We have recently reported that Tite Kubo’s Bleach is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the anime’s premiere with a special exhibition in Japan and that the franchise is heating up for the upcoming third part of the Thousand-Year Blood War anime, which is set to premiere later this year. SennaRin released “Reaper,” a song related to the series, and the first part of the new anime season received its special Blu-ray release, all in preparation for the upcoming third cour. But, while the anime is on a break, Bleach is still very much alive in the hearts of fans, as is witnessed by a recent cosplay we were able to find.
Namely, Bleach cosplay is quite popular, and while not as popular as some other series due to the franchise’s status, there are still numerous cosplayers who like to bring Bleach characters to life. One of them is Mayweda,...

Kaiju No. 8 is finally here for fans to watch after having waited for an extremely long time. Seeing how much care and dedication Naoya Matsumoto has put into the series, it is only fair that the anime should either do justice to the manga or surpass it beyond the fans’ expectations. There have been many shows, movies, and other anime that it has been compared to.

From Attack on Titan to Godzilla, the world of monsters isn’t unique yet it is not too common either. One of the biggest works it gets constantly compared with is Hajime Isayama’s magnum opus.

As I mentioned before, the Kim Hiro incident and particularly the way it was covered by the media, inspired a number of filmmakers to explore new cinematic methods that would examine the concepts of timeliness and actuality in cinema and the connection between documentary and fiction. Toshio Matsumoto, in a precursor to his feature debut, “Funeral Parade of Roses” came up with a 15-minute short which was presented through three projectors running different images at different speeds simultaneously, in an effort to mimic the visual layout of the newspaper, in a frame split in two that features completely different images.
Among the many images presented in frantic speed here, we have various of Kim Hiro, as the one with his portrait on the left side and newspapers on the right, which is held by an individual taking part in a street performance. Continuing this segment of the film, in which...

There are many coming-of-age stories that can take place in the transitory phase of maturity but a subgenre of the same is where Kaiju No. 8 lies. The subgenre is referred to as delayed coming of age. The themes of maturity, finding yourself in the world, and other such factors remain, except that the age of the protagonist is much past their 20s. One of the biggest examples of the same can be Julia Roberts’ Eat, Pray, Love.

Kaiju No. 8 stands as another such story. In the world of shonen manga, to establish oneself in such a magnitude is a big feat on its own. Naoya Matsumoto managed to do so with common tropes and a unique vision.

Kaiju No. 8 stands out in one way many shonen works fail to. It is relatable in a way most coming-of-age stories wouldn’t be. At the same time, it keeps tropes from the genre in a flow that helped it gain its popularity even more. There is much support for the idea introduced, however, it is the protagonist who holds the aces.
A still from the Kaiju No. 8 trailer
As the series premiere approaches, questions are being thrown here and there about just how such a concept came into being. A character who is regarded as well past his prime gets to live his journey through life in a way he never saw coming.

Takumi Matsumoto is an actor and up-and-coming artist. Growing up, he loved musicals like “Peter Pan” and began acting at three. The early days of his career included commercials and eventually J-Dramas like “My Girl.” As he got older, his motivation grew, and he landed a supporting part in Takashi Murakami's “Jellyfish Eyes” and the role of John in the Japanese Broadway production of “Peter Pan.” Since then, Matsumoto has continued to work in theater, film, and television. Recently, he starred alongside Myuri in Yoko Higuchi's sci-fi drama short film “Synthetic Love.”
Recently, we spoke with Matsumoto about acting, the filming process in Japan, filmmaking relationships, and other topics.
What motivated you to pursue an acting career?
When I was three years old, I started acting. One of the reasons I studied acting was because when I watched the musical “Peter Pan,” I wanted to fly through the sky.

The quest to be known as the strongest being in the world gets overshadowed by the complicated father-son relationship between the Hanmas as the second part of the second season of Netflix’s anime adaptation of Baki Hanma releases worldwide. It all eventually comes down to this one fight, as all the hardships Baki endured, the beatings he took, the inhuman training he went through—everything was his preparation to match up to his father, Yujiro ‘Ogre’ Hanma. The fight for which the fans have been waiting for almost three different series takes place in the final arc of Baki Hanma and ends in the most surprising fashion as well.
The Hanma bloodline is explored further, and Baki’s traumatic memory of his mother’s death is revealed as well through the course of the series. Alongside the main plotline, a subplot also shapes up in the form of Kaiou...

Following the success of “Noise”, Yusaku Matsumoto had some trouble coming up with his next movie, instead opting to deal in shorts and TV. This changed in 2022, with “All My Fault”, which was, though, definitely on a lower level than his aforementioned debut. As such, it is with great pleasure to see that he is back in form with “Winny”, a court drama focusing on the homonymous copyright infringement criminal case, the first in which a computer program developer faced a criminal charge for assisting in the copyright infringement of the program's users.
Winny is screening at Japan Cuts
The film follows the actual events quite closely, starting with the two arrests of Winny users, which eventually led to the apprehension of the actual developer of the program, Isamu Kaneko, a 33-year-old assistant professor at the University of Tokyo who is also the main protagonist of the movie.

Tokyo, May 8 (Ians) Japan on Monday officially downgraded the legal status of Covid-19 to the same category of seasonal influenza and relaxed other Covid-19 measures previously in place.
The downgrading of the virus means it will no longer be in a special category equivalent to or stricter than Class 2, but is now categorised among Class 5 diseases like seasonal influenza, Xinhua news agency reported.
If there is in future a spike in cases of Covid-19 infections, under the new lowered categorisation, a state of emergency will not be declared and people and businesses are allowed to make decisions by themselves on antivirus measures.
As for quarantine guidelines following infection, the government here had previously recommended that those testing positive for Covid-19 isolate for a period of seven days and those who had been in close contact with an infected person quarantine for five days.

The blockbuster French cast of Amazon Prime Video’s third season of “Lol: Qui rit, qui sort” speaks volumes about the Japanese variety format’s tremendous popularity in France.
The Amazon Original series, adapted from the format “Lol: Last One Laughing,” scored its biggest launch to date on Prime Video in France since bowing on March 10. The show is one of the streamer’s first unscripted originals in France and has been a major coup as a brand exercise that’s succeeded with limited resources — certainly in comparison to scripted comedy. Adaptations of “Lol” have also thrived in Italy and Germany where they have ranked as the most watched local titles on the service, respectively. Local versions are also available in Spain, Canada, Mexico and Australia (hosted by Rebel Wilson).

Winner for Best Director at the Tokyo Film Festival, Best Debut Feature in Udine, Jury Award in Camera Japan and of Audience Award in Japan Cuts, Nippon Connection and Asian Pop-Up Cinema, Seiji Tanaka’s feature debut Melancholic is one of the smartest Japanese films we have seen during the latest years, particularly in the way it mocks a number of genre conventions and general concepts, while remaining entertainingly genre itself.
“Melancholic ” is streaming on Sakka Films
Despite having graduated from the prestigious Tokyo University, Kazuhiko is unemployed and living with his parents without any plans for the future, in a lifestyle that could be easily described as that of a hikikomori. As the story begins, however, two events change his life completely, in rather unexpected ways. One day, he stumbles upon a former classmate, Yuri Sojima, who, opposite of him, is socially adept, cheerful, and even more surprisingly, seems to like him.

According to Deadline, Retriever will play Dump Matsumoto, a professional wrestler who rose to prominence as one of the leading female wrestlers in All Japan Women’s Pro-Wrestling during the 1980s. Matsumoto’s immense popularity led to a boom in women’s wrestling at a time when the sport was male-dominated. The series will depict Matsumoto’s friendships and fights with companions and foes, tracing her journey as she tries to succeed as a heroic pro wrestler who was nearly fired before becoming the most famous Japanese female wrestler of all time. Matsumoto was the leader of the faction Gokuaku Domei — which included other beloved women wrestlers, Crane Yu, Condor Saito, and Bull Nakano. Last year, Retriever won the R-1 Grand Prix...

Fractured narrative is a technique that has produced a number of masterpieces through the years, with “Mulholland Drive” and “Rashomon” being the first that come to mind. The contemporary Japanese version of the technique involves three different arcs that intermingle, focused on a single event, as exemplified in Lee Sang-il’s “Rage.” Yusaku Matsumoto follows in the footsteps of the Zainichi Korean.

The event that serves as a base here is the Akihabara Massacre, which took place in 2008 and involved Tomohiro Kato, who drove into a crowd with a truck and then stabbed at least 12 people with a dagger, eventually killing seven and injuring 10. The man was sentenced to death, and the announcement of his sentence serves as the beginning point of the film.
Misa, whose mother was murdered during the incident, has to face a father who neglects her, with his sole focus being on gambling on horses.
