Fans of manga and anime series Undead Unluck know that August 1 is a big day: It marks the day Fuko and Andy met, kicking off the events of the series and their involvement with the rest of their fellow Negators. But this year, August 1 will mark something else, too... some big news for the anime. At this weekend's AnimeJapan 2024, the series hosted a talk show event with the show's cast. As the panel came to an end, we got a teaser flashing back to early events of the series, as well as a shot of the in-series manga To You, From Me . Fuko's favorite shojo manga series is a major part of the Autumn Arc, where the show left off.

It’s an interesting month ahead on Hulu, as the streamer rolls out some of the series it’s been keeping in its back pocket for the holiday season.
On December 15, the first season of Such Brave Girls will arrive. The sitcom follows a dysfunctional family – and we mean dysfunctional! – that includes real-life sisters Kat Sadler and Lizzie Davidson. British comedian Sadler has previously written for The News Quiz, Hypothetical, and Mel Giedroyc: Unforgivable, but this is her first big TV project. “Everything we joke about in the show is from a place of lived experience,” she told Funny Women. “I wish I could say this is a heart-warming show about overcoming trauma, but that would be a lie. It’s about three toxic, damaged egomaniacs manipulating the world and each other for their own personal gain, vengeance and glory…just like in Little Women.” Sounds good!
