So we finally got a trailer for the Blade Runner anime.
You know how the Soul Eater anime finished way earlier than the manga? The manga lasted from 2004-2013 while the anime lasted from 2008-2009. Makes me wonder if we are ever going to see a remake or re-adaptation of Soul Eater. Maybe for the 20th anniversary?

Eh, it might happen. It might not happen. Who knows?

EDIT: To believe Soul Eater is soon going to be 20 years old...
TMS released the opening for the upcoming Baki Son of Ogre.
So I recently found out the official One Piece twitter account posted a tweet in Greek. The tweet is in reference to the Olympics.

It should be noted that One Piece is the most popular anime/manga series in Greece, so there's that.

EDIT: so the reason behind this tweet is because Miltiadis Tentoglou of Greece imitated Luffy's Gear Second pose. The staff liked that tribute and so made a tweet about it.

Oh, and it turns out he wasn't the only one.

This sketch from the Code Geass abridged series (Code MENT) is more famous than the abridged series itself.

This is most likely the last chapter Kentaro Miura worked on before his passing.

Also, we got a trailer for the upcoming JoJo Stone Ocean anime. Coming December 2021.

Shinsuke Satō to Direct Hollywood Live-Action Film Adaptation of My Hero Academia (Shinsuke Satō has directed live-action Bleach, Kingdom, Alice in Borderland)

Mr. Tonegawa Manga Artist Tomohiro Hashimoto Hospitalized for COVID-19
Back in 2014 during a Q&A session, Akira Toriyama confirmed that the real names of Androids 17 and 18 are Lapis and Lazuli, respectively. Those were there names before they became Androids. Lapis Lazuli, you know, like the blue rock?
He also confirmed that 17 works as a park ranger. You know that one scene of 17 during the Buu saga where he was walking in the wilderness? That was him doing his job.

So yeah, contrary to what Team Four Stars fanboys might tell you, TFS DID NOT predict 17 becoming a park ranger. Then again, TFS fanboys believe that everything was influenced by TFS.

Speaking of the Androids, in the original Japanese the Androids are called Artificial Humans (人造人間 Jinzōningen), which makes sense if you think about it. Androids 16 and 19 are exactly that, androids (and so were Nos. 1–12), so the term fits, but 17 and 18 are cyborgs while Cell is a product of bio-engineering. The term "Android" is too specific and it doesn't fit all of Dr. Gero's creations.

EDIT: Oh, and remenber when some fans called Cell "Android 21"? This was before Dragon Ball FighterZ was a thing and introduced a character with that name.
