Oh, they're focusing on *new* IP for these.

That's cool. Especially since there are a number of Japanese creators floating out there thanks to Netease and Tencent cutting back.

Proper Kamen Rider games, I beg.

Also, what's Bandai Namco gonna do now? Feels like this is half their output.

I saw that when I was looking up the author, but haven't had a chance to jump into it yet!

You & I Are Polar Opposites | Official Trailer | Crunchyroll YouTube video by Crunchyroll

If you're looking for a straightforward, lovely anime romcom in 2026, I recommend You and I Are Polar Opposites.

Somewhat like Horimiya, the main couple just sort of get together early on, and everything is about them and their friends navigating relationships.

The rumors for quite a while were that they were doing 08th MS Team with Centineo as Shiro and Sweeney as Aina. The synopsis points in a different direction a bit.

Apple CEO Cook steps down, effective Sept. 1; Ternus named CEO from Chris Ciaccia of Seeking Alpha.

Tim Cook squashes retirement rumors, says he ‘can’t imagine life without Apple’ Cook told ABC’s “GMA” that reports he was preparing to step aside were a rumor and said he “can’t imagine life without Apple.” His comments follow a turbulent stretch for Apple’s leadership team and renewed criticism that the company is falling behind in AI under its current structure. The debate comes as Apple approaches its 50th anniversary, prepares major new product launches, and faces pressure to deliver on delayed AI promises like Siri. by MacKenzie Sigalos of CNBC

Today vs. a month ago.

Again, they can just lie. He went on Good Morning America and just lied. He knew he was leaving.

If y'all are not doing 08th MS Team, I have *questions*. And that synopsis has me asking questions.

It turns out that peak running performance looks like rushing to the bathroom while holding in a shit.

Everything's great until you have to unplug a kidney to upgrade to Kidney RTX.

I had the same realization when I saw it. Went straight to:

Saiyan Yankii speaks to me deeply.

Toei, drop what you're doing and get on this train. Saiyan Yankii With a Heart of Gold has already sold 100 million copies and greenlit 20 spin-off films.

It's funny, because I know this from writing, but it's actually useful across any medium: writing, drawing, animation, podcasting, etc, etc.

I spend so much time researching and finding the right tools for things outside of writing, when the answer is always the same: just start.

This is how I've lived and continue to live.

Love your editor, because you can and will hand them the most heinous dogshit and they will turn it into passable copy.

The next #ProjectRED show is...

Bright side: they did somewhat fix it later.

*Editor's Note: In fact, the ghost who walks dies all the time. This is the 21st man. His only power is guns.

IF Raimi had been able to adapt The Shadow, then all the scant additional material surrounding the character would be tied to that brand, rather than being owned by Raimi.

‘The Phantom’ Live-Action TV Series in the Works From Filmmaker Reginald Hudlin, King Features (EXCLUSIVE) A live-action TV series based on Lee Falk’s comic strip "The Phantom" is in the works from "Candy Cane Lane" and "Sidney" filmmaker Reginald Hudlin.

On the face of it, I question why you would want to revive the story of a character created in the 1930s.

Like, at best, maybe you remember posters asking you to "SLAM EVIL" in the the 90s.

It feels much better just... Darkman-ing it and keeping all the money?
