00:00Film Kometsu no Yaiba, Infinity Castle, produced by Ufotable and distributed by Toho,

00:05continues to dominate the global box office. According to the latest reports,

00:09the film has surpassed $633 million in global revenue, ranking as the fifth highest-grossing

00:15film of 2025. The feature film remains ahead of major Hollywood productions such as F1 and Superman

00:21and is only surpassed by Najat 2, $1.92 billion, Lilo, and Stitch, $1.03 billion,

00:28a Minecraft movie, $957 million, and Jurassic World Rebirth, $867 million. The film's release

00:36in China, scheduled for the coming weeks, could further boost its figures, consolidating Infinity

00:41Castle as one of the biggest phenomena in contemporary anime. Since the success of

00:46Mugen Train in 2020, the Kometsu no Yaiba franchise has transformed the presence of anime in international

00:51cinemas, proving that Japanese productions can compete directly with major Western releases.

00:56The global impact of Infinity Castle reaffirms the rise of anime in the film market and opens up the

01:02possibility for more Japanese franchises to follow this model of coordinated international distribution.

01:07On October 13, 2025, author Reiji Miyajima, creator of the Manda Kanojo Okarishimasu,

01:14responded on social media to a comment criticizing the length of his work after it reached 42 volumes,

01:20equaling the number published by Dragon Ball. A Twitter user wrote,

01:23I can't help but feel sad about the decline of this country when I see that the number of volumes

01:27of Kano Kari has already equaled that of Dragon Ball, referring to the fact that, while Goku saved the

01:32world in that number of volumes, Konzuya has not yet managed to win over Chizuru.

01:37Miyajima responded humorously, the characters just didn't do what I wanted them to do,

01:41and before I knew it, the story had reached so many volumes. The author's reaction surprised fans,

01:47as he rarely responds to criticism of his work. However, the exchange reignited the debate about the

01:52length of the manga, which despite divided opinions, remains one of the most successful

01:56and profitable romantic comedies of recent years, with multiple anime seasons and solid sales in Japan.

02:03The original author of Solo Leveling, Chugong, explained in an interview with leaders that Solo Leveling,

02:08Ragnarok should not be considered a direct continuation of the main story, but rather a spin-off

02:13created for fan service. The web novel, written by Dahl, was published between April 2023 and July 2025,

02:20totaling 357 chapters. The story follows Sung Soo-ho, son of the original protagonist Sung Jin-woo,

02:27as he faces a new threat. Its webtoon version, launched on October 1, 2024, continues to be

02:33published with great success. Chugong clarified that Ragnarok belongs to the Solo Leveling universe,

02:38but is not part of the main canon. This story is part of the universe, but not a direct continuation.

02:44It's more of an alternate version of events, like a parallel universe. The author also expressed

02:49his interest in writing an official sequel in the future. For his part, Dahl appreciated the

02:53opportunity to expand the world of the work and emphasize that he wrote with respect for Chugong's

02:58original vision. On October 6, 2025, Japanese platform DealSite, known for distributing digital

03:04games and Dijinchi, announced the launch of Minna no Ginko Payment, a new internal payment system

03:09developed in partnership with digital bank Minna no Ginko. The move comes after the suspension of Visa

03:14and MasterCard transactions due to policies related to the handling of adult content on

03:19the platform. Since April 2024, DealSite had temporarily restricted the use of both cards,

03:24leading JCB as the only credit option available in Japan. Despite previous attempts to modify

03:30sensitive labels, such as Loli, to comply with international processor guidelines,

03:35the measures proved insufficient. The new system allows direct payments by linking a Minna no Ginko

03:40bank account to a user account with Vivian, DelSite's parent company, eliminating the need

03:44for foreign intermediaries. In addition, rewards and discounts will be offered to those who use the

03:49method, although it will only be available within Japan. Similar initiatives have already been seen

03:54in this sector. In 2022, the Skev platform launched its own cryptocurrency, Skevcoin, to avoid

04:00international payment restrictions. The official website for the anime adaptation of Dorohitoro,

06:28serialization in February 2024 and ending on June 9, 2025, with a total of seven compiled volumes

06:41psychic powers who faces unusual crimes. The anime One Dance, produced by Madhouse and available on Disney+,

06:47drew criticism for the poor quality of its 3D animation. The series, directed by Michiakatu

06:53and based on the manga by Kofi, follows Kaboku, a reserved student who discovers dance thanks to

06:58Hikari Wanda, a young woman passionate about hip-hop. The main source of controversy was the CGI dance

07:04sequences, considered outdated and unexpressive, which contrasts with the visual style of the rest of

07:09the anime. On social media, viewers pointed out that the animation ruins the experience in a series

07:15focused on dance. Madhouse, known for titles such as Soso no Friaren and Overlord, now faces criticism over

07:21the technical execution of this project. Although the narrative and designs maintain the studio's

07:26characteristic style, the 3D scenes were compared to MMD-level animations, considered obsolete.
