That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Tears of the Azure Sea is now streaming on Crunchyroll. The film is available with Japanese, English, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Castilian Spanish, Italian and Russian audio, along with subtitles in multiple languages, although the options offered may differ by region.


The standalone story takes place after the anime’s third season and follows Rimuru and his companions on a trip to a private resort island, where they become involved in a crisis connected to a mysterious undersea nation. Its streaming release gives viewers another way to watch the film following its February 27 Japanese opening and international theatrical run during April and May 2026.


Crunchyroll’s broad selection of dubbed and subtitled versions makes the latest Slime film accessible to audiences across several language markets. Viewers should check the film’s local Crunchyroll page, as catalog availability and individual language tracks are not identical in every territory.

GPTRACK50’s zombie action RPG Stupid Never Dies will launch worldwide for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam on October 21, followed by its Japanese release on October 22. Sega will co-publish and handle worldwide distribution for the game, which follows the timid zombie Davy as he battles through monster-filled dungeons in an effort to revive a frozen human girl named Julia.

The game is the first title from GPTRACK50, the Osaka studio founded by veteran producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi. Before establishing the company, Kobayashi worked on major Capcom franchises including Resident Evil, Devil May Cry and Dragon’s Dogma.

GPTRACK50 also released music videos for the game’s pop-punk opening theme, “Stupid Never Dies,” performed by Davy and Julia, and its ending theme, “Restless, Reckless, Never Die, Fearless,” performed by Davy. Both tracks are scheduled to reach Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify and other major streaming services on August 4.

The Ribbon Hero, a new anime film inspired by Osamu Tezuka’s classic Princess Knight manga, will premiere worldwide exclusively on Netflix on August 8. The production marks the franchise’s first new anime project in 27 years and gives international audiences immediate access to its latest reinterpretation of Princess Sapphire’s story.

Yuki Igarashi, whose animation credits include JUJUTSU KAISEN and Star Wars: Visions, makes his feature-length directorial debut with the film. The final trailer arrived alongside additional Japanese voice-cast details, including Saya as Sapphire, Seiran Kobayashi as Zirco, Koki Uchiyama as Velvet, Mayumi Shintani as Pine and Yoshimasa Hosoya as Rock.

Netflix describes the story as following Sapphire after the destruction of her kingdom, as she awakens as the Ribbon Hero and fights to prevent her new home from suffering the same fate. Although Netflix has confirmed a worldwide release, details about English dubbing and other localized audio options have not been announced.

My Hero Academia creator Kohei Horikoshi will return to Weekly Shonen Jump with Don’t Laugh, Shijima-san, a 61-page horror one-shot scheduled for the magazine’s combined Issue 37/38 on August 10. Described as a “boy-meets-girl horror” story, the manga will also feature a center color page.

The one-shot marks Horikoshi’s first manga published in Weekly Shonen Jump since My Hero Academia concluded in August 2024 after a decade-long run. Its horror premise represents a notable shift from the superhero action of his best-known series, offering readers an early look at a different creative direction for the artist.

Digital manga service Omoi will release Shinji Wada’s Delinquent Detective: Sukeban Deka in English for the first time this fall. The classic shojo crime thriller will be available digitally as an exclusive for Omoi Premium subscribers, giving English-speaking readers official access to a series originally serialized in Hakusensha’s Hana to Yume magazine from 1975 to 1982.

Sukeban Deka follows teenage delinquent Saki Asamiya, who is recruited to investigate crimes while armed with a metal yo-yo. The manga helped establish a tradition of action-focused stories about formidable school-age heroines, a lineage critics have connected to later series including Revolutionary Girl Utena and Pretty Cure. Its clearest documented modern connection is Kill la Kill, which drew on the imagery and legacy of Sukeban Deka’s live-action adaptations.

Omoi announced the license during Otakon alongside the addition of 54 Kodansha titles to its catalog. Together, the announcements expand the service’s selection while bringing an influential but previously unavailable shojo series to international readers.
