Shirobako Twitter Account Posts About 'Unrelated' Movie Project

The official Twitter account of P.A. Works' Shirobako animeposted on Thursday that the team is "working on a movie," but clarified that it is unrelated to Shirobako. The post then adds that the movie project is starting to involve more people, and that it is tackling a different subject than the "TV version." The post does not clarify which "TV version" it is specifying.

The Shirobako anime premiered in October 2014. It centers on Aoi Miyamori, a production assistant in an anime studio, as well as four of her friends who all work on different aspects of the industry, such as animation, scriptwriting, voice acting, and CG animation. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan, and Sentai Filmworks licensed the series for home video release.

P.A. Works is currently working on the Kuromukuro original TV anime project as its 15th anniversary work. The series is slated to air this year. The studio is also animating the currently airing Haruchika – Haruta & Chika television anime series.

Fire Emblem Fates RPG's Western Release Will Not Have 'Petting' Feature

Fire Emblem Fates RPG's Western Release Will Not Have 'Petting' Feature

Feature allows players to "pet" party members to boost affection

---

Game news website Kotaku confirmed with Nintendo that the North American and European release of its Fire Emblem FatesNintendo 3DS game will remove the "petting" feature present in the game's original Japanese version.

The feature allowed players to "pet" one of their party member's face by rubbing on the screen or tapping on the stylus. Doing so would result in a minor boost in affection.

Nintendo recently revealed the removal of a controversial dialogue segment in the game relating to a character named Soleil, who gets flustered around women. In a conversation with the male protagonist he slips a "magic potion" into her drink without her knowledge, so she magically sees men as women and vice-versa. The idea was to help her "practice" around women, so when the potion wears off she is no longer distracted around them. At the end, she falls in love with the male protagonist.

Nintendo stated regarding the removed conversation that there will be "no expression which might be considered as gay conversion or drugging that occurs between characters," and confirmed that the game's same-sex marriage options will still be present.

Nintendo shipped Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright and Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest in Japan on June 25, and will release the games on February 19 in the West. The games are the first games in the franchise to offer a same-sex marriage option.

Mushibugyo Manga Changes New Character's Design, But Editors Deny Plagiarism

Shonen Sunday editors: manga creator Hiroshi Fukuda never heard of Girls Frontline game

---

The editors of Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine announced on Tuesday that the design for a new character in Hiroshi Fukuda's Jōjū Senjin!! Mushibugyō manga has been changed, after a Twitter post noted that this Mushibugyō character looks like one in the Chinese game app Girls Frontline (Shōjo Zensen). However, the editors denied the accusations of plagiarism and said that Girls Frontline is a "foreign game with a title that the author Hiroshi Fukuda had never even heard of."

"Phantania," a Twitter user self-described as a Chinese student working on Girls Frontline'sdevelopment while studying abroad in Australia, noted the similarities in a January 12 Twitter post. That post has since been deleted:

The design of Girls Frontline's Moselle Kar98k character (shown at left) debuted on August 7, 2015, while the design of Mushibugyō's Onmyō Karakuri Shikigami character Iyo (shown at right) debuted in the manga on January 6, 2016.

The Weekly Shonen Sunday editors stated:

A few days ago, it had been pointed out to us that a new character in Mushibugyōmanga bore some resemblance to a character in a foreign game with a title that the author Hiroshi Fukuda had never even heard of. It is not the intent of the author or the editors to promote unnecessary misunderstanding for this series' long-time fans, so as of the ninth issue, the character design has been changed.

Fukuda serialized the original Mushibugyō manga from 2009 to 2010, and Shogakukan compiled and published three book volumes. Fukuda launched his new Jōjū Senjin!! Mushibugyō manga, which revamps the basic story, in 2011. Shogakukan shipped the 22nd compiled volume earlier this month. The television anime adaptation premiered in 2013.

As you grow stronger together, so do the bonds binding you to each other.

Rurouni Kenshin & Bastard!! Creators Design Alternate World Fantasy Anime Endride

Kensho Ono, Toshiki Masuda star in April anime set in world beneath Earth's surface, with smartphone game also planned

---

The official website for Endride — the new anime and smartphone game project with original character designs by Bastard!! manga creator Kazushi Hagiwara and Rurouni Kenshin mangacreator Nobuhiro Watsuki — opened at midnight on Thursday.

The story is set on Endra, an unknown world beneath the surface of Earth itself. It is another world, where the giant Adamas shines above and seven-colored bands drift across the skies.

One day, Shun Asanaga — an ordinary yet positive and bright 15-year-old middle school boy who lived in the "Land Above" — lands in this place. He had discovered a mysterious crystal at his scientific businessman father's company, and the moment he touched the crystal, he was transported to Endra.

He meets Prince Emirio, who strongly despises the current King Deruzain and had just turned 16 at Endra's castle. He became of age to ascend to the throne, and he wields a weapon to seek his vengeance at last, but the difference in strength proves to be insurmountable. Captured and imprisoned by Deruzain, Emirio is heartbroken. But then, the walls of the prison suddenly become distorted, and Shun appears within them.

Two youths live in Endra — one to return his former world, and one to exact revenge. The future that is within the grasp of two youths raised in different worlds …

The 24-episode series will premiere in April on NTV and other channels. Keiji Gotoh (Kiddy Grade,Sengoku Collection) is directing the anime at the studio Brains Base (Natsume's Book of Friends,RIN-NE). Touko Machida (Show By Rock!!, Lucky Star, The IDOLM@STER) is in charge of the series scripts. Watsuki designed Shun Asanaga, while Hagiwara designed Emirio.

The cast includes:

• Kensho Ono as Shun Asanaga
• Toshiki Masuda as Emirio Ranguhaimu
• Karen Miyama as Arishia
• Ayaka Ohashi as Fararion
• Hiroki Takahashi as Demetorio
• Kousuke Toriumi as Erujuia

The accompanying Endride ~X fragments~ smartphone game features Hagiwara and Watsuki on original character designs, the illustrator Hidari (Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk), and scenario writer Takumi Miyajima (Tales of the Abyss). The game will begin accepting pre-registration of users in April, and will formally launch this year.

Ono, Miyama, Ohashi, Takahashi, and Toriumi will appear at an "NTV April Season Anime EndridePre-Broadcast! Special Stage event at the Anime Japan 2016 convention on March 26 at 12:20 p.m. The event will introduce the project, host a talk between the cast, run a promotional video, hold a segment on the game, and other elements.

Naruto spinoff novels center on Itachi's past

---

The Naruto stage program held at the Jump Festa event on Saturday in Tokyo announced that theItachi Shinden (The True Legend of Itachi) spinoff novels will get a TV anime adaptation starting in spring 2016. The official Naruto Movie Twitter account confirmed the news.

TV Tokyo revealed a main visual for the anime featuring the text "In Spring 2016, the Truth arc starts."

TV Tokyo also revealed that the title of the anime will be Naruto Shippūden: Itachi Shinden-hen ~Hikari to Yami~ (Naruto Shippūden: The True Legend of Itachi Volume ~Light and Darkness~).

Shueisha released author Takashi Yano's Itachi Shinden novel in two parts. The Itachi Shinden: Kōmyō-hen (The True Legend of Itachi: Glory Volume, pictured below left) novel shipped on September 4, and the Itachi Shinden: Anya-hen (The True Legend of Itachi: Dark Night Volume, pictured below right) novel shipped on October 2.

Amazon described the first novel as follows:

Itachi Uchiha, age four. After seeing what occurs on the battlefield up close, he makes a certain decision. He decided that he would change the world. The dream that Itachi aimed for. His dream: A Hokage from the Uchiha clan, and a future where those he loved could live in peace. His time in the ninja academy, his meeting with Shisui, becoming a Genin, Chunin, and finally a member of the Anbu... Itachi ran straight down a path of glory, not knowing that a cruel darkness was spreading...

This is the story of the glory, frustration, and determination of the ninja called a genius.

And it described the second novel as follows:

Along with his sworn friend Shisui, Itachi undertakes an assassination mission to take out spies in order to join the Anbu. In addition, the rivalry between the Uchiha clan and the village becomes even more furious, and it finally causes the death of a friend. Having lost all hope in his clan and village, along with gaining a new eye and making a certain decision, Itachi walks into the night of tragedy. The kind yet cruel truth of the dream and hope he left to his brother... is revealed here.

Itachi Shinden and Sasuke Shinden were the first two installments in the Naruto Shinden (NarutoTrue Legend) novel series. Sasuke Shinden (The True Legend of Sasuke) shipped in November.

Shueisha previously published six Naruto epilogue novels earlier this year: Kakashi Hiden, Shikamaru Hiden, Akatsuki Hiden, Gaara Hiden, Sakura Hiden, and Konoha Hiden.

Viz Media has licensed the first three epilogue novels — Kakashi Hiden, Shikamaru Hiden, andSakura Hiden — for English release in North America.
