My Beautiful Man: Eternal

Oh, that was lovely. So, so lovely. It was everything I wanted from the two series and didn't really get - a real progress in their relationship. And now, finally. The wait was worth it!

And I actually cared about both the relationship, the gay one - Kiyoi & Hira - and the het one, too - Anna & Kiriya - and that's a sign, at least for me, that something is really well written, really well balanced.

This movie had everything: humor and drama, romance and action, psychopaths and goofs - and psychopath goofs, I'm looking at you, Hira! The way he went from "I will kill you 👿" to "Let's go, Kiyoi 😇" gave me a whiplash, ha!

Also, I just have to mention Maeda Kentaro who played Kiriya. Holy smokes, he was so very beautiful here, the way he was styled, took my breath away...

DISNEY+: ecco tutti i nuovi anime in arrivo appena presentati al Content Showcase 2022

Tokyo Revengers cambia casa, la Fenice di Tezuka risorge e altre novità ci attendono nel 2023 e oltre.

Considerato che a distanza di più di un anno dal precedente appuntamento, tuttora alcune delle serie annunciate in occasione dello scorso Content Showcase di Disney devono ancora cominciare ad arrivare su Disney+, fa un po' sorridere (e anche un po' piangere) che la casa di Topolino si affretti comunque a sbandierarne delle altre.

Quanto ci metterà ad imparare la stessa lezione impartita a Netflix? I fan non amano aspettare troppo, soprattutto se si parla di titoli dal grande richiamo, ma andiamo con ordine.

🔶🔸TOKYO REVENGERS: CHRISTMAS SHOWDOWN

Togliamoci subito il dente e veniamo alla prima notizia, che come per "BLEACH: THOUSAND-YEAR BLOOD WAR" penso farà mettere le mani nei capelli a diversa gente: ebbene sì, l'attesa seconda stagione dell’action supernatural drama, tratto dal celebre manga di Ken Wakui (che qua in Italia possiamo leggere grazie a J-POP Manga), sarà distribuita in esclusiva da Disney. Press F for Crunchyroll.

In Asia, fra l'altro, gli episodi verranno passati in simulcast, a partire da gennaio 2023, mentre qua in Occidente non è chiaro entro quando li vedremo arrivare.

Faccio notare che la licenza in questione fa parte di un pacchetto, ottenuto tramite un rinnovato accordo con la casa editrice Kodansha, quindi prepariamoci a una guerra sempre più aperta fra i vari servizi di streaming on demand. 

🔶🔸PHOENIX: EDEN17

Altro sorpresa, stavolta piacevole però. Nel corso del 2023 arriverà un nuovo adattamento animato de "LA FENICE", uno dei grandi classici firmati dal Dio del Manga in persona: Osamu Tezuka.

Il format non è stato specificato, ma il teaser anticipa già il bel lavoro in corso d'opera fatto presso STUDIO 4℃ (I Figli del Mare, La Fortuna di Nikuko).

🔶🔸SYNDUALITY

Confermato l'arrivo sul catalogo anche della serie mecha sci-fi che accompagnerà il lancio, nel 2023, dell'omonimo videogioco sviluppato da Game Studio per Bandai Namco.

In produzione presso lo studio 8-BIT (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Blue Lock), l'anime ha come regista un insospettabile Yusuke Yamamoto (Encouragement of Climb, OshiBudo).

Spesso me ne dimentico, ma in tempi non sospetti ha anche diretto "KNIGHT'S & MAGIC" e "AQUARION EVOL".

🔶🔸 MURAI IN LOVE

Per questa siamo ancora, evidentemente, in alto mare. Non si sa ancora se sia una serie tv o no (ma presumo di sì dai), né chi ci stia lavorando o quando arriverà, ma intanto abbiamo la conferma che potremo vedere la commedia romantica comodamente in streaming.

Tratta dal manga di Junta Shima, la storia ha come protagonista un innamoratissimo e determinatissimo liceale, che per vincere il cuore della propria insegnante è pronto a qualsiasi cosa, anche ad un cambio radicale per assomigliare in tutto e per tutto al suo personaggio dei videogiochi preferito.

🔶🔸DRAGONS OF WONDERHATCH

Il potere degli isekai è così incontrastato che ormai anche Disney è capitolata. Per l'inverno 2023, infatti, è stato annunciato il debutto di questo originale ibrido fra live action e anime.

Dietro alla cinepresa della parte con attori in carne troviamo Kentaro Hagiwara (Tokyo Ghoul - Il Film), mentre la regia della parte animata è in mano a Takashi Otsuka (One Piece: Stampede).

Quest'ultima sta venendo realizzata presso gli studi PRODUCTION I.G (Ao Ashi, The Deer King) con alla base il concept design di Posuka Demizu, l'illustratrice di "THE PROMISED NEVERLAND".

🔶🔸PROJECT BULLET/BULLET

In ultimo, chiudiamo con un altro progetto originale nato da un'idea di Sunghoo Park (Jujutsu Kaisen, The God of High School), sulla quale sta lavorando da parecchi anni.

Il titolo della serie è ancora provvisorio e maggiori dettagli verranno rivelati in futuro. Per il momento vi posso solo dire che il tutto è in cantiere presso E&H PRODUCTION (Ninja Kamui), lo studio appena fondato dal regista.

An appreciation post for Mizuki and her boyish hairstyle! She played Maid Rin on the Live-Action, BLACK BUTLER in 2014. She’s been wanting to cut her hair short for a long time. But couldn’t do it for the roles that she was getting. She had her hair cut short for a drama role before this movie. [+] You can watch a video of her getting her haircut here. [+]

Tokyo Ghoul (2017)

Riddled with gripping fight scenes and tasteful gore, this adaptation of Tokyo Ghoul brings the popular manga series to life like never before.

Buried in books and a quiet life, Ken Kaneki is all but dead to the world in an age where flesh-eating ghouls live among us. But when his only chance for survival is an organ donation that turns him into a ghoul-human hybrid, he finds sanctuary at Anteiku -- a cafe run by the people he once considered monsters. Targeted by anti-ghoul forces, this safe house is up against a hunger more sickening than their own. When their most innocent members are threatened by humanity’s taste for vengeance, Kaneki will risk life and limb to protect the very world that changed his own.

Directed by:   Kentaro Hagiwara

Starring:   Masataka Kubota, Fumika Shimizu, Yu Aoi, Nobuyuki Suzuki, Yo Oizumi, Shunya Shiraishi

Release date:   October 16-22, 2017 (in select U.S. theaters)
