Posted on by Category:News Leave a comment

Hey there, Novachrono welcomes you to the May edition of the AniWe Newsletter! Who’s ready to experience May Mayhem? 

As we step into the blooming month of May, we have an exciting Cascade of events, news, and updates for all anime and gaming enthusiasts.

April Awesomeness Recap

  1. AKAT April: New Challengers Rise and Trivia Champions Clash!

AKAT in April was an action-packed month of anime trivia! Familiar faces battled it out for trivia glory while some new heroes (maybe a villain or two) emerged from the shadows to challenge the established champions.

  • Death Note: Newcomer Takes the Notebook!

Light Yagami (assuming it wasn’t Ryuk controlling someone’s account) must be sweating! A new challenger named KayyaRT seized the Death Note this month, showing mastery of the rules and the power to control trivia destinies. Watch out, L, there’s a new detective in town with a perfect score! Izzy and Kukuruku had a good fight, but their names weren’t written in the trivia notebook this time.

  • Vinland Saga: Deen Maintains his Viking Rule!

Move over, Thorfinn! Deen claimed the throne once again in Vinland Saga, crushing the competition with the ferocity of a Viking warrior. Kayy, a first-time podium finisher, proved their knowledge is as sharp as an axe and landed a solid second place. Kukuruku maintained her podium streak with a third-place finish, showing that consistency is a valuable weapon in the trivia arena.

  • My Hero Academia: Shot By Chuka Goes Full Detroit Smash!

Plus Ultra! Shot By Chuka went full Detroit Smash on the competition this month, leaving everyone else in the dust. Looks like his aim is just as good with trivia questions as it is with a sniper rifle. Al-Might, a newcomer, showed he still has some hero spirit and snagged a respectable second place. Izzy channelled her inner Deku to secure third place.

  • Bleach: A New Soul Reaper Takes the Stage!

We had a change of guard in Soul Society! Yato TV emerged victorious, pushing familiar faces like Wrath and Insanoflex (a first-time podium finisher!) down to second and third place, respectively. Looks like the tides are turning in the Bleach trivia universe!

  • Jujutsu Kaisen: Newcomer Upsets Shot By Chuka!

The world of Jujutsu Kaisen witnessed a shocking upset! Mikun, a first-time podium contender, dominated the competition with an impressive score. Shot By Chuka, who usually reigns supreme, couldn’t keep up with the new kid on the block. IzzyTheOne secured a well-deserved third place.

  • Naruto Shippuden: IzzyTheOne Claims the Hokage Hat!

There’s a new Hokage in town! IzzyTheOne rose to the top of the Naruto Shippuden leaderboard, amassing a massive point total. After a string of third-place finishes, Kukuruku upgraded to second place, answering the most questions but falling short on speed. Yato TV followed closely behind in third place.

  • Demon Slayer: IzzyTheOne Continues Reign of Terror!

Looks like there’s no stopping IzzyTheOne this month! She dominated Demon Slayer as well, answering many questions correctly. Voldemort (hopefully not the real one) came in second, proving that even dark wizards can appreciate some trivia fun. Nezuko rounded out the top three with a strong showing.

  • One Piece: IzzyTheOne Maintains One Piece Lead!

IzzyTheOne’s dominance continued in One Piece, securing first place again and demonstrating a deep understanding of the world and its characters. King Jaybee and Renee fought well, taking second and third place, respectively.

  • IzzyTheOne: The Undisputed Trivia Champion?

It’s worth noting that IzzyTheOne was a force to be reckoned with throughout April, landing an impressive six out of seven on the podium, even claiming first place in three competitions! With this consistency, IzzyTheOne is a trivia champion to watch out for in the coming months. 

Stay tuned for more exciting AKAT battles and see if IzzyTheOne can maintain their reign or if new challengers will rise to the trivia throne!

AniWe Update: A STEP INTO THE TIME REALM – WELCOME TO OUR THREE-FOLD ACTIVITY UPDATE

Posted on by Category:News Leave a comment

If you’re receiving this, you mean a lot to us, and we would like to keep you updated on our activities. Today, AniWe Novachrono reveals his superpower as he takes us through the Past, the Present, and the Possible Future.

Remember, there’s no going back once you enter the time realm. This is your last chance to reconsider.

THE PAST – FEBRUARY

1. AKAT: AniWe’s Kahoot Anime Trivia (A Battle Royale of Brains!)

In February and March, the AniWe Community felt bubbly, so we held AKAT sessions for Hunter-X-Hunter (HxH), Attack on Titan (AoT), Naruto, Demon Slayer, One Punch Man, Jujutsu Kaisen (JJK), Bleach, FullMetal Alchemist (FMA) Naruto Shippuden, Dragon Ball Z. It was a frenzy; the update of the winners is in the GIF below.

Calling all anime fanatics! Buckle up because the AniWe Kahoot Anime Trivia (AKAT) went down like a super saiyan brawl this month! We saw legendary comebacks, shocking upsets, and rivalries that would make even Naruto and Sasuke blush.

  • Hunter X Hunter (HxH): A the_Sahmmy Surprise!
This month’s HxH showdown was a nail-biter! The_sahmmy emerged victorious, proving that even stay-at-home parents can be anime trivia champions.  (Cue dramatic music) But wait! There’s more! Dammielarey snagged second place, leaving Zoro’s wife (whoever she is!) to settle for third. Dharmora and Aphrodite rounded out the top 5, but let’s be honest; they were probably too busy simping over Killua to focus on the trivia.
  • Attack on Titan (AoT): Deen Crushes the Competition (Literally)
Deen absolutely obliterated the competition in AoT!  (Imagine a colossal titan breaking the wall)  Bloodline X and Manx could only watch in awe as Deen claimed the top spot, followed by Bloodline X and Manx. The Blacksmith and Your Boss brought up the rear, but hey, at least they participated, right?

2. Debate Dojo

Two topics were discussed in February:

  • “Which Anime World would You like Most Like to Live In?”
  • “Can You be a True Anime Fan If You Haven’t see the Classics?”

During the first discussion, we quickly learned that while most of the community loves the heroes who sacrifice everything for their loved ones in our favorite anime, many members of the AniWe community want to live a soft life and only want fun-filled worlds like Food Wars. For obvious reasons, no one wanted anything to do with the Attack on Titan or Demon Slayer universes.

The co-hosts had similar choices: 

  • Sayo (burningCrixus) —– Pokemon Trainer in the Pokemon Universe,
  • Ife —– Food Wars universe.

The Gatekeepers brought out their Shinobi katanas for the second discussion, only for us to realize many hadn’t watched all the anime considered classics. At AniWe, we are all about partying with all shades of anime lovers, so if you have seen at least two anime (including a classic), we consider you a fan and a friend.

3. Trivia

In February, our Trivia winners were:

  • @tonydatjoker with a whooping 14 points —- Won a pack of stickers, a poster, and an AniWe T-shirt 
  • 1st runner-up is @akamnonumikaelson, with 10 points —- Won a pack of stickers, a poster, and a choice necklace.
  • 2nd runner-up is @saiki_big_simp with 9 points —- Won a pack of stickers and a poster.

THE PAST – MARCH MADNESS

1. AKAT: AniWe’s Kahoot Anime Trivia

  • Naruto and Naruto Shippuden: A Tale of Two Deens
Naruto saw a surprising upset! Manx, the previous underdog, clawed his way to the top this time around. Deen, dethroned but not defeated, secured a respectable second place. The Blacksmith continued his impressive streak with a solid third, while Bloodline and Your Boss (is this a duo or something?) took fourth and fifth.



Naruto Shippuden, however, witnessed Deen’s glorious return! He reclaimed his throne, leaving Shot By Chuka (did he run out of bullets?) in second place. The7thhohake emerged from the shadows to snag third, pushing Renee and Kahoota down to fourth and fifth.
  • Demon Slayer: A Bloody Good Showing!
This month’s Demon Slayer battle was a close call! Shot By Chuka unleashed her inner demon slayer, answering a whopping 84% of the questions correctly to take first place. HeralDKing followed closely behind with 76%, proving they’re a formidable opponent. Sasuke Babadens wasn’t too far behind at 70%, but Bloodline and Kdp3ng trailed slightly.
  • One-Punch Man: HeralDKing Punches Back to the Top!
The tables turned in One-Punch Man! HeralDKing, dethroned in Demon Slayer, rose like a phoenix to claim the top spot with 84% accuracy. The_sahmmy and Kdp3ng tied for second with 78% each, but Kdp3ng was a hair slower on the buzzer. Bloodline held onto fourth, while Shot By Chuka, who dominated Demon Slayer, fell to a surprising fifth.
  • Bleach and Jujutsu Kaisen (JJK): Kings and Queens Toppled!

Bleach saw a new king rise! King Jegz, with his vast knowledge of Soul Reapers and Zanpakuto, dominated the competition. HeralDKing, used to wearing the crown, had to settle for second place. But wait, there’s more! Saiki, the psychic wonder child, defied expectations and snatched third place, leaving the previous King Jegz, fuming in fourth. Halley and Dammielarey rounded out the top 5.
JJK, however, witnessed Saiki’s ultimate triumph! Upgrading from Bleach’s third place, Saiki secured the top spot in JJK. Archieizzy surprised everyone with a strong second-place finish. But the real shocker was Shot By Chuka emerging from the shadows to claim third! King Jegz, dethroned once again, fell to fourth, with Halley at fifth. Interestingly, HeralDKing, who was a top contender in Bleach, fell all the way to sixth in JJK. Seems his reign of terror is finally over!
  • Fullmetal Alchemist (FMA): HeralDKing Reclaims the Mantle!
FMA saw HeralDKing rise from the ashes, much like Edward Elric! He dominated the competition with his knowledge of alchemy, taking first place. Lvrdfrancis followed closely behind with a well-deserved second. Archieizzy, continuing his impressive streak, secured third place. DonDaDa and Dharmora brought up the rear, but hey, at least they know who the Fullmetal Alchemist is now, right?
  • Dragon Ball Z: Shot By Chuka Goes Super Saiyan!
Our final battle, a tribute to the legendary Akira Toriyama, was a Dragon Ball Z extravaganza! Shot By Chuka,

2. Debate Dojo:

The Debate Rages On! Last month’s Debate Dojo was on fire. On March 2nd, the community explored the impact of fan service on anime quality. Later, on March 23rd, a fierce debate compared the powers of Madara Uchiha and Ryomen Sukuna. Team “Fan Service Detracts” and Team “Anime Needs Spice” went head-to-head. But that wasn’t all! Fans clashed over whether Madara or Sukuna would emerge victorious in an epic showdown.

Did relentless fan service ruin an anime for you? Could Sukuna’s domain expansion withstand Madara’s onslaught? Join the discussion by checking out the highlights here and here. Weigh in with YOUR opinion – visit aniwe.net to share your thoughts!

Netflix’s Monkey D Luffy Meets One Piece, Creator Eiichiro Oda

Posted on by Category:News Leave a comment
Eiichiro Oda meets Iñaki Godoy

The One Piece live-action has been one of the most anticipated and controversial series this summer. With just five days left before its release, fans have continued to express their excitement online.

Over the years, live-action anime adaptations have never really been successful projects, with just a handful being able to meet fan expectations. With One Piece, Netflix is looking to break the record in several ways, one of the most significant ways being the involvement of creator Eiichiro Oda. Who will serve as an Executive Producer on the show’s first season.

One Piece showrunner Matt Owens revealed that one of Oda’s demands for the project was that the Netflix series wouldn’t alter the origin stories of its five main characters. 

Eiichiro Oda Meets Live-Action Luffy

Netflix recently released a promotional video for the One Piece series featuring a wholesome encounter between Eiichiro Oda and live-action Luffy actor Iñaki Godoy. Godoy personally met Oda at his studio in Tokyo, Japan. The brilliant manga artist warmly welcomed the starstruck actor by immediately embracing him. 

The video featured a hilarious meet-up between Oda and the young actor, who was awestruck after meeting his idol. Oda recalled the time when he first saw Godoy’s audition video. He revealed how he started laughing when he saw the video. Godoy had an adorable fan reaction as he asked in disbelief, “I made you laugh?”

Oda hopes that Godoy will play Luffy for many years to come. Although Netflix has yet to confirm a second season of One Piece, the live-action series has plenty of source material to cover. 

Oda isn’t the only celebrity Godoy met. He recently sat down with Mayumi Tanaka during his trip to Japan. The legendary voice actress has voiced Luffy in the long-running anime series since 1999. Like Oda, Tanaka also gave Godoy her blessing by ceremoniously placing a straw hat on the actor’s head. 

Godoy wasn’t the only cast member who met the legendary mangaka. The rest of the crew had the opportunity to meet Eiichiro Oda during a promotional event. In an interview with collider Emily Rudd, who stars as Nami in the series, described their meeting as the “scariest moment of her life.” However, she admitted that Oda was a “lovely dude,” but his incredible legacy made her nervous. 

Final Thoughts

One Piece is one of the world’s most influential and popular manga today, which puts a lot of pressure on the actors and staff to make it a success. The involvement of Eiichiro Oda has put many fans at ease as they prepare for the long-awaited premiere.

Horimiya To Get Another Adaptation

Posted on by Category:News Leave a comment
Horimiya Sneak peak

The fan favourite anime “Horimiya” is set to receive another anime adaptation with will animate the stories that were not shown in the previous adaptation. The new adaptation is titled “Horimiya-piece”……yes also thought the pirates had been isekai’d and were now competing in the horimiya verse therefore bringing about the birth of the title, guess that was not the case though. 

Horimiya-piece staff began streaming a new concept promotional video, titled the “Shuwa Kyun version,” on Sunday, you can check it out here. The anime is set to hit the screens and streaming platforms by the month of july.

For me anime lovers who hasn’t seen the previous “Horimiya”, here is a quick synopsis for you;

Hori-san appears to be a frivolous high school girl at first look, but she’s actually simple, sensible, and family-oriented. Miyamura-kun, on the other hand, appears to be an ordinary high school fanboy, but he’s actually a handsome young man with a bad-boy attitude and piercings and tattoos. A lively, pleasant narrative of school life begins when these two strangely similar students have a spontaneous run-in outside the school.
