Shortly after being teased, Studio Trigger released its special Transformers 40th anniversary video , and it covers all the bases in style. The short—which runs through the history of the long-running Transformers series and its many sequels, spinoffs and big-screen features—features the song "Mayday" by Bump Of Chicken. Hiromi Wakabayashi serves as creative producer for the short, with Akira Amemiya ( Ssss.Gridman ) directing, providing storyboards and handling animation direction.

It's been a couple months since a trailer was shared for Ninja Slayer: Neo-Saitama in Flames , the upcoming game from developer Skeleton Crew Studio and distributors Kadokawa (Kadokawa Game Linkage) and ABC Animation. The game was previously just planned for PC via Steam , but now a Nintendo Switch version has been added along with a July 24, 2024 release date. July 24 is a big date for the series, because that's also when the novel started being serialized on Twitter back in 2010. Ahead of launch, the game will be on display at Japan's largest indie game event, BitSummit Drift, which is being held in Kyoto over the weekend of July 19-21 at the Miyako Messe Exhibition Center.

"Cyberpunk: Edgerunners" is an animated spin-off of "Cyberpunk 2077," a blockbuster sci-fi dystopian video game that itself was made in a pretty dystopian manner. It's also the newest show by Hiroyuki Imaishi, the director of "Gurren Lagann" and "Promare." 

Imaishi started as an animator and director at the legendary studio Gainax before co-founding Studio Trigger with fellow Gainax staff including Yoh Yoshinari. His work features bombastic action, rude humor, and enough lens flares to give J.J. Abrams a headache. Imaishi's work is popular among international fans, some of whom were inspired to become animators themselves. Others argue that Imaishi's descendants, such as Yoshimichi Kameda and Imaishi's protege Akira Amemiya, have long surpassed him as animator and director respectively. Even so, "Edgerunners" holds its own in what is set to be a very busy fall for the anime industry.

Imaishi crams his animated works with references to shows, movies and comics he likes.
