00:00We begin with some pretty shocking news coming out of China.
00:03Authorities there have carried out a series of arrests targeting members of anime fan communities on charges of subversion of
00:11state power.
00:13According to reports, these groups not only shared content from their favorite series,
00:17but also used anime aesthetics, memes, and popular characters to disguise messages of political dissent and criticism of the government
00:26in closed forums.
00:28For the Chinese government, this poses a threat to national security, as anime is a mass medium among young people.
00:37This measure marks a historic tightening of control over subcultures in the country,
00:42making it clear that not even cartoons are safe from state surveillance if used for political purposes.
00:48Terumi Nishi, a renowned animator on projects such as Jujutsu Kaisen, has dropped a bombshell about the true state of
00:57current production.
00:58Nishi claims that, even though many companies publicly deny it to avoid backlash from fans,
01:05studios are already using artificial intelligence behind the scenes.
01:09How are they using it?
01:11Mainly for tedious tasks such as backgrounds, color correction, and some in-betweens.
01:18According to her, it's the only way they've found to meet the in-human deadlines and the extremely high-quality
01:24standards demanded by today's global market,
01:27even if this puts the jobs of novice animators at risk.
01:30A new report indicates that the manga market in Japan is undergoing a drastic generational shift.
01:37Young people are stopping buying physical volumes at an alarming rate.
01:41It is primarily a crisis of pricing.
01:44With the rising cost of paper and the cost of living in general, a manga volume is no longer a
01:50cheap indulgence.
01:51Furthermore, the convenience of digital platforms, such as Jump Plus or Manga Plus,
01:57offers subscriptions that are much more affordable than owning a physical collection,
02:02which also takes up space that most young people in small apartments no longer have.
02:07Physical manga is gradually becoming a luxury item for collectors.
02:11Good news for fans of Isekai and fanservice.
02:15The production of the third season of Isekai Mawu to Shukan Shoujo no Dore Magutsu has been officially announced.
02:23The premiere is scheduled for October 2026.
02:26As a sequel, we'll continue to follow the adventures of Diablo,
02:31who, despite his social anxiety, must keep up his facade as the Demon Lord
02:36while dealing with new summoners and threats that will test his power.
02:39To wrap things up, the first trailer for the anime adaptation of Yuri Let Me Fix You has been released.
02:47It will be a short-form series, mini-series format, and is set to premiere in July 2026.
02:54It is a Yuri romance story with psychological undertones that follows the relationship
03:00between an optimistic but somewhat obsessive girl and her partner who exhibits self-destructive behavior.
03:07The plot revolves around the protagonist's, sometimes toxic, attempts to
03:12fix or change the personality of the person she loves.
03:16What a flurry of news!
03:18What do you think about what the Jujutsu Kaisen host said about AI?
03:23Do you think the studios are right to use it in secret?
