Takahiro Fujiwara | 50th Anniversary of the Gundam franchise

[Takahiro Fujiwara]
Takahiro Fujiwara has died at the age of 44. A fairly well-known voice actor, whom we may recognize from Bleach (temporarily as Kenpachi, contrary to rumors circulating online), Kurogiri from BnHA, Pippin in the Berserk film trilogy,

[50th Anniversary of the Gundam Brand]
Over five decades ago, Mr. Yoshiyuki Tomino created one of the most important franchises in anime history and laid the foundation for the "real robo" subgenre. Today, we await another, even better anime and the upcoming live-action film. An event is scheduled for January 2027, where they may show us the first promotional materials from the film.

Overall, Bandai has seen record profits from the franchise this year, surpassing the DB franchise for the first time! As the saying goes, everything is going swimmingly for Bandai. They'll continue investing in Gunpla, promoting merch, and then we'll get even more anime (and maybe movies, but for now, one movie).

[Gundam Wing[
Two Bandai representatives announced that we'll be getting something new in this series. Apparently, it's going to be long. https://www.facebook.com/LiveChart.me/posts/pfbid0WbiwoPc42c2BL36cErJVWSo87aBvZjyLmpUEAhqPxR77z22ctCaXHgirNoKFgK3l

[Crunchyroll Awards]
The awards for the best anime of 2025 were handed out. BnHA took home the top prizes. Am I surprised? No, those complaining online are usually a vocal minority; most watched because streaming servers couldn't handle it, like during the best DB episodes, so they chose their own. I'm a BnHA hater, so my opinion isn't entirely accurate. I bet that in a few years, people will be complaining about this choice; perhaps they are already complaining.

[Bleach]
We've received a trailer for the next season. I'll say it, I'll definitely watch it, but I already know there's no amount of alcohol or sweets in the world that would make me buy this concept. Bleach simply doesn't hold together plot-wise.

And in 2027, we'll get... Yujiro Hanma himself, the greatest alpha male, the omega chad in the history of Japanese cartoons. Fuck, I didn't believe it would happen. XD Yujiro and the Baki characters really fit the style of Tekken 8. Maybe they'll add his son too?

[Takahiro Fujiwara]
W wieku 44 lat, zmarł Takahiro Fujiwara. Dość znany aktor głosowy, którego możemy znać z Bleacha (tymczasowo jako Kenpachiego, wbrew informacjom jakie krążą po sieci), Kurogiri z BnHA, Pippina w trylogii filmów Berserk,

[50-lecie marki Gundam]
Ponad 5 dekad temu, Pan Yoshiyuki Tomino wymyślił jedną z najważniejszych franczyz w historii anime oraz podwaliny pod pod-gatunek "real robo". Dzisiaj czekamy na kolejne, jeszcze lepsze anime oraz powstający film Live Action. W styczniu 2027 ma się pojawić event, na którym być może pokażą nam pierwsze materiały promocyjne z filmu.

Generalnie Bandai w tym roku zanotował rekordowe zyski z marki, pokonując po raz 1 franczyzę DB! Jak to się mówi, wszystko idzie jak po maśle dla Bandai. Dalej będą inwestować w Gunplę, promocję merchu, a potem dostaniemy jeszcze więcej anime (+ może filmy, póki co jeden film).

[Crunchyroll Awards]
Rozdano nagrody dla najlepszych anime 2025. Główne nagrody zebrało BnHA. Czy jestem zdziwiony? Nie, narzekający w internecie to zwykle głośna mniejszość, większość oglądała bo serwery serwisów streamingowych nie wytrzymywały, jak w czasach najlepszych odcinków DB, więc sami wybrali. Jestem haterem BnhA, więc moja opinia nie jest do końca rzetelna. Stawiam że za kilka lat ludzie będą narzekali na ten wybór, być może już narzekają.

[Bleach]
Dostaliśmy trailer kolejnego sezonu. Powiem tak, na pewno obejrzę, ale już teraz wiem, że nie ma takiej ilości alkoholu i słodkości na świecie, bym kupił ten koncept. Bleach zwyczajnie nie trzyma się kupy pod względem fabuły.

Z kolei w 2027 dostaniemy samego... Yujiro Hanmę, największego samca-alfa, chada omega w historii Japońskich kreskówek. Kurwa, nie wierzyłem że to się stanie XD. Yujiro i postacie z Bakiego naprawdę pasują do stylistyki Tekken 8. Może dodadzą też jego syna?
