E se a pessoa mais importante da sua vida voltasse… mas algo nela estivesse profundamente errado?No episódio #308 do Animes Overdrive, ⁠⁠Pedro Lobato⁠⁠, ⁠⁠Gabi Tozati⁠⁠ e ⁠⁠Luis Hunzecher⁠⁠ se reúnem para discutir o anime O Verão em que Hikaru Morreu.Neste episódio, mergulhamos nessa história que mistura terror psicológico, mistério e drama com uma narrativa intensa sobre perda, identidade e amor. Será que finalmente temos um anime de terror para fazer jus ao gênero?

As the chess world digests the devastating news of the passing of Grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky, I found myself thinking back to our first interview in August of 2020 (Episode 191).  At the time, as chess boomed during the pandemic, Danya was ascending from promising young American player to chess commentating superstar. In the interview  Danya's eloquence, empathy, and hilarious impersonations  were on full display. It is among the most listened-to Perpetual Chess episodes in the podcast's 9 year history. Danya's loss is immense and I extend my deepest condolences to his family, friends and many fans. - Ben 00:00 – 03:15 Ben's tribute and introduction following Danya's passing (2025)  03:16 – 04:00 2020 Interview with Danya begins- Introduction to Danya's chess background and early achievements 04:00 – 06:00 Danya on listening to Perpetual Chess and favorite episodes 06:00 – 10:00 Discussion of the Hikaru–Magnus finale and Armageddon tiebreaks 10:12 – 13:10 Early fascination with blitz and bullet chess; childhood training habits 13:10 – 16:00 Blitz addiction story and lessons from IM John Donaldson 16:00 – 21:40 Practical tips on blitz improvement — tactics, intuition, and time management 21:40 – 26:30 Deep dive into time management and “15-second rule” from Hikaru analysis 26:30 – 33:00 Stories of playing Magnus and Alireza online; Rebecca Harris account origin 33:00 – 36:15 Etiquette and psychology of elite bullet matches 36:15 – 38:10 What Danya works on to improve; paradox of bullet skill vs. classical weakness 38:10 – 40:10 Balancing streaming, teaching, and training during COVID 40:10 – 43:00 Untapped potential and thoughts on improvement as a 2600+ GM 43:00 – 45:30 The continuing value of classical chess in a fast-paced world 45:30 – 49:10 Teaching and streaming as dual passions; insights on Twitch culture 49:10 – 54:30 Streaming schedule, viewer expectations, and sustainability 54:30 – 56:30 The pressures and pitfalls of Twitch streaming; handling trolls 56:30 – 1:00:00 Patreon questions: notebooks, writing process, and early books 1:00:00 – 1:03:00 How Mastering Positional Chess came to be; influence of Russian literature 1:03:00 – 1:06:00 Formative chess books and lessons from Kasparov and Soviet literature 1:06:00 – 1:09:30 Advice for adult improvers: training priorities and tactical habits 1:09:30 – End Reflections on commentary, pedagogy, and love of teaching Photo in thumbnail via Charlotte Chess Center: https://www.charlottechesscenter.org/staff/gm-daniel-naroditsky Learn more about your ad choices.

Puntata a cura di Untimoteo.L'Estate in cui Hikaru è morto è un anime di 12 episodi (Netflix, 2025). Ma non fatevi ingannare dalla sua apparente semplicità. O dall'ambientazione tranquilla della provincia giapponese. Questo non è un semplice thriller esoterico; è un horror che si fonde con una storia di crescita e scoperta di sé. È un coming-of-age sui dolori che comporta ammettere la propria vera natura, sull'accettazione della perdita e sull'amore, inteso nel suo significato più intimo: l'amare l'altro più di se stessi, fino al sacrificio.Tra le migliori produzioni anime degli ultimi anni, è la trasposizione dell'omonimo manga seinen, un fumetto maturo scritto e disegnato da un autore che si cela dietro lo pseudonimo quanto mai misterioso: Mokumokuren. “Animazione” è il format del podcast di Mondoserie dedicato alle diverse scuole ed espressioni del genere, dall'Oriente alla scena europea e americana. Parte del progetto: https://www.mondoserie.it/  Iscriviti al podcast sulla tua piattaforma preferita o su: https://www.spreaker.com/show/mondoserie-podcast  Collegati a MONDOSERIE sui social:https://www.facebook.com/mondoserie https://www.instagram.com/mondoserie.it/   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwXpMjWOcPbFwdit0QJNnXQ  https://www.linkedin.com/in/mondoserie/

The first notes of “kiss, kiss, fall in love” still flip a switch. This solo deep dive revisits Ouran High School Host Club with fresh eyes and a full heart—why Haruhi's grounded kindness cuts through the glitter, how Tamaki's theatrics hide a fierce tenderness, and what makes Kyoya's “Shadow King” strategy more protective than cold. We walk through the early episodes where comedy sparkles and the stakes feel light, then follow the threads that pull everything taut: identity, class, obligation, and the courage to choose your people.We break down the hosts beyond their archetypes. The twins weaponize performance to mask loneliness, only to be disarmed by someone who truly sees them. Honey and Mori reframe strength as care. Renge crashes in like a meta tornado, poking fun at tropes while spotlighting how the club protects its culture. From the physical exam shenanigans to the “which one is Hikaru?” prank, the show's humor primes you for the emotional gut checks that follow.The Oran Fair storyline raises the curtain on power—Eclair's leverage, family politics, and what happens when romance meets reality. Tamaki's carriage, Haruhi's leap, and Kyoya's quiet rebellion build to a finale that feels both theatrical and true. We also touch the manga's continuation, sharing satisfying reveals and futures that reward fans who wanted more than the anime delivered. Whether Ouran was your first anime or a comfort rewatch, this review maps what makes it timeless: satire without cynicism, romance without melodrama, and the chosen family that blooms in Music Room 3.Hit play to relive the best scenes, meet the cast anew, and pick up details you missed the first time. If it made you laugh, cry, or believe a little more in found family, share this with a friend and drop your favorite Ouran moment in a review.

ESTATE: finita

As you may have heard, ⁠GM Hikaru Nakamura made a surprise appearance ⁠at the Louisiana State Championship, as part of fulfilling FIDE's World Championship qualification criteria. In return, the players he encountered gained memories and stories they'll never forget. In this multi-guest special episode, I speak with several of Hikaru's opponents, as well as the tournament's organizer, to hear their firsthand accounts: Senior Tournament Director Richard Campbell (13:00) – on why he and his team initially thought Hikaru's registration was a prank, and how they realized it was real. 20-year-old college student Harry James (32:00) – on how being paired with Hikaru in Round 1 unexpectedly cured his hangover. Tulane graduate student Nahum Villamil Garces (47:30) – on the lifetime memories he made after facing Hikaru in Round 3. Five-time Louisiana State Champion FM Nick Matta (1:06:00) – on how he forced himself to play Hikaru with no fear, and how the opportunity to play him re-energized his passion for chess.  Baton Rouge-based NM Charles Campbell (1:34:00) – on the mixed feelings he had before his last-round showdown with Hikaru, as he vied for the state champion title. It was so much fun hearing the stories of our guests, and I was touched by the galvanizing effect Hikaru's visit had on the Louisiana chess community Thanks to our sponsor, Chessable.com!

Welcome, welcome! As the title suggest, we have a lot of laughter for you this episode. I will apologize for trauma dumping on all of you, my life story goes on for way too long. You can just listen for the music at the 26 minute mark (roughly, don't quote me nothing I say is exact) if you want to skip it which I recommend.As for Anime as the title of the podcast implies, we have My Dress Up Darling, That Summer that guy died... what's his name? Hikaru? The Lord of Mysteries makes a return and the Water Magician has a mini update.

In the series The Summer Hikaru Died, after Hikaru disappears, he is replaced by a mysterious otherworldly entity that perfectly mimics him but is not human, leading his childhood best friend, Yoshiki, to a fraught decision to keep the entity's secret. This entity, known as "the "Hikaru"" or "the monster," maintains Hikaru's memories and appearance but also possesses otherworldly abilities, such as being able to consume other spirits and heal injuries. As strange events and spirits plague their village, Yoshiki must navigate his complex relationship with the new Hikaru, a being that is both a replacement for his lost friend and a frightening supernatural threat.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

Die Sommer-Season 2025 ist einfach ein totales Brett! So viele Hochkaräter, tolle Sequels, Überraschungen, großartige Produktionen und eine solche Breite an Abwechslung, das hat man lang nicht mehr gesehen. Julian findet ausgerechnet in einem Yuri-Harem die Darstellung und Aspekte von Beziehungen, die ihm in Romance-Anime so oft fehlt. Für Lukas ist die Mischung aus ländlichem Horror und Boys Love "Der Sommer, in dem Hikaru starb" genau richtig. "Clevatess" ist ein überraschend guter, reiner(!) Fantasy-Anime und Kyoto Animation flext einfach nur mit "City The Animation". Cloverworks hat es mit drei Romance-Titeln diese Season, die alle samstags erscheinen, verdient erwähnt zu werden. Aber die Animationsqualität in "My Dress-Up Darling" Staffel 2 hätte auch so seinen Weg in das Gespräch gefunden. "Call of the Night" Staffel 2 schließt das ganze rund ab: Lukas' Faible für die Nacht, eine starke visuelle Umsetzung, ein anziehender Plot und Julians Vorfreude. Wieso soll man da bitte rausgehen wollen?

Summer 2025 is filled with dark new anime, and few are darker than Netflix's The Summer Hikaru Died. After an inhuman monster takes the place of the deceased Hikaru Indo, Hikaru's best friend, Yoshiki, tries to keep it all a secret out of a need to keep Hikaru in his life, but unfortunately, it isn't long before the situation takes a major toll on Yoshiki's psyche.The Summer Hikaru Died was one of the most anticipated anime of summer 2025, and it's already living up to the hype in more ways than one. Fans and critics alike have already sung its praises for its great writing and production values, and that's already paying off well for it, as The Summer Hikaru Died is already breaking major records on Netflix. It's easy to see how that happened, given the show's great quality, and hopefully, this won't be the end of its success.Support The Podcast!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://creators.spotify.com/pod/show/roose366/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow For More Content &Streams!Twitch: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.twitch.tv/roosejp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Kick: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kick.com/roosejp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@Roose366 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube Gaming: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@RooseJp/videos⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@podcastonanime⁠

Min 4: SANDMAN 2: VUELVE EL REY DE LOS SUEÑOS (Netflix) La serie más onírica y ambiciosa de Netflix, The Sandman, regresa con su segunda temporada, y lo hace pisando fuerte en la línea de lo que enamoró a los fans en su debut, pero también arrastrando algunos de sus fantasmas. De nuevo nos sumergimos en el universo de los Eternos, donde Morpheus, el Señor de los Sueños, sigue tratando de recomponer su reino tras el caos sembrado en la primera entrega. Pero esta vez, la historia va más allá de las fronteras de su mundo: nos lleva al mismísimo Infierno, nos invita a redescubrir antiguos lazos familiares rotos y nos sumerge en una odisea emocional donde el peso de la memoria y las decisiones pasadas se convierte en protagonista. NOTA EDC: 3,75 estrellas Min 12: EL VERANO EN EL QUE HIKARU MURIÓ (ANIME. NETFLIX) Atención a uno de los animes más comentados y esperados del año: El verano en que Hikaru murió, una historia que llega dispuesta a tocar la fibra sensible de los espectadores mientras los envuelve en un inquietante misterio sobrenatural. Ambientada en un pequeño y apacible pueblo japonés, la serie nos presenta a Yoshiki y Hikaru, dos amigos de toda la vida cuya relación cambia de forma radical cuando uno de ellos desaparece en el bosque y regresa... diferente. Algo ha ocupado su lugar, algo que parece ser Hikaru pero que esconde una amenaza que va mucho más allá de lo humano. NOTA EDC: 3'5 estrellas Min 21: "ADULTS": Disney y el Friends de la Generación Z Adults es, en el fondo, un retrato generacional que habla de esos treinta y tantos en los que, a pesar de todo lo aprendido y todo lo vivido, uno sigue sintiéndose perdido. Con un estilo fresco, directo y con toques de humor amargo, la serie disecciona con acierto los temores, las inseguridades y los deseos de una generación marcada por la precariedad emocional y laboral, pero también por la constante búsqueda de sentido. La crítica ha valorado especialmente su guión ágil, sus diálogos realistas y la capacidad de reflejar de forma honesta esas contradicciones que todos, en algún momento, hemos experimentado al pasar de la juventud despreocupada a las responsabilidades de la vida adulta. Una serie que engancha por su cercanía, por su retrato sincero de las relaciones y por su mirada irónica, pero también empática, sobre el complejo arte de ser adultos. NOTA EDC: 2,5 estrellas Min 31: MOBLAND: CAMINO A LA PERFECCIÓN Es la serie del momento y uno de los fenómenos del año. Tendremos que esperar hasta agosto para conocer el desenlace pero hoy nos rendimos en el Filtro Rachel y en el diván de la música de series a "Mobland: Tierra de Mafiosos": el as en la manga de Skyshowtime que está llamada a convertirse en una de las más brillantes zambullidas en el mundo de la mafia. En cuanto a la BSO de Ilan Eshkeri, desde los primeros compases despliega un elegante tapiz sonoro que mezcla instrumentación tradicional con toques electrónicos muy sutiles. Las cuerdas oscuras, los vientos melancólicos y los ritmos pausados marcan el tono de una historia donde cada silencio pesa tanto como cada disparo. Es una música que no busca deslumbrar con grandes fanfarrias, sino acompañar con inteligencia cada escena, cada decisión moral, cada paso en falso de unos personajes atrapados en su propia espiral de perdición.

Finalmente recibimos a nuestra amiga Vicka para hacer la RE: seña de la primera parte de Magic Knight Rayearth, el famoso manga del grupo CLAMP que se editó entre 1993 y 1995 en la revista Nakayoshi, de la afamada editorial Kodansha. Gran ejemplo del shojo o manga "para chicas", combina diferentes géneros como el magical girl y el isekai, u otros mundos. Justamente, en la historia, tres adolescentes (Hikaru, Umi, y Fuu) se ven transportadas al mundo de Cephiro por la Princesa Emeraude, para salvarla de un malvado secuestrador, y así salvar esa tierra fantástica. Escuchen este episodio para saber que tal envejeció este comic, y como funcionó (o no) con gente bastante mayor a su público objetivo. Con música de Naomi Tamura, y GFRIEND. Próximo programa: Sopapo Oriental - Los Avisos Más Mortíferos Del Mundo (Parte II).

A Note from James:So the question is, I really feel that in order to get not good at something, but great at something, you have to be obsessed. You can't just wake up and decide to be obsessed—it has to be deep, almost irrational. Obsession is like addiction. It throws your life off balance, and yet... there's this insane joy when you enter the subculture of your obsession and get better at it.I've seen this recently in crypto. I saw it in chess in Norway, commenting on what might've been the best chess tournament ever. And I felt it again when I sat down with Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam from New In Chess.We didn't just talk about chess. We talked about obsession, aging, failing at something you love, and trying to find your place in a subculture that's moved on without you.If you care about learning, obsession, or just love chess, you're going to get something out of this episode. Dirk and I recorded this in Stavanger, Norway. I hope you love this conversation as much as I did being a part of it.Episode Description:What does it mean to return to your first love after nearly 30 years away? In this special crossover episode, James Altucher sits down with Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam, editor of New In Chess magazine, to reflect on his lifelong (and recently rekindled) obsession with chess. They explore how obsession shapes mastery, why wisdom sometimes trumps raw skill, and what it's like to try and reclaim an old identity as an older version of yourself.James opens up about losing games to kids half his age, obsessively chasing improvement, and why it still might be okay to fail—as long as the journey is honest. From teenage blitz tournaments to dinner with Garry Kasparov, from neuroscience to narrative writing, this episode is as much about how to live as it is about how to play.What You'll Learn:Why obsession is both a superpower and a dangerHow James approaches relearning chess after a 27-year breakWhat changes in the brain as we age—and how to work with itThe surprising ways chess opens doors in life, business, and writingWhy storytelling and vulnerability matter more than "success" aloneTimestamped Chapters:[00:00] The Power of Obsession[01:00] Travel Tales: Norway and Crypto[03:00] Chess Commentary and Podcasting with Dirk Jan[05:00] Dirk Jan's Intro on James Altucher[08:00] James' Curiosity and Love of Learning[10:00] Starting Chess at 17 and Becoming Addicted[13:00] Losing to Irena Krush and Facing Limits[17:00] Chess, Ego, and Real-World Consequences[22:00] How Chess Skills Apply to Business Problems[26:00] Writing as a Path Through Vulnerability[33:00] Returning to Chess: Memory, Aging, and Rediscovery[37:00] Eric Rosen, Coaches, and Mental Decline[41:00] Pattern Recognition vs. Calculation[47:00] What Makes Chess Players Unique[50:00] Interviewing Kasparov, Judit Polgar, Hikaru[56:00] Obsession and the Myth of Talent[58:00] Will the Book Get Written?[60:00] The James Altucher Invitational[62:00] Reflecting on the JourneyAdditional Resources:

It's up to you to discover the truth."Ja: ひかるとゆうきは、像を安全に戻し、ひかるの名声は高まった。En: Hikaru and Yuki safely returned the statue, and Hikaru's reputation grew.Ja: ゆうきは少し考え直し、「時には冒険も悪くないかもしれないな」と認めた。En: Yuki reconsidered a bit and admitted, "Maybe adventure isn't so bad once in a while."Ja: ひかるは新たな自信を得て、知られざる真実を解き明かすことの楽しさを味わった。En: Hikaru gained new confidence and enjoyed the thrill of uncovering unknown truths.Ja: そして、いつもの渋谷の賑わいも違って見えるようになったのだった。En: And the usual hustle and bustle of Shibuya started to appear different to him.

31-year-old GM-elect Mark Heimann is an accomplished research scientist by day, and avid powerlifter, who has recently been making headlines in the U.S. chess scene during his work vacation time. In late 2024, Mark went on a stunning run where he earned GM norms in back-to-back tournaments in order to clinch the GM-title, less than 3 years removed from being an inactive FM. These experiences were highlighted by playing on the top boards in Charlotte and St. Louis, playing GM Fabiano Caruana twice, and even hearing his game dissected by GM Caruana on the C-Squared podcast. Mark joined me to explain what he thinks has led to this incredible chess breakthrough, and to answer a question that GM Anish Giri recently tweeted- “Who is Mark A.

Peter Doggers is an award-winning chess journalist who is currently the director of News and Events at Chess.com. His role has given him a ringside seat to modern chess history, as he has attended many of the world's top events, and interviewed the likes of GM Garry Kasparov, Hikaru Nakamura, and countless others. Peter's new book, The Chess Revolution: From the Ancient World to the Digital Age covers everything from the beginnings of chess, to its many representations in pop culture, to the explosion in popularity the game has experienced in the internet age. Peter's excellent book covers chess from all angles, so we zeroed in on a few of my favorite topics from the book including: the history of chess and computers, recent stories around chess cheating, and their implications for the future of chess, the rise of Chess.com, and the story behind the making of Peter's book. Every chess fan will learn something from Peter's book, and I greatly enjoyed discussing it with him.

On September 6, almost two years to the day after their fateful game at the Sinquefield Cup, Magnus Carlsen and Hans Niemann will meet at Chess.com's Speed Chess Championship. They will play in front of an audience in Paris, France.  Joining me to discuss the history of this feud, and the details of this match is popular commentator, YouTuber and Twitch streamer GM Ben Finegold. Does Hans have a chance given his impressive play lately? Since Magnus has been refusing to play Niemann, is there a chance that Magnus won't show up to the match? What openings might we expect?  We dive into these questions and many more in our conversation.  All the information you need about the match is here: https://www.chess.com/events/info/2024-speed-chess-championship Thanks to our sponsors Chessable.com!
