Since the debut of the One Piece anime, the one allegation that has been haunting the creators of the series is that they overly sexualize their female characters. Be it Nami or Bonney, many fans believe that Toei Animation goes out of its way to flaunt One Piece’s female characters which is unjustified.
Nami and Robin
These accusations regarding the alleged objectification of women in One Piece have significantly grown after the time skip and while Eiichiro Oda has many times stated that they have never intended to do such a thing, the anime scenes and portrayals say otherwise. This has also severely affected the One Piece series.
Although there have not been many serious allegations that could rupture the reputation One Piece has built over the years, they tend to shift the focus of the story from the plotlines and characters to such issues which is never a...

“Only ignorant fools say ‘ninja.’” So claims Taki, the mysterious matron of the Tawara family, as she sternly corrects her grandson in the old ways. Played by veteran actress Nobuko Miyamoto, there’s much more to Grandma Taki than meets the eye. Such is the way of the world in Netflix’s new series, House of Ninjas. The proper term is “shinobi.” It’s what was used historically.
House of Ninjas is a new action dramedy that follows a modern-day shinobi family who has forsaken the lethal trade of their ancestors for a “normal” life. And like in every dramedy, the Tawaras are comically and tragically dysfunctional. The family patriarch, Soichi (Yosuke Eguchi) struggles to maintain a low-key profile whilst his wife Yoko (Tae Kimura) and daughter Nagi (Aju Makita) succumb to their old devious habits, stealing stuff just for the rush. Their thievery goes from grocery store shoplifting to museum art object theft.

Lil Uzi Vert was briefly and totally erroneously identified as the suspect in an alleged dog-napping case in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on Thursday, Aug. 31.
On Facebook yesterday, the Wilkes-Barre Township Police Department shared a post about a pup pilfered from a local pet store. It included details about the case, a picture of the stolen dog (a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy named Riku), the alleged suspect’s car, and the alleged suspect — only the last one was extremely incorrect.

At this point in his career, Kazuyuki Akashi has largely remained under the radar, although he might be a director worth seeking out. His 2011 debut film ‘Press' caught attention at its Cannes international screening, but his international attention seemed to dwindle shortly thereafter. Last year's ‘Hannora' might be similar to ‘Press' in its focus on themes relating to troubled youth, merging the Japanese words ‘half' (han) and ‘stray' (nora) with its title. And with all of its action, drama and absurdity, ‘Hannora' might be the film which will bring this director back to international attention.
Hannora screened at Japan FilmFest Hamburg
The film follows the perspective of Naoto, a high school student in a rock band with his two best friends who works a part-time job at a mysterious Chinese restaurant which occasionally hosts music performances. Naoto's life takes a turn when he runs into Maki, a girl his...

The story of the forty-seven ronin of Ako avenging their fallen master is a significant historical event in Japanese history that has practically gone down as a legend. The events that transpired have frequently been retold in media, most notably in literature through the fictionalized accounts known as “Chushingura.” In addition, many retellings of the vengeful retainers' plot for revenge have been depicted in traditional theater and in cinema. Filmmakers that have directed their depictions include Kenji Mizoguchi, Kunio Watanabe, and Hiroshi Inagaki. Of the countless cinematic renditions, one of the more underrated and unique is Kon Ichikawa's “47 Ronin.”

Director Kon Ichikawa, who had directed a fair share of period pieces beforehand like “An Actor's Revenge” and “The Wanderers,” had expressed interest in adapting “Chushingura” for quite some time. He was finally given the opportunity towards the approaching end of his career.
