, "I gave a piece of my soul to <i><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=534">My Neighbour Totoro</a></cite></i>." In the interview, Mac remembers preparing for (arguably) the play's central scene, Mei's first meeting with <cite class="e anime">Totoro</cite>. "They wanted to check whether one puppet could support the weight of a human being. Because I'd worked in circus, I offered to climb up and find out. That was the moment everyone went: Oh, Mei's going to play Mei! (....) I become very at one with that particular puppet – I end up eating quite a lot of hair."</p> <p>Mac also talks of children not being able to believe that she isn't actually a child when she comes out of the stage door. She discusses <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=60">Studio Ghibli</a></cite>'s non-binary morality, and how the play is a celebration of theatre. "We show our workings and the puppeteers are part of the world. (...) Everything in <i><cite class="e anime">Totoro</cite></i> is analogue. Anything we do, you can do."</p> <p>Mac was born in Birmingham to Hong Kong immigrants. She originally planned to study medicine, but she was inspired to take up an acting career when she met actors from the Yellow Earth group (now New Earth Theatre). She discusses the "bamboo ceiling," the financial and cultural barriers that frustrate east Asian and south-east Asian actors in Britain, and how she was first offered stereotypical roles. "It was very dehumanising, I felt objectified and really othered. (...) It felt strange that people could not see me as part of the fabric of British society."</p> <p>She says things are improving, though that's only due to community activism. "There are so many shoulders that I stand on in order to be here. One of my mantras in life is to make my shoulders broad enough for others to stand on too."</p> <p>The trailer for the new run of the play is below:</p> <p><span style="display: block; width: 560px; max-width: 100%"> <span style="display: block; padding-top: 56.25%; position: relative;"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1PsXaOu1_b0?si=Ge4UvbJo8tmP3T74" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 100%; height: 100%;"></iframe></span></span></p> <p>Tickets are available <a href="https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2023/event/royal-shakespeare-company-my-neighbour-totoro" target="_blank">here</a>.

He describes the puppets in the original production as the prototypes.</p> <p>He also says that he would love the show to come to New York.</p> <p>More than 130,000 people saw the play during its original London run. It was presented by the RSC and <cite class="e person">Hayao Miyazaki</cite>'s longtime composer <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=1196">Joe Hisaishi</a></cite>, who created the music for the original film and serves as the play's executive producer. Tom Morton-Smith <i>(Oppenheimer)</i> adapted the story, and Phelim McDermott <i>(Akhnaten)</i> directed the production. The play was made in collaboration with the English theatre company Improbable and Japan's <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=124">Nippon TV</a></cite>. </p> <p>The RSC described the production on its website:</p> <blockquote>"This enchanting coming-of-age story explores the magical fantasy world of childhood and the transformative power of imagination, as it follows one extraordinary summer in the lives of sisters Satsuki and Mei."</blockquote> <p>The original anime film <cite class="e anime">My Neighbor Totoro</cite> is the story of two young sisters, Mei and Satsuki, who move to the countryside and encounter Tot<i></i>oro, wonderful creatures which only children can see.</p> </div> <hr> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> <!--source: ...--> <div> <div id="social-bookmarks"> bookmark/share with: <span onclick="social_share_204623('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_204623('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_204623(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2023-11-19/totoro-stage-actress-comments-on-playing-mei/.204623"; var title = "Totoro Stage Actress Comments on Playing Mei"; var ssurl, ssoptions = 'menubar=no,toolbar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,'; if (action == "facebook") { ssurl = 'https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=' + encodeURI(url); ssoptions += 'height=300px,width=600px'; } if (action == "twitter") { ssurl = 'https://twitter.com/share?url=' + encodeURI(url) + '&text=' + encodeURI(title); ssoptions += 'height=254px,width=600px'; } window.open(ssurl, '', ssoptions); } </script> <a onclick="$('article-204623-shorturl').toggle();this.blur();" class="-clickable"> <img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="18" height="18" alt="short url" data-src="/images/system/bookmark-shorturl.png" class="lazyload"> </a> <input type="text" id="article-204623-shorturl" style="margin:-4px;display:none;width:140px" value="http://4NN.cx/.204623" readonly> </div> </div> <p> <a href="/interest/">Interest homepage</a> / <a href="/interest/archive" rel="archives">archives</a> </p> <!-- google_ad_section_end --> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="infinite-scroll-outlet" style="height: 0;"></div> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar" class="grid-view thumb-view"> <div> <div class="options-menu requires-javascript"> <div class="minimize-off icon" title="maximize sidebar" onclick="ANN.sidebar.minimize(false);">⬈</div> <div class="minimize-on icon" title="minimize sidebar" onclick="ANN.sidebar.minimize(true);">⬋</div> <div class="images-off icon" title="hide images" onclick="ANN.sidebar.images(false)">-</div> <div class="images-on icon" title="show images" onclick="ANN.sidebar.images(true)">+</div> <div class="open-preferences icon" title="open preferences" data-user-preferences-action-open="sidebar"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#gear"></use></svg> </div> </div> <div class="herald-boxes"> <div class="box iab side"> <div> <noscript> <iframe src="/show.aframe?t=R&amp;js=no" scrolling="no"></iframe> </noscript> </div> </div> <div class="herald box aside reviews t-review" data-topics="article220269 reviews anime"> <div class="category-line reviews t-review"></div> <div class="thumbnail lazyload" style="background-position: 40.000% 18.074%" data-src="/images/cms/review/220269/castlevania-n-season-2.png"> <div class="overlay"> <div class="category reviews t-review"> review </div> <div class="comments"><a href="/cms/discuss/220269">1 comment</a></div> </div> <a href="/review/castlevania/nocturne-season-2-anime-streaming/.220269" data-track="id=182723&amp;from=SB"></a> </div> <div class="wrap"> <div> <h3> <a href="/review/castlevania/nocturne-season-2-anime-streaming/.220269" data-track="id=182723&amp;from=SB"><cite>Castlevania: Nocturne</cite> Season 2 Anime Streaming Review</a> </h3> <div class="byline"> <time datetime="2025-01-21T12:00:00-05:00">Jan 21, 12:00</time> <div class="comments"><a href="/cms/discuss/220269">1 comment</a></div> <span class="topics"> <a topic="anime" href="/all/?topic=anime" target="intro-by-topic"> anime</a> </span> </div> <div class="snippet"> <span class="hook">It may have taken a few tries, but with this second season of <i>Nocturne</i>, the animated <i>Castlevania</i> franchise has finally produced a true masterpiece.</span> <span class="full">― Castlevania is one of the series that I have been privileged to cover since the original Netflix animated project premiered back in 2017.

See, this week I'd planned to delay the column a bit, because <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=620">Nintendo</a></cite> announced a <cite class="e company">Nintendo</cite> Direct that would be happening at 3 PM today. I figured I'd wait until that was over, since <cite class="e company">Nintendo</cite> Direct is usually jam-packed with important news and announcements and leaves everyone chattering happily for the rest of the day. It's worth a slight delay to be timely with the big news, right?</p> <div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="397" height="358" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-x-button/136454/capture.jpg" class="lazyload"></div> <p>Unfortunately, Japan has been hit with not one, but <u>two</u> major natural disasters in the past week: an immensely strong typhoon in Western Japan that caused significant damage (and has paralyzed a major international airport), and, just yesterday, a huge earthquake in Hokkaido that's knocked out power and caused landslides. Several people have died and many more are still missing because of both events, so <cite class="e company">Nintendo</cite> – who usually broadcasts <cite class="e company">Nintendo</cite> Direct simultaneously worldwide – wisely opted to postpone the broadcast out of respect. It might disappoint to those outside of Japan, yes, but right now a lot of people over in <cite class="e company">Nintendo</cite>'s homeland need some space to process the awful stuff that's happened, and that's more important than another Smash reveal.</p> <p><strong>BUT THAT'S NOT THIS WEEK'S ONLY DELAY</strong></p> <p>In an unfortunate coincidence, some other big delays were announced:</p> <ul> <li> <em>One Piece: World Seeker</em> is now slated to launch in 2019. No reason for the delay has been given, but we all know big open world games aren't the easiest things to make.</li> <li> <em>Super Neptunia RPG</em> has been pushed back from its scheduled late September release date to late December. The English version has been similarly delayed a bit.</li> </ul> <p><strong><cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=1998">SQUARE ENIX</a></cite> IS PARTNERING WITH <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=14807">TENCENT</a></cite></strong></p> <p><cite class="e company">Tencent</cite> is one of the biggest companies most people don't know about. Have you heard of WeChat? That's <cite class="e company">Tencent</cite>. <em>League of Legends</em>? That's also owned by them. They have big stakes in Supercell and <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=24543">Epic Games</a></cite>. But for everything you have heard of, there's far more you haven't heard about, since it's primarily China- or Asia-based. But suffice to say, <cite class="e company">Tencent</cite> is a gigantic company, and they have a games division that is similarly huge.</p> <div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="512" height="512" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-x-button/136454/tencent.png.jpg" class="lazyload"></div> <p>You know what else is huge? The Chinese gaming market – and <cite class="e company">Tencent</cite>'s already entrenched there. So when the news that <cite class="e company">Square Enix</cite> and <cite class="e company">Tencent</cite> are forming a joint venture hit, it was obvious what the primary goal was: get more <em>Final Fantasy</em> and <em>Dragon Quest</em> in China. <cite class="e company">Tencent</cite>'s WeChat could also be used as a platform to promote <cite class="e company">Square Enix</cite>'s mobile gaming library, much like <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=11979">LINE</a></cite> does in Japan. But it's also a good way for <cite class="e company">Tencent</cite> to get more access to publishing and localization for its titles outside of China – and, given that <a href="https://www.economist.com/business/2018/09/08/tencents-kingdom-is-under-assault-from-chinas-regulators">Tencent has been suffering some big setbacks from Chinese government regulators lately</a>, that might be just what they need. In any case, I expect interesting things to result from this tie-up: remember that it was the Square/<cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=10568">Electronic Arts</a></cite> tie-up that resulted in the localized PSOne RPG renaissance of the late 90s.</p> <p><strong>THERE'S A BUNCH OF SWITCH GAME ANNOUNCEMENTS THAT WERE PROBABLY MEANT TO BE ELABORATED ON IN <cite class="e company">NINTENDO</cite> DIRECT, BUT THAT'S NOT HAPPENING YET </strong></p> <p>So instead, all we really have to go on here are newsbytes.</p> <div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="600" height="337" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-x-button/136454/umihara-kawase-switch_09-04-18.jpg" class="lazyload"></div> <ul> <li> <em>Umihara Kawase Fresh</em>!, a new game in the long-running Umihara Kawase series of physics-based platformers, is coming to Switch.

Season 2 of the DLC characters is dropping, and it brings fan favorites Anna and Lei along with it, along with some balance changes for existing cast members.

They teased a new character for <em><cite class="e company">SNK</cite> Heroines </em>at PAX West, showing a mystery silhouette. Fans are speculating that it might be someone from the <em>Fighting EX Layer</em> roster, given that Terry is showing up in that game, but given the very nondescript look of the outline it's hard to tell. I get an Akira from <em>Rival Schools</em> vibe, but I honestly don't know what <cite class="e company">SNK</cite> and <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=624">CAPCOM</a></cite>'s relationship is like these days.</p> <p>That's not all the Neo Geo People are buzzing about, however<a href="https://www.snk-corp.co.jp/snknewgame/">: A mysterious countdown promises a game reveal on September 10<sup>th</sup></a>. While <cite class="e company">SNK</cite> hasn't explicitly said it's a fighting game, that's what most folks seem to be expecting: fan theory is pointing towards a new <em>Garou</em> game. If that's true, it would be very interesting, since <em>Garou 2</em> was a ways into development in the early aughts when the old <cite class="e company">SNK</cite> collapsed. How much of that idea would have survived, I wonder?</p> <p><strong>NEW RELEASES</strong></p> <div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="220" height="308" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-x-button/136454/220px-428englishart.png.jpg" class="lazyload"></div> <p><strong>OUT NOW: 428: Shibuya Scramble (PS4, <cite class="e company"><a href="/encyclopedia/company.php?id=15875">Steam</a></cite>)</strong></p> <p>It's still hard to believe that 428 is out in English. It's one of the most beloved adventure/visual novel games ever released in Japan, but between the unusual still-photography story images that populate the entire game and the massive amount of text it contains, I figured it was never going to happen. The visual novel boom of the last few years, however, has yielded many pleasant surprises, and now we have a fully translated version of <em>428: Shibuya Scramble</em> to enjoy.</p> <p>So what is this game? It's the story of one very, very crazy day in Shibuya as told through the eyes of five protagonists: A police detective investigating a kidnapping case, a young street punk, a fierce freelance journalist, an esteemed virus researcher at a major pharmaceutical firm, and a young girl who's stuck in a cat mascot suit hawking shady diet drinks. Their stories (and the choices you make within them) all affect each other in interesting and unusual ways, transforming into a tense, multi-layered thriller.</p> <p>Still not convinced? Okay, what if I told you that it had ties to a pretty popular anime series from a few years back?</p> <div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="150" height="150" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/fit150x150/encyc/A10270-3.jpg" class="lazyload"></div> <p>Yeah, remember <em><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10270">CANAAN</a></cite></em>? 428 is what happens before that show. Those familiar with the anime will see a lot of familiar characters and see a key event that's only referenced in the show happen firsthand. If you liked <em><cite class="e anime">CANAAN</cite></em>, then go buy 428. Heck, buy it even if you didn't!</p> <div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="220" height="274" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-x-button/136454/220px-dragon_quest_xi_cover_art.jpg" class="lazyload"></div> <p><strong>DRAGON QUEST IX: Echoes of an Elusive Age (PS4, <cite class="e company">Steam</cite>)</strong></p> <p>428 isn't the only incredibly wordy game to hit this week. <em>Dragon Quest XI</em> certainly has taken its sweet time coming Westward, but it's finally here, and it's fantastic. I've written plenty of words about it <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/reviews/dragon-quest-xi-echoes-of-an-elusive-age-review-ba/1900-6416969/">over on my GameSpot review</a>, so why not have a read?</p> <div align="center"><img src="/img/spacer.gif" width="220" height="356" border="0" data-src="/thumbnails/max600x600/cms/the-x-button/136454/220px-snk_heroines_cover.png.jpg" class="lazyload"></div> <p><strong>OUT TOMORROW: <cite class="e company">SNK</cite> Heroines Tag Team Battle (PS4, Switch)</strong></p> <p>Does anyone else remember the era of goofy <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=54">fanservice</a></cite> fighters? I can't be the only old fart here who recalls stuff like <em>Pretty Fighter X, Asuka 120% Burning Fest, Touki Denshou Angel Eyes</em>, and <em>Variable Geo</em>. I feel like that general <em>type</em> of game is what <cite class="e company">SNK</cite> is going for with <cite class="e company">SNK</cite> Heroines: it's not the most mechanically complex fighter on the block, and I'm sure better players are going to find some incredibly broken stuff soon, <em>but that's not really the point</em>. This game is about dressing up a bunch of cute girls in goofy outfits for stupid story reasons and having them duke it out with a simplified combat engine. I know I've railed on bad <cite class="e lexicon">fanservice</cite> games before, but I think (and hope) <cite class="e company">SNK</cite> can at least deliver a fighting engine that's playable.

Mais il en faut plus pour la déstabiliser. Quelqu'un d'autre dans la boucle semble avoir attiré son attention. Takano, la grande méchante derrière toute l'histoire d'Hinamizawa, semble avoir eu des visions d'un passé où tout ne se passait pas comme prévu pour elle. À son réveil rien n'a changé mais la voici désormais assaillie par le doute. Tomitake doit arriver prochainement et l'opération ne sera un succès que si elle le tue. Nostalgique, elle ressort l'album photo de son grand-père, celui-là même qui avait été raillé par la communauté scientifique pour sa thèse sur le parasite endémique d'Hinamizawa. C'était ce souvenir plein d'amertume qui avait poussé Takano a embrasser cette carrière, avec un esprit de revanche et l'envie de rétablir la réputation de sa famille. Mais était-ce vraiment ce qu'il voulait pour elle ?</p> <p>Fin de la saison 1 sur un épisode un peu longuet. Toujours pas d'évolution de la situation entre Rika et Satoko mais cette dernière est toujours plus déterminée à la briser pour avoir son happy end, quitte à devoir faire un massacre dans le village. Satoko est devenue le démon et avec sa dernière action, nous comprenons mieux certains événements passés. Par contre, difficile de comprendre pourquoi l'épisode précédent existe. Cela n'influe même pas sur celui-ci ! La réponse dans la saison 2 ? <cite><cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=24160">Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - SOTSU</a></cite></cite> est prévu pour juillet de cette année, nous n'aurons pas à attendre longtemps pour avoir toutes les clés en main. En tout cas, le studio Passionne a réussi à raviver une licence que nous pensions achevée depuis longtemps. <cite class="e person"><a href="/encyclopedia/people.php?id=50390">Ryukishi07</a></cite> surprend, pas toujours en bien, mais il surprend et arrive à nous faire replonger en 1983 avec lui. Est-ce que c'était nécessaire ? Pas vraiment, mais on ne refusera pas un ticket pour le voyage. </p> <p><b>Note : <span class="star_rating h20"> <span class="bar" style="width:60.0px"></span> <span class="stars"></span> </span> </b></p> <p><em> <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=23297">Higurashi: When They Cry – GOU</a></cite> est diffusé sur <a href="https://www.wakanim.tv/fr/v2/catalogue/show/949/higurashi-when-they-cry---gou">Wakanim</a>. </em></p> <div align="center"><p><button class="js-content" onclick="document.location='/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-23/.170686'">&lt;prev</button><select class="js-content" onchange="document.location=this.value"><option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-2/.165210">Episode 2</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-3/.165440">Episode 3</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-4/.165762">Episode 4</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-5/.165917">Episode 5</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-6/.166208">Episode 6</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-7/.166461">Episode 7</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-8/.166661">Episode 8</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-9/.167172">Episode 9</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-10/.167301">Episode 10</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-11/.167554">Episode 11</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-12/.167946">Episode 12</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-13/.168006">Episode 13</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-14/.168557">Episode 14</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-15/.168743">Episode 15</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-16/.168981">Episode 16</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-17/.170073">Episode 17</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-18/.170074">Episode 18</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-19/.170075">Episode 19</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-20/.170085">Episode 20</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-21/.170446">Episode 21</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-22/.170626">Episode 22</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-23/.170686">Episode 23</option> <option value="/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-24/.171364" selected>Episode 24</option></select></p></div> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> <hr> <div id="social-bookmarks"> mettre en favori/partager avec : <span onclick="social_share_171364('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_171364('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_171364(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/fr/review/higurashi-when-they-cry-gou/episode-24/.171364";

(We'll go with the day this episode aired, since keeping track of seasons in-show is nigh on impossible.) That's a special holiday Tanaka-kun made up on the spot in order to thank his friend when he realized how much Ohta-kun does for him on a daily basis. The reason for this realization? Ohta's titular trial is that he sprains his ankle helping an old woman carry her parcel up some steps and must be the helped rather than the helper for a week. In any other show, this would be a heartwarming episode wherein Tanaka realizes just how much Ohta really does for him, and their bond would strengthen immeasurably. In <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=17830">Tanaka-kun is Always Listless</a></cite>, Ohta gets a random holiday and a book of “I'll Walk to Class” coupons that prove to be pretty useless. But hey, at least Tanaka tried!</p> <p>Basically there are two stories going on in this week's episode: Tanaka “trying” to help Ohta and Tanaka learning that Echizen is actually an incredibly nice and thoughtful person despite her yankee reputation. The latter part most of us had already guessed, if not actually seen coming – last week's Valentine's Day debacle pretty much solidified the impression that her yankee looks are really just an act. So while it is amusing to see a little girl invite her over to play the equivalent of Calico Critters, the real entertainment this week comes from Tanaka's reaction to Ohta's injury. His initial worry, or rather, their peripheral friends Kato and Shimura's initial worry, is that Ohta is sick, and they ask Tanaka to figure out what's going on when he delivers the handout a teacher gave him for the absent one. This, regretfully, necessitates Tanaka finding his way to Ohta's house. As it turns out, he <i>has</i> been there before; he just has no idea how to get there on his own. This both confirms and assuages our assumptions that the two guys have a weird friendship – Ohta clearly carried Tanaka the whole way there, but hey, at least he's actually had him over! It is kind of nice to know that the viewers aren't the only ones who think there's something strange about their friendship, though.</p> <p>The real highlights of the episode are Tanaka-kun's “efforts” to be helpful. I really do think he wants to be, but it just goes against every lazy bone in his body. His idea of “helping” mostly involves sitting in solidarity, reasoning that if Ohta can't move, he may as well keep him company. Of course that's no excuse for Tanaka to do nothing and get away with it. No no, he's <i>helping</i>. It's just that no one really understands that or believes him – the best reaction comes from the music teacher when Tanaka tries to say that he should get to sit down during class because he's so tired from helping Ohta – the way the teacher's line is delivered hits just the right note of amused exasperation. Tanaka-kun, of course, really believes in his excuses as the master of self-justification. No, really, he <i>had</i> to eat Ohta's sweets. Otherwise, how would he have mustered the energy to get back to class carrying that heavy bag with three whole things in it?</p> <p>All of this really just serves to point out how good a guy Ohta is. Nothing Tanaka does is surprising to him; although the lunch thing is kind of disappointing, you get the impression that he's more resigned than shocked. But he seems kind of touched that Tanaka would try to help him, even if he turns out not to be any good at it, and he recognizes the effort that goes into that help. They may have a strange friendship, but it works for him as much as it does for Tanaka. We may never know why, and we don't really need to, which is really what this episode is all about. </p> <p>Well, that and the amazing fact that Tanaka could find his way home on his own after dropping the handout off at Ohta's place.

For myself, well…</p> <p>So obviously Bravern is great this week. It does what it has done previously, which is do a bit of solid character work, toss in some fun jokes, have fun with a good mix of real and super robot action, and of course, be unbelievably thirsty. I think the formula is still working just fine, though those of you in the audience who are here specifically to see the fellahs press their red-hot piloting passion against one another may find yourselves disappointed. However, for a certain demographic - namely the “Okay, but what if a giant robot was a masochist evil woman who mates before she kills?” fans out there - it's a home run.</p> <p>All I'm saying is, if I wrote a story where the hero was a kind-hearted himbo who was super into tokusatsu and could only save his friends by dramatically sacrificing himself to a <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=100">mecha</a></cite> milf's pathos in a fit of death-by-zaksnu-zaksnu, they'd say I was being pandered with my self-insert <cite class="e lexicon"><a href="/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=57">fanfic</a></cite>. Thankfully, someone else wrote this for <del>sickos</del> people like myself to enjoy.</p> <p>The action is good this week too. The fluidity isn't quite there at times which is a letdown, particularly with the super robots. The villains and Bravern all look a bit stilted, which is a shame. It doesn't take away much, but it is more noticeable this week. It works in favor of the more real robot grunt <cite class="e lexicon">mecha</cite> since you would imagine they are stiffer in their movements.

That's been both a help and a hindrance over the years, allowing the show to do a lot of important setup before the fights start so we clearly understand the emotional and thematic stakes, but also front-loading every arc with a lot of slow and occasionally tedious wheel spinning. The good news for anyone tired of this pattern is that "Let You Down" is most certainly the final setup episode in this whole story. The better news is that it's probably the best one the show has ever delivered.</p> <p>On paper, getting these ducks in a row is pretty simple. We reiterate where all our characters are with their various story arcs, establish the stakes for the world at large, and end with both sides making grand entrances for the final battle. The strength of the episode lies in the details and how effectively it weaves the story's many frayed threads together. </p> <p>Deku and Uraraka's cliff-side chat is the key to all that, as the pair contemplate what they want to happen with this oncoming war. Obviously, they want to win and stop the villains from spreading harm to the rest of the world, but what about after that? Uraraka insists there's something wrong with her even to be asking that question. She's witnessed the damage that Toga and her compatriots have wrought upon so many innocent people, yet she still can't shut off the part of her heart that aches at the other girl's tears. Deku knows that Shigaraki is a walking disaster, but he's witnessed the frail humanity within him all the same. So what the hell can they do with all that? Is returning to the way things were, by force, the correct answer? The only answer? Is it even <i>an</i> answer when "the way things were" gave rise to this conflict in the first place? Neither character can articulate those questions, but something inside their own morality compels them to keep searching for a new solution.</p> <p>Meanwhile, our remaining villains are actively rejecting hard and complicated questions or else trying their damnedest to bury the humanity our heroes see in them. Spinner finds himself being made the leader of hero society's disgruntled and marginalized heteromorph population, taking up the revolutionary role that Stain inadvertently created. In many ways, he's becoming exactly what he wanted to be when he joined the league, but now he's barely self-aware enough to realize he's not fit for it. He may have a sympathetic motivation to rebel against the status quo. Still, Spinner's also a lonely teenager who's followed the momentum of others through this whole show, and hasn't thought through what he would do with so much power and influence, let alone what kind of world he wants to build if they win. So he defaults back to following others again, zeroing in on his desire to help his friend and ignoring all the complicated baggage of what he's choosing to become. </p> <p>Toga and Dabi, by comparison, are already well set on their respective courses, yet even as they steel themselves for this last conflict, you can see their human vulnerabilities peaking through the cracks. On the eve of destruction, Toga can't help revisiting her origins, creeping through the vandalized and abandoned home she fled from, reminiscing about the literally bloody dreams that marked her as aberrant. She never says it, but you can tell she came here to reaffirm the choices she's already made, pushing down her uncertain feelings away and embracing vengeance for Twice as her driving force. Dabi is fully dedicated to that path already, and I think that common ground is what makes him immolate Toga's old home. He insists this isn't a kindness and that it's merely more destruction he can lay at his father's feet, but I suspect a part of him simply wants a companion as he walks into hell. It's a short sequence that leaves much unsaid, but it's all the better for that brevity.</p> <p>None of this is exactly new information, but here, it serves to crystallize who these characters are and what they're each hoping for from this battle. We know what's at stake not just for the world but for these individual characters and that the answers to their questions can't be resolved through fighting alone. That wealth of character writing makes this episode not just rewarding for long-time viewers, but critically important for what's to come.</p> <p><b>Rating: <span class="star_rating h20"> <span class="bar" style="width:80.0px"></span> <span class="stars"></span> </span> </b></p> <p></p> <p><em> <cite class="e anime"><a href="/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=17786">My Hero Academia</a></cite> is currently streaming on <a href="https://www.crunchyroll.com/series/G6NQ5DWZ6/my-hero-academia">Crunchyroll</a>. </em></p> <div align="center"><p><button class="js-content" onclick="document.location='/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-142/.211174'">&lt;prev</button><select class="js-content" onchange="document.location=this.value"><option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-139/.210496">Episode 139</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-140/.210730">Episode 140</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-141/.210947">Episode 141</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-142/.211174">Episode 142</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-143/.211441" selected>Episode 143</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-144/.211699">Episode 144</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-145/.211987">Episode 145</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-146/.212291">Episode 146</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-147/.212626">Episode 147</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-148/.213195">Episode 148</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-149/.213419">Episode 149</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-150/.213921">Episode 150</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-151/.214418">Episode 151</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-152/.214711">Episode 152</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-153/.214994">Episode 153</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-154/.215279">Episode 154</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-155/.215559">Episode 155</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-156/.215970">Episode 156</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-157/.216151">Episode 157</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-158/.216417">Episode 158</option> <option value="/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-159/.216712">Episode 159</option></select><button class="js-content" onclick="document.location='/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-144/.211699'">next&gt;</button></p></div> <!--INFOLINKS_OFF--> </div> </div> <hr> <a href="/cms/discuss/211441">discuss this in the forum (116 posts)</a> | <div id="social-bookmarks"> bookmark/share with: <span onclick="social_share_211441('twitter')" class="-clickable" style="color:#2ebbe9" title="Twitter"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#twitter"></use></svg> </span> <span onclick="social_share_211441('facebook')" class="-clickable" style="color:#486cb9" title="Facebook"> <svg role="img" class="icon"><use xlink:href="/stylesheets/icons/all.svg?1715293591#facebook"></use></svg> </span> <script> function social_share_211441(action) { var url = "https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/my-hero-academia-season-7/episode-143/.211441";
