AniWe Update: May Mayhem

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! 

Winners:

  1. AniWe Debate Dojo

Summary: The Clash Royale Tournament for April commenced on the 6th with a blast. A total of 17 players came to play, and emerging in first place for the first week was Player キラの死16 with 9 points. The second week was tough; having a total of 40 players who came to play, Player キラの死16 still emerged the winner with a total aggregate of 15 points. In the third week, Player キラの死16 still clinched an aggregate of 24 to triumph over 49 other players. 

In the 4th week, however, he was dethroned. Player: Star Cr, who came in second place during the 2nd and 3rd week, emerged the winner with a total aggregate of 30 points. No one saw this coming; it was a fantastic April tournament.

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

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

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.

It’s a good day once again as the action seeps from the newly released vinlaga saga season trailer which was posted on the official webpage moments ago.

Vinland Saga is an anime series that follows the story of Thorfinn, a young Viking who seeks revenge against the man who killed his father. Along the way, Thorfinn gets caught up in a larger conflict between rival Viking factions and begins to question the violent lifestyle that he has grown up with. The series explores themes of loyalty, revenge, episodes of intense fight scenes and the struggle to find one’s true identity in a world of constant conflict.

You can join us on our twitter rants as we voice our concerns about the story and let out the bottled frustrations as i personally have a lot about the anime series. Check the season two trailer below.
