Godzilla is getting a feature-length anime movie! Aside from that, Akiba’s Trip is also getting a series and Babymetal is getting their own short-form live-action/animated hybrid series. Our featured anime and live-action movies are Log Horizon season 2 and Attack on Titan: The Movie part 2.

This week an amorous skunk and a very fast mouse are getting their own movies, and the trailers prove that sometimes anime is just plain weird.Our featured anime are Samurai Bride (Hyakka Ryouran), and Diebuster: Top Wo Nerae 2.

The sarcasm meter is off the scale this week with arguments about violence in animation and a live-action, CG animated feature film of Woody Woodpecker … for Brazil! Our featured anime are Samurai Harem (Asu no Yoichi!), Haikyuu Season 1 Part 2 and Top Wo Nerae: Gunbuster (Aim for the Top! Gunbuster).

This week we find out what happens when you don’t ban certain plot devices from a short story competition, and a “shrine” to anime and manga is being rebuilt. Our featured anime are Durarara!!x2 Shou, Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works part 2 and Anomalisa (from Curzon Artificial Eye).

This week we find a gender-swapped “sexy” version of Monkey D. Luffy, a ban on plots about reincarnation or transport to other worlds, and a few trailers. Our featured anime is Parasyte: The Maxim part 1 (and technically the manga series Midori Days).

It’s another trailer fest filled with ballet, idol dances, bishounen prison breaks, and possibly the nerdiest anime concept for a while. Our featured anime are Kuroko’s Basketball and Attack on Titan: The Movie (part 1).

This week we fight our way through all of the trailers and teasers to find that single, shining piece of good news – Junko’s comedy manga “Kiss Him, Not Me” is getting an anime adaptation! Our featured anime are Love Live Season 1 and Aldnoah Zero.
