- Start date
Given that the reception to the last game seemed kind of medium, I'm a little bemused to see them doing a Shenmue anime now (perhaps the deal was already done before the game came out, as with Trigger's Cyberpunk 2077 series), but it looks very promising - I'm pleasantly surprised.

It certainly looks like they've nailed the action. I wonder if they'll try to replicate the quieter, more ambient side of Shenmue too or if they'll just motor through the plot. Also: forklift grand prix episode when?
To be honest, I’ll be disappointed if there isn’t a full episode given over to having Ryo just systematically opening all the drawers and cupboards in his house.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Planet With was based on/written by Satoshi Mizukami as well right? Need to see that one too. In all honesty I have never actually read Lucifer and Biscuit Hammer but I'm still really psyched for this cuz I've heard so many good things about the manga

yes he wrote Planet With! I have all the L&BH manga volumes, most of which are very pricey these days, so now I'm starting to have those awful "maybe I should sell these before they get reprinted" thoughts.

Fingers crossed it'll be showing in my area, have had no screenings for Sing a Bit of Harmony or Belle unfortunately but MHA Movie 3, DBS Broly, SAO and Demon Slayer showed so JJK0 has a good chance I think.

Looks like key animation for Hayao Miyazaki's next film, How Do You Live?, will be completed in February. I imagine Covid must've sped up production. 2023/2024 release might be plausible, as Suzuki said it was "at least three years away" in early 2021.
The dub for Requiem of the Rose King has been announced: the intersex Richard III will be voiced by non-binary English VA Ciarán Strange.

No surprise there. The category is pretty much designed to keep animated films out of the best picture category and is essentially a free oscar for Disney, they've won the oscar 15 times out of 20 between Pixar, Disney and the Disney distributed Spirited Away.
