When it comes to isekai anime, The Rising of the Shield Hero has been one of the most popular titles in recent years. Created by Aneko Yusagi as a novel series, The Rising of the Shield Hero rose to popularity when the light novel debuted in 2013.

The light novel series is still ongoing with 22 volumes as of the time of writing, and it contributed to the production of the anime series as well. The anime series premiered in 2019, and since then, three seasons and 50 episodes have aired.

But, as we all know, a fourth season of The Rising of the Shield Hero anime is on the way and the producers have released the first teaser video, as well as some additional staff information.

The Rising of The Shield Hero anime will return for its fourth season in July. Kadokawa announced new cast members and released a fresh visual for the season.

So far, the staff hasn’t shared details about which cast and staff members will be returning for season four. However, we do know that Kaito Ishikawa (Naofumi), Asami Seto (Raphtalia), Rina Hidaka (Filo), Natsuko Hara (Rishia), Yoshitsugu Matsuoka (Ren), and Makoto Takahashi (Motoyasu) will be at the event.

Crunchyroll will be streaming the new season. The anime first premiered in January 2019 with a two-hour special and 25 episodes. Season two aired in April 2022, with season three following in October 2023.

The story, based on Yusagi Aneko’s original novel,...

The sappy and satisfying teen rom-dram “The Quintessential Quintupluets Movie” stands out among this year’s bumper crop of movies based on popular Japanese anime series. Much like other recent anime crossover hits, like “Jujutsu Kaisen 0” and “One Piece Film: Red,” “The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie” primarily addresses its franchise’s established audience.

You either already know who’s who and what’s already happened prior to this movie’s events, or you’re likely to get pretty lost.

That kind of insular appeal might seem like a handicap for uninitiated viewers, but several anime franchise spinoffs have already dominated the Japanese box office and enjoyed weeks-long, nationwide releases in American chain theaters and multiplexes. “The Quintessential Quintuplets Movie” also has all of the melodramatic revelations and puppy-love intrigue of the preceding anime series, based on Negi Haruba’s manga comics.
