We highly recommend watching it on a big TV screen for the best viewing experience.”

Recently a deal was finalized between Bigwest and Harmony Gold to release numerous Macross anime and merchandise outside of Japan. Macross has an expansive universe of series and movies that have yet to be released in English, so this is very exciting news!

Super Dimension Fortress Macross Flash Back 2012 was an OVA made in 1987 to commorate the 5 year anniversary of the original Macross franchise. It features a compilation of 10 songs from the original series and movie. You can currently watch it for free on Youtube on the official Macross Channel. This version is in Japanese.

Mayumi Dojima, a second-year student at the exclusive Yubiwa Academy middle school, has lost something—a star she glimpsed just once, ten long years ago. But help is on the way, in the form of the unofficial, secretive, and thoroughly mysterious Pretty Boy Detective Club! Rumored to solve problems within the school (most of which they themselves might as well created) for reasons aesthetic rather than financial, these five gorgeous boys sweep Mayumi into their world of excitement, danger, and overwhelming beauty.

Pretty Boy Detective Club (Bishounen Tanteidan) is based on a novel of the same name. The anime starts April 2021, you can watch the trailer below!

Unfortunately the current work in progress for the Tokyo Babylon 2021 anime project has scrapped over multiple accounts of plagiarism.

The issues first arose when Character Design Art was posted online and fans pointed out that costume designs for two characters had been copied from other sources with very little changes. The designs in question were taken from a 2017 Volks Doll and a photo of Yeri from K-pop group Red Velvet then applied to Hokuto and Subaru Sumeragi. However other instances were found by the production team upon investigation, putting the whole project in jeopardy.

The series was supposed to begin in April 2021 but has now been delayed as production work will have to be restarted from scratch to avoid any copyright infringement.

Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai Love Comedy or Osamake for short, starts this April for the 2020 Spring Season of anime and will be streaming on Crunchyroll.

My childhood friend Shida Kuroha seems to have feelings for me. She lives next door, and is small and cute. With an outgoing character, she’s the caring Onee-san type, this being one of her greatest strengths.

…But, I already have my first love, the beautiful idol of our school, and the award-winning author, Kachi Shirokusa! Thinking about it rationally, I should have no chances with her, but, while walking home from school, she only talks to me, with a smile even! I might actually have a chance, don’t you think?!

Or so I thought, but then I heard that Shirokusa already has a boyfriend, and my life took a turn for the worse. I want to die. Why is it not me?! Even though she was my first love… As I was drowning in despair and depression, Kuroha whispered.

—If it’s that tough for you, then how about we get revenge? The best revenge ever, that is~
