Over the last decade, it seems like sports anime has scored more points in the anime fandom, quickly rising through the leaderboards and becoming more popular. While tracking how much a fandom "likes" something is difficult through social media, one metric can help show how popular an anime is: box office takings. Two of the latest sports anime films in Japanese theaters, The First Slam Dunk and Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle , have done huge numbers and currently rank as the 13th and 35th highest-grossing films of all time in Japan (not just anime), respectively. While both were already generational-defining series getting long-awaited canon sequels with huge built-in audiences, these are the first sports anime films to pass 10 billion yen in Japanese theaters ever. And that's partially by design. The First Slam Dunk and Haikyu!! The Dumpster Battle both were massively helped by the anime films that preceded their releases. In...

Reminiscent of the outsized Chinese box office success once enjoyed by a certain genre of Hollywood movie – think “Expendables 3,” Pacific Rim” and “Transformers: Age of Extinction” – some Japanese anime films are now earning more in China than they are in their native Japan.
Last year, “Suzume” (pictured above) earned $117 million in China, coming in ahead of the film’s $104 million total in Japan.
And this year, Oscar winner “The Boy and the Heron,” despite its late release in China, enjoyed Middle Kingdom gross revenues of $109 million, dwarfing that of Japan, where the film was received more tepidly and earned only $57 million.
The scale of the China theatrical market has occasionally thrown up other examples of outsized success — in 2016, “Dangal” earned $190 million in China, compared with its already huge $77 million in India; the same year “Bad Genius” earned $41 million in China, compared with its $3.3 million in its native Thailand; Luc Besson...

In a recent interview with Bunshun, Gosho Aoyama revealed that he nearly ended Detective Conan manga due to persistant interference from the editorial department.
This revelation comes on the heels of Aoyama’s recent feature on the Nhk documentary Professional: Shigoto no Ryuugi, which highlighted his creative process.
Aoyama shared that before Detective Conan transitioned to an animated feature film in 1997, he was on the brink of quitting the serialization in Weekly Shonen Sunday.
The intense pressure to come up with new cases weekly and the constant demands from the higher-ups in the editorial department had pushed him to his limits.
“It’s really tough coming up with new cases every week, isn’t it? Plus, the higher-ups in the editorial department were constantly telling me to do this or that, which I really hated. So, I decided to take a break with my assistants and we all went to Las Vegas.

Mayumi Tanaka, the voice actor of Monkey D. Luffy, the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates in One Piece, might have found the perfect replacement who can take over her role as Luffy. Tanaka has been voicing Luffy for almost thirty years, and she has done a great job portraying the character over the years.
Luffy in One Piece
However, as she is getting old and the series is still a little far away from the conclusion, the creators might have to find someone else who could do justice to the character of Luffy. This has also become a major concern for Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece. Oda never imagined that the series would go on for so long.
In an interview, Oda talked about how Masako Nozawa, the character who voiced Dr. Kureha in One Piece, offered to take Tanaka’s role as Luffy’s voice actor in One Piece.

Eiichiro Oda has introduced a lot of characters in One Piece, but according to fans, the cutest character among them is Tony Tony Chopper, the doctor of the Straw Hat Pirates. Chopper first appeared during the Drum Island arc, and the backstory of the character melted the hearts of every One Piece fan.
Tony Tony Chopper – Before The Time Skip
The major credit for Chopper’s cuteness goes to Ikue Ootani, the voice actor for the character. Ootani is known for playing Pikachu in Pokémon, Konohamaru in Naruto, and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya in Detective Conan. Ootani’s voice is one of the cutest voices in the anime industry, and her roles certainly reflect that.

The Dragon Ball franchise has not only left a huge impact on generations of children, teens and young adults, but also on the manga industry. So, after the original Dragon Ball manga concluded in 1995, a huge vacuum was created in its place.
While many wanted to take advantage of it and further their own manga, very few could actually survive in the market. The same is true for Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece. In an interview with Weekly Shonen Jump, the mangaka opened up about the intense competition that occurred in the aftermath of Dragon Ball‘s conclusion.

One Piece has been trending since the beginning of Monkey D. Luffy vs. Rob Lucci on the Egghead Island. Even though there are several anime that are pretty good and competing for first place, One Piece has made the first position its stronghold. Thousands of readers prefer One Piece over other manga, and Eiichiro Oda has worked hard to achieve that level of popularity.
But it was not always like this. Before the rivalry of the Big Three of anime, Eiichiro Oda was hell-bent on surpassing a certain manga on the Weekly Shounen Jump. It always used to come up on top, and at one point, Oda sensei became desperate. The manga that challenged One Piece was none other than Detective Conan, which is still going on.

Refresh for latest…: As it crossed the $1B international box office milestone this past weekend, Warner Bros again owned the frame with Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire and its third session haul of $33.7M from 71 markets. That was good for a 47% drop from the previous weekend and lifts the overseas cume to $278.6M and global to $436.6M. Meanwhile, WB and Legendary’s other major title in the marketplace, Dune: Part Two, now has a shot at getting to $700M worldwide.
While 2024 may end up down on 2023, coming out of last week’s CinemaCon exhibition conference, it’s not all doom and gloom — something we heard in a refrain — as several titles continue to post solid numbers.

Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece world has witnessed a lot of shocking events, but none of them compared to the Gear 5 mode, which was introduced in the Wano arc. The way that fans perceived Luffy and his powers was entirely altered by this transformation, which he accomplished during his battle with Kaido.
One Piece – Gear 5 Luffy
After gaining the ability to unlock Gear 5, Luffy transformed the anime series by ultimately defeating Kaido, an adversary he had been battling for three and a half years. Gear 5 opens up a whole new universe of opportunities for Luffy and is by far his most famous and distinctive transformation yet.
It gives a humorous touch to his bouts and completely fits with his persona. The transformation was first introduced in the manga series chapter 1044, which was released on March 28, 2022. The manga chapter became the most-read chapter ever, making history in the process. But Oda...

The series, which airs on Nhk, follows professionals in many different lines of work. Beekeepers, surgeons, and poets have all been featured in the past.

Each year, the latest Detective Conan/Case Closed anime film makes more and more at the Japanese box office, passing 13 billion yen with last year’s feature – making it one of the year's biggest films. This year’s Detective Conan film, The Million-Dollar Pentagram , will be the widest release of all time in Japan, being shown in 515 theaters nationwide. To put the number in perspective, according to a report by the Japan Community Cinema Center, there were 590 theaters in Japan in 2022, including multiplexes and independent theaters, and that number is decreasing by the year. Godzilla Minus One was one of the widest releases of all time when it came out last November with 500 theaters. The official website also revealed that included in that count are premium formats, of which Detective Conan : The Million-Dollar Pentagram will release in day and date alongside regular screens on April 12.

Lunar New Year is a key box office period in several Asian territories, but nowhere was it more hotly contested this year than in Vietnam, where several local, Japanese and Hollywood movies were slugging it over the week-long holidays (February 9-15).
Tran Thanh’s Mai, a romantic drama that delves into the psychology of its female protagonist, was the clear winner — at the time of writing it was topping the box office with a haul of VND400BN ($16.4M). Produced by Tran Thanh Town and Cj Hk Entertainment, a joint venture between Korea’s Cj Enm and local outfit HKFilm, the film has the potential to break the record set by Tran Thanh’s own The House of No Man, released this time last year, which is Vietnam’s highest ever grossing film with VND476BN ($19.4m).

It is not an uncommon sight to see how Mangakas often take inspiration from other franchises while working on their own projects. Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, is one such mangaka who has even gone to the lengths to reveal from where he took the reference for the latest Luffy’s power transformation.
Luffy Gear 5 was something that many had been waiting for years, and we finally got to see it in One Piece chapter 1044, followed by an animated adaptation last year. There are some obvious references in these particular chapters and episodes taken from one of the most iconic and legendary cartoon shows ever.
