Have you ever heard a song in a movie or TV show that’s so good that it inspires your muses? I’m one of those people who listens to music when she writes, and many of those songs come from a movie or TV show that slips in a tune that I have to listen to on repeat. A recent gem on the list is from the second season of Invincible from singer-songwriter d4vd. “Feel It” is peak writing fuel for my muses, so I was thrilled to learn that d4vd is also someone who’s inspired by the media around him. “I wrote songs like ‘Here With Me’ after watching the Disney movie Up ,” he said in our interview, and boy, does that add a Lot of context to that song. d4vd is also a huge anime fan, as seen when watching his videos.

When the second season of Mob Psycho 100, one of the most popular anime series, was released in 2019, Yuzuru Tachikawa, the director of the Mob Psycho 100 anime, was interviewed and asked about his experience working on the series and the difference between the first season and the second season.
Mob Psycho 100
Tachikawa not only explained how the second season was better, but he also talked about how One, the creator of Mob Psycho 100, got involved in the production of the anime series. The director also revealed that while the production of the anime was going on, One wanted to make some changes that would fit perfectly for the anime series.
However, Tachikawa wanted to adapt the anime from the original material without any changes, as it would have helped the series keep its essence, making the narrative of Mob Psycho 100 one of the best storylines in the anime world.

Two of the best new trends we have seen in anime lately is the emergence of original series, as in not based on manga, with titles like “Bna” and a combination of parodying/homage to the style of titles (or even genres) of the past as in series like “One Punch Man” and “Mob Psycho 100”. “Bang Brave Bang Bravern” manages to combine both, this time functioning as an homage/parody of mecha titles.

The Japanese anime director Tachikawa Yuzuru isn't quite a household name yet, despite having directed the stylish Death Parade series and the totally (and tonally) bonkers series Mob Psycho 100. But his film adaptation of Ishizuka Shinichi's famous manga Blue Giant may go a long way to changing that. At the International Film Festival Rotterdam, the jazz anime scored big with the audiences, and I have spoken with several reviewers who chose it as their favorite film (animated or not) of this year's festival. In Blue Giant we follow Dai, a boy who fanatically practices playing the saxophone. His dream is to become a famous musician, and to do that he moves to Tokyo. He moves in with Shunji, an old classmate and checks out...

There’s nothing quite like jazz. Hitting the right notes in the tiny area between experimentation, chaos, art and cacophonous noise is a tricky thing to do, and the artists that can are held in a regard few other professions can touch. There’s an allure to it, a danger in live performances where one false note could send an entire act into disarray. It may be the most pure form of music, depending not on set patterns and structure, but instinct and intuition in every moment. Curious then, that Shinichi Ishizuka’s “Blue Giant” manga series was miraculously able to catch the hearts and minds of many with words and images about jazz rather than including the music itself. As a medium, manga is restricted to the expression of the illustration and the truthfulness of the story, but one thing it inherently cannot have is sound to go with it.

Dai Miyamoto’s life is turned upside down the day he discovers jazz. A former high school basketball player, Dai picks up a saxophone and begins practicing day and night, determined to become one of the greatest of all time. He leaves his sleepy hometown for the bustling nightclubs of Tokyo, but soon finds the life of a professional musician is not for the faint of heart. His passion eventually wins over the cocky but talented pianist Yukinori, and after Dai convinces his friend Shunji to learn the drums, they launch a new jazz trio whose rough sound contains a raw energy that quickly wins attention from local audiences. But what does it take to truly be great?
From director Yuzuru Tachikawa (Mob Psycho 100) and based on the award-winning manga, Blue Giant is a moving ode to the power of music and the artist, featuring electric performances and a stunning jazz soundtrack.

This Zom 100 review contains spoilers.
“We could die today or we could die 60 years from now. Either way, there’s never enough time to do all the things we want.”
If there’s one subgenre that’s been done to death–literally–it’s zombies and even anime haven’t been immune to undead epidemics. The wealth of zombie content has made it difficult to find fresh angles that say something new about the genre. The circumstances behind Zom 100’s zombie apocalypse are hardly spectacular and fail to reinvent the wheel in this department. That being said, Zom 100’s goal isn’t to create the next great zombie horror story. It’s, in fact, a pitch black comedy about the crushing nature of the corporate world and how awful the world is when you hate your job.
Zom 100, through this malaise, uses an undead invasion as the ultimate wakeup call...

Artificial intelligence has been a sci-fi villain for about as long as the concept has existed, but in the past few months, we've seen the issue of AI become timely, present, and poignant. There is AI taking over journalism, AI being used to replicate actors' voices, and AI making a whole Oasis album. Artificial intelligence is also part of the negotiations that led to the Writers Guild of America's strike, as concerns about AI's role in the creative arts become more and more urgent.
It used to be a common belief that robots would take over technical jobs like programming, not the arts. This is a development few saw coming, but "Cowboy Bebop" creator Shinichirō Watanabe was one of those few. Back in 2019, Watanabe made a new anime in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the famed studio, Bones, called "Carole & Tuesday."

(Welcome to I Didn't Know What Seasonal Anime to Watch, So I Asked /Film for Help and They Gave Me a List, a regular column dedicated to helping choose what anime shows to watch each season.)
After a gangbuster fall season full of spectacular anime (many of which made it to our list of best shows of the year overall), 2023 is starting with a bit of a quiet winter season. We had some big premieres from acclaimed animators and exciting new original anime, but many were plagued by production issues that killed all momentum.
Still, there were some leftover fall shows that shone bright, a highly-anticipated returning anime that delivered a stellar season, some surprising anime-related drops, and some funny new comedies that made an otherwise lackluster season still rather entertaining.

Hulu’s list of new releases for March 2023 features an event long in the making.
On March 6, History of the World, Part II will finally arrive more than 40 years after Mel Brooks’ classic comedy History of the World, Part I. first premiered. Of course, Brooks never had any intention of adding future parts to his ahistorical film, but that yet makes the arrival of Part II so many years later even funnier. Described as a four-night comedy event, History of the World, Part II will release two episodes a day through March 9. Brooks returns to write and executive produce this series and will star alongside Nick Kroll, Wanda Sykes, and Ike Barinholtz. Guest stars include…everyone. Basically just everyone.

It’s ironic but unavoidable that the greatest annual celebration of film should be a television special — but that’s just how it is. March often means Oscar season, a time for cinephiles to boot up that small screen you use for movies and use it to see if they win any awards during a telecast.
If you don’t have TV service anymore, Hulu has you covered with a pre-Oscars telecast as well as two red carpet specials before and after the main event. Though the ceremony itself won’t be livestreamed on Hulu, it will be added the next morning, like regular ABC programming. Awards viewership has been in general decline over the past several years, but next-day streaming gives curious viewers a chance to join the conversation and boost those Oscar ratings after the live show.

One of the most entertaining recent trends in the anime industry is the intense sense of self-parody that has found its apogee in titles like “Mob Psycho 100” and “One Punch Man”, but can be also found in a number of other titles. Shigeki Kawai, adapting the homonymous manga written and illustrated by Hotondoshindeiru, turns this approach towards the medieval/rpg (isekai) category in a truly hilarious series with “blasphemous” humor.
The anime begins in modern-day Japan, where Takafumi Takaoka picks up his 34-year old Uncle, Yosuke, who recently awakened from a 17-year coma after being hit by a truck, but actually went to another world during that time. All the rest of the family members believe that the uncle is crazy, but Takafumi soon witnesses him performing actual magic, and decides to take him with him to his home, have him start a YouTube channel, and profit from his endeavors.

Anime has had a phenomenal year. After the 500 million worldwide success of Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train in 2021 came JuJutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie the following year with an impressive 224 million. Both films have since become the number one and fifth-highest-grossing anime movies of all time. Highly anticipated films such as Toei Animation’s Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero and One Piece: Film Red premiered in 2022, earning 86 million and 162 million, respectively. The adaptations for the popular manga series Chainsaw Man and Spy x Family saw their debut, which also saw the return of Mob Psycho 100 and the end of Attack on Titan: The Final Season: Part 2, with the final part set to arrive next year. Surprise hits like Cyberpunk: Edgerunners broke into the scene. Even seasoned series like One Piece and Pokémon showcased some highly notable moments within the anime community.

This Trigun Stampede review contains no spoilers and is based off of the world premiere of episode 1 at Anime NYC.
Trigun Stampede Episode 1
“I’m really not much of a fighter….”
There are endless anime series that feature hyperbolized action and aloof heroes, but Trigun is a very special piece of ’90s action anime that the genre remains incredibly indebted towards. Trigun’s stamp remains on many series, yet it’s fallen into obscurity over the past few decades. For many anime fans in the 1990s, Trigun was synonymous with genre-bending western gunplay just like how Cowboy Bebop was for bounty hunter space operas. The prospect of a Trigun remake/reboot that introduces a new generation of audiences to Vash the Stampede’s heroic adventures seems like a no-brainer. However, in the decades that have passed since Trigun’s conclusion, action anime have evolved in bold ways and it’s...

"Bleach" began its run in the popular comics magazine Shonen Jump in August 2001. It was adapted into an anime three years later in October 2004, and quickly became one of the most popular anime and manga in its age bracket. Fans would refer to "Bleach" and its two Jump peers, "Naruto" and "One Piece," as the Big Three.
"Bleach" always boasted the lowest sales numbers of the three, especially in Japan where "One Piece" was king. But "Bleach" made up for this by being the most stylish comic of its day. Its character designs, fight sequences and paneling had a certain je ne sais quoi that kept it relevant against heavier hitting opponents in the magazine. The fact that its hero, Ichigo, was a jaded teenager from the beginning, rather than a rambunctious child like Naruto or Luffy, appealed to a fanbase that was going through its own adolescence.

There's potential banger after potential banger about to be unleashed, from hugely anticipated new shows, to returning champs, a massive franchise making its triumphant return, and even a few hidden gems that can break big.

The story, which saw its first season in 2016, was adapted from Japanese manga that had already garnered a massive and dedicated following. In fact, the printed version of the story had become so wildly popular that it had already sold more than one million copies before the first season of the show ever even came into existence.

As streamers continue to carve out their niches for specialized content, Netflix has established a firm foothold in original anime production of both established and original IP. On Tuesday morning, the platform outlined a group of exciting upcoming titles, headlined by the hugely anticipated “The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf” animated spinoff, in a pre-recorded Studio Focus panel, streamed as part of the Annecy Film Festival.
In “The Witcher,” one of Netflix’s most popular original series to date, Henry Cavill plays Geralt of Rivera, the outcast monster hunter who is loathed by most he comes across and willing to do dangerous and unsavory work for pay, earning himself a guarded admiration from some he’s helped. But, before Geralt came Vesemir, a headstrong young witcher who relishes his job and the earthly benefits he reaps in doing what others can’t or won’t. Seemingly unshakable, Vesemir will face...

One of the most iconic (shonen) anime of all times, based on the homonymous manga by Tite Kubo, “Bleach” is getting a new release in 2022 (probably) which will focus on the last arc of the original, “Thousand Year Blood War”. Thus, it seems like a good time to take a look at what the anime was all about.
The article is filled with spoilers
The story, which eventually extended to 366 episodes, takes place in Karakura Town and focuses on Ichigo Kurosaki, a 15-year-old high school student. During a fateful night, Kurosaki becomes a substitute Soul Reaper when Rukia Kuchiki, a Soul Reaper, cannot fulfill her duties after engaging in battle with a particularly powerful Hollow. Although initially reluctant to accept the heavy responsibility, he begins eliminating Hollows in Rukia’s place and during this time discovers that several of his friends and classmates are spiritually aware, and have powers of their own.

A number of titles that achieve this goal have been released during the latest years, so it is time to check if the latest sensation, which won the “Anime of the Year” at the 2021 5th Crunchyroll Anime Awards falls under this category or is just another shonen.
The protagonist of the story is Yuji Itadori, an unnaturally fit high school student living in Sendai with his dying grandfather, who spends his days at the hospital. Although many sport clubs are pursuing his talents, Itadori has chosen to deal solely with the Occult Research Club, which includes only two other members, both because he is enjoying the atmosphere but also because it allows him to leave school early to attend to his grandfather.
