As Knocked Loose has grown in prominence, they’ve become more unapologetically themselves. Viral sets at Coachella, Lollapalooza, and Reading & Leeds scored massive wins for a scene that has long been considered one of outsiders. With their brand new album, You Won’t Go Before You’re Supposed To , the band brings their punishing form of hardcore/metalcore into the mainstream. In many ways, their journey mirrors that of anime’s rise to prominence. No one embodies these analogous journeys more than guitarist Nicko Calderon, whose creative voice, both figuratively and quite literally, can be heard throughout the new album’s aggressive 27-minute run time. We spoke with Calderon on the eve of the album’s release to learn more about how anime has impacted his songwriting style, his love of Flcl and The Pillows, and the extremes of anime and heavy music. Can you introduce yourself to the Crunhcyroll audience?...

Former Toei producer Muneyuki Kim has launched K2 Pictures, which will work with major directors such as Hirokazu Kore-eda and aim to create a new funding ecosystem for Japanese animated and live-action features.
The plan is to return profits that would traditionally go to film companies to investors and creators, which its founder says closely follows approaches used in Hollywood and elsewhere. Creators who team with K2 will be able to participate on projects as shareholders.
Kii, who will be K2’s CEO, says most Japanese films are produced through a system of ‘production committees’ with industry know-how formed through film companies, TV networks and publishers, which it believes makes entry into the market difficult and limits returns to producers and creators.

Kagurabachi, which started serializing in Weekly Shonen Jump in the latter half of 2023, has gained quite the popularity among fans due to its action packed storyline and the revenge filled theme at its center.
In an interview put out on Manga Plus, the manga’s editor Takuro Imamura revealed the inspirations that led author Takeru Hokazono to craft such a story.
Talking about the revenge aspect, Imamura said that Hokazono always aspired to “make a revenge story” and get serialized in Jump. The one shots that he had drawn before also had similar themes.
Simply put, the revenge genre was Hokazono’s favorite, thanks to his love for Western movies, especially those directed by Quentin Tarantino.
These movies, along with the recent John Wick instalments served as an inspiration for the author to craft the unique setting in Kagurabachi manga.

On October 11, 2020, a 20-minute Ona episode was released before the manga was properly adapted into an anime series which premiered on April 10, 2024.

However, the one thing that he is most famous for, which also adds a comedic element to the character, is his motion sickness.

When I first listened to Tk from Ling tosite sigure , it was through Tokyo Ghoul ’s Op, “unravel.” I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that this was many anime fans’ first exposure to the singer because it’s truly iconic. You hear him sing in that high-pitched voice of his, “Oshiete yo, oshiete yo,” the instrumentals kick in, and then you get goosebumps. I’ve said this about many other anime songs, but this one ends up on my karaoke list if I’m feeling brave or want to damage my vocal cords. Tk, or Toru Kitajima, is the lead vocalist, guitarist, and singer-songwriter from the band Ling tosite sigure. He started releasing music as a soloist in 2011, and since then, he has left a major mark in the anime scene. His music style is an acquired taste for some, but for me who’s an emo at heart,...

In his comment, Oshiyama acknowledged the similarities in the creative processes between animators/animation directors and manga artists, saying that they approach their works in an identical manner.
He further elaborated on his personal connection to the story, stating, he could resonate with Fujimoto’s inspiration to create Look Back. And because of this, Oshiyama felt that he could create a movie adaptation of the work, which he could personally relate to.
“When I read manga, I was not only deeply moved by the story, but I also resonated with the passion of Tatsuki Fujimoto, the author of Look Back. That’s why I felt that I could make this into a film that I could personally relate to.”

Typically, a manga’s popularity sees an enormous boost after being adapted into an anime; however, Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man is an exception. It has been one of the highest-selling manga series and has an across-the-board fanbase due to its lively and enjoyable characters and intriguing theme.
Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Chainsaw Man
To write relatable characters who can click with the audience, the author needs to have a similar personality and should interact with the audience. Tatsuki Fujimoto constantly achieves this via his X account, where he disguises himself as his little sister; however, the biography of Fujimoto’s sister account states that she is in her third year of elementary school, making her around 12 years old, which resulted in X banning the account.

There are always some mangas and anime that help pave the way for other artists; Eiichiro Oda and Jujutsu Kaisen writer Gege Akutami understand that very well. On one hand, most of the big works have a touch of Dragon Ball in them, with Akira Toriyama having a hand in inspiring these artists. For Akutami though, the credit goes to Tite Kubo, the creator of Bleach.

Chris Evans became a globally loved movie star after his Marvel role as Captain America. The actor played the super soldier in the film trilogy based on the character and also reprised his role in Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame.
Despite the 42-year-old actor’s key role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), it’s his co-star Robert Downey Jr. who is often credited for the meteoric success of MCU. Thanks to the Oscar winner’s laudable portrayal of Iron Man, he became the “Face of MCU” in many ways. However, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige once weighed in on Evans’ contribution to the MCU, noting how fans can often overlook the Captain America: Civil War star’s role in the company’s success.

Tatsuki Fujimoto has taken a lot of creative liberty when it comes to Chainsaw Man part 2. Not only did the pacing of the series change considerably, Denji, the titular character, saw his appearances in the manga limited in order to accommodate Asa Mitaka, who was undeniably the new main character.
Denji wasn’t the only familiar face missing from Chainsaw Man’s second part. Fan favorites like Kishibe seemingly vanished entirely.
However, Csm Chapter 162, which released on April 10, 2024, brought a sigh of relief and a surge of excitement among fans yearning for any breadcrumbs regarding these characters.
In this chapter, Quanxi, another popular character from Part 1, mentioned an advice from an old friend. Savvy readers were quick to deduce that this friend was none other than the enigmatic Kishibe.
Quanxi and Kishibe’s friendship is well documented in the Chainsaw Man series. Not only have they known each other for a very long time,...

Every anime fan in the world probably knows who Hayao Miyazaki is. The director of Studio Ghibli has made many films that have earned international recognition and even won Academy Awards. He is one of the legends in the anime world and many creators have been inspired by him.

One such creator is Tatsuki Fujimoto, the mangaka of Chainsaw Man. During an interview with Shuiesha last year, Fujimoto was asked for his opinions about Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli.

However, while talking about Miyazaki, Fujimoto pointed out one particular trait of the creator that makes him different from other filmmakers and directors. Fujimoto also stated that he believes that this trait would no longer be found in others.

In present times, Deadpool is arguably one of the most popular comic book characters, if not the most popular.

Jujutsu Kaisen has reached the peak of popularity, and there are hardly any anime that come close to it. It is going through a crucial phase, with the King of Curses becoming more potent. Multiple Jujutsu sorcerers have come and gone, but none were strong enough to end Ryomen Sukuna’s terror. The fans are hoping to see Yuji Itadori get a power-up soon.
Jujutsu Kaisen has often made headlines with positive as well as negative reasons. While the positive reasons are mainly related to the anime and manga, the negative reasons are caused by the mangaka. But recently, several people have been lashing out at the anime after they swept away the awards at the 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Awards.

One clear memory I have in regards to being a creative, and I’m sure it’s something many creatives have been told, is that my field of choice (in my case writing) is not a real job . Creativity can feel like a space where so many people enjoy what comes out of it... yet don’t miss a beat when it comes to putting it down as an occupation. This is why I’m always so happy to see creators recognized for their work, so you can imagine the joy I felt in seeing Gabe Kunda receive his flowers from Forbes late last year. I first heard Kunda in My Hero Academia for his portrayal of Rock Lock before going down a bit of a rabbit hole with the actor.

The anime fans were eagerly waiting for the 2024 Crunchyroll Anime Awards result. Anime like Jujutsju Kaisen, Attack on Titan, Oshi no Ko, etc., dominated the award ceremony with multiple award wins. Jujutsu Kaisen won the most, with eleven awards. Chainsaw Man season one had a few nominations, but it could not perform as the fans had hoped. Denji and Pochita’s friendship was not strong enough.
But there was a certain category that the fans had hoped for a different result. During the award ceremony, Jujutsu Kaisen won the Best Opening Sequence award. Even though fans voted it to be the best, many believe that it would have been given to Chainsaw Man. Chainsaw Man’s opening theme broke a record that even One Piece failed to achieve.
