Shenmue The Animation (2022) - Official Trailer

 Check out the trailer for Shenmue The Animation, premiering on Toonami/adult swim on February 5, 2022! This anime is based on the classic Sega Dreamcast game. In the game, Ryo trains to become the strongest martial artist in order to defeat the person who killed his father. I never got to play this game, but my brother played Shenmue and its sequel on the Dreamcast back in the day. I was thinking of watching a playthrough of the games on YouTube next, so watching those along with the anime will be pretty interesting!

 

Voltes V: Legacy - One Epic Ride | Featurette

 Check out this live action version of Voltes V, called Voltes V: Legacy airing later in the Philippines! This looks amazing, and is apparently very faithful to the original anime! I hope this gets released beyond the Philippines, because I really want to watch this!

If you want to watch the original anime, Voltes V is on Tubi in the U.S.!

OddTaxi Movie - Teaser Trailer

 There will be an OddTaxi movie coming out in Japan in April, 2022! OddTaxi was the best anime series I watched this year, so I really want to see this! This movie seems to recreate the series, but also expands on what happens after the end of the series. I am very intrigued by this! Crunchyroll will  stream this movie as well! I can't wait!

If you haven't seen OddTaxi yet, do it now! It's on Crunchyroll!

Nobody Wants To Subtitle This Anime || A Heart Cocktail Review/Doc By kenny lauderdale

 Here is a fascinating video on the somewhat obscure anime series Heart Cocktail, done by the great kenny lauderdale. He goes into what the anime is about, and the creative force behind it, Seizo Watase. Even though it may have been an anime that has been lost to time, it still influenced the current artists in Japan. Check out the video, kenny explains everything so much better than I can. I really want to watch this series (with subtitles) some day. Still, I can at least enjoy it on a visual and aural level on YouTube. The art style is just so nice to look at. It has nice music in it, too! We shall see if this ever gets subtitled, whether officially or by fans...

(I had nothing to do with the creation of this video)
