SENRYU GIRL FOR THE UNINITIATED

Synopsis:

HOUSTON, TX — JUNE 6, 2023— HIDIVE, AMC Network’s fast-growing anime streaming service and home to some of Japan’s hottest new series, announced today that it will host the world premiere of The Eminence in Shadow 2nd Season in Los Angeles, Calif. at next month’s Anime Expo, the largest annual anime convention in North America. Presented in partnership with Kadokawa, this first-ever dual world premiere event features separate English subtitled and dub premieres of The Eminence in Shadow 2nd Season Episode 1 on July 1 and July 4, respectively. Each premiere will include a post screening Q&A session. The July 1 subtitled premiere will include Japanese cast member Seiichiro Yamashita (voice of Cid/Shadow), while the July 4 dubbed premiere will include English dub cast members Adam Gibbs (voice of Cid/Shadow) and Christina Kelly (voice of Alpha).

“We are truly honored to partner with Kadokawa and co-present the world premiere of The Eminence in Shadow 2nd Season together with them,” said John Ledford, President of HIDIVE. “Anime Expo provides the perfect stage to debut the highly anticipated second season of The Eminence in Shadow for both sub and dub fans. This world premiere not only spotlights the series’ huge North American fanbase but also recognizes the global popularity of The Eminence in Shadow.”

Based on Daisuke Aizawa’s hilarious isekai light novel series of the same name, The Eminence in Shadow first premiered last fall on HIDIVE. The fantasy-action series quickly gained popularity with fans as well as garnered media praise including “Next Isekai Hit” (CBR.com) and “Anime Sleeper Hit” (Collider). The 2nd Season promises to deliver The Eminence in Shadow’s unique isekai mix of fantasy, action and humor that fans have come to adore — transporting audiences seamlessly back into the world of the Shadow Garden as if they never left…

Everything has been going according to plan, but the hour of awakening draws near. Cid Kageno and Shadow Garden investigate the Lawless City, a cesspool where the red moon hangs low in the sky and three powerful monarchs rule the streets. The true draw for Cid, however, is one who can draw blood–the Blood Queen, a vampire who has slumbered in her coffin for eons. Her awakening approaches, and Cid could finally face a day of reckoning.

The Eminence in Shadow returns this October for its exciting second season.

HORROR ANIME “DARK GATHERING” BRINGS SCREAMS TO HIDIVE’S SUMMER SIMULCAST SEASON

Download Logo and Key Art Here

HOUSTON, TX — June 8, 2023 — Anime fans are in for a truly scary good time this summer with today’s news that HIDIVE has acquired Pony Canyon’s highly anticipated new horror-supernatural series Dark Gathering. Based on Kenichi Kondo’s popular shounen manga series of the same name, the Dark Gathering anime adaptation was first revealed last summer and is now set to premiere this July in Japan and as an exclusive summer simulcast on HIDIVE’s streaming service.

“We’re proud to have acquired this one-of-a-kind series from Pony Canyon and eager to premiere Dark Gathering as a HIDIVE exclusive series in July,” said John Ledford, President of HIDIVE. “Japanese horror is truly unique in the genre as well as a true rarity in anime, so we’re thrilled to introduce Pony Canyon’s Dark Gathering to international fans around the world. Dark Gathering joins our exciting summer simulcast line-up and illustrates our ongoing commitment to bring subscribers the best of Japan’s new anime each season.”

After a devastating encounter with a restless spirit, ghost-fearing psychic Keitaro Gentoga became a shut-in to avoid additional spectral catastrophes. But no man is a haunted island, and Keitaro eventually reintegrates with society by getting a part-time job as a tutor to the child prodigy Yayoi Houzuki. Yayoi isn’t just an academic genius, though. She’s a talented psychic medium hell-bent on finding the malevolent spirit behind her mother’s disappearance, and she’s gravely determined to drag Keitaro into her terrifying world of grotesque supernatural phenomenon.

Launched in 2019, Kenichi Kondo’s Dark Gathering is serialized in Shueisha’s Jump Square and currently spans 12 volumes. The anime adaptation features direction by Hiroshi Ikehata and writing by Shigeru Murakoshi and is produced by OLM with music by KOHTA YAMAMOTO, Shun Narita and Yūsuke Seo.

The latest tournament of succession is going smoothly—except for the tiny detail that a former HUMAN hero named Helck just walked away victorious! Sure, Helck claims he hates humans as much as the next demon, but his new subjects aren’t so sure of his motivations. They send Red Vermilio, one of the Four Heavenly Demon Kings, to investigate Helck’s true intentions for the demon realm. The title of Demon King is at stake, and now the fate of the demon world is in Red’s demonic hands!

DON’T MISS OUT: DISCOVER THE HORROR OF THE DARK GATHERING ANIME JULY 9

Don’t go into the Inunaki Tunnel. Don’t watch the video tape. Don’t answer if someone asks you “red or blue?” And whatever you do, don’t look. If you see the cow’s head, then it’s already too late.

Ever notice how ghost stories explicitly tell you not to do something? There’s a reason, dear reader: they are not entertainment. They are warnings passed down by the survivors. Don’t believe us? Just ask the slit-mouthed woman standing underneath the lamppost.

Or, better yet, don’t.

Sign up for HIDIVE and join us Sunday, Sunday, July 9, 2023 at 1:00 PM EDT (17:00 UTC) for the spine-tingling premiere of our newest anime simulcast, Dark Gathering.

But no man is a haunted island, and he eventually rejoins society by taking a part-time job tutoring the child prodigy Yayoi Houzuki. Yayoi isn’t just a genius, though. She’s a gifted medium hell-bent on finding the malevolent spirit behind her mother’s vanishing. And she’s gravely determined to drag Keitaro into her terrifying and grotesque supernatural world.
