🏴‍☠️ Live-Action One Piece Series Gets 2nd Season

Netflix has renewed the live-action series adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's One Piece manga for a second season.

The show debuted exclusively on Netflix with eight episodes and ranked #1 in its first two weeks, and even the original creator, Oda, who served as an executive producer, expressed satisfaction with the series.

The adaptation started with the East Blue arc and promised to create "a true One Piece."

This is awesome news - Netflix is giving us a second season of the One Piece live-action series after it totally dominated the charts! I've gotta admit, I was a bit skeptical at first, but they really nailed the spirit of the anime. And after that cliffhanger ending, I'm totally on board to see more of Luffy's amazing adventures in live action! Bring it on!

⚔️ The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 3 Coming After Extended Break

The highly anticipated Season 3 of the anime "The Rising of the Shield Hero" will premiere on October 6, 2023. The anime series faced backlash and a six-month delay, resulting in a three-year hiatus after the first season.

Hitoshi Haga is the new director for Season 3, and there are also some changes in the production crew, like notable additions to the voice cast and music team.

The series is adapted from a web novel and has the potential for future seasons. It gained controversy due to elements like slavery and a false rape accusation.

I know this show got some controversy, but I can't help loving the characters and world. The new director and staff changes definitely have me intrigued too.

I'm just so pumped to reunite with Naofumi and the gang and see where their crazy isekai journey takes them next! October can't come soon enough!

😍 Get Ready to Fall In Love

There's a new anime coming out on October 6th that I'm super excited for - it's called "You Were Experienced, I Was Not: Our Dating Story," and it's based on this really popular light novel series from 2020.

The story follows Ryūto and Runa, two high schoolers from totally different worlds who end up forming this unlikely bond. He's kind of a loner while she's super popular, so seeing them navigate their contrasting lives together sounds so cute and relatable.

There's also a manga version that's out too if you want to catch up on the story and see the characters before the anime drops. And it's being animated by ENGI who always deliver top-tier visuals, and directed by Hideaki Oba, so I just know this is going to look and feel amazing.

👊 Fist of the North Star Manga Gets New Anime

Fist of the North Star is getting a brand new anime reboot for its 40th anniversary! How crazy is that? This manga is such a classic - it's set in a post-apocalyptic world and has the most badass protagonist, Kenshiro.

The original anime was 152 episodes long back in the 80s. I've been a hardcore fan forever and cannot wait to see Kenshiro destroy evildoers again in this new adaptation. They're gonna have to really bring their A-game to do justice to such a legendary series.

But I've got high hopes! This is a dream come true for us Fist of the North Star fans. I can’t wait to see it!
