BADGIRL anime release date confirmed for july 8 with new trailer, cast, and theme song
Get ready for a new high school comedy anime to take the world by storm—here's what you need to know.
A totally awesome, funny and fashionable new anime series debuts on Food Network television screens this summer! If you enjoy high school angst, off-beat personalities, and broad, satirical humor, this one's definitely worth checking out.
The series was recently announced to debut in Japan on July 8th, 2025, but a fresh new trailer was recently released with tons of buzz-worthy new info—fresh new cast members, a KILLER theme song, and so much more about the anime's story.
Here's a sneak peek at what BADGIRL is all about, who's involved, and why anime fans in the US and UK will want to watch this summer's upcoming release.
What is BADGIRL anime about? Plot overview for new fans
BADGIRL centers on Yu Yutani, an overachieving model student with the highest test scores and no record of trouble — until you peel back her layers.
Beneath that shiny façade, Yu harbors a secret desire to be a 'bad girl' in order to get the attention of her Class-77 crush, Atori Mizutori, the stern head of the academy's disciplinary committee.
What results is a laugh-out-loud comedy that's abundant with misunderstandings, awkward moments, and Yu's futile efforts to be the kind of rebel she absolutely won't be. Fans of anime such as Komi Can't Communicate, Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun, or Toradora! will most definitely appreciate BADGIRL's quirky ambitions and refreshing spin of the slice-of-life genre full of school romance and slapstick comedy.

Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha serve couple goals and chic fashion at the French Open in Paris
Parineeti Chopra and Raghav Chadha's stylish appearance at the French Open final in Paris has captured attention. Parineeti sported a chic white Zara co-ord set, consisting of a crochet shirt and matching shorts, complemented by understated accessories. The couple's coordinated outfits and effortless chemistry made for a memorable date night, as shared in Parineeti's Instagram post. Parineeti Chopra is living the summer dream, and we're all eyes. The actress recently flew to Paris with husband Raghav Chadha to attend the French Open final on June 8, and their courtside date turned into a total style moment. From holding hands to sharing effortless chemistry, the couple looked adorable and yes, Parineeti's outfit was a whole vibe. Parineeti chose a stunning white co-ord set that's basically a masterclass in summer dressing. She wore a breathable cotton crochet shirt with long sleeves, a lapel collar, and subtle tonal crochet appliqué that added just the right amount of detail. Paired with matching white shorts, her look was simple, monochrome, and seriously chic. Perfect for a day in the sun, especially when that sun happens to be shining over Paris. When it comes to accessories, Parineeti kept it polished but understated. She added oversized black sunglasses, a dark green bucket-style handbag for a pop of colour, and black shimmery flats that nailed the casual-glam balance. Her beauty look was equally refined: a matte base, nude eyeshadow, fluttery lashes, a hint of blush, and mauve lipstick. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo She left her hair loose in soft, shoulder-length waves with a relaxed side part.

Khushi Bharadwaj on playing a teen on the autism spectrum in Criminal Justice 4: It made me more aware of how overwhelming the world can feel
Khushi Bharadwaj Khushi Bharadwaj , known for her roles in Baalveer Returns, Tiku Weds Sheru, 36 Days, Gyarah Gyarah, and IC 814, is receiving positive feedback for her performance in Criminal Justice: A Family Matter . In the show, she portrays Ira, a teenager on the autism spectrum. Reflecting on the preparation that went into the role, the 17-year-old shares, 'Bringing Ira to life was quite a process. I spent around two weeks doing four-hour workshops every day to understand her world better. My acting coach, Sandeep Ghosh sir, was instrumental in helping me shape the character. I remember being really nervous during the first scene — I wasn't sure if I was getting it right. But gradually, I settled into the role. Playing Ira made me realise how overwhelming and confusing the world can sometimes feel for someone on the spectrum. It gave me a deeper sense of empathy and respect for their lived experience.' Khushi with Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in a still from Criminal Justice: A Family Matter Despite the demanding shoot, Khushi was also balancing her 10th-grade board exams. Asked how she managed academics alongside a complex role, she admits, 'It wasn't easy. I'd study during breaks on set and made sure to cover extra ground before shooting began. But I believe that when you truly care about both things — acting and studying — you find a way to make it work.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Grateful for the experience, she adds, 'I'd love to play a character like Ira again, if given the opportunity.

5 hidden locations fans hope return in GTA 6
Image via Rockstar Games The GTA series is no stranger to surprises. From cryptic messages on mountaintops to abandoned shacks deep in the woods, Rockstar Games has a reputation for filling its open worlds with hidden gems. Now, with GTA 6 on the horizon, fans are buzzing with speculation. While the second trailer confirmed the sprawling state of Leonida (a Miami-inspired landscape), many are secretly hoping Rockstar brings back some of the most iconic hidden locations from previous games, this time, reimagined for the next-gen era. Here are 5 hidden spots fans would love to see return in GTA 6 : 1. Bigfoot's Forest (GTA: San Andreas) San Andreas had many myths like UFOs, ghosts, and of course, Bigfoot. While Rockstar denied its presence in the original game, fans swore they saw something lurking in the shadows of Back o' Beyond. Rockstar later acknowledged the myth with actual Bigfoot missions in GTA V . Now, fans want a fresh version: maybe a deep swamp in Leonida with cryptid rumors, hidden trails, and supernatural hints. The Heart of Liberty City - Grand Theft Auto IV 2. The Heart of Liberty City (GTA IV) Remember the literal beating heart inside the Statue of Happiness? This bizarre Easter egg required players to break into the statue and climb a ladder to find a giant heart suspended by chains. It didn't serve a purpose, it was just…there. Eerie, confusing, and unforgettable. Imagine a modern version hidden in Vice City's landmarks, maybe the Leonida Lighthouse holds a few unsettling secrets of its own? 3. Area 69 (GTA: San Andreas) This top-secret military base was the stuff of legend. Area 69 wasn't just well-guarded, it housed UFO parts, alien autopsy rooms, and secrets behind locked doors. For GTA 6 , a new version could be hidden somewhere in Leonida's desert outskirts. Considering Rockstar's growing love for the paranormal, a high-tech, possibly still active base would be a dream return. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Topánky, ktoré si zamiluje každá žena Nakupovať teraz Undo 4. The Hidden Mine (GTA V) In the mountains north of Los Santos was an old, abandoned mine shaft. Most players passed it a hundred times and never noticed it. But if you blew open the entrance, you'd find a creepy old tunnel with a skeleton inside. GTA 6's Leonida seems to have diverse terrains, so, Rockstar could put an underwater shipwreck, or a submerged missile silo filled with lore and locked doors waiting to be explored. GTA Online: How To Find The Mount Gordo Ghost (Ghost Easter Egg) 5. Ghost of Mount Gordo (GTA V) A fan-favorite Easter egg, the ghost of Jolene Cranley-Evans appears on Mount Gordo between 11 PM and midnight in GTA V . Players found clues about her death and the killer through in-game articles and missions. Fans are hoping GTA 6 keeps this spooky tradition alive, maybe through haunted mansions, cursed motel rooms, or entire ghost towns hidden off the main map. As much as fans love the cars, chaos, and storylines, it's these hidden places that give GTA its mystique. They reward curiosity, spark theories, and add layers to the world. Because in GTA , it's not just about what's in plain sight…it's about what's lurking just around the corner.
