High-Rise Invasion
Premiere: Feb 25th
The unhinged and gory death-game manga High-Rise Invasion, created by Tsuina Miura (Ajin: Demi-Human) and Takahiro Oba (Box!), finally gets an anime adaptation! High school student Yuri Honjo finds herself lost in an “abnormal space” where countless skyscrapers are connected by suspension bridges and “masked figures” mercilessly slaughter their confused and fleeing victims. To survive in this hellish world, she has two choices: kill the masked figures or be killed. Yuri is determined to survive in order to destroy this irrational world, but what will be her ultimate fate?
ViacomCBS has announced a March 4th release date for Paramount+ for both the United States and Canada which is great because I was trying to watch CBS All Access last night on my PS4 and the app was slow as fuck.
ViacomCBS’ existing subscription video-on-demand and live streaming service, CBS All Access, is being rebranded as Paramount+ as part of the service’s expansion to feature content from ViacomCBS’ leading portfolio of broadcast, news, sports, and entertainment brands.
ViacomCBS will also bring Paramount+ to international markets with initial debuts in Latin America on March 4, 2021; the Nordics on March 25, 2021; and Australia in mid-2021.
HBO MAX has launched an entire animation page in response to increased traffic the service has been seeing to it’s offering and this includes segmentations for kids, adult animation, classics, anime, and superhero. The upcoming year will be a busy one for HBO MAX’s adult animation offerings with The Boondocks, Santa, Inc, The Prince, and a slew of Adult Swim content all on tap. Until then, the service has promoted heavily the likes of South Park, Rick and Morty, Harley Quinn, Close Enough, and a bevy of other offerings.
Hi Ashley, thank you so much for reading and we love the feedback. Note that on that day we had 14th posts go up and only ten posts show on the front page, so it's possible the preview had already been archived by the time you got to it. One recommendation would be to add our RSS feed to your favorite news aggregator service like Feedly, this way you get all of the latest posts!
