The date is only tentative because we need final confirmation of dates from cinema chains, and from experience that can change as other film date's shift or films consume more screening slots than initially anticipated. Last thing I wanted to do at MCM is shout "THIS IS THE DATE" and then have...

Just wanted to drop a note here that I've seen people's concerns/issues with this one, so I've raised it internally for us to look into what we can do here. No promises, but I wanted to acknowledge that we're aware and investigating! There was always supposed to be a relatively subtle effect of...

Did we.... not confirm that at MCM Comic Con? I know I have MCM fever dreams (and stress dreams), but I'm sure that one actually happened....

If we're talking about BLEACH, it's a Friday/Saturday release. More broadly, cinema chains do insist on showing non-anime films too - rumour has it that some of them even generate higher attendances than anime, especially at weekends! Unthinkable I know, but this is the scurrilous chatter we...

Always ask, and always expect!

That's right - aiming to get back to it in October most likely. Opted not to have an industry panel this time around because: a. We're being haranged constantly about previous announcements we haven't released yet so it feels like a good time to focus on those b. Boring internal admin stuff as...

That's a Crunchyroll title as far as I recall.

Aaaand here it is! https://blog.alltheanime.com/newswire-may-2026/

Well, it is Newswire time in (checks watch) 50 minutes...
