00:00The highly anticipated third season of One Punch Man has caused quite a stir among fans
00:05following its recent premiere. The production, handled by studio JC Staff, has been criticized
00:12for its animation and technical execution, drawing comparisons to the acclaimed first season from
00:182015, produced by Madhouse. Based on the original manga by One and illustrated by Yusuke Murata,
00:26One Punch Man won the admiration of audiences for its mix of action, comedy, and high-level
00:32visual combat sequences. However, after the second season in 2019, fans noticed a decline in quality
00:41that seems to be repeating itself in this new installment. According to reports and comments
00:46on social media, the first episodes feature action scenes with limited animation, uneven direction,
00:52and flaws in the sound design, factors that have affected audience reception. Even so,
00:58many fans maintain their support for the technical team and are confident that the series will regain
01:03its impact. The classic anime Claymore was removed from Crunchyroll's catalog last week without any
01:10official statement from the platform. The series, produced by Madhouse and originally released in
01:162007, no longer has legal global distribution, which has caused annoyance among fans. Users began
01:24reporting the disappearance of the title over the last few days, and so far Crunchyroll has not explained the
01:30reasons behind its removal. The move has reignited the debate about the lack of transparency surrounding
01:36the expiration of classic anime licenses within the service. Some reports indicate that Claymore may still be
01:44temporarily available on Amazon Prime Video and in specific regions such as Hong Kong and India via Netflix,
01:51although not globally. Though, the production team for the film Zombieland Saga, Yumaginga Paradise,
01:58has released a new promotional video titled Climax PV, which features a previously unreleased song by the
02:05idol group Franchu Show called Yukyu Never Die, Eternal Never Die. The film will premiere in theaters in Japan,
02:14October 24, 2025. During the event commemorating the anime's second anniversary, it was officially
02:22announced that Kusuriya no Hitorigoto will have a third season and a movie with an original story
02:29written by author Natsu Hyuga. The announcement was accompanied by a commemorative video and a new
02:35promotional image. According to the details revealed, the third season will be divided into two parts.
02:42The first will premiere in October 2026 and the second in April 2027. In addition, the movie will debut in
02:52Japanese theaters in December 2026, marking the franchise's first foray into film. A new trailer has been
03:00revealed for the film Jujutsu Kaisen the Movie, Shibuya Incident Special Edition X Culling Game Advanced
03:07Screening, which will premiere in theaters in Japan on November 7, 2025. The video features previously
03:15unseen scenes from the highly anticipated Culling Game arc and confirms Naoya Zenon's first official
03:23appearance with an exclusive visual. The trailer shows intense clashes between Yuji Itadori and Yuta Okatsu,
03:31as well as brief appearances by Megumi Fushiguro, Choso, and Ryomen Sukuna, highlighting the animation
03:38and drama characteristic of the series. It has been confirmed that the new anime from the iconic
03:43Ghost in the Shell franchise, officially titled The Ghost in the Shell, will premiere in January 2026.
03:51The series will mark a visual and narrative reboot, abandoning the CGI used in previous installments to
03:58return to the traditional 2D style. The official website for the anime adaptation of Mayonaka
04:04Heart Tune, based on the manga by Masakuni Igarashi, announced on October 28, 2025, that the series will
04:13premiere on January 6, 2026. Along with the news, a new promotional video was released, previewing the
04:22musical themes, and part of the main cast. The original manga, which began publication in September
04:282023 in Kodansha's weekly Shonen magazine, combines romance, drama, and music in a story about young
04:37people seeking to connect their hearts through the power of voice. Ten volumes have been published to
04:42date. The official website for the anime adaptation of The Darwin Incident, a manga created by Shun Umezawa,
04:50released its first promotional video on October 28, 2025, along with a new main visual, confirming the
04:58three main characters of the series. Based on the manga published since 2020 in Kodansha's
05:05Afternoon magazine, The Darwin Incident tells the story of Charlie, a human-chimpanzee hybrid who
05:11faces social prejudice and ethical dilemmas that question the limits of humanity. The work has received
05:18multiple awards, including the 2022 Manga Taisho and an Excellence Award at the Japan Media Arts
05:26Festival. The official website for the anime adaptation of Yusha Party ni Kawaii Koga Itanodei,
05:33Kokuhaku Shaitemida, based on the light novels written by Suisei and illustrated by Lana,
05:39announced that the series will premiere on January 6, 2026, in Japan.
05:45The story follows Yoki, a retired hero who, after his time with a legendary group,
05:52meets an adorable girl on his new journey and decides to confess his feelings to her,
05:58starting a story of romance and light fantasy. During the Fantasia Bunko Hasokyoku Aki no Dai
06:05Kanshasai event, Kadokawa officially announced that the light novel series King's Proposal,
06:11written by Kushi Tachibana and illustrated by Tsunako, will receive an anime adaptation currently in
06:18production. Although no details about the cast or studio in charge were revealed, a commemorative
06:25illustration by Tsunako was shared. The story follows Saika Kuozaki, a powerful sorceress who
06:32fights destructive entities that appear every 300 hours. After suffering a fatal wound, she transfers her
06:40powers and body to an ordinary boy named Mushiki Kuga, who must attend a magic academy posing as Saika
06:47while learning to master his new abilities and hiding his true identity. The third season of One Punch Man,
06:54based on the manga by One and illustrated by Yusuke Murata, faces strong criticism after the broadcast of its
07:01third episode. Fans have pointed out problems with poor animation, chaotic direction, and a fast pace that
07:08makes it difficult to follow the plot, especially during Garu's defeat, which occurs in a matter of
07:14seconds. Despite some flashes of well-executed action, the episode has been labeled inconsistent and
07:21messy, with scenes of Saitama and dialogue that add little to the narrative development.
07:27Fans lament the loss of the balance between parody and epic that characterized the series in its early
07:34seasons. With only three episodes aired, the community wonders if the studio will be able
07:40to recapture the essence and visual quality that made the series famous, or if this season will be
07:46marked by fan disappointment. In a recent interview, Shinkai Makoto, director of Your Name, stated that
07:52today he would discard the scene in which Taki, upon waking up in Mitsuha's body, touches her breast.
07:59As he explained, although at the time it was conceived as a dreamlike device and part of the
08:05body itself, with today's sensibilities, it would not be accepted, and he prefers not to include it in
08:12new broadcasts. The director reflected on how the limits of what is permissible have changed in the
08:18last six years, and how this influences the way scenes involving physical closeness and consent are
08:24approached. Shinkai also mentioned that, following the success of Your Name, more than 250 billion yen in
08:32Japan, and Weathering With You, more than 140 billion yen yen, he has taken a more careful approach in his
08:40subsequent works, such as Suzume no Tojimari, prioritizing accessibility and respect for the audience.
08:48The filmmaker concluded that the goal is to balance emotion and narrative without resorting to elements that may
08:54be inappropriate for today's audience, suggesting a debate about whether classics such as Your Name
09:00should be re-released, with adjustments that reflect changes in social sensibilities.
09:06The film Kimetsu no Yaiba
09:08Infinity Castle continues its international success, and has become a phenomenon in Hong Kong,
09:14while its release in mainland China remains unconfirmed. This has led many fans to cross the
09:21border to enjoy the film in local theaters. Local media report that viewers from nearby cities,
09:27such as Shenzhen, travel several times a year just to see Japanese films that are not shown in their
09:33country. The phenomenon has generated a positive economic boost for Hong Kong theaters, which are
09:40still recovering from the drop in revenue following the pandemic. Professor Ng Kwok Kwan of Hong Kong Baptist
09:47University explained that the absence of the premiere in China could be related to political reasons and
09:53historical sensitivity, especially during the 85th anniversary of the victory in the war against Japan.
10:00Meanwhile, the one country, two systems principle allows Hong Kong to screen the film freely,
10:07showing how cultural autonomy benefits the region. For fans, traveling to Hong Kong is not only entertainment,
10:14but also a way to connect with Japanese culture without restrictions.
10:17On October 23, 2025, the Tokyo District Court issued a ruling related to a workplace harassment lawsuit
10:26against an employee of Sagawa Express, clarifying that the use of the Japanese suffix dash-chan
10:33does not automatically constitute sexual harassment. The complainant, a former employee in her 40s,
10:40alleged that an older male colleague addressed her with expressions such as,
10:45you're cute and, you have a nice figure, in addition to using dash-chan.
10:51After suffering from depression, she resigned in 2021 and sued both the man and the company.
10:58The court determined that the combination of inappropriate attitudes, and not the suffix itself,
11:04constituted a pattern of offensive behavior, ordering the defendant to pay 220,000 yen.
11:11Judge Shinji Tahara noted that the use of dash-chan in a work environment, combined with comments
11:18about appearance and overly familiar treatment, can be offensive, but is not sexual harassment on its own.
11:25The case emphasizes the importance of respecting professional boundaries and empathy in workplace
11:30communication, beyond simple linguistic expressions. And if you want to discover all the secrets behind
