The Guilty Gear video game series is receiving an anime adaptation! https://youtu.be/CcMgvwfQPHY?si=-dH8Y0g9lA6q07V_

A cute looking anime movie releasing in Japan in 2026. Looks like an English language release is planned, as well.

All You Need is Kill, known best in the US as the inspiration for the Tom Cruise/Emily Blunt film Edge of Tomorrow, is receiving its own anime feature film adaptation. It looks like it will have a very colorful, trippy, mind-bending design style. https://youtu.be/HDkb6E7Fn2g?si=DWxZNpS08nXeivXk

This anime is very different from its light novel's story and that's a good thing!!! As the light novel progressed its tone became darker and bleaker to the point where I eventually decided I wasn't going to continue down that rabbit hole to see where it ended. I know people are almost always critical of anime changing the story from their source material so I'm impressed the creators of this anime were willing to risk that criticism and alter it to the degree they did. Huge improvement IMO.

It's been 3 years, but One-Punch Man is returning for Season 3! Season 2 left a lot up in the air. I don't know about you, but I'm excited!

Is anyone else watching I May Be a Guild Receptionist, but I'll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out On Time? I like it because it's a fantasy anime with a silly premise that isn't an isekai and isn't built on video game logic. It's also had some touching moments, and the characters are fun.

Vampire Hunter D will be in some theaters for its 40th anniversary in April!!

As you may already know, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba's next arc following the Hashira Training Arc, The Infinity Castle Arc, is not receiving a television treatment. It is instead being adapted into a trilogy of movies. Other notable anime, like Haikyuu!!, Konosuba, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Sailor Moon: Crystal, have taken this same approach of adapting canon content into exclusively theatrical releases. How do you feel about this practice? What are the pros and cons?

Has anyone who was planning to watch Angel Beats! for our #otakuclub live discussion NOT had a chance to finish it?

I just spotted this at the store. It sounds really interesting. Has anybody seen it? Thoughts?

Why is this show so good? Currently on episode 4,(waiting for dub) and I have to say the music choices and the animation is spectacular! The way the sky and city lights are depicted at night completely blew me away. If you haven't started this, go check it out!

For those who like reading and Studio Ghibli movies I made a book club on Fable if anyone is interested in joining! Right now we are starting the book Howl's moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones, this club is a slower paced one so there is no pressure to race through the book. https://fable.sng.link/Ali7l/etuk?_dl=%2Fapp%2Fclubs%2F53a18696-e0f3-4b58-8ff8-52279eb76659&_fallback_redirect=https%3A%2F%2Ffable.co%2Fclub%2Fghibli-book-nook-with-georgie-193088255059&_smtype=3

Yo, I'm about to drop something that's definitely an unpopular opinion around here: I don't actually like Cowboy Bebop all that much. I'm not saying it's a bad show or it's overrated, it's a great show and I can understand why it's a classic anime still beloved to this very day. However, upon watching it a couple months ago, I just wasn't feeling it like everyone else does. Anybody else feel like that, or am I literally the only one in this? #cowboybebop. #science_fiction #action #anime

The Colors Within, from Naoko Yamaha, the director of A Silent Voice, releases to North American theaters January 24th!

This show has been one of the biggest surprises for me in a long time. Amazing animation, well developed story, interesting world building, and likable characters. I didn’t hear many people talking about this before it started airing either. Highly recommend people watch this one. 25 episodes and still going.

I've been putting off watching the Digimon Adventure reboot because I read some very unfavorable reviews. If you've watched it, what did you think of it?

I just realized yesterday (despite knowing all the relevant word roots) that the title Neon Genesis Evangelion literally means "New Beginning Gospel." What are some anime titles whose significance took YOU a hot minute to understand?

Angel Beats! has won the vote for #otakuclub selection! Please join me in watching! The date for the live discussion will be posted at a later date.
