2021 Daytime Emmy Nominations for Animation

Marvel's Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings

Watch the brand new trailer for Marvel Studios’ "Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings" and experience it only in theaters September 3.

▶ Watch the Trailer

Shang-Chi is a skilled martial artist who was trained at a young age to be an assassin by his father Wenwu. Shang-Chi left the Ten Rings organization for a normal life in San Francisco, with director Destin Daniel Cretton characterizing Shang-Chi as a fish out of water in the U.S. who attempts to hide that with his charisma. Shang-Chi's struggles with identity are the core of the character, rather than his martial arts skills.

Super Cub Is the Most Underrated Anime of 2021

SUPER CUB

The series is set in the Mukawa area of Hokuto in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan. The story follows Koguma, a lonely high school girl with no hobbies or interests. After an encounter with a Honda Super Cub 50, she begins to grow and her world expands beyond herself. 

"No Giant Robots, No High Tech Gadgets, No Martial Arts, No Swords, No Guns, No Magic, No Explosions,

No Violence of Any Kind... 

And Yet, This is the BEST ANIME of 2021 (so far)."

- anim8trix

Super Cub is the most underrated Spring 2021 anime, and we want to fix that in this Super Cub review. In the Super Cub anime, Koguma gets a motorcycle and it changes her life forever. Super Cub has stunning animation, sound design, and voice acting, and it's a beautiful slice of life anime with a relaxed pace.

The Detective Is Already Dead (2021)

The Detective Is Already Dead

Based on the light novel "Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru." written by Nigojuu and illustrated by Umibouzu (published by Media Factory under MF Bunko J) is finally getting an anime adaptation. The 2nd trailer released featuring the ending theme song "Kodō" (Heartbeat) by a V-artist "Kagura Nana".

▪ SYNOPSIS I, an ordinary high school student, Kimizuka Kimihiko, a crisis-magnet, was appointed to take care of mysterious attache cases by mysterious men in black suits. After meeting a beautiful angel-like detective girl, named Siesta in a hijacked plane, I became her assistant.

And from there– [You deal with the beehive, and I’ll restrain the enemy.] [Don’t make plans that make me the victim.]

We had those kinds of foolish conversations. Sometimes when we saved money at a casino, we would jump around on the beds at a resort hotel, only to be broke again the next day. We would walk through deserts, traverse through jungles, conquer mountains, cross oceans– The great detective and her assistant would go through these dazzling adventures–

Until she died.

And this story starts after that incident. I’m the only one who’s left, but I carry on her remained wishes. This story is far from over...
