Psst...the Winter 2025 anime season Daily Streaming review assignments are here.― The Winter 2025 Preview Guide is wrapped up (barring some late premieres), and I'm happy to report the editorial team has survived! This season offered the most litRPG/isekai variants I've seen in a while (about 10 this season), but it looks like ANN readers continue to be blase about it (and shojosei adaptations). A ...
In an era when digital media is getting lost, destroyed, or put on a shelf to collect dust forever, having this collection is nothing short of a miracle― I never thought we would see the day we would get something like this. In the 2000s, I was a kid taken to see a film called Digimon: The Movie, an original film based on one of my favorite franchises, Digimon. At the time, I thought the film was fu...

Jerome gives context on why this series remains popular in Japan.― The internet asks: Hideaki Anno is creating a new Space Battleship Yamato film. What is the enduring legacy of this series in Japan?

How I Attended an All-Guy's Mixer isn't bad, but it hardly feels like it's taking advantage of any of its potential.― How I Attended an All-Guy's Mixer is not a complex show. The story's premise of its ostensibly straight male leads winding up dating a trio of hot drag kings certainly lends itself to the potential of exploring gender presentation, roles, and sexuality in relationships. But while tho...
Jean-Karlo gives the lowdown on the latest Like a Dragon direct, Bayonetta's anniversary, and the sad saga of Mighty No. 9.― Welcome back, folks! I don't know if this relates to my adblocker, but Nintendo's eShop website is always so twitchy for me. Whenever I try to make a purchase, it asks me to log in and then throws up a wonky error page. It's annoying since I'll have to make the purchase on Swi...
