‘Gachiakuta' is Mad as Hell and Ready to Trash Everything
Summer is here, and that means there's new anime for the season. For the shonen heads, there's returning fan favorites like Dan Da Dan and Kaiju No. 8, plus a new show by the name of Gachiakuta dropping next month.
Based on Kei Urana's ongoing manga, the series stars Rudo Surebec, a teenager living in the slums of the Sphere who comes home to find his foster dad dead. Charged and found guilty of murder, he's condemned to The Pit, a massive dump site below town that's home to criminals and anything else considered trash by the Sphere's wealthy class. A man named Enjin rescues Rudo and invites him to join the Cleaners, a group of people who create weapons out of objects they imbue with their power and use them to hunt monsters made of literal trash.
Rudo joins up with the Cleaners, mainly because he has dreams of making it back topside to get revenge on the Sphereites who dumped him to the surface. Gachiakuta is developed by Studio Bones, which helmed My Hero Academia and its current Vigilantes spinoff, and the contrast between the two shonen is so sharp. Rudo is so much more angrier than Deku, the pivot (and equally furious social commentary) may be enough to entice viewers to see what Bones does with darker material.
Gachiakuta premieres Sunday, July 6 on Crunchyroll, with respective opening and ending themes by Paledusk ('HUGs') and Dustcell ('Tomoshibi'). Global premiere events with advance screenings will be held before then on July 4 and 5 in several locations, including the US, Japan, and Brazil. You can find the locations here.

PH5 Resort 2026 Collection
PH5 is a young brand that's continually building out its product categories. As a result, every meeting we have feels a bit like Christmas. New reveals for resort include mesh tops, monochrome looks that play with opacity by combining mesh and knit, and reflective styles. Yet with this collection, designer Zoe Champion and founder and CEO Wei Lin did more than add SKUs, they took a step forward in terms of aesthetics. Having played with the idea of pressed flowers for fall, Champion continued to look 'at different forms of pressing and printing and ways to record something other than photographs.' She landed on the ancient Japanese art of gyotaku, where fishermen would ink fish and press them on paper to create prints. This provided the designer with a piscine theme. Its most literal iteration was a fish jacquard skirt. Opaque fish shapes that swim around the torso protect the wearer's modesty on mesh tops, while crochet fish barely did the same on deeply scoop-necked peplum tops that could be worn front to back for those in a more chaste mood. Iridescent sequins played with the idea of shimmering fish scales, as did heat-pressed rhinestones on mesh. Furthering the theme were engineered knits with Lurex that captured the glimmering surface of water, these feature tucks that were made in the process of knitting, which mimicked ripples. This was an effective extension and abstraction of the organizing theme. Collected on a sweater with novelty buttons was a spiral shell, a branch of seaweed, and the requisite fish. Paired with a solid knit mini this would be a neat take on the 'lady' suit; one that might even net Lin and Champion some new customers.

THE LEGEND OF ZELDA Movie Release Delayed, but Creator Shigeru Miyamoto Says It's Worth the Wait — GeekTyrant
The release of the highly anticipated The Legend of Zelda live-action movie just got pushed back, but it's not by much. Originally slated for March 26, 2027, the new release date is now May 7, 2027. That's a minor delay, and according to Zelda creator Shigeru Miyamoto, there's a very good reason behind it. He shared on X: 'This is Miyamoto. For production reasons, we are changing the release date of the live-action film of The Legend of Zelda to May 7, 2027. 'It will be some weeks later than the release timing we originally announced, and we will take the extra time to make the film as good as it can be. Thank you for your patience.' Look, fans have already waited a long time for this movie to happen, so a few more months isn't going to hurt. Also, they can take all the time they need to make sure this movie lands the way it should. If you've been following this project since it was first announced in 2023, you know there's a lot riding on it. After the Super Mario Bros. Movie exploded at the box office, Nintendo quickly realized the potential for adapting its other flagship franchises. Zelda was the obvious next move. Wes Ball ( Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes ) is directing, and he's already made it clear he's approaching this with reverence: 'I will go to the ends of the earth to make sure that it is the movie we all hope it will be.' He even described his vision for the film as feeling like a 'live-action Miyazaki' experience, which is a pretty bold and exciting creative north star. He also said: 'I know it's important, this [Zelda] franchise, to people and I want it to be a serious movie. A real movie that can give people an escape. That's the thing I want to try to create – it's got to feel like something real. Something serious and cool, but fun and whimsical." 'This awesome fantasy-adventure movie that isn't like Lord of the Rings, it's its own thing. I've always said, I would love to see a live-action Miyazaki. That wonder and whimsy that he brings to things, I would love to see something like that." "It's going to be awesome. My whole life has led up to this moment. I grew up on Zelda and it is the most important property, I think, that's untapped IP, if you will. Nintendo and Sony Pictures are co-producing the movie, with Derek Connolly ( Jurassic World ) writing the screenplay. The Legend of Zelda follows the adventures of a young hero named Link, who is often tasked with rescuing Princess Zelda and battling the malevolent villain Ganon.
