04:37decade since the last one aired in 2013, the release did not reveal production details
04:42or a scheduled premiere date, so we will have to wait for more news about it.
04:46The official site of the Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nonoha franchise announced that a special
04:50project will be launched for the 20th anniversary of the series.
04:54The first project of this celebration will be titled Lyrical Selection, an edited TV

05:30be getting an anime adaptation, according to a promo for an Adult Swim screening panel
05:34for San Diego Comic-Con 2024 on July 26.
05:38While not yet officially confirmed, the original Cartoon Network slash Adult Swim social media
05:43post, which was quickly deleted, reinforces this theory.
05:46The anime The Awesome Newbie Adventurer, trained to death by the most powerful party, became
05:51invincible, tells the story about a 30-year-old adventurer who breaks the paradigm by becoming
05:56the strongest of all, despite his age.
05:58Although this series is broadcast late night in Japan on television, there are many reasons
06:03why an anime is broadcast until the wee hours of the morning.
06:06And if you thought that only series with violence or erotic scenes are broadcast at that time,
06:11well, you are very wrong.
06:13In fact, the series with the worst budget also seek those broadcast blocks, precisely
06:17because they are much cheaper than one in the afternoon night, and this anime comes
06:21from a light novel that, in turn, already has a manga.
06:24And it was with the latter that comparisons were made, discovering that scenes with a
06:28certain erotic tone have been censored.
06:30Instead of seeing what's under the skirt, all you see is a huge black space, one of
06:34the most classic forms of censorship, and considering that it is being produced by Yumida
06:39Company, a studio with series that have disappointed anime fans such as Shimatsu no Valkyrie and
06:44Muv Luv Alternative, this new project was no exception.
06:48One of the world's largest anime media and production companies, Kadokawa, has suffered
06:52a major data breach after ransom demands from a Russian hacker group, BlackSuit, were
06:57not met on July 1, 2024.
06:59According to the record and FNN, Kadokawa experienced a massive data breach after the
07:04deadline set by BlackSuit expired.
07:06This group claims to have 1.5 terabytes of data related to Kadokawa, which they threatened
07:11to release on July 1.
07:13After the deadline expired, data allegedly originating from the Kadokawa group was made
07:18public, including contracts of streamers who had worked with Kadokawa, employee data
07:22from Duango, a subsidiary of Kadokawa, and, notably, information about students at Group
07:28N High School, one of Japan's largest schools with nearly 28,000 students both face-to-face
07:33and online.
07:34Kadokawa Duango Educational Institute founded the school in 2016.
07:39Kadokawa immediately responded to the leak, issuing its deep apologies for the great concern
07:44and inconvenience this has caused to all involved.
07:47Kadokawa says it is currently investigating the authenticity of the leak in collaboration
07:51with a specialized external organization and expects the results by the end of July.
07:55A popular adult film distributor in Japan has announced its upcoming releases that have
08:00left the public perplexed.
08:01These new productions use artificial intelligence to change the faces of the actresses, making
08:06them look more like the characters they are cosplaying and, at the same time, hide their
08:10identity.
08:11This technological innovation has generated confusion and anger among consumers, who are
08:15aware of the plight of porn actresses in Japan.
08:18The industry has been shaken by new laws seeking to regularize activities and working conditions,
08:23which has led to a decline in work and income for many of these professionals.
08:27With the advent of productions that use AI to modify faces, job opportunities for human
08:32actresses are further reduced, exacerbating the existing crisis.
08:36Snowbreak Containment Zone, the gacha RPG shooter from Amazing C-Sun Game, has experienced
08:41ups and downs since its global launch last winter.
08:44However, in May 2024, the number of concurrent players of the title increased by nearly three
08:49times compared to the initial post-launch figures.
08:52In an interview with the producer of Snowbreak's Japanese division, he talked about this recent
08:56boost from the developer's side and what factors led to this sudden increase.
09:00Commenting on the game's recent performance, the producer noted that Snowbreak's recent
09:04surge in popularity is significant and well-reflected in the figures.
09:08Sales have increased and the number of daily active users has grown by more than 50 percent
09:13on average.
09:14According to the producer, the biggest contributing factor to this was the management and development
09:18team's effort to gear the game towards fan service, i.e. giving players what they want.
09:23To give context, Snowbreak Containment Zone recently updated its age rating to M-slash-Peggy-16
09:29and has been actively releasing sexy and revealing character skins.
09:32The developers have also regularly implemented new character voice lines and intimate interactions.
09:37Recently, an anonymous person has criticized the Japanese government's current efforts
09:42to combat the birth crisis, suggesting a controversial measure, punishing those who
09:46do not wish to have children, especially single men over the age of 30.
09:50A leaked document reveals that the author proposes to track and apply penalties to single
09:55people who do not want to get married and have children.
09:58In the paper, the author argues the need to combat late marriages, citing a strong correlation
10:02between the number of children and age at first marriage.
10:05The younger the age at first marriage, the more children one has, and the older the age
10:10at first marriage, the lower the number of children.
10:12The author suggests that childless couples often marry later in life and that people
10:16who wish to have children give up because of their relatively older age.
10:20The paper proposes two solutions to combat late marriages, encouraging people to marry
10:24at a younger age and accepting late marriages by taking steps to reduce their negative effects.
10:29The author points out that the first option is politically taboo and difficult to implement,
10:34while the second is easier to realize because the desire to marry decreases with age.
10:38The paper also criticizes current government support for parenting, arguing that postnatal
10:43measures, such as daycare attendance and free tuition, are ineffective in combating birth
10:48decline.
10:49Instead, he suggests that directly supporting people who want to have children but cannot
10:53would be more effective, although it is not being adequately funded.
10:56The proposal to punish unmarried people over 30 who do not wish to marry presents several
11:01feasibility and ethical problems, individual rights, the proposal goes against individual
11:06rights and personal freedoms.
11:07Imposing punishment for personal decisions such as marital status is a violation of privacy
11:13and basic human rights.
11:14Social acceptance, it is unlikely that such a drastic and coercive measure would be accepted
11:19by Japanese society, which is known to value privacy and respect for personal decisions.
11:24Effectiveness, it is not clear that such coercive measures would have a positive impact on the
11:29birth rate.
11:30They are more likely to generate resentment and resistance.
11:32Japan faces a severe birth crisis and an aging population.
11:36Birth rates have declined dramatically in recent decades, and the population is aging
11:41rapidly.
11:42This has led the government to seek various solutions, although not all have been successful
11:46or well-received.
11:47The government's approach so far has been to support families through economic incentives
11:51and child care services, but the results have not been sufficient to reverse the trend.
11:56The proposal to punish single parents reflects a desperation to find radical solutions to
12:00a problem that threatens to have serious long-term economic and social consequences.
12:05In summary, although the proposal for punishing singles over 30 is extreme and probably unfeasible,
12:10it underscores the urgency and seriousness of Japan's birth crisis.
12:14It is crucial that more balanced and individual rights-respecting measures be found and implemented
12:19to address this issue.
12:20These were the news of the week.
