[00:18] floodgates open and my watch list takes structural damage. The last few weeks premises I would have called fake a year ago, trailers that made me physically sit up off the couch. So, before the hype cools, here's the new anime that
[00:31] just got announced and frankly looks completely crazy.
[00:45] face in a hundred years, the plants are dead and the air is quietly running out. The fix humanity landed on, turned dying people into trees. That's Full Dive and the second I read that logline, I knew I was in trouble. A young guy named
[00:57] Doshiro Kamiya, broke, scraping together money for his sick mother's medication, signs up for transfloration. Get a seed planted in your body, become a plant, cover this one. I was sold because of the pairing behind it. Sunrise and Shaft
[01:11] time, which is like two rival chefs agreeing to cook one dish. Netflix is how the tone holds together and that uncertainty is exactly why I can't look uncertainty is exactly why I can't look away.
[01:30] Right, let me lighten the mood before I spiral.
[01:58] everyone and their cousin has been begging to see animated and JC Staff October release. The hook is gloriously family has written off as a hopeless gamer, stumbles into a legendary
[02:11] blacksmith class inside the VR game Satisfy. The catch? It nukes him back to level one. The reward? He can now forge gear strong enough to break the entire spot for a crafting power [music] fantasy. There's something deeply
[02:23] satisfying about a lead who wins by building rather than swinging. It's riding the same Korean fantasy wave as Solo Leveling, so the bar is set high. If the animation keeps pace, this could be a very good time.
[02:51] now that Donghua are about to gate crash the mainstream and Call Me Lord Airy Bailey feels like evidence for the prosecution.
[03:27] Firebird Culture adapted from the web novel Please Call Me Ghost Messenger and the premise goes straight under my skin. An eternal night falls over the world, ghosts and worse come spilling into the streets, and a young man named Wang Ye
[03:39] gets conscripted by a mysterious post office to become a ghost messenger living and the dead. The aesthetic everyone keeps reaching for is Silent comparison isn't lazy. There's no firm release date yet, which is mildly
[03:53] agonizing, but if Big Firebird brings the fluid-dread-soaked animation that they're known for, this one I'll be watching through my fingers.
[04:09] hit play because the manga it's adapting carries a personal recommendation from Saga. And if you've been here for a while, you know I'm a fan.
[04:54] definitely listening. The Bugle Call follows Luca, a boy with literal branches growing out of his head who serves as a bugler in a mercenary outfit while dreaming of becoming a musician. His gift is wild. He can see sound,
[05:06] troops in the middle of a battlefield. It's a dark military fantasy with a magic system I genuinely haven't seen anyone attempt before. CyberAgent's new in-house studio is handling it for a 2027 debut, and I'll be honest, a brand
[05:19] new studio is a gamble, but the premise alone, plus that Yukimura stamp of approval, has me cautiously, dangerously optimistic.
[05:36] straight back to misspent youth, Dungeon Fighter Online.
[06:08] class-based side-scrolling beat-'em-up set in the world of Arad, where you pick [music] dungeons crawling with demons. It's been quietly printing money for two giving it the full Donghua treatment. I'll be straight with you. Solid plot
[06:23] but the animation in that reveal, absurd. The kind of fluid, weighty, choreography that Chinese studios have been sharpening for years, and it looks one. I'm wary of game adaptations as a rule. They've burned me plenty of times.
[06:38] [music] This trailer, though, has me properly curious. Show me the dungeons. properly curious. Show me the dungeons. >> [music]
[06:55] subscribing to the channel if you're new here. Thank you.
[07:17] up and attacking the living. And the government's answer isn't soldiers, it's scientists dissecting the brains of the dead to work out what they saw before the end. That's Loner, Wit Studio's new original for spring 2027, and it's the
[07:30] exact kind of premise that makes me lean toward the screen. What got me properly excited is the team. It's the anime debut script from Akiko Nogi, one of the sharpest live-action drama writers working in Japan. Wit going fully
[07:42] that pedigree behind it, I don't need a plot synopsis to know I'm booking the plot synopsis to know I'm booking the time off.
[08:18] you know Link Click occupies a tender, slightly bruised corner of my heart. So, later this year, split into two parts, left me equal parts thrilled and bracing for impact. For the uninitiated, Cheng Xiaoshi can dive into a photograph and
[08:32] possess whoever took it, while Lu Guang reads the timeline and guides him, and only grown heavier. This season brings Fang back, drags everyone into the Bahati fire case, and introduces a new player, Jay Lee, whose intentions look
[08:45] anything but clean. Studio LAN is back at the helm, which matters a lot after show. I know exactly what it does to people. I'm walking in anyway.
[09:11] This is the one I've been quietly dreaming about for years.
[09:43] teenage brain with parasite has another masterpiece called History and Leiden Films is finally animating it for January 2027. No demons, no powers, no fantasy safety net. It's the truest story of Eumenes, a sharp lowborn
[09:56] become secretary and general to Alexander the Great. Iwaaki apparently first dreamt this story up over 40 years ago and it's collected awards that most manga never get near. For anyone who love the grounded brutal humanity of
[10:09] very top of your radar. My one worry is whether an adaptation can match the quiet intelligence of the page. But the chance to finally watch Iwaaki's ancient world move, I'd happily wait another decade if I had to.
[10:27] back this fall and Studio Trigger has zero interest in letting any of us zero interest in letting any of us recover.
[10:49] this isn't a continuation. It's a fresh standalone 10 episode story, new crew, same merciless Night City. The lineup they've teased is filthy. Wit Kingsley, a washed up legend forced to survive without chrome. D, a Snake Nation
[11:01] netrunner hunting whoever wiped out his clan. A documentarian chasing real stories in a city that stopped telling them. And a corpo kid gone feral. The teaser, scored by Rico Nasty, is the usual trigger barrage of gunfire and
[11:13] glitching cyberware. The detail though that's got me buzzing, Kai Ikarashi who directed the original's best episode is steering the whole thing now. Season 1 rescued an entire video game and walked off with anime of the year. So, no
[11:25] pressure. I'm recklessly irresponsibly excited.
[12:00] broke containment. After nearly 3 years of silence, which studio finally dropped a trailer for the One Piece, a full remake of the East Blue Saga, landing on Netflix in February 2027. Seven episodes, around 300 minutes, the entire
[12:13] the first 50 chapters of the [music] Baratie. The pitch is simple and a little audacious, a modern, faster-paced retelling so newcomers don't have to face a thousand episode mountain. The teaser already served Shanks handing
[12:27] over the straw hat, Zoro's three sword stance, and Luffy clocking someone clean across the water. And Mayumi Tanaka is back voicing Luffy, which got me right actually hand to a friend. After all these years, that idea genuinely moves
[12:41] me. SET SAIL. >> [screaming] ANNOUNCEMENTS WITH the collective power to vaporize whatever free time I had.
[12:54] am I criminally sleeping on? Tell me in the comments. Fight about it amongst when the next wave inevitably wrecks my schedule all over again. Later.
