Fate/strange Fake, a former April Fool’s Day joke that was transformed into an actual spinoff, is getting a special anime, yet more content for Fate/Grand Order addicts to consume and sure to have many wondering if the Fate franchise will ever slow down.

The anime special was announced at Aniplex Online Fest 2022, and it will be titled “Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn-“.

A short PV was also shared online, chronicling the Fate franchise over the years before finally announcing the special:

The Fate/strange Fake special will debut on December 31st worldwide.

The cherished Onimusha series is making a return of sorts, albeit not in the form of a game but a Netflix anime adaptation, which will have some critics wondering if it’ll be decent as Netflix productions tend to vary in quality.

Onimusha is a video game franchise that contains various Japanese historical figures and mixes in elements of the supernatural.

The Netflix anime’s chief director will be Takashi Miike, Shinya Sugai will serve as director, Sublimation was chosen as the animation studio, and Toshihiro Mifune is serving as the model for character Musashi Miyamoto.

According to Netflix, the anime will follow Musashi as he attempts to defeat the Genma during the Edo period of Japan:

The beginning of the Edo period, Musashi is no longer a young man. He departs with the legendary Oni Gauntlet to defeat the Genma. 3D CGI characters and hand-drawn backgrounds create phenomenal visuals. Onimusha is given a new life using modern-day animation technology.

A couple screenshots were released as a tease:

Various updates have been provided regarding the upcoming NieR Automata anime, and there are now brief glimpses at the explosive action scenes and characters 2B and 9S, while creator Yoko Taro also uttered that the anime will not entirely copy the game’s story.

The anime will be called “NieR Automata Ver. 1.1a” and was named as such because it “wouldn’t be interesting to simply copy the game’s story as-is in the anime”, according to Yoko Taro.

A lengthy segment covered different aspects about the anime at the Aniplex Online Fest:

Main heroine 2B got her own short trailer that focuses on her many fine qualities:

9S and his less attractive posterior also got a trailer:

Omake:

The NieR Automata Ver. 1.1a anime will debut January 2023.

The anime industry, much like the video game industry, is again trying to profit off nostalgia whilst simultaneously introducing beloved classics to a new generation, and samurai anime Rurouni Kenshin is the next series to be getting a remake, one that will have quite a bit of polish according to the announcement trailer.

The trailer naturally focuses heavily on merciless killer Kenshin and shows off several violent scenes carried out by the swordsman:

2023 is when the Rurouni Kenshin anime remake will draw its blade.

The highly anticipated Chainsaw Man has released its “main trailer” as the protagonist and their bladed form is exhibited, gruesomely murdering the hordes of monsters that plague the world and sure to have many curious as to the origins of such a strange form.

The trailer will likely be effective at making watchers want to check out the series due to the grotesque creatures and all the blood-spraying murder:

October 11th is when Chainsaw Man will finally rend and tear.

The Netflix Sonic series, Sonic Prime, has been teased with a rather fast-paced trailer, revealing that several classic Sonic characters will be making an appearance and bound to have many hoping the show will do the franchise justice (as the games often do not, according to fan opinions).

The brief look at the show naturally contained a surplus of running as characters such as Shadow, Sonic, and Big appeared:

Omake:

The winter 2022 premiere for the show will be 40 minutes while 24 20-minute episodes will be available afterwards.

Eiyuu Densetsu: Sen no Kiseki Northern War, an anime adaptation of Eiyuu Densetsu: Sen no Kiseki, has given prospective watchers a quick glimpse through a trailer, and deadly situations seem to be a common element to the show, hopefully entertaining both fans of the games and newcomers alike.

The rather uninformative premise of the anime:

Eiyuu Densetsu: Sen no Kiseki centers around Rean Schwarzer, a professor at Thors Military Academy in the Erebonian Empire. The anime’s story will focus on the western part of the Zemurian continent featured in the games.

The trailer exhibits several characters and violent moments concerning beasts and humans:

Meant to air in 2021, the series has been pushed back multiple times, but now Eiyuu Densetsu: Sen no Kiseki Northern War is scheduled to debut sometime in 2023.

A recent Twitch event with the producer of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, a Netflix anime from Studio Trigger based on CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk series, has been spreading around online as it had the producer explaining they didn’t want the character Rebecca in the show because she was a lolita character, yet Studio Trigger was insistent that “the loli must stay”.

The 47-second clip explaining the matter in better detail:

CD Projekt Red is probably best known for being responsible for Cyberpunk 2077, a title that was highly anticipated but ended up being a disaster riddled with atrocious bugs, errors, and poor gameplay.

Screenshots and footage of the aforementioned Rebecca:

The Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime is available on Netflix now.
