TV Asahi is one of Japan’s best-known television channels, and anime fans will know it as well for its contribution to the anime market, which includes Crayon Shin-chan, Doraemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Blue Lock, Boys Over Flowers, Slam Dunk, Sailor Moon and numerous Gundam titles. But, recently, TV Asahi has decided to make a slightly different contribution to the world of anime by revealing a list of the 20 best anime songs of all time in a special program, but with a twist.
Namely, these songs were selected and ranked only by foreign, non-Japanese fans from around the world. The list includes songs from different time periods, which is why it is a very diverse list, and that is always a good thing. Sadly, we don’t have the special for you as it is not available for streaming, but we do have the list, so enjoy some of the best anime songs ever!

In an interview during the release of the second season of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, Tite Kubo, the creator of the series, made a grave mistake. He revealed some important information about the Bleach anime series, after which, Shueisha, the Japanese publishing company, was forced to cut an entire part of his interview.
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War
According to reports, Kubo shared some exclusive details about the captain of the 13th division of the Gotei 13, Jūshirō Ukitake, and his connection to Hell in the Bleach narrative. Although the connection between the two has already been discussed in the manga, Kubo must have revealed something extremely intriguing for Shueisha to take such a step.
The revelation was made by the interviewer, Chiaaki Matsuzawa who was interviewing Kubo for the Krew beInside special show on Jump Comics YouTube channel. She later pointed out that the part about Ukitake and Hell’s Phosphorus...

When the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War anime was first released in 2022, fans were so impressed by the series and the modifications that it made to the original storyline from Tite Kubo’s manga that the anime series was considered by many to be better than the Bleach manga. This was even admitted by Kubo himself.
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War
In an interview, Kubo revealed that the Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War anime did a better job of portraying the story and developing the presence of characters compared to the anime. He even pointed out the two characters who were not focused much on in the manga, but the anime did a good job of redeeming them with the help of voice actors.
The two characters in the discussion are Ryūnosuke Yuki and Shino Madarame, who served as the replacement for Zennosuke Kurumadani as the guardian of Karakura Town. Although these characters...

Attack on Titan ended on a great note and wrote its name in the history books as one of the greatest anime to be ever made. After entertaining the fans for a decade and making them experience all kinds of emotions, everyone bid goodbye to Eren Jaeger in a feature-length finale released on November 4, 2023. While the manga ended in 2021, the anime took a couple of years to reach the finale.
Hajime Isayama’s ending was not taken on a great note by the fans, so he had to make a few changes before the release of the finale. Even though it proved to be a massive success, there is one aspect that Hajime Isayama wished he could have changed. It might have been his greatest regret with Attack on Titan.

In 2022, Vinland Saga’s creator Makoto Yukimura did a joint interview with Attack on Titan’s mangaka Hajime Isayama, where they discussed each other’s works. While talking about Vinland Saga and Attack on Titan, Isayama made a big revelation when he talked about his favorite character from Yukimura’s magnum opus.
Still from the end of Season 1 of Vinland Saga
During the interview, Isayama revealed that his favorite character from Vinland Saga was Thorfinn, who is the protagonist of the series. Thorfinn, when introduced, was a small kid who always dreamed of going on an adventure, and when he was able to fulfill this dream, his life took an unexpected and dark turn. The series is based around Thorfinn’s struggle.

Created, written, and drawn by Makoto Yukimura, Vinland Saga is a historical epic and a work of true genius. While many series rely on high-stakes action to become massive names, Yukimura’s manga cements its status by making its readers appreciate the great storytelling and the emotional depth it features. At first glance, the manga will look like an action series, taking place in ancient Scandinavia of the Viking Age, showcasing how a young Thorfinn seeks revenge on a mercenary who killed his father.

However, once knee-deep in the series, the readers will find how the series features the theme of fatherhood, honor, and the consequences of violence. Though it will sound surprising, Yukimura was not exploring one of these themes in his manga, as he recalls how one of the key themes in his series was sheer accident.

Although anime manga might just be a source of entertainment for many people, there are some series that have a deep meaning and value behind them, the Vinland Saga being one. The epicenter of the plot is Thorfinn, who sets out to get revenge for his father but fate has some other plans for him.
Makoto Yukimura does a fantastic job of immersing viewers in the story, which has been ongoing since 2005, with more than 200 chapters already published. However, as all things end, the inevitable cessation is extremely close, with fans scratching their heads at how the story might end.
Thorfinn
If you are deeply in love with Thorfinn, then it might shock you; however, if Makoto Yukimura keeps following history as closely as he has so far, then most likely Thorfinn is going to die at the age of 27, as the inspiration behind him, Thorfinn Karlsefni Thórdarson, also passed...

Anime’s popularity can be attributed to a number of factors, including its diverse genres, unique storytelling methods, and its unique art style. But what makes anime more interesting is how they include raw violence to add an extra layer of intensity and realism to their plot. Nowadays, anime studios are censoring themselves as they are making anime following Western standards.

The series, which is considered to be one of the “Big Three,” has entered the anime world once again and has proved that it is still one of the best anime and manga series of all time.

However, the series, compared to his predecessor, had a few changes that fans might not have noticed. While these changes did not affect the series in any way, they surely brought a new upgrade to the series. One such change was so discreet that even the creator of the series, Kubo, could not notice.
In an interview, Kubo mentioned that the voice of the protagonist, Kurosaki Ichigo, had changed a little, and he was not able to point it out. But his family was quick to grasp it and even mentioned it to him.

Zoro is a legendary character, not only in One Piece but in other anime and manga franchises as well. The daunting swordsman is often the butt of jokes due to his inability to figure out directions. However, that has not stopped him from appearing in other famous works.
Franchises like Haikyu!!, Kagurabachi and more have included Zoro references in their plot, proving that other mangakas are nerds for Eiichiro Oda’s work. But make sure this doesn’t reach the ears of Sanji fans, or the rivalry between the characters might just prove fatal.

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. Whether it is about Eren Jaeger’s story being eerily similar to Kafka’s or just the uncanny presence of monsters in general.

We are currently in the midst of an international Kaiju renaissance of sorts. Godzilla Minus One won an Academy Award for its visual effects and was a hit across the globe. Meanwhile, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire was number one in the American box office for a second week in a row. And though he’s certainly “King of the Monsters,” Godzilla isn’t the only giant creature to get the spotlight. With the release of the Kaiju No. 8 anime, based off the wonderful manga by Naoya Matsumoto, the audience for stories of mysterious gargantuan creatures will grow even wider. But even if they don’t necessarily fit into the Kaiju Eiga (monster movie) subgenre of science fiction, the potency of the Kaiju has been explored in anime over and over again. There is a power to the idea of a mammoth monster with god-like strength, one that often...

There are so many directions that a Spy x Family could pursue. The ongoing anime has a deeply versatile story structure that allows it to indulge in diverse missions so that the series always feels fresh. Accordingly, it’s seriously surprising to see Code: White function as a covert cooking anime movie.
It’s the type of story that audiences would expect to see in a Food Wars! or Toriko feature film, but not Spy x Family. It’s also an ambitious approach to Spy x Family’s first movie that hedges its bets and is too cautious to disrupt the status quo. Code: White is still rich in classic Spy x Family elements, even if it amounts to an empty meal.

The Attack on Titan manga officially ended in 2021, and the anime was also finished last year, so we can say that the series is over. And while Hajime Isayama did leave space for a continuation, it doesn’t seem likely that a sequel to the globally popular series will appear anytime soon. But, this doesn’t mean that there won’t be any more Attack on Titan content, as a special art book titled Attack On Titan Art Book: Fly is set to be released on April 30, 2024. And while this special collector’s edition will certainly be a proper gift for every fan of the series, this is not the most important detail.

Luffy, before engaging in a fight with the CP0 agent, did something instinctively that reminded Attack on Titan fans of Eren Jaeger, the protagonist of Hajime Isayama’s series.

One Piece is one of the most popular anime of all time. It has been running for more than 25 years, and its popularity has been on a constant rise. Monkey D. Luffy’s journey to become the King of Pirates still keeps the audience on the edge of their seats. On the other hand, Attack on Titan came to an end in early November 2023.
For the past decade, Attack on Titan has become a household name for anime fans. Even though One Piece and Attack on Titan have been reigning supreme for quite some time, they were recently dethroned by a fan-favorite anime from the new generation. The anime to top the viewing charts, overtaking the old-generation anime, is Jujutsu Kaisen.

If big wins at The Anime Awards weren't enough, now Guinness World Records is touting the success of the Jujutsu Kaisen anime. Guinness is using data from Parrot Analytics to give Jujutsu Kaisen the distinction of "most in-demand animated TV show," a title that has been in the hands of Attack on Titan since 2020. Those calculations aim to determine "demand" based on metrics like "attention, engagement, desire and viewership." Social media engagement ranges from likes and shares to related hashtags, and viewership is centered on downloads and streams. They also factor in "research" actions like looking a series up on sites such as IMDb. Actions like streaming carry more weight because of the effort required, apparently, but the bottom line is they've deemed Jujutsu Kaisen to be pretty darn popular. The One Piece anime was in the running, too, but Jujutsu Kaisen hit a surge near the end of 2023 that carried it over the hump.

Jujutsu Kaisen has officially dethroned the long-reigning champion Attack On Titan as the world’s most in-demand animated TV show. This accolade comes as data-science firm Parrot Analytics unveiled its latest findings, which revealed that Jujutsu Kaisen boasts a global demand rating 71.2 times greater than the average show.
This demand was calculated based on consumer attention, engagement, desire, and viewership. The firm analyses billions of data points daily, including streaming activity, social media engagement, and online research behavior.
Jujutsu Kaisen edged out One Piece and Attack On Titan to claim the top spot.
Despite One Piece experiencing a surge in popularity due to Netflix’s live-action adaptation, and Attack On Titan maintaining its fanbase throughout its final season, the release of Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 episodes in the latter half of 2023 fueled its increased demand, reaching its peak on Dec 29 at 128 times the demand of the average show.

Hajime Isayama is undoubtedly a brand name in the world of animanga. The Attack on Titan author has made, according to many, one of the best and most popular series in history, and we can actually confirm that Attack on Titan is, indeed, a major title. While some fans are dissatisfied with how Isayama ended his story, the overall impression is that Isayama managed to earn his place in the history of manga and anime with this title.
While Attack on Titan is Isayama’s most famous work, it is certainly not his only work, but for a decade, Isayama has not been writing anything other than the series that made him famous. Until now. Although the news was released on April 1, 2024, it turned out that it was not a joke, as Isayama really is working on a new one-shot manga.
So, what is this new project we are talking about?...

Alex Garland is about to deliver what the /Film staff has declared one of the best movies of 2024 with "Civil War" — a film that will surely give rise to a nice, pleasant, and completely unproblematic discourse. Adding to the discussions may be the fact that the massive war drama about journalists on the front lines trying to do their job in the middle of a second U.S. Civil War could also be the last movie Alex Garland ever directs.
So said the writer-director in 2022 while shooting "Civil War," claiming that he is "definitely" walking away from directing, at least for a while. In a new interview with The Guardian, Garland reiterated his goal of having his filmmaking career end with his latest A24 project. "Nothing's changed," he said about his retirement plan. "I'm in a very similar state. I'm not planning to direct again in the foreseeable future."

The ending of Attack on Titan was hugely anticipated when it finally arrived back in 2021. The manga’s finale provoked a lot of debate among fans, with many feeling unsatisfied.
So when it came time for the anime adaptation, everyone was on the edge of their seats wondering if the creators would tweak or overhaul that controversial ending.
The anime team has a strong track record of close collaboration with the original manga author Hajime Isayama, so hopes were high that they might “fix” things and deliver a more satisfying conclusion to such a massively popular series.

"Suicide Squad Isekai," premiering this July, bridges the worlds of DC Comics and anime. "Isekai" is a popular anime genre; meaning "another world" in Japanese, Isekai anime follows an everyman lead being transported to a magical realm, "Alice in Wonderland" style. This time, the "everyman" leads are Harley Quinn (played by Anna Nagase instead of Margot Robbie), Deadshot, Peacemaker, King Shark, and Clayface.
Wit Studio ("Attack on Titan") is producing "Suicide Squad Isekai," but the series is only happening thanks to Warner Bros. Japan. Variety recently reported that Warner Bros. plans for DC Comics-inspired anime are only beginning. Like Disney, Warner Bros. has noticed an audience appetite for anime and is responding to it.
James Gibbons, Warner Bros. Discovery president of Asia-Pacific, told Variety:

Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy has some of the most quotable dialogues in cinema history. Several lines by Batman and Joker in the film have left a mark on pop culture and have even found themselves in modern memes. However, not every line could leave an impact like Harvey Dent’s- “You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent in The Dark Knight
Fans were shocked to learn from Christopher Nolan that the iconic dialogue was not written by him but by his brother, Jonathan Nolan. The Nolan brothers have collaborated on several projects like The Dark Knight Trilogy and The Prestige. When the Westworld co-creator recently visited the SXSW Film & TV Festival, he explained the iconic Harvey Dent dialogue.

The idea of humans transforming into monsters to address injustice isn’t new; manga like Attack on Titan and Parasyte have already included it. Still, Kaiju No.8 returns to the notion that if a human becomes a kaiju, it must be among the strongest and the greatest of two species.
While some may dismiss Kaiju No.8 as a mere imitation of Attack On Titan, it actually presents the narrative with a finesse that arguably surpasses its predecessor.
Echoing the legendary Godzilla series, Kaiju No.8 mirrors Attack On Titan in several ways, particularly in how its central characters, Kafka Hibino, and Eren Yeager, possess the remarkable ability to morph into the very creatures that threaten their worlds.

Unlike Eren Yeager, who was praised for his mastery of omnidirectional mobility gear against Titans, Kafka is essentially at a disadvantage with his humanity.
