> I went hands-on with *Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero* during Summer Game Fest, and I think it’s going to be the perfect sandbox tool for hardcore Dragon Ball fans. It’s got a story mode that covers the manga’s iconic narrative, a vast cast of characters to use in satisfyingly bombastic brawls, and a Custom Battle mode that will let players create the battle scenarios of their dreams. > *Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero* launches on October 11 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.

The 90’s dub also altered LGBTQ+ storylines with Sailor Neptune and Uranus, originally written as lovers, to be depicted as cousins.

> Ninja Kamui is a new weekly anime on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim programming block. As per MyAnimeList, Ninja Kamui has already surpassed the ratings of Demon Slayer. And seeing its speed, it would be safe to assume that the coming weeks might show the series at the top position on the chart, surpassing the other popular titles, including Attack on Titan and Jujutsu Kaisen. > It’s already jumped ahead of Attack on Titan on IMDb’s list of the most popular TV shows right now, placed at 81st ahead of the former at 85th. > Ninja Kamui premiered on February 11, 2024. The anime will run for 12 episodes, but fans are already curious to know if the series will return with a second season. Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1’s director Sunghoo Park is involved in the project, and it’s set to be one of the biggest animes of 2024.

> *Ninja Kamui* doesn’t waste any time getting from zero to 100. Within five minutes of its first episode, a bespectacled salaryman is ambushed by a flurry of projectile needles and attacks thrown by a dozen or so armored assailants, bobbing and weaving with uncanny precision as he counters each of their strikes before being viciously beheaded by a sneering brute with dreadlocks. It’s a strong first impression for the first original series from director Sunghoo Park following his work on *Jujutsu Kaisen*, one that boldly spells out *Ninja Kamui*’s declaration of intent with bloody and balletic finesse. In an anime season packed with strong premieres, *Ninja Kamui* positions itself as an action anime worth keeping an eye on.

> Adult Swim's official adaptation of Junji Ito's *Uzumaki* has arguably been their most promising project to date, yet fans have been left wondering what happened to it after numerous delays. *Uzumaki* is widely regarded by fans as Junji Ito's magnum opus for its hauntingly beautiful artwork and ambitiously creepy storytelling. Adult Swim announced an official animated adaptation of the story that would be faithful to Ito's story and artistic style. However, years have passed with no word on when it will finally be released. > As of 2024, *Uzumaki* has been indefinitely delayed with no official release date. This disappointing, yet understandable, news officially broke in 2022 when the official social media for the anime announced that *Uzumaki* was being delayed again for a good reason: to mirror the quality of the manga it's based on. There have been occasional glimpses at the process of creating the show made over the past two years, with the most recent update coming in the form of [completed animation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRrqvjjKlOs) on Adult Swim's YouTube channel to tide fans over.

> Ninja Kamui premieres February 10th @ midnight on Toonami on Adult Swim. https://www.polygon.com/anime/24047040/ninja-kamui-trailer-premiere-date-adult-swim-max > Adult Swim shared a new trailer for *Ninja Kamui*, the new anime series from *Jujutsu Kaisen* director Sunghoo Park, on Saturday. The original series follows Joe Higan, a former ninja who is nearly killed by his clan after fleeing to rural America with his family. Surviving the attempt on his life, Joe re-dons his identity as “Ninja Kamui” to embark on a campaign to avenge his family. Basically, it looks like *John Wick* but with ninjas instead of hitmen, and it looks killer. > The trailer is impressive, with fast-paced sword fighting juxtaposed with explosive action and generous geysers of gushing blood. *Ninja Kamui* is the first original production from E&H production, the anime studio Park founded in 2021 during the production of *Jujutsu Kaisen season 1* and *Jujutsu Kaisen 0*. The series features original character designs by Takashi Okazaki, the artist and writer behind *Afro Samurai*. > In 2022 Park left MAPPA, the anime studio behind *Jujutsu Kaisen*, to work at E&H production full-time. Following Park’s departure, *Jujutsu Kaisen*’s second season was directed by Shōta Goshozono, who previously worked as an episode director on *Ranking of Kings* and *Chainsaw Man*. > *Ninja Kamui* will premiere Feb. 10 on Adult Swim’s Toonami programming block, who will air both the English dubbed and subbed version of the first episode at 12 a.m. and 3 a.m EST respectively. The series will stream on Max the following day, with new episodes scheduled to release there following their debut on Adult Swim.

> Taking to social media, Toonami co-creator Jason DeMarco celebrated with the following message to fans "[Toonami] fans, tonight's [December 3rd] broadcast officially means the Adult Swim version of Toonami has aired longer than the Cartoon Network version. That's 11 years on the air, twice. We never imagined we'd still be running this block in 2023, waaaay back when we started it in 1997. Thank you to everyone who has watched, supported, argued with and come to see us at cons over the years. You made this all possible. Hopefully, we've given you some good memories in return, and at the very least, been a place where you could relax and kick up your feet." > > DeMarco continued, "This little block that could has made all of my dreams come true. And given me so many opportunities to do so many fun things, meet some of my creative idols, and be creative full time in a corporate world. Please know that no matter what version of Toonami you engaged with, the mission has always been the same: to make the absolute best cartoon block we could with the tools and budget at our disposal, whatever that might be in the shifting media landscape." > > DeMarco concluded with, "We hope you feel our passion and our sincerity, our love for the shows, the characters, the music, the games and everything else we broadcast. It's never wavered. Who knows how long Toonami can go, but no matter what, we did our damn thing. Nobody can argue with that. So until the sun sets (again) on a world without Toonami, we remain the first, and STILL the best. Only Toonami."
