In a shocking turn of events, a 25-year-old man from Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto City, has been arrested and charged with making threats against a voice actress from the anime Attack on Titan. The suspect, identified as Fukuta Kishimoto, faces allegations of posting murder threats on an internet bulletin board directed at the voice actress.
According to a law enforcement official, Kishimoto, whose occupation is unknown, admitted to the charges. The arrest occurred in November 2023, and was taken into custody by the Akasaka Police Station.
The threatening posts specifically targeted voice actress Yui Ishikawa, with messages such as “I will randomly stab her with a knife and kill her“. The agency representing Ishikawa discovered the alarming posts and promptly reported them to the police, leading to the investigation that resulted in Kishimoto’s arrest.
This incident is not the first time Kishimoto has faced legal consequences for such behaviour. In 2020, he...

Whether starring in a meme that breaks the internet, plotting world domination or using your lap as a mattress, cats will never lose their status as some of our favorite companions.
The Japanese often see cats as meowing omens of good luck. They can also be protectors of humans. This is why it should be no surprise that felines are everywhere in anime, with or without magical powers, and often based on creatures of myth and legend. Some are straight out of folklore, like the mischievous bakeneko and shapeshifting nekomata, while others come from space or the netherworld. Then there are those which are just cats without any supernatural powers. Their level of cuteness still has power over us.
Mischievous or magical, clawing or cuddly, these are some of our favorite anime cats that we wish could follow us home.

Stating that “mysterious efforts” were on to keep his film ‘Kayattam’ and any talk about it away from the public, well-known Malayalam film director Sanal K Sasidharan has said that the reason why these “unholy efforts” were not completely successful was because of the “significant height of the artwork we have created.”
Taking to Instagram, the director, best known for his award-winning film ‘Sexy Durga’, wrote, “Fb reminds me that on this day last year, Chandru Selvaraj, the cameraman of the movie ‘Kayattam’, got the award for best cinematographer.
“Mysterious efforts are still going on to keep the film and any talks about it away from the public. But the reason why these unholy efforts are not completely successful is the significant height of the art work we have created.

Full disclosure: I don’t believe in luck, but I do believe that “Luck” — the first feature-length toon from David Ellison-backed Skydance Animation — represents a force for good in the world. It’s not easy developing both a pipeline and a project that could compete with the Disneys and DreamWorks out there. While the new studio’s debut can’t touch “Toy Story,” it’s an auspicious start for a talented group of storytellers.
After Lasseter got involved, “Luck” changed direction — and directors — picking up choreographer-turned-helmer Peggy Holmes and shifting to a plot full of cute supporting characters (lilting leprechauns! dancing bunnies!). Still, the creative team never quite cracked their promising subject, settling on a plucky but unlucky 18-year-old orphan who travels to the source of both good and bad luck — a garish Willy Wonka-esque parallel world where most of the movie takes place — in order to collect...

Good fortune is a very real and quantifiable asset in the 3-D CG animated feature “Luck,” the first animated venture from Skydance Media – and the first project produced by disgraced industry figure John Lasseter since allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced in 2017.
Sam, a self-declared unlucky girl raised in foster care, doesn’t think of luck, or lack thereof, as a superstitious belief or as a placebo to explain the unexplainable events in our unpredictable day to day. For her, it’s the root cause of all her misfortune, big and small, including missing out on being adopted. Now that she has aged out of the system, her only desire is for her younger friend Hazel to find a forever home.
A longtime choreographer at Walt Disney Studios, Peggy Holmes directs this exceptionally crafted magical adventure. Despite having an emotional arc that becomes evident within its first few minutes, “Luck” registers...
