Graduating from high school, Aoba Suzukaze starts working at "Eagle Jump", the game production company that created the game, “Fairies Story” she was engrossed in when she was young. There, she meets Ko Yagami, the character designer for that game.
One attendee, who goes by the Twitter handle @nickelpin, was curious what the ventilation was like in various areas of the convention center, so she brought along a portable carbon dioxide monitor. Honestly, I don't think the second half of Ranking of Kings completely fulfills the Aninewsworld setup and promise of its first half. However, that's a difficult complaint to not make when the first half was a nearly perfect concatenation of mind- and world-expanding concepts tracing the show's evolution into an ambitious and heartwarming take on fairy tale adventures.

Sometimes a show is just good because it's constantly, infectiously entertaining, and that fits Sabikui Bisco to a T. There's the cartoonish monster designs that the cast approach with totally straight faces. The wild action sequences that turn mushrooms into WMDs. The way every single drawing of Pawoo is the coolest thing ever put to screen, only to be one-upped the next time she shows up. It's just a blast from start to finish, and is absolutely worth everyone and anyone's time. Takeoka and Tiv launched the Masamune-kun no Revenge after school (Masamune-kun's Revenge after school) spinoff manga in Monthly Comic Rex September 2018, and ended it in January 2019.

What's interesting to note is that, for all the popularity of yuri anime lately, the yuri manga market is actually considerably smaller than the BL market—one estimate puts it at one-quarter the size of the BL manga market. The manga and anime markets are not the same thing; manga is cheaper to produce and can serve devoted niche audiences with little risk. Yet considering the relative sparseness of BL anime, it would be very difficult to say that rising awareness of the LGBTQ+ community is the sole or even the main factor behind the popularity of yuri anime. It's hard to say whether there's a “concerted push by members of the industry,” but it's undeniable that yuri anime has been experiencing a renaissance lately.

― The staff for the television anime of Kengo Hanazawa's Under Ninja manga revealed a main promotional video, a new visual, one new cast member, opening theme artist, and October 5 premiere on Friday. Kroi performs the opening theme song "Hyper." Additionally, Kōichi Sōma joins the show's cast as Ozu. The website also revealed more music staff for the anime, in... But having all that ambition in all those directions means there is an exponentially large number of ways for things to go wrong. As I write this, Wonder Egg Priority still has not finished its run, and the cracks in its shell are strainingly visible for all to see. The story's dedication to long-term revelations and concept resolution means the final say it has on these systems of societal suicide could be underdeveloped or even outright ignorant by the end.
This means that sometimes our heroes acted less than heroic, or even in a way that is downright reprehensible. Will the show ever be able to fully reconcile its desire to explore the many perspectives of its traumatized, war-torn ensemble with its knack for making action scenes that kick a dozen different kinds of ass six ways to Sunday? Will it manage to retain its anti-war perspective without falling victim to its own muddy imagery and themes?
