Megan Thee Stallion Will Drop An Anime Series On Amazon Prime Video
Leon Bennett/FilmMagic, GETTY/ Studio Bones
One of the highest-profile musicians in the world, Megan Thee Stallion, will branch into a new form of media soon enough, and Amazon Prime Video will help her do it.
Stallion spoke at a panel at DreamCon in Houston, dressed up in Yoruichi Shihōin from Bleach cosplay, announced that she would have an anime series released on Amazon Prime Video. "You ain't never seen an anime like this ever in your life,' she said but offered no details other than the fact that she collaborated with The Boondocks' Carl Jones for the project.
Even with no details, it would not be safe to assume this will simply be a series that's a fictionalization of Stallion's life or music career. The reason all this is not as random as it sounds is the fact that Stallion is a huge anime fan, from her outfits to her song lyrics to her extensive knowledge of the genre, which all led to the creation of this series, whatever it may be.
If there are no further details on the show, it's not clear how far off it may be if nothing is ready to be shared, not even a concept, much less footage. But the fact that Stallion was making an anime series was revealed seven months ago, so it may be somewhat far along in production.
I'm not sure what an anime that we've 'never seen like this in your life' may consist of, as that's a pretty broad range, but at the very least, we know this likely means a whole lot to Stallion, given her interest in the genre. Previously, she's said that My Hero Academia is one of her favorites, and she's cosplayed as characters from the show (see above).
There is skepticism in the anime community about the project coming from Stallion, where this would be a huge departure from her music career, but she has the resources to expand, and we'll have to see how this plays out. It's a little surprising that her show is landing on Amazon Prime Video rather than Netflix or Crunchyroll, as those two usually grab most animation/anime projects, but who knows what the behind-the-scenes reasoning may be for that.
It would be nice to have more details about this project, but it seems we'll have to wait a little longer for that.

Wife Accuses Husband of 'Guilt-Tripping' Her After Saying He Feels More Like a 'Roommate' Than Her Husband
The 44-year-old asked the internet if he handled the conversation correctlyNEED TO KNOW A man told his wife of seven years that she feels more like a roommate to him than a partner The 44-year-old asked the internet if he handled the conversation correctly People in the comments section agreed that he needed to communicate with his wifeA 44-year-old man worries he and his 42-year-old wife have grown too comfortable around each other. On Reddit, the man explained that they have been together for 10 years and married for seven. However, for the "last year or so," he's felt like they've "been living parallel lives, coexisting in the same house but barely connecting.' "She comes home from work, immediately goes to the bedroom to scroll her phone or binge her shows, and I just... exist in the background," he writes. "I've tried initiating date nights, cooking dinners, even suggesting therapy, but it always ends with her saying she's 'too tired' or 'not in the mood.' " Recently, "after yet another night of her going to bed without even saying goodnight," he "finally broke down and said, 'I feel more like your roommate than your husband.' ' His wife "got really quiet, and then angry," accusing him of 'guilt-tripping her and being manipulative, and that she's the one who's been carrying the emotional burden of the marriage for years.' He was "shocked" by her response, as he believed he was the one putting all the effort into the relationship. 'She told me that if I feel like a roommate, maybe that's what I deserve, because I haven't been the man she 'signed up for.' I asked her what she meant, and she just said, 'You used to try harder. Now you just sulk.' I didn't even know what to say to that,' the man shares. After the fight, the poster left the house for a few hours to clear his head. When he returned, his wife acted like he "blew everything out of proportion." Still, he "can't shake the feeling that something deeper is broken between us." "I never meant to hurt her, I just wanted to tell her how I felt," he explains. "But now I'm wondering if I was being selfish for saying it like that." People in the comments agreed that he had every right to express how he was feeling, but urged the couple to have an honest conversation about their relationship. 'You just said how you felt and it clearly needed to be said. If the vibe is off for a year straight, someone's gotta speak up. That's not guilt-tripping, that's being honest. Sounds like y'all both feel unheard and it's catching up fast,' one person commented. 'Being honest about how you feel after a year of tension isn't guilt tripping, it's overdue. Holding it in just lets resentment build. At least the man is trying to have a real conversation instead of pretending everything's fine," another person added.
