Big Bro is finished!

TV anime “ONIICHAN wa Oshimai!” (‘ONIMAI’) OP movie (creditless) / OP theme ‘Identity Tei-Tei Meltdown’ by Enako feat. P Maru-sama.

With its fresh, humor-packed premise, Onimai: I’m Now Your Sister! is an anime that follows the school life of a former shut-in who suddenly finds himself in the body of a middle school girl.

A cast of distinctive characters brings color to each unpredictable day.

The everyday moments of Mahiro—formerly male—navigating life as a girl are laugh-out-loud funny, while intertwining with a coming-of-age story about reassessing identity, making it a new kind of comedy.

The anime’s colorful world is rendered even more vibrantly on screen, gripping viewers’ hearts and never letting go!

It’s Time for “Princess-Sama’s” Torture

TV anime “It’s Time for ‘Torture,’ Princess” Season 2 Non-Credit Opening Video | ILLIT ‘Sunday Morning’

A princess captured by the Demon King’s army is subjected not to pain or terror, but to a super-chill “torture” full of food porn and temptations! Melty toast, late-night ramen, fluffy futons, cuddly puppies—you name it.

Watching the princess cave in within seconds to these impossible-to-resist torments is hilarious.

It’s a cozy take on life under soft confinement.

The Demon King’s side is inexplicably gentle and peaceful too, making it pure comfort.

Snappy, easy to enjoy, and the perfect heartwarming, feel-good gag series to lift your spirits on a tired day.

Oshi no Ko

Oshi no Ko, which fuses idols and suspense, is popular among high school students as an anime that captures a page of youth! Created by Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari, the original work vividly portrays both the light and shadow of the entertainment industry.

The protagonist’s struggle to uncover the mystery behind Ai Hoshino’s death lies at the heart of the story and powerfully shakes the viewer’s emotions—as if we ourselves were chasing the glow of our own oshi.

The opening theme’s massive hit is still fresh in our minds! It’s an outstanding series that I’d absolutely recommend to everyone from kids to adults.

Jujutsu Kaisen

TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen Non-Credit OP Movie / Opening Theme: Eve “Kaikai Kitan”

Serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump and adapted into an anime, Jujutsu Kaisen enjoys immense popularity among high school students! While its dynamic action and battle scenes are eye-catching, the mind games and the characters’ drama are just as unmissable.

In particular, the scenes where the protagonist Yuji Itadori faces off against curses are breathtakingly intense.

The theatrical film release also became a major topic of conversation.

With a story that tugs at your heart, you can’t help but get excited wondering what will happen next! Both the story and the characters are compelling—once you start watching, you won’t be able to take your eyes off it until the very end!

Apocalypse Hotel

TV Anime “Apocalypse Hotel” Non-Credit Opening | aiko “skirt”

This anime, based on a popular post-apocalyptic manga, follows the only hotel that remains “open for business today” in a quiet town after the world has collapsed.

In a place where no people should be, the sight of beings calmly carrying out their work is both poignant and beautiful, gently reminding us of the preciousness of everyday life.

Are the visitors survivors—or something else? Its atmosphere blends unease with warmth, and the more you read, the more it stirs your heart.

It’s a work that pierces not with flashiness but with lingering afterglow—a quietly addictive gem.
