If I know anything about One Piece, One Piece is the longest going anime and it has so many fans that could be compared to other anime like Dragon Ball. With the success of the recent movie One Piece Stampede, you would think Japan would slow down on the success of One Piece. However, you know what they say, keep the flames going! It’s been announced that Japan will be working on a One Piece TV special based on Eiichiro Oda’s project one-shot Romance Dawn. This is a second version of Romance Dawn where the story and characters are different in this One Piece world. Of course Luffy is still same rubber pirate, but in this version, the one who gave Luffy the Straw Hat was his grandfather, Garp, who is a captain of pirate crew and the characters he meets is a blue-haired girl named Ann and an antagonist named Spiel the Hexagon. This TV special is to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the anime. This anime special is currently going to be for Japan viewers.
There is another version of Romance Dawn but that one was released in 2008 at 40th JUMP Super Anime Tour. The name Romance Dawn is a prototype title in which was used for Eiichiro Oda when he was making One Piece.

Looks like Spidey won’t be leaving us anytime soon. This spider is here to stay! It’s been announced today that Sony and Disney has settled a deal on Thursday night that Spider-Man will remain in the MCu world with the Avengers. Sony Pictures chief Tom Rothman, Feige and Walt Disney Studios co-chairs Alan Horn and Alan Bergman both discussed about the future movies of Spider-Man and finding his place in the Marvel world and they both settled for an agreement. In the summer, Disney-Marvel wanted a 50/50 on the money earned from Sony instead of the proposed 5%. Now, Disney-Marvel agreed to 25% in which they will earn and they hold the merchandising rights. In addition to the deal, it’s been confirmed that they will be doing a third Spider-Man taking place after the events of Far From Home. This new Spider-Man movie will be in theaters July 16, 2021. Kevin Feige even hinted about Spider-Man appearing in Sony’s own Marvel universe such as Venom.
“I am thrilled that Spidey’s journey in the MCU will continue, and I and all of us at Marvel Studios are very excited that we get to keep working on it. “Spider-Man is a powerful icon and hero whose story crosses all ages and audiences around the globe. He also happens to be the only hero with the superpower to cross cinematic universes, so as Sony continues to develop their own Spidey-verse you never know what surprises the future might hold.”
Kevin Feige

Thank God it’s Friday! Welcome back for another Friday Funny episode starring yours truly. Today is an exciting day because of many reasons. Today is my niece’s first birthday and I am going to be celebrating her birthday this weekend! Besides this, I hope everyone has been doing well this week. This week been rough on me at my job. From cooking in the fryers to scrubbing down toilets, it’s been one heck of a week. To add on to this stress, the power went out at my place and I was very limited to technology. Overall, it’s been a battle for me. We are officially in fall and this means the weather is starting to cool down. It’s also the last Friday of September and once this weekend is over, we will be in the last three months of 2019. We’ll be in October and it’s the start if the spook seasons. If Halloween isn’t your hype, I hope the movie Joker is worth getting excited. Joker comes out on October 4th. As we close the chapter of September, I hope everyone had a good month. What was your highs and lows? What was the best moments and lowest moments of September from your experience? This month has been something. We had people going to Area 51 and someone did the Naruto run. Ash Ketchum won the Pokemon Alola Championship and we even got a Sans costume for a custom Mii for Super Smash Bros Ultimate.

I didn’t go to Area 51 to steal these memes, but I did my best to salvage something funny for your weekend!
It's a huge injustice that Squidward is considered a bad artist in-universe
Like this guy learns all kinds of art forms (presumably mostly self-taught) and all he uses those skills for is creating artworks of himself, what a power move pic.twitter.com/lYnHZkHErl
If One Piece Stampede and My Hero Academia Heroes Rising is not enough to satisfy your anime needs, maybe you need KonoSuba. Announced from Crunchyroll, Crunchyroll is teaming up with Fathom Events and Kadokawa and bringing the upcoming KonoSuba movie in theaters. The movie is called KONOSUBA – A God’s blessing on this wonderful world! – Legend of Crimson. This movie will be played in one night only on November 12th of this year. Here is the plot and trailer:
A video game-loving shut-in, Satou Kazuma’s life should’ve ended when he was hit by a truck, but through a twist in fate, he ends up reincarnating in another world–and dragging the goddess, Aqua, along with him.
“I’m going to enjoy the life of an adventurer that I’ve always fantasized about from RPGs! Time to be the hero!” But in spite of his enthusiasm, only trouble was waiting for Kazuma. Namely, the troublemaking goddess, Aqua; the wildly dorky mage, Megumin; and the unrelentingly delusional lady knight, Darkness. He ends up forming a party with these potentially powerful, but incredibly unfortunate individuals, which leads to deep debt, being tried for treason, slaying the Demon King’s generals, and occasionally dying (again).
Then, one day, the Crimson Demon girl Yunyun says something that makes the entire group freeze up: “I want to have your babies, Kazuma!” Upon hearing the details, it turns out that the Crimson Demon village that Megumin and Yunyun are from is facing a threat that could mean it’s ending. Kazuma and his gang follow Yunyun, who returns to the Crimson Demon village intent on saving it… when they are faced with their greatest threat yet! What will become of the unremarkable adventurer Kazuma’s life in another world?!
