Intro Draft

Day 3 of Anime Expo 2023 started out with a bang for attendees interested in the U.S. premiere of Rurouni Kenshin. Not only were fans treated to the first adaptive episode of a beloved anime series but also graced by the presence of the producer Masami Niwa, Kenshin Himura’s voice actor Soma Saito, and Kaoru Kamiya’s voice actress Rie Takahashi. All in all, the experience was memorable in more ways than one.

Studio Trigger, the renowned animation powerhouse, celebrated their highly anticipated anime adaptation of Ryoko Kui's beloved manga, Delicious in Dungeon (Dungeon Meshi) at Anime Expo 2023. Following the world premiere episode screening, our team had the privilege of learning more about the series through a roundtable press interview with Kentaro Kumagai, the voice behind the young swordsman Laios, and Sayaka Sembongi, who lends her talents to the skilled magician Marcille. Join us in our interview transcript to discover their thoughts and experiences working on Delicious in Dungeon.

During a panel at Anime Expo 2023, Toho Animation announced a unique collaboration between the upcoming SPY x FAMILY Code: White anime film and the recently released Street Fighter 6 video game. 

Studio Trigger's latest series is Delicious in Dungeon (known as Dungeon Meshi in Japanese).  We briefly touched about it in our Trigger panel review and this particular article will be focused solely on the anime, whose first episode had its world premiere at this year's Anime Expo.

Throughout the weekend of July 4, HIDIVE premiered a number of new anime series.  One of those is The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainness to Savior (I'm going to shorten it to Last Boss Queen due to the full title being quite a mouthful).  

Last Boss Queen is part of what you can call the "villainess" genre, which has been growing in popularity.  The story focuses on Pride Royal Ivy (voiced by Fairouz Ai), or more accurately, a girl who has reincarnated as Pride from the fictitious game Our Ray of Light.  That's a fairly common theme in the villain genre, where a person from the modern era dies or is transported to another world and becomes another character.  I'm going to give an introduction and a run down of the first two episodes, and my thoughts overall.

Another of HIDIVE's series premieres at Anime Expo was the anime Dark Gathering. I have been reading Dark Gathering since its inception and when I saw it on the schedule, I quickly slotted it into my list of things to see.

During the Persona 5 Tactica Panel at this year's Anime Expo, Atlus revealed a new trailer for the character Erina who will join the original team on their journey. 

During a special panel at Anime Expo 2023. Atlus showed off a new trailer for the newly announced remake of Persona 3 Reload. The trailer shows off gameplay and newly voiced English dialogue.

At Anime Expo 2023, Netflix revealed that the beloved voice cast from the Japanese One Piece anime series will be dubbing the upcoming live-action adaptation. A video showcased during the panel featured an encounter between Iñaki Godoy, who portrays Monkey D. Luffy in the live-action version, and Mayumi Tanaka, the iconic voice behind Luffy's character.
