It's over for the world's biggest anime piracy site... at least, if you believe the message currently displayed on the fallen website."It's time to say goodbye. And thank you for a wonderful journey with great moments." That's the message currently displayed to anyone trying to access HiAnime, which was once regarded as one of the largest anime piracy websites worldwide.However, according to HiAnime's Discord, the illegal streaming site is only temporarily down. "Greetings, everyone," the Discord post reads. "There appears to be an issue with the website at this time. Kindly refrain from panicking or disseminating unofficial or unverified information. We will provide updates regarding the situation in due course. Rest assured, we are not going anywhere."Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 just released a generational anime episode that will certainly be remembered for years to come. But as soon as the episode's critical acclaim arrived, the initial hype around it was replaced by a serious debate about the real source of Frieren's success.Frieren Season 2, Episode 8, “A Magnificent End” marked the conclusion of the highly anticipated Divine Revolte Arc with one of the most hyped anime fights of the year. Even before the episode dropped, a leaked staff list had fans excited, because it featured many of the biggest names in Japanese animation. This included Chainsaw Man and JJK veteran animator Kouki Fujimoto, legendary FMA and Mob Psycho animator Yutaka Nakamura, and even Tatsuya Yoshihara, the director of both Black Clover and the recent Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc film.And they absolutely delivered. The episode debuted with a near-perfect 9.7/10 score on IMDb, making it the series' new highest-rated episode so far. Unfortunately, that achievement brought with it a controversy that few could've seen coming.

POV: you let me summarize all the massive anime news from around internet so you don't have to

One Piece just became the best-selling comic series in history at 600 million copies — dethroning Superman in 60 fewer years — and Oda celebrated by writing down what the One Piece is and throwing it in the ocean. Genuinely unhinged. Berserk crosses 70 million worldwide sales with volume 43 on the way, Naruto and Boruto get an official YouTube channel, and Rumiko Takahashi's MAO is getting a two-cour anime from Sunrise this April. Akame ga Kill! creator Tetsuya Tashiro returns with a new series, and we close this week remembering Kyoto Animation founder Hideaki Hatta, who passed away at 76 — the man behind Violet Evergarden, A Silent Voice, Clannad, and so much more. Rest in peace to one of anime's greatest builders.All this and more on this week's In Bloom.If you enjoy the show, please rate, review, like, and subscribe to Sakura Society | An Anime Appreciation Podcast — and any other podcasts you love.

The anime world is absolutely unhinged this week and I'm here to deliver you all the big news you need to know about

This week, Cian and Kev dive into the beginning of the end for Stranger Things, breaking down the first half of the final season — what works, what doesn't, and whether Netflix's last true monoculture can stick the landing. From there, Kev introduces Pluribus, the unexpected and deeply strange new sci-fi series from Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, starring Rhea Seehorn — a bold creative swing that's flying under the radar. The conversation then turns sour as Amazon is caught using AI-generated English dubs for anime, sparking a wider discussion about AI, voice acting, and why this tech keeps making everything worse. A thoughtful, opinionated episode about endings, originality, and why supporting real artists matters more than ever.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle is on the verge of making history as the first theatrical anime movie to gross $1B worldwide.

Per FranSpeech on X (formerly Twitter), Infinity Castle's presales reached ¥20M, equivalent to $2.8M in the U.S., within five hours with minimal advertising. Demon Slayer's Chinese presales have reached $3M, as confirmed by Davi de Moraes on X, and the film is currently on track for a $200M opening release. In April 2019, Avengers: Endgame earned over $100 million on its opening day in China.Support The Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/roose366/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow For More Content &Streams!Science Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/5nFXe9dPeWrMpyObyAlrnF?si=7358d1cf32cb45b7⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube Gaming: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@RooseJp/videos⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@podcastonanime⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
