Mecha films, featuring a protagonist operating (usually piloting) a large robotic vehicle that's often humanoid in shape, are a far more prolific sub-genre in anime than in live-action features. Although the nature and details of the mechs vary wildly, mecha (a Japanese term derived from the English word 'mechanism') populate such esteemed series like the Gundam franchise, Neon Genesis Evangelion, or Knights of Sidonia, each series spinning off a simple premise: there's a powerful enemy, and we need to drive powerful robots to fight it. Live-action mecha features like Guillermo del Toro's epic Pacific Rim and its sequel are rarer (surely in part due to the traditionally high cost to really land a live-action mecha film that actually looks good), but if Rich Ho's Heavens: The Boy and His Robot is any indication, we're likely to see more in the future.

Kodansha had a bunch of manga licenses to reveal during its Anime Expo 2024 panel, including print releases planned for spring 2025 digital releases right around the corner throughout July. Among the print licenses are Dead Rock from Fairy Tail creator Hiro Mashima, Tower Dungeon from Knights of Sidonia author Tsutomu Nihei and more. Here's the full list, starting with spring 2025 print releases: Kodansha Spring 2025 Print Licenses Dead Rock by Hiro Mashima Synopsis: Welcome to Dead Rock, the underworld’s top educational institution! A spot at this training facility for demonic mischief is all the young demon Yakuto has ever wanted, but in Hell, there’s no such thing as an easy A. Plenty of Yakuto’s fellow prospects won’t survive the entrance exam, and even fewer will make it to graduation. So why bother? The prize, for those who survive this death game through perdition, is the world, in the palm of their hand!

We are currently in the midst of an international Kaiju renaissance of sorts. Godzilla Minus One won an Academy Award for its visual effects and was a hit across the globe. Meanwhile, Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire was number one in the American box office for a second week in a row. And though he’s certainly “King of the Monsters,” Godzilla isn’t the only giant creature to get the spotlight. With the release of the Kaiju No. 8 anime, based off the wonderful manga by Naoya Matsumoto, the audience for stories of mysterious gargantuan creatures will grow even wider. But even if they don’t necessarily fit into the Kaiju Eiga (monster movie) subgenre of science fiction, the potency of the Kaiju has been explored in anime over and over again. There is a power to the idea of a mammoth monster with god-like strength, one that often...

Chainsaw Man creator Tatsuki Fujimoto has revealed his newest manga recommendation on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

Posted under his social media alias of Nagayama Koharu, Fujimoto gave his brief thoughts on a new manga series he's been reading. "Tower Dungeon was fun, so I recommend it," Fujimoto said. Tower Dungeon is a manga written and illustrated by Tsutomu Nihei, the Japanese manga artist behind Blame!, Wolverine: Snikt! and Knights of Sidonia.

Tower Dungeon by Tsutomu Nihei is recommended by Chainsaw Man's Tatsuki Fujimoto and Dandadan's Yukinobu Tatsunoko.Hidden gem alert. Fujimoto and Tatsu are excited about Nihei's new fantasy series, describing it as fun read with beautiful art. With art by one of the industry's best, the fantasy setting combined with action premise could see Nihei creating even more stunning landscapes.

The creators of Chainsaw Man and Dandadan, two of Shōnen Jump's biggest manga, have recommended Tsutomu Nihei's newest series, Tower Dungeon. The legendary artist behind Blame!, who also authored the acclaimed manga Wolverine: Snikt!, has built up a reputation for making hits, and his latest work has already caught the eye of the industry's best.

Tatsuki Fujimoto, the brilliant author of Fire Punch, Look Back, and Chainsaw Man, took to Twitter/X to share his opinions on Nihei's new fantasy series, and he recommended it to his huge 700K audience.

Cristina Vee, a prominent American voice actress known for her roles in anime series like Konosuba and Hunter x Hunter, has permanently deleted her Twitter account following online harassment. The incident stemmed from a false accusation labeling her as a “Zionist,” which sparked a wave of online abuse.

The harassment began after Vee was included in a list of purported “Zionist” voice actors, compiled and posted by a user identified as @WhereIsmeCake. This quickly gained traction online, leading to targeted harassment directed at Vee, including hateful messages, escalating to death threats and online harassment campaigns.

Despite the user retracting Vee’s name from the list and issuing an apology acknowledging the mistake, the damage had already been done.

There are many great mecha anime, as it is one of the oldest subgenres in anime, but its history also means that there is a great variety within the subgenre. As might be obvious, many of these are nowhere near scientifically accurate, but they don't let realism get in the way of telling a good story.

These anime take their mecha action to the next level, dwarfing everything else in their scale or incorporating magical or mystical superpowers. From wars against alien empires to giant combining robots, these anime might not be the most realistic, but they are most certainly excellent.

Tsutomi Nihei, the author of two iconic sci-fi manga, Blame! and Knights of Sidonia, is going to apply his talents to fantasy with a new manga that will be published by Kodansha in the Monthly Comic Sirius magazine. Tsutomu Nihei has gained a cult following for his cyberpunk-inspired aesthetics that shone in the hit manga Blame! in 1997 and then in Knights of Sidonia in 2009.

With Shueisha's Shonen Jump releasing new manga to replace its most popular ones like One Piece and Jujutsu Kaisen, Kodansha has to follow suit if it still wants to retain its the spot as Shueisha's biggest competitor. The company will start publishing a new fantasy manga, Tower Dungeon, that seems very promising, and it will be written and drawn by none other than Tsutomu Nihei. Coming off two award-winning sci-fi manga, Nihei is ready to change genre and hopefully take the industry by storm for the third time.

Space operas are a subgenre of science fiction dedicated to galaxy-wide adventures through the cosmos brimming with drama, action, and risky conflict. There's hardly a more influential and well-known example of this beloved genre than Star Wars, a revolutionary sci-fi franchise that changed the entertainment landscape forever. Yet, few know that Star Wars has a direct tie to Japanese culture, with George Lucas taking inspiration for his iconic trilogy from Edo-period history and samurai movies, namely Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress.

The influence goes both ways, as countless sci-fi anime clearly took a page out of Star Wars' book. Even if not directly inspired by Star Wars, many sci-fi anime series bear a strong resemblance to the genre's timeless classic, be it in themes, setting, plot structure, or general adventurous atmosphere. These science fiction anime are perfect for Star Wars fans looking for new content that captures the magic of exploring outer space.

Viz has rereleased the Wolverine: Snikt! manga by Tsutomu Nihei, bringing an unorthodox X-Men story back for new readers. Originally published in 2003, the series blends classic sci-fi plot points with a narrative that centers on the iconic X-Men member's abilities and physical structure. While not the usual comic fare from many perspectives, its unique characteristics make it a fascinating and compelling read.

Wolverine: Snikt! was published under Marvel's old Tsunami imprint, which aimed to produce manga-like comics to expand the company's reader base. It was previously a five-issue limited series, which has now been licensed and collected with a foreword by Nick Dragotta. Wolverine: Snikt! has the creative team of Tsutomu Nihei, Guru-eFX, and Cory Petit.

When Japanese manga-ka Hajime Isayama first wrote and illustrated "Attack on Titan" for serialized monthly publication in Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine, he had no idea that it would go on to become an international mega-hit. Basing the manga storyline on a one-shot prototype he had written when he was 19, Isayama spent years fleshing out the dangerous, combat-prone world of "Attack on Titan," where massive, man-eating beasts named Titans terrorize and devour humans. Isayama took inspiration for these giant humanoid antagonists from various sources — some aspects were a natural evolution of his pre-school sketches, while others were inspired by contemporary serialized manga, including Tsutomu Nihei's "Knights of Sidonia." However, in a 2014 interview with culture magazine Brutus, Isayama clarified that his Titans were based on Mma-themed magazines, along with several real-life WWE and UFC fighters, and mixed-martial artists.

As Isayama's Titans stand out due to their massive, rugged appearance and enhanced physicality,...

Exclusive: Funimation, which last year released the anime movie Demon Slayer: Mugen Train to great success at the global box office, has zeroed in on its next adventure. The company has set a September 13 release date for Knights of Sidonia: Love Woven in the Stars, the sci-fi anime space thriller based on the manga from Tsutomu Nihei.

In addition, Funimation has acquired TV rights to Netflix’s Knights of Sidonia anime series, and will begin streaming Season 1 and Season 2 beginning August 3 on its platform in the U.S., Canada, the UK and Ireland.

Based on the first manga by Tsutomi Nihei, of “Knights of Sidonia” fame, “Blame!” is a CGI anime, in the visual style that Netflix seems to promote intensely at the moment.

The story takes place in the distant future, where an infection has caused the automated systems humanity created to spiral out of control, resulting in a multi-leveled structure that keeps expanding itself in all directions, and a number of robots called Safeguards hunting down the remaining humans, under orders from the defense system of the machine. In one of the corners of the city, a group of humans, self-named Electro-Fishers, are struggling to survive in the middle of Safeguards and the lack of food. As the story begins, a girl named Zuru and her young friends, in an effort to help the struggling grown-ups go on a search for food on their own. Their “trip” however,...

Misa from “Death Note,” Saitama from “One-Punch Man,” and Code:002 from “Darling in the Franxx” walk into a convention center. It’s the set-up to what could be a pretty good joke. Like the rabbi, priest, and monk, these are religious figures in their own right—anime heroes, favorite deities of a subcultural movement known as cosplay.

By many metrics—not simply the more-than 100,000 attendees to Anime Expo in Downtown Los Angeles this month—cosplay, and its guiding form of media, anime, have been undergoing a resurgence in the past few years. Consumed in the 1990s and early 2000s mainly by Japanese teens, and their worldwide counterparts known colloquially as weebs, anime is now a significant programming genre for streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, not to mention the anime-only services Crunchyroll, Viewster, and Funimation.

Netflix has released the final trailer for the upcoming anime feature, Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters, a little more than a week before the movie debuts on the streaming service. The movie already premiered in Japan and it's the first animated Godzilla movie in the history of the franchise, so it's kind of a big deal. Set to the theme song "White Out" by J-pop singer Xai, the trailer is an intense explosion of sound, color, and a lot of explosions. You can watch Godzilla: Planet of Monsters starting January 17th exclusively through Netflix. Interesting note though, Netflix currently has this marked as Part One. So, are they saving the second half of the movie for a later date?

The new trailer boasts the largest Godzilla that mankind has ever had to face. Set 20,000 years from now, Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters centers on the premise that humans were forced...

Back in January, fans got their first look at Toho's first ever Godzilla anime movie, which is slated for release in Japan later this year. Earlier this month, Netflix picked up the streaming rights to this movie, which will be released theatrically in Japan before debuting worldwide on the popular streaming service. Today we have a new poster for this highly-anticipated anime movie, which doesn't give us a glimpse at Godzilla himself, but we do get to to see this futuristic world. We also have new concept art and the official synopsis.

The last summer of the 20th century. On that day, the human race realized that they were not the only ruler of the planet earth. The emergence of gigantic monsters "kaiju" and the ultimate existence that even can destroy the kaijus, Godzilla. After half-century of the war against the kaijus, the human race repeatedly defeated and decided to escape from the earth.

Back in August, Japan’s Toho film studio realized that it had somehow never created a Godzilla anime, and immediately went to work righting that wrong. We still don’t know much of anything about the project other than that it does seem to be a movie and not a TV show, but now ScreenRant is reporting that Netflix has picked up the film’s international distribution rights. The Godzilla anime will get an initial theatrical run in Japan—presumably so it can sweep the Japanese Academy Prize’s annual award ceremony—and then it will be heading to Netflix subscribers worldwide.

The film is coming from anime studio Polygon Pictures, which tends to specialize in CG-based stuff like Knights Of Sidonia, one of Netflix’s previous forays into the world of anime. The initial announcement also came with some very sci-fi-looking concept art, which you can see below. Based...

In recent years, monster fans have heard the mighty roar of the radioactive reptile, and the King of the Monsters shows no signs of slowing down, as Netflix and Toho are now teaming up for a new anime Godzilla project.

The Godzilla anime will be released globally on Netflix after a Japanese theatrical release via Toho. An exact release date and trailer have not yet been revealed, but you can check out concept art from the anime below, via the official site.

Press Release: Tokyo, Japan 13 March 2017 - Netflix, the world’s leading Internet television network, today announced an exciting addition to its slate, an original Japanese animation based on the Godzilla character, which will have its exclusive premiere on Netflix worldwide following a Toho theatrical release in Japan.

The first-ever high quality animation of the iconic global monster franchise is set to offer an epic re-imagining of the Godzilla world of the future.

Studio Ghibli has a long history with Swedish author Astrid Lingren. Way back in the 70s, Ghibli co-founders Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata attempted to stage an adaptation of Lingren's Pippi Longstocking books, and even travelled to Sweden to try to convince the author to sell them the rights. Lingren turned the animators down - understandable, given their relative lack of fame at the time - and a clutch of story boards and concept sketches are all that remain of the abandoned project.

Japan's most famous kaiju is to get an animated feature film, as Toho announces the "big-scale" Godzilla...

Godzilla may have passed his 60th birthday, but the city-levelling creature still holds as much fascination as he ever did. Gareth Edwards' Us Godzilla film marked the kaiju's anniversary back in 2014, while this year's Shin Godzilla was a huge hit in Japan in June. The Japanese studio that created Godzilla (or Gojira, as he's known in the far east) isn't stopping with that hit, either.

According to Variety, Toho is in the process of making an animated movie, simply called Godzilla, which it describes as a "big-scale" feature film - a contrast from the fondly-remembered but goofy TV series co-created by Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s. Animation will be handled by Tokyo's Polygon Pictures, the studio behind such things as Ghost In The Shell 2: Innocence and Transformers Prime. As such,...

Toho, the Japanese production company behind Godzilla, has announced that they will be developing the first feature-length anime Godzilla movie with Polygon Pictures! The movie is currently just called Godzilla, and it's scheduled to be released in 2017.

The film is being co-directed by Kobun Shizuno (Detective Conan series) and Hiroyuki Seshita (Knights of Sidonia). The script for the film is being written by Gen Urobuchi, who is a popular writer of graphic novels, light novels, and anime scripts. One of his most recent credits includes the 2015 feature animation film Psycho-Pass: The Movie. Shizuno offered up the following brief statement:

“We’re aiming to make a big-scale animation entertainment that people who love Godzilla and people who know nothing about him can both enjoy."

There's no information on what the story will entail, but we have the image above that comes from the official website. It looks like a sci-fi...

A nice addition to the sci-fi/mecha action genre, “Knights of Sidonia” stands apart from the plethora of similar titles for a number of reasons, both technical and in terms of script and general presentation.

The year is 3994, when the Earth has already been destroyed by a race of aliens called Gauna. Sidonia is one of the ships that has managed to escape the destruction along with a population of 500,000 people. Due to the lack of resources, the people inside have turned to cloning, asexual reproduction and genetic engineering that allows them to photosynthesize, in order to survive in deep space. The Gauna however, are still hunting them, and thus,...

Netflix has teamed up with the animation studio who brought us Attack on Titan and Ghost in the Shell, Production I.G., to develop an original anime series called Perfect Bones.

The 12-episode series is being directed by Kazuto Nakazawa. According to the press release, the story is "set in the future where scientists have tried to create the ‘perfect human’ in hopes of keeping peace in the universe. After nearly achieving their goal through several children, the scientists send their ‘new humans’ for further training where they are kidnapped by an evil organization set on using their powers to implement their own concept of a new world order.”

That definitely sounds like a great concept for an anime series, and I'm completely on board with it. This has the makings of something awesomely epic. Erik Barmack, vice president, international originals, said in a statement:

“We are incredibly excited to work with Production I.

(Someone, really, really, Really liked this series!) When Us distributor Sentai Filmworks gets the urge to go to town on their releases, they go full throttle apparently. When I posted pictures earlier this year of their lavish Knights of Sidonia release, in several forums I got the reply: "Very good set, but have you seen their release of Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions?" Ehm... no? The series itself wasn't high on my radar so it kind of slipped past me. And then yet again someone recently told me "Sidonia was great, second-best anime set of the year after Chunibyo!"

When tragedy strikes, Billy hits rock bottom and finds a savior in Forest Whitaker's Tick Willis, a former fighter who trains the toughest amateur boxers.

Jason Bateman and Rebecca Hall play a young couple whose world is turned upside down after a run-in with an old high school acquaintance (Joel Edgerton) in this critically acclaimed psychological thriller, out on Blu-ray, DVD,...

Us-based anime distributor Section 23 Films has a reputation for special limited editions which are pricey yet properly pimped. However, the "pricey" part can often been dodged somewhat by waiting a couple of months. This is always tricky of course with Limited Editions, as when they're gone, they're...well, gone. Meaning good luck trying to buy one for a decent price. Guess lucky though, and if the sets are still available you can often get them for half the original price. And this is exactly what happened with Section 23 Films' release of the first season of Knights of Sidonia, the science fiction anime based on Nihei Tsutomu's manga, in which humans survive in space on chunks of rock after the Earth has been blown up...

Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart team up in this comedy about a rich hedge-fund manager who is sentenced to San Quentin; desperate for tips on how to survive prison, he looks for help from a black businessman, assuming he'll know what to do. That's not racist at all! As it turns out, Hart's businessman has never even had a parking ticket, so it's the blind leading the blind.

You've heard of Breaking Bad, Orange Is The New Black & House Of Cards, what about Danger 5, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, Darknet and more?…

Quite understandably, column inches can't fill up quickly enough with praise for the likes of Netflix original series House Of Cards, Orange Is The New Black, Breaking Bad spin-off Better Call Saul and Marvel's Daredevil. What though, about some of the lesser-known series available on the UK streaming site?

Sweeping past the well-publicised riches of Doctor Who, Sherlock, Arrested Development, Community and the like, we've ventured into the slightly dustier shelf of TV shows available on Netflix UK that may be lesser-known or less widely celebrated than the big hitters out there, but are still richly deserving of your time. Some are new, some are old, some were cancelled long ago, some are ongoing, several are from outside the UK and Us.
