00:00A press release confirmed that the light novel's Chitose is in the Ramune bottle,
00:03will have an anime adaptation that will premiere sometime in 2025 in Japan.
00:08The release did not reveal production details, so we will have to wait for more details soon.
00:12In an event that promised to be a big announcement for fans of the Noragami franchise,
00:17the final reveal has left many disappointed.
00:19On August 10, known as Yato Day because of the pronunciation of the numbers in Japanese,
00:24a significant announcement was expected to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the
00:28premiere of the anime adaptation. However, instead of the highly anticipated third season,
00:33what was revealed was a commemorative illustration and other projects related to the series.
00:37The illustration was created by character designer Toshihiro Kawamoto and presented
00:42in conjunction with a special drawing by the manga's authors, Hidaka Toka,
00:46showing Yato, Hiyori Iki, and Yukine together. Despite the quality of these illustrations,
00:51the absence of a continuation in the form of a new season of the anime left a bitter taste among fans.
00:57In an unexpected twist, all the episodes of the expected remake of Ranma 1.5 by MAPPA Studio
01:02have been leaked on the internet months before its official release, scheduled for October 2024.
01:07The leak has occurred through Netflix, which was confirmed by the marks in the video files,
01:12where in some sections could be read property of Netflix. Despite attempts to hide them,
01:16this leak has not only affected Ranma 1.5, but also other upcoming releases,
01:21such as Terminator 0, Dandadan, and the movie Mononoke the movie, Phantom in the Rain.
01:26In the case of the latter, the movie has already been leaked in its entirety.
01:30The first episode of the third season of the anime Re Zero,
01:33Starting Life in Another World, has been fully leaked online and in excellent quality.
01:37The episode, which is available in 1080p quality with French subtitles,
01:42suggests that the leak comes from the materials intended for the Japan Expo Paris 2024 event,
01:47where it was planned to screen an early premiere of the first episode with an extended duration
01:52as an exclusive benefit for attendees. The curious thing about the case is that Crunchyroll
01:56had cancelled this screening for fear that someone from the public would record and
02:00distribute the episode on the internet, and now the source material has been leaked directly to
02:05them. This situation has generated a great controversy among fans and the anime industry
02:10in general. During the One Piece Day 2024 event, a special video was revealed for the remake of
02:15the anime adaptation of the manga One Piece, which will be titled The One Piece. The video
02:20finally reveals the production team, but still does not list when this new project will be
02:24released through Netflix. This remake was announced in December 2023 and is planned
02:29to adapt only the essential content of the One Piece franchise for a better understanding for
02:33new generations, plus an obvious improvement in visual quality. Unfortunately, no promotional
02:38video was revealed, indicating that the project is still in early stages of production.
02:43On the official website for the anime adaptation of the light novels Danmaku,
02:48a new promotional video for the fifth season of the project was revealed. The video confirms that
02:52the premiere is scheduled for October 4th in Japan and lists details about the musical themes,
02:57which include the band GRE4N Boys will perform the opening theme song titled Shounen,
03:03while the band Sejuu no Hana will perform the closing theme song titled Hydrate. This fifth
03:07season will cover the Goddess of Fertility arc from the original light novels and retains the
03:12same production team from previous seasons with some minor changes. Hamadashi Creative,
03:17the great title developed by Matisoft, finally released information about its anime adaptation.
03:22This came after a successful crowdfunding campaign, which exceeded all the expectations of
03:27the creators, also released its first trailer through its official website, as well as more
03:31important information about the project, about the adaptation, which will premiere on October 3rd,
03:362024. It should be noted that it will have 12 episodes, each with a duration of 2 minutes and
03:4230 seconds. On the official site for the anime adaptation of Dr. Stone,
03:46it was announced that the final season will premiere sometime in 2025 in Japan.
03:50According to the announcement, this final season will have a duration of 3 cores,
03:543 broadcast quarters, i.e. 9 months, but each of them will be broadcast separately.
03:59Although this means that this final season will have a duration of at least 36 episodes,
04:04the fact that it will be broadcast with 3 separate parts opens the dreaded possibility
04:08that it will be released one part per year. So we could be watching the anime finale of Dr. Stone
04:13until 2027. The official site for the anime adaptation of Ao no Exorcist revealed a new
04:19promotional video for Blue Exorcist Beyond the Snow Saga, the fourth season of the project.
04:23The video confirms that the premiere is scheduled for next October 5th,
04:27and shows a fragment of the closing theme song titled Terara and performed by Yobahi.
04:32It should be recalled that a fifth season titled Blue Exorcist, the Blue Night Saga will premiere
04:37right after, in winter 2025, January-March. Officially it is being referred to as part 2
04:42of season 4, but the name change opens the possibility that they will then start calling
04:47it season 5 from Japan, as has happened before. The first half of the highly anticipated second
04:52season of Arcane has leaked online, just months away from its official premiere scheduled for
04:57November 2024. Five episodes of the series, which have been eagerly awaited by fans around the world,
05:03have surfaced online following a serious security breach at Netflix. A third party reportedly
05:08illegally accessed production materials and has begun disseminating them on various platforms.
05:13Most alarmingly, this leak appears to be just the beginning. Additional materials,
05:17including entire films that had not even been announced yet, have also begun to circulate,
05:22underscoring the seriousness of the problem. However, it is important to note that all of
05:26the leaks so far are in very low quality, with watermarks on production footage only
05:31and property of Netflix covering much of the screen. Despite this, the potential impact of
05:36these leaks remains huge and concerning. The manga I Drenade, Nandetoro-san still had a little more
05:42to offer when the latest compilation volume was released in Japan. This volume, released yesterday
05:47in Japan, included an epilogue that finally showed us what happened after the closure of the events of
05:52the original work. Now that Senpai has moved out to live on his own to study at Tokyo University,
05:57Nandetoro has been left alone to continue studying in high school. She is one year younger
06:02than Senpai and prepared to also enter the same university. While she is celebrating her birthday
06:07with her siblings and her friends, Nandetoro discovers that Senpai sent her a huge gift and
06:12sets out to open it immediately. A new promotional visual for the upcoming video game of the Sword
06:16Art Online franchise, titled Sword Art Online Fractured Daydream, has become trending on social
06:22networks in Japan, generating intense debate among fans. The reason for the discussion is the
06:27depiction of Kirito surrounded by what many have called his harem, meaning the girls with whom he
06:32has had a special connection throughout the series. Among the characters included in the image are
06:37Asuna, Leafa, Sanon, Yuki, Alice and, surprisingly, Quinella-slash-Administrator. The main villain of
06:43the Alicization arc what has puzzled fans is the inclusion of Administrator in this group, given
06:48that, although it is explained that Kirito was physically attracted to her upon their first
06:52meeting, there was never a significant relationship between them that would justify her place in the
06:57protagonist's harem. This detail has led fans to question the logic behind the selection of
07:02characters for the visual, generating a wave of comments and memes on social networks. Toranoana,
07:07one of the leading Dijinshi and Otaku merchandise retailers in Japan, has recently announced the
07:12suspension of Visa and MasterCard financial services for its online store. This drastic
07:17change severely affects users' ability to purchase products using these cards, significantly reducing
07:23the distributor's sales volume and thus royalties for authors and content creators. Toranoana's
07:28official statement mentions that, as of now, purchases through Visa and MasterCard will no
07:32longer be available on its platform. Although other payment options, such as JCB, will continue to be
07:38accepted, the elimination of these two credit card giants significantly limits the ways in which
07:43customers can make purchases. This move by Visa and MasterCard is part of a broader trend of large
07:48financial companies that, fearing a bad public image, decide to withdraw their services from
07:53sectors considered controversial, such as Dijinshi and H. The pressure from these companies to avoid
07:58associations with content that could be considered controversial is reshaping the landscape of
08:03commerce in this niche market. During recent negotiations for a new international treaty on
08:08cybercrime at the UN, Western countries, led by the United States and the European Union,
08:13have proposed decriminalizing certain forms of adult content featuring minors. Among these
08:18exceptions, adult material depicting fictional or AI-generated minors, including Manga and Dijinshi,
08:24stands out. A delegate from Austria explained the Western perspective clearly,
08:28minors over the age of 14 have the right to engage in sexual relations.
08:32It is our conviction that images produced in the course of a legal and voluntary relationship
08:37should not be criminalized. Germany backed this position, stating that these exceptions represent
08:41the bare minimum for signing up to the treaty. However, a bloc of 22 countries, led by Syria,
08:47strongly opposes these exceptions, arguing that they undermine the purpose of the convention,
08:52which is to protect children. These countries, which include Russia, China, Pakistan,
08:56and Saudi Arabia, argue that decriminalizing adult content featuring fictitious minors and
09:01practices such as sexting between minors could lead to impunity for sexual abusers.
09:06The future of the treaty remains uncertain, with countries divided between those seeking
09:10to maintain current international child protection standards and those advocating
09:14greater flexibility in the treatment of fictional or self-generated material.
