I’ve been writing about anime openings for a long time, and I keep a private rule about them: a good OP tells you what a show is, and a great one tells you what the main character feels when no one’s looking. Yorushika’s new opening for The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 is the second kind….
Fridays just got a lot more poisonous, and I mean that in the best way. The Apothecary Diaries Season 3 English dub dropped on October 16, 2026, and if you’ve been waiting to hear Maomao deadpan her way through another imperial disaster in English, your wait is over. Crunchyroll kept the simuldub gap tight, the…
I’ll admit something that will cost me some credibility: I’ve rewatched a 90-second ending video more times this week than I’ve rewatched any opening in the last two years. No mecha. No betrayals. No protagonist screaming at the sky. Just cats, roof tiles, and a lot of sunlight. Crunchyroll dropped the creditless ending for Paw…
Okay, let me catch my breath, because Shochiku just dropped the official announcement for Yumene Connect (Yumeneko Nekuto in Japan), and my timeline has been chaos ever since. Kou Sawada’s Weekly Shonen Magazine rom-com is getting an anime. The website and social accounts are live, and we’ve got a teaser PV and a key visual…
I’ll admit I almost scrolled past this one. Another idol romcom, another ‘secret identity’ hook, another teaser dropped at a convention. Then I saw the staff list and the premise, and I stopped. The teaser for Everyone’s Darling Has a Secret (Houkago no Idol ni wa Himitsu ga Aru in Japan) premiered at New York…
I’ll be straight with you: I did not expect to feel this smug on a Monday. When Shueisha’s Jump Press showcase on October 12, 2026, confirmed that Kota Kawae’s Nue’s Exorcist (Nue no Onmyoji) is getting a TV anime, I had the same reaction as plenty of longtime readers. Half of me wanted to shout…
Okay, deep breath. Haruichi Furudate just drew Shoyo Hinata in his Karasuno uniform again, and I am absolutely not fine. On October 12, 2026, the Shonen Jump YouTube program Jump PRESS delivered the news: Haikyu!! is officially teaming up with Japan’s Spring High School Volleyball Tournament, better known as Haruko, for the first time since…
I’ll be honest: I wasn’t expecting to get this invested in an anime about people who work at a game studio and drink after hours. Then I read the first few chapters of Noa Is My Senior and My Friend and lost an entire evening. So when the production committee dropped the first key visual,…
I’ve been reading manga long enough to remember when ‘legal and convenient’ felt like a joke. You either waited months for a volume to cross the ocean, juggled three different apps, or quietly ended up on a scanlation site with a guilty conscience. So when Crunchyroll announced its October 2026 update for Crunchyroll Manga at…
New York Comic Con 2026 just handed us the date we’ve been refreshing Twitter for. One-Punch Man Season 3 Part 2 premieres in January 2027, confirmed by Bandai Namco Filmworks alongside a fresh trailer and a new teaser visual. My first reaction was pure hype. My second was a quiet ‘…please don’t mess this up.’…
