MFA Newsletter 2

myfirstanime.com

It's Saturday, and My First Anime newsletter is back with its second edition. Today, I have some good news for fellow anime fans, and my head is full of ideas that I want to add to the newsletter. I want to make this newsletter the best in its sector, so let me show you what I have for you in this edition.

News About Upcoming Anime

1. Firehead and YahaKo's A Wild Last Boss Appeared! is getting a TV anime adaptation, as announced by the NBCUniversal Japan industry panel at Anime NYC on Friday. The panel revealed a 'super teaser visual' of the main character, Ruphas Mafahl, shattering glass, along with a special commemorative illustration by YahaKo, the illustrator of the fantasy light novel series.

2. The spin-off manga Uma Musume Cinderella Gray, based on Uma Musume: Pretty Derby, was announced on Friday to have a television anime adaptation. Written by Masafumi Sugiura and illustrated by Taiyou Kuzumi, the manga centers on the character Oguri Cap. The TV anime is scheduled to air in 2025. An official website and social media channel was launched for the series, along with the release of a teaser trailer and visual as part of the announcement.

3. Masakuni Igarashi's comedy/mystery manga Mattaku Saikin no Tantei to Kitara (What's with These Modern Detectives?) has been announced for a television anime adaptation. An official website and social media channel has also been launched for the series, accompanied by a teaser trailer and visual. The anime is set to premiere in 2025.

4. Coffee's Wondance (Wandance) manga is getting an anime adaptation. K-Pop choreographer Rie Hata, renowned for her work with BTS and BoA, as well as dancing with artists like Chris Brown and Lady Gaga, will serve as the dance producer. The anime is being produced by Madhouse and Cyclone Graphics, with a scheduled premiere in 2025. An official website and a celebratory illustration by the creator Coffee were also revealed to mark the occasion.

ANIME TO WATCH THIS WEEK

In the previous newsletter, I recommended two anime: Gangsta. and Hell's Paradise. This week, I planned to suggest another two, but since Dororo has 24 episodes, it would be challenging to finish it and watch another series. Therefore, I’m suggesting only Dororo this week. It’s a fantastic anime, and I’m sure you'll enjoy it!

Dororo (2019)

Dororo is one of the best works of MAPPA Studio. The series has everything: an engaging story, mind-blowing animation, surprising twists, and lovable characters. The anime will never disappoint you. I only have one issue with the series—it is very fast-paced—but the story is still quite good. Also, some of you might love fast-paced anime, so that might not be a problem. Overall, it is a very good anime to watch if you haven’t already. I’m sure you will thank me later.

The story is about Lord Daigo Kagemitsu, who, driven by his greed for power, strikes a deal with demons to save his dying land. In exchange, his first son is born malformed and abandoned. Despite his disabilities, the child is saved and equipped with prosthetics by a kind medicine man. Now, he embarks on a quest to defeat the demons and reclaim his lost humanity. Along the way, he meets Dororo, a young orphan, and together they navigate the dangers of a world overrun by demons.

ANIME MEME

I haven’t uploaded a post on the website for the last 3 days, so there’s nothing new to share here. However, as compensation, I’ve created an anime meme for you! I think you’ll find it funny and relatable. Here it is:

That's all for the second My First Anime newsletter. I will be back again in 3 days. Send me a reply if the meme is totally relatable to you and let me know if you’re excited about those upcoming anime I mentioned earlier. Stay healthy and safe, and watch a lot of anime.

Best regards,

Madao from MFA.
