"Say You to Yoasobi Tue 'Shimono Hiro X Uchida Maaya' #21" featuring the voice actors Shimono Hiro and Uchida Maaya as the MC, was streamed at 10:00 PM, on September 14, 2021, on "ABEMA"'s "Anime Live Channel". During the broadcast, various food-related corners were held in conjunction with "Kuishinbou no Hi (lit. Gourmand Day)" on September 14. Some of the corners are a quiz where they guess which of the two choices has higher calories "Which is the high calorie", a talk regarding their memorial "food" "Memorial Food Talk", and a food report while avoiding the NG words "Food Report Challenge". ■ What's "the favourite school meal during the primary school time" of Shimono Hiro & Uchida Maaya? In conjunction with "Kuishinbou no Hi" on September 14, the broadcast started with Shimono and Uchida "Time to dig in" as they chew down on the Hamburg steak. The "Memorial Food Talk" was also held in the program due to the statement of "If we are talking about Gourmand, it must be the memorial of a food!". While the talk was livened up by the after-school food they had during their high school times, when asked about their "favourite school meal during the primary school time", Uchida answered "Fried Bread!" followed with a memory regarding the fried bread, which was "Fried bread is quite a rare school meal as it only serves during the special day. On that day also, they also provide milmake and melon bread, which make me enjoy my meal in delight". Shimono then talked about a warm memory with this teacher, "I believe it was during 4th grade that my teacher brought the mixture of salt and MSG and make riceball from the leftover rice. This has also caused a war in the class. That salted riceball is the school meal that I wanted to eat the most". In response to that, Uchida nodded with a soft expression and said "That was very nice! To think that a teacher had made that~". Both of them also talked about the regular "rock-paper-scissors" for the school meal among the primary school student, which are "The feeling of having to rock-paper-scissors to eat your desired food is almost gone right", "A lot of efforts were used (during the meal time) isn't it?". For the theme of "Guilty food that was eaten at midnight", both of them keep raised their hands as they revealed the midnight gourmet, such as "There is no other choices other than the cup noodle!", "There is also potato chips. Time to have a party", and "There is also the beef bowl after drinking alcohol!". ■ The continuous retorts toward the unique (!) food reports of Shimono Hiro & Uchida Maaya In the second half of the program, the corner "Food Report Challenge" was held, where they conduct a food report while avoiding the 3 NG words. First was Uchida who challenged on the food report for omelet rice. Toward Uchida special food report, such as "This has the same taste as everyone's ideal omelet rice~ That why's all of you understand the taste right? The omelet has the perfect taste~. It is as if it was emphasizing that it's the 'King of Omelet Rice'.", Shimono burst out in laughter while holding his stomach and said "I love this food report a lot". Uchida also managed to avoid saying the three NG words, which are "Happiness, liked by everyone, and winner". Next was Shimono's food report on spicy prawns. Shimono conducted the food report saying "At first glance, they seem to have quite a strong taste, but the dish actually has a gentle taste." while appealing himself to the camera, such as "I, who you think is digging in with the chopstick" and "How about me drinking water?". Toward this food report that was filled with a service shot, Uchida retorted with "His emphasize is too strong! Is this a fan club video?". In the end, Shimono managed to avoid the NG words, but he gave his explanation saying, "I afraid of saying the NG words! That's why I am unable to say it was delicious normally" as he stood out more than spicy prawns. After that, both of them challenged the food report on the cream puff and curry bread. Uchida conducted the food report in a gyaru-style, while Shimono conducted it again while focusing on the fan service. This was a corner that you can enjoy the unique food report. ▼ "Say You to Yoasobi Premium 'Shimono Hiro X Uchida Maaya' #21" with limited footage, such as the after talk, is available only on "ABEMA Premium". ※"ABEMA Premium" is priced at a monthly fee of 960 JPY, and it is a premium plan that helps you to enjoy "ABEMA" more.

The voice actor variety program "Say You to Yoasobi Tuesday 'Shimono Hiro X Uchida Maaya' #20" was streamed from 10:00 PM to 11:30 PM, on September 7, 2021, on ABEMA "Anime LIVE Channel". This broadcast featured Shimono and Uchida challenging various console games. For this broadcast, instead of the usual stage set, Shimono and Uchida appeared in a relaxing manner with the legless chair and cushion. The first game that they played was the "Clubhouse Games™: 51 Worldwide Classics" that consists of a total of 51 games, from the standards games to minor games. Both of them will try out a few games while competing with each other, and the winner is the one with the most wins. After playing "Toy Tennis", "Toy Curling", "Matching", and "Four-in-a-Row", Uchida didn't win against Shimono in any games as Shimono is having a consecutive winning. In the next game "Air Hockey", both of them were evenly matched and their shout of "Oh My God" and "What!?" had hyped up the competition. In the end, Uchida managed to make the winning score, and she showed a bright smile while holding up the cushion and said "Finally! I had won!" as she managed to get her first victory. However, Shimono won the final game, "Speed", making this an overall victory to Shimono as the final score was 5 to 1. The next game was the 2D action game, called "Mess Adventure", which is said to be a "beginner killer" as it is filled with unexpected traps. Toward this irrational game, where they will lose immediately if they activated the traps, such as falling due to the hidden block and getting stabbed by the thorn due to the bouncy floor, Shimono and Uchida mentioned "Huh!? Come on~" and "Is there even such thing!?" while fainting in agony. Both of them progressed through the game slowly while being afraid of the sudden traps, but the play time for the game has ended. Then, it seemed like they got addicted to the mysterious charms of this game and said "It was quite interesting!" and "It gives you the feeling of 'what will happen'!" as if they got used to the anxious and tricky mechanism. After that, they played "Cake Bash", where they challenged various mini games while being sweets. The point of this game is to become the cutest and most delicious sweets by buying the toppings with the coins obtained from winning the mini games. For this game, they were split into two teams, which are Shimono & Uchida Team and staff team as they have a 2 vs 2 competition. Both of them were healed by the cuteness of the sweets characters, but once the game started, they showed off their gaming personality by saying "Ora Ora Oraaaa" and "Let me pay you back!" as it has become a mess since they attacked their opponents. Shimono had retorted toward Uchida, who forgot the purpose of this game and focused on disturbing her opponents, by saying "Maaya you forgot the purpose of the game!" and "This is not a cake war!" in various scenes. Then, the both of them, who had forgotten about the time due to the fun game, said "It's quite fun playing party game with everyone, right?" and "I want to play it one more time!" as they looked back toward the broadcast. "Say You to Yoasobi Tuesday 'Shimono Hiro X Uchida Maaya' #20" is currently available on ABEMA. (C) AbemaTV,Inc.

“Let’s Become a Novelist” anime (a.k.a. “Narou”) is one of the popular genres in recent years. Multiple Narou anime are being broadcast every cour and keep providing enjoyment to many fans. At the same time, some of you may not be familiar with Narou-type works. This article is an introduction for all people to learn about Narou novels and anime. “Narou” comes from a novel sharing website “Narou” originally comes from a website for amateurs to publish their novels called “Shousetsuka ni Narou” (“Let’s Become a Novelist” in English), and “Narou” is the general term to describe the work originally coming from the website. There have been multiple stories published from this website in various genres and one popular genre is about “the protagonist accidentally reincarnates into another world and starts a new life”. Therefore, a work with the similar plot is also called “Narou”. “Narou” is also known to be “reincarnation” genre and the novels and manga of this genre are also being published from other publishers, so the “reincarnation genre” is a larger term than “Narou”…”Narou” is just the part of the entire “reincarnation genre”. Now, we will introduce the uniqueness and charms of “Narou” with reincarnation of the characters. Uniqueness and Charms of Narou works The uniqueness of Narou is in the structure of the story. The story often takes place in a fantasy world imitating the middle age in Europe, and the story often begins with an accident or illness that kills the lead character in the real world. The dead protagonist is reborn in another world with the knowledge from the modern world and there they fight with villains , spend a relaxing life or redoes their life in a different way than the way they lived before. The setting of the protagonist varies from work to work, but many protagonists seem to work hard to redo their life to get rid of regrets or boredom that they felt in the previous life, which came from the fact they could not live their life smoothly. For example, the protagonist of “Jobless Reincarnation: I Will Seriously Try If I Go to Another World” is a 34-year-old jobless man, who stayed in his room for over 20 years and is accidentally killed by a truck, after being kicked out from his home by his brothers after the funeral of his real father. With his regret in the previous life, he begins to live a new life, while overcoming the trauma. Moreover, there are novels that rearranged the popular flow of the story. The protagonist of “Konosuba: God’s Blessing on this Wonderful World” is at the mercy of the other characters as an ordinary adventurer. The “Re:Zero-Starting Life in Another World” adds a “loop” factor to the ordinary reincarnation and there are many other edits to the ordinary plot. Some protagonists reincarnate into nonhuman beings, including a spider and slime, in works like “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime” and “So, I’m a Spider, So What?”, and they also struggle and grow up through new life experiences. Many characters reborn in the world of a game that they have previously played before or the world of swords and magic that you can find in an RPG, and they often receive special skills. The protagonist combines their unique skills and knowledge from the modern world to live their life easier. For example, in “OVERLORD”, when the protagonist thought that his favorite VRMMOPRG’s service was over, the protagonist was reborn as a character in the game and begins an easy life with add-on items in addition to his knowledge about the game itself. It is not true that all reincarnated characters do fight in the works; some protagonists, who suffered from overwork in the previous world, begin to spend a slower life in another world or some reborn as a villainess of a girls’ game. There are still many patterns in one genre. One charm of Narou novels is that it cures the negative feeling with the modern world, such as despair and broken heart, by reincarnating into another world. It is common that the Narou protagonists do have regrets and the experience of failure in the previous life from the modern society, and this makes the readers relate to them easier, compared to just throwing them into the fantasy world of swords and magic. Moreover, it may be easier for the readers to understand the plot, since the popular flow of the genre itself is already built up. If there is a popular plot to the genre the readers also can enjoy the flow with little change added to it. Narou anime will continued to be produced in the future The momentum of Narou anime seems to continue. There are already multiple Narou animes being scheduled in the upcoming seasons and here we will introduce 3 anime from the 2021 summer season (starting from July 2021). “Drugstore in Another World: The Slow Life of a Cheat Pharmacist” “The protagonist Kirio Reiji was living a life of working late every day suddenly reincarnates to a forest in another world. With his skills , he continues to produce recovery drugs and begins to live a slow life with freedom, while running his own drug store. “Tsumichi: Moonlit Fantasy” An ordinary male high school student Misumi Makoto is suddenly summoned to another world. There, he is insulted for his ugliness by a goddess and the goddess sends him to the barren area after taking away the class of hero. Makoto survives strongly in the barren area together with nonhumans, including Orcs and Dwarfs. “How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom” After the protagonist Souma Kazuya lost his grandfather, who was his only family member, he suddenly gets summoned to another world as the hero Soma. With his logical thought and knowledge of the modern world, Some begins to propose new laws and rebuilds the kingdom together with unique members. Narou anime will be produced in upcoming seasons, and there are wonderful titles in the season after this summer, so check these out in addition to the 3 anime above. “In the Land of Leadale” Kagami Keina dies after her life-saving machines accidently stop, which she had to use after being involved in an accident. She then reincarnates to the world of 200 years after VRMMOPRG “Readale”, the game that she played before. She earns a new life as Cayna, the high elf of the lost skills, and goes on a journey with her mates. “The Eminence in Shadow” A boy, who wishes to live in the world of darkness-not as a hero nor the last boss-, accidentally dies and reincarnates to another world with magic. He decides to live as an eminence in shadow, but when he discovers that there is a bad religious group, he creates an anti-association group to go against them. “The World’s Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat” After the best assassin of the world finished his last job before retirement, he was killed by his mates to keep the secrets of the association. He is then reincarnated by a goddess and ordered to assassinate the hero in another world.. He uses his assassination skills and knowledge from his previous life to murder the hero, who is said to destroy the world after taking down the demon lord. Narou works are growing in scale, but there is diversity among the works and anime. This genre is a great group to keep an eye on, since there might be a new work with outstanding ideas and story plots.

The much-talked-about puppet anime "PUI PUI Molcar" will be released on Blu-rays&DVDs on July 28, 2021. This time, they thought ‘the audio commentary of over 30 minutes for the entire episode was not enough!’ so, it was suddenly decided to include additional dialog interview footage on the Blu-rays. At the same time, a comment video has arrived from director Misato Tomoki and production staff Sato Katsura, who have just finished the recording. “PUI PUI Molcar” was broadcast in January 2021 as the first TV anime series directed by a young and talented puppet anime creator Misato Tomoki. It is a short animation of 2 minutes and 40 seconds per episode that has been trending on Twitter since it was first aired and has made a huge impact in Japan and abroad. Even with the audio commentary for all 12 episodes as a video bonus for the software release, it is still a little over 30 minutes. There are many stories that can't be covered in this short amount of time ......, so at the suggestion of Director Misato, a dialog interview with Sato Katsura, a representative of the production staff, was realized. Director Misato was dressed as the annoying driver of DJ Molcar from the first episode, while Sato was dressed as a bank robber from the second episode, and they talked about the difficulties and behind-the scenes stories of the production. In addition, a comment video from both of them after the recording has arrived. In the video, they also talk about the secret stories of the midsummer shooting and what director Misato paused to realize.
