'Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice' Anime Will Hit Crunchyroll in 2026
Any video game fan who's dedicated hours to playing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice can now dedicate even more hours to watching its upcoming anime adaptation. Sekiro: No Defeat will arrive as a new streaming TV series on Crunchyroll in 2026, the anime giant announced Tuesday at Gamescom. Developed by FromSoftware, the critically acclaimed action game is set during Japan's Sengoku period and lets players assume the role of Wolf -- also known as Senkiro -- a shinobi charged with protecting a lord with divine lineage. Crunchyroll partnered with Kadokawa, and Arch to bring to life the anime version that will see Daisuke Namikawa voice Wolf, Miyuki Satou as Kuro and Kenjiro Tsudawhich voicing Genichiro Ashina. Kenichi Kutsuna is directing the series that will stream on Crunchyroll in the US and globally (excluding Japan, China, Korea, Russia and Belarus). "We are taking on the monumental task of animating the breathtakingly beautiful Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. In doing so, we are pouring every ounce of our artistic vision and passion for beauty into its production," said Kutsuna. "The final product is being crafted to be a truly memorable experience, one that will leave a lasting impression on both dedicated fans of the game and those who are discovering the world of Sekiro for the very first time. Please look forward to it." FS/Activision/KA/SNDP/Crunchyroll The story follows a young orphan Wolf, who is trained under Owl, a nomadic ninja who appoints him as Kuro's protector. Kuro is targeted as the last survivor of the Dragon Heritage bloodline, a lineage imbued with immortality through its deity, the Divine Dragon. During an attempt to flee, Wolf loses an arm in a fight against their main adversary, Genichiro. Throughout the fantasy adventure story, he gains a new name (Sekiro) and fights for honor, loyalty and his lord's fate. Newcomers unfamiliar with the tale of Sekiro can count on seeing masterful katana skills, action-packed combat scenes and magic when Sekiro: No Defeat hits screens next year.

What to Wear in Tokyo: A Style Guide to the Vibrant City
I'm a lucky girl: I get to call Japan my second home. Growing up, I spent Saturdays at Japanese school and summers in Tokyo. I loved the buzzing cicadas and the natsu matsuris during August, but learning what to wear in Tokyo in 100-degree weather while staying modest? Not so easy. I wanted to prance around in spaghetti straps, but my aunties preferred I keep skin exposure to a minimum. I turned to glossy fashion magazines to learn how to look stylish, modest, yet cool. Tokyo street style also proved to be a helpful source of inspiration. I quickly learned that loose silhouettes, high-quality fabrics, and an attention to details (think intricate accessories, chic patterns, etc.) is the way to go. Over the years, Tokyo has become one of the world's fashion capitals, albeit not yet one of the big four (New York, London, Milan, and Paris). As tourists now pour into Japan, the number one thing that sticks out to me is how visitors dress. Leggings, for example, may be accepted as pants in the West, but in Japan they're seen as undergarments. I know there's a lot to consider before visiting this beautiful country, but your wardrobe choices are an easy adjustment. I've pulled together a list of what to pack for Tokyo—so you can look chic while respecting Japan's unwritten fashion rules. Bold blouses In Japan, locals will often hide their shoulders, décolletage, or both. So long as you're avoiding low cut tank tops with thin straps, you're already off to a good start. The blouses below are beautiful styles that respect the Japanese fashion norms: They're trendy, stylish, and easy to assemble into various outfits. A loose fit invites tons of airflow so you won't fall victim to the unforgiving summer temperatures, either. Personality pants Here's one thing you'll never see on Japanese people: skinny jeans. I know, they're all the rage again in the Western world, but skin-tight bottoms are a big no-no in Japan. Instead, you'll see a sea of wide leg pants, balloon pants, barrel jeans—you get the gist. Not only do these pants trap less heat, but offer endless styling potential. Dapper dresses Contributor Bianca Kratky wearing a full-length dress in Japan Bianca Kratky Dresses are absolutely adored in Japan, but they're often styled more modestly—usually with full shoulder coverage or layered over a T-shirt. I, too, converted my open-back strappy dress by wearing a white tee underneath. I recommend packing a couple of shirt-dresses and long A-line dresses on your trip to Japan. One-pieces offer a one-and-done outfit that's easy to throw on while looking effortlessly elegant. Flowy skirts Skirts are a staple in Japan, and midi and maxi lengths reign supreme. While you'll find the occasional rebel in a mini skirt, the majority of women opt for knee- to floor-length silhouettes with voluminous shapes. They instantly elevate even a plain white tee, making any outfit feel photo-ready. Opt for a trendy bubble skirt or a classic poplin A-line shape for something that's easy to style. If you're feeling a little more creative, then this asymmetrical denim skirt takes the cake. Wardrobe basics Don't forget to pack a few basic pieces you can wear with anything. If you're feeling uninspired, the people in Japan will show you that a striped cardigan can be slung over an oversized white shirt, a statement necklace can dangle on a draped asymmetric T-shirt, and a crew neck long-sleeve can go under some comfy overalls. These basics serve as essential wardrobe pieces based on their versatility alone. Jackets and sweaters If your Japan trip is scheduled for the fall, you'd be wise to bring any of these jackets or sweaters along. It never gets too cold in Tokyo, but a light leather jacket, a trench coat, or maybe just a snug sweater will keep the chill out and win you extra style points. The options below are light and easy to pack, and add versatility to your travel wardrobe. Rich earthy tones like brown, beige, and burgundy are very popular in Japan, making these selects perfect for your next visit. Must-have accessories Kratky accessorizes a simple outfit Bianca Kratky The Japanese uniform formula? High-quality basics made better with outstanding accessories. Statement jewelry like this Heaven Mayhem necklace are really popular, as are silk scarves and classic watches. Accessories are a simple (and carry-on-friendly) way to switch up a look without bringing yet another shirt or pair or pants. Of course, you'll need a bag that goes with everything and can carry a considerable amount of items, like this Loeffler Randall woven shoulder bag.

What Copenhagen Queers Wore To Chappell Roan
Amalia, 24, references Chappell Roan with her glam make-up and graphic tee at Copenhagen's Syd for Solen music festival. Birgitte Fleischer Copenhagen is often referred to as one of the best-dressed cities in the world and continuously attracts visitors from across the globe seeking style inspiration. Names like Cecile Bahnsen, Henrik Vibskov, Han Kjøbenhavn and Stine Goya have been recruiting global fans to Copenhagen Fashion Week which has become a key contender for the coveted spot as the fifth most regarded fashion week after Milan, New York, London and Paris. Aside from its aesthetic outputs, Denmark is also regarded as one of the best places to be LGBTQ+, with its capital ranking as the second most queer and trans-friendly place on earth last year by Out Magazine . To document the wardrobes of queer Copenhagen residents, I attended one of the country's largest music festivals, Syd for Solen. The warm August day was a big deal for Denmark as it would mark Chappell Roan's first performance in the Scandinavian nation. The day's line-up would also include Irish artist CMAT and UK drag queen DJ Jodie Harsh. With these three LGBTQ+ names on the bill, the event was a destination for queer joy – and the outfits played a key role. Iris, 22, student. Birgitte Fleischer My photographer Birgitte and I quickly ran into a young group dressed for the occasion. Iris, a 22-year-old actor and performer was speaking to her younger sister. She's just about to start studying musical theatre at university. When I asked about her outfit she proudly shared that it was all secondhand, except for the tights, which were from a Danish brand she couldn't remember the name of. When asked about the thrift scene in Copenhagen she quickly brought up the prices being too high. 'Thrifting in Jutland [the mainland region of Denmark, comprised of smaller cities] is much better' she told us. 'These boots were 45kr [about $7 USD]. If I found them in Copenhagen they would be at least 450kr [about $70 USD].'. After photographing her, Iris grabbed her partner Ekko who coyly walked us through their outfit, sharing that most of the pieces were thrifted (they removed the sleeves of the shirt themselves), except the trousers which they took from Iris' mum. Ekko, 23. Birgitte Fleischer We next spotted Katrin due to her boxy denim jacket with small holes which had been lovingly darned. It belonged to her grandmother, she told us. Her hat featured an embroidered figure of Michael Laudrup, one of Denmark's top soccer stars. 'The bag? Oh, it's from Netto' (a chain of discount Danish supermarkets) Katrin laughed. Katrin, 37. Birgitte Fleischer Then we spoke to 23-year-old psychology student, Katrine. When I asked about why she chose her outfit for the day, she replied frankly, 'I didn't. My friends did'. She went on to share that her and her friends had decided to dress to the theme of 'queer office siren' but when she arrived at their place on the way to the festival, they thought her look didn't quite fit the bill and redressed her. She shared that she loved swapping clothes with her friends as it's a way to discover new styles she wouldn't normally go for in the shops. Katrine, 23, psychology student. Birgitte Fleischer As we headed over to catch some of Jodie Harsh's DJ set, we ran into friends Moanna and Maya. Moanna, who works as an organic farmer at Den Lille Mark (translating to The Small Field, located in Odense), shared that their outfit was mostly secondhand, but their bag was handmade by their friend. Maya, an anthropology student, shared that their look was also thrifted, aside from their top, which their partner made for her for the event specifically. Moanna, 27, organic farmer. Birgitte Fleischer Maya, 27, anthropology student. Birgitte Fleischer While waiting for our food, Nina and Emma caught our attention giggling with their fish and chips. The Danish-Nigerian sisters wore a combination of thrifted pieces and styles borrowed from the matriarchs of their family. 'The dress I took from my mum and the leather jacket is really old, it's from my grandma.' shared Nina. Emma, 19 (left). Nina, 23 (right). Birgitte Fleischer Nina wears her grandmother's leather jacket tied around ther bag, doubling as a holder for her cup. Birgitte Fleischer As Copenhagen Fashion Week shows were taking place just across town, fun-loving queers ditched the public progammes for an opportunity to come together and get dressed in the name of something bigger than latest Danish designer outputs. Syd for Solen's queer attendees demonstrated that getting dressed for one of the year's biggest events is very much a team sport. Or at least a great excuse to raid your mother or grandmother's wardrobe.
