Happy New Year From Around the Anime World: Snakes on a Plane Part III

posted on by Ken Iikura-Gross
Featuring Oshi no Ko, Pokémon, Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, Blue Lock, Negima, Sega, Hiro Mashima, & more!

As the new year rises, Buddhist temples around Japan engage in joya no kane (midnight bell ringing). People believe ringing the temple bells 108 times rids the world of Earthly desires. Earthly or not, those desires persist with our want to see New Year's greetings from around the anime and manga world:
