00:00We're kicking things off with science fiction, as the first trailer for the original project,
00:05Rebel Robotica, has been released. The series is animated by Silverlink and based on designs
00:11by illustrator Mika Picasso. Its official premiere is scheduled for 2027. The story is set in the
00:18year 2050, in the near future in Shibuya, Tokyo. Humanity lives comfortably and happily thanks to
00:25the Robotica, machines identical to humans that were created to serve them and fulfill their
00:32desires. However, the appearance of a mysterious girl named Lily threatens to disrupt the order of
00:38this perfect world. We're shifting gears completely as the quirky manga Kizuguchi to Hotai has officially
00:44announced its anime adaptation by Studio JC staff, with a premiere set for January 2027. The plot is
00:52a bizarre romantic comedy that follows Go Kiritani, a young tough Yakuza member who is tasked with
00:59looking after Ryo Washizu, his boss's daughter. Although she seems like a normal girl, Ryo hides
01:06a very unusual fetish. She is deeply aroused by seeing strong men weaken or get hurt. This dark
01:14kink will greatly complicate poor Go's life and work. For fans of more racy stories, the main trailer for
01:21Kanojo no Tomodachi has been released, a series of animated shorts set to hit screens under the
01:28Deregula label this coming October 2026. Takeru is a student who finally lands his first girlfriend,
01:36the lovely Kaori. Everything seems to be going smoothly in their relationship, until his girlfriend's
01:43vivacious best friend Tomoko decides to start seducing him behind her back, tempting him with her looks,
01:50and putting him in a situation that's as compromising as it is dangerous. Great news for fans of Chitos is
01:57in the Ramun bottle. It has been officially confirmed that the second part of the series will air later
02:03this year, 2026. As a direct sequel, it will pick up the dramas, misunderstandings, and the hectic social
02:12life of the popular Saku Chitos, right where we left off in the first half. Time flies in the anime
02:19industry. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the premiere of its first season, the Mob Psycho 100
02:25franchise has released a brand new special animated short film. Directed by Yuzuru Tachikawa and featuring
02:33the original cast, this short serves as a nostalgic tribute and a thank you gift to all the fans who
02:39have
02:40accompanied Mob and Raigen over the past decade. Moving on to more complex corporate issues, Takeshi
02:47Natsuno, the CEO of the giant Katokawa, parent company of anime studios and From Software, has managed to keep
02:56his position following an intense campaign against him. A group of activist investors led by Oasis
03:03management demanded his immediate dismissal due to the company's declining profitability and pressure
03:09to exploit franchises such as Elden Ring more aggressively. Although Natsuno survived the board
03:17vote, his support dropped dramatically from 90% to just 59% over the past year. Essentially, they kept
03:26him in his position because they had neither a backup plan nor an immediate replacement, but the ultimatum
03:32is clear. Either he improves the company's bottom line or his days as leader are numbered.
03:38To wrap up, we have a case of international censorship. New Zealand's rating authorities have officially
03:45classified the popular My Dress Up Darling franchise as R18, for adults only. New Zealand has extremely strict
03:54laws regarding print and audiovisual material. The authorities determined that the ekki elements,
04:00suggestive camera angles, and the female character's body proportions cross the line of what is
04:07permissible, especially since the protagonists are underage high school students. This rating strictly
04:13prohibits its sale and distribution to minors in the region, adding to the long list of manga and anime
04:20that suffer the consequences of a cultural clash with Western regulations.
04:25And that's all for today. I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
04:29What do you think about the Kadokawa case and the pressure from investors?
04:33Do you think the censorship of My Dress Up Darling in New Zealand is fair?
