Oh sweet, another Kemono Friends news.
But what about the Hunter x Hunter manga come back in january?
Or the one-shot by Tite Kubo for Jump?
Or the chinese Saint Seiya mobile game with very new animation sequences?

I didn't see any of these news on Anime News Network, does that mean they are not confirmed news or not very interesting?
(I'm really wondering, it's no sarcasm... except for the first line, I cannot stand Kemono Friends anymore)

Sugoi!

Also you can send ANN in some tips, and I think they credit people who give them tips in the article.

The rise and fall of the tanoshi(i) is probably why KemoFure caught everyone's attention this year.

This JT article explains all the longlist entries into the competition (might be behind a paywall)

Enjo specifically refers to social media backlashes & I think normally means going up in flames, so I guess an English equivalent would be firestorm.

For the lazy:
Kemono Friends - obvious

Enjo - firestorm, mostly linked to a number of "controversial" (mostly sexist) adverts

Youtuber - obvious

Touken Ranbou - obvious

First - As I understand it, saying you put X first has become somewhat of a meme since Trump & then Koike started doing it,

Premium Friday - A half arsed attempt to convince Japanese workers to go home early on the last Friday of each month. It failed.

Kyōbōzai - Refers to an amendment to the "anti-conspiracy" law that got ramrodded through the Diet this year.

Hand Spinner - Fidget Spinner

J-Alert - The impending threat warning system that this year mostly refers to N. Korean missile launches.

Insta-bae - Something you've just gotta upload to Instagram.

Thank you. I sent them a tip last year but I never got any answer and they never made an article (it was about the Blu Ray release of Berserk 2016 uncensored with comparitions with the censored version).
