Users Immediately Find Grok's Anime Waifu Persona Has Hidden "Full Gooner Mode"

Elon Musk's hate speech-spewing AI chatbot Grok, which recently gave itself the nickname "MechaHitler," didn't exactly fit into the gender binary — but you have to admit that its edgelord persona had a certain masculine energy. Well, scratch that: Musk has officially swapped Grok's gender into... a goth anime waifu? We wish we were kidding. The mercurial CEO's xAI startup announced that its Nazi-loving assistant will now be able to take on several personas, including a lingerie- and corset-wea

How Netflix’s ‘Leviathan’ United Japanese Animation and Western Imagination

gizmodo.com Isaiah Colbert 2025-08-01 10:40:03

Leviathan, the latest collaboration between Beastars‘ Studio Orange and Star Wars: Visions producer Qubic Pictures, marks Netflix’s entry—alongside Crunchyroll—into the realm of Western novel-to-anime adaptations, echoing a path carved by the Answer Studio’s Anne Shirley. Based on Scott Westerfeld and Keith Thompson’s 2009 steampunk alternate history of World War I (featuring mechs and living animal airships), the anime aims to go beyond a copy-paste replication of its source material.

Studio Trigger Anime ‘New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt’ Is a Raunchy, Foul-Mouthed Riot

gizmodo.com Isaiah Colbert 2025-08-03 14:00:08

Somewhere between Cartoon Network’s super-powered girl mayhem in Powerpuff Girls and Netflix’s unfiltered sex-fueled comedy in Big Mouth, Neon Genesis Evangelion studio Gainax unleashed Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt into the world of animation in 2010. The series, which can be best described as what would happen if Powerpuff Girls were created with crass Adult Swim humor in mind, instantly became an anime cult touchstone with its brazen, raunchy comedy and balls-to-the-wall action.

When Netflix finds a hit, it doesn’t hold back in trying to dig more gold from the same mine. That could mean movie sequels or series renewals—but it can also mean an entire genre is poised to enjoy a heightened presence. That’s looking to be the case for Japanese anime, in light of the streamer’s recent report on just how popular it is with viewers. According to Variety, Netflix chose the ideal context—last weekend’s Anime Expo in Los Angeles—to share this news. Going by recent data, “more tha

‘Daemons of the Shadow Realm’ WIll Be a ‘FullMetal Alchemist’ Anime Reunion

gizmodo.com Justin Carter 2025-08-09 12:50:26

The enduring legacy of Hiromu Arakawa’s FullMetal Alchemist can be partially owed to its pair of anime adaptations by animation studio Bones. Since then, both creator and company have moved on to other ventures—the latter has notably adapted the likes of My Hero Academia and the newly premiered Gachiakuta, among others. Now, 15 years after FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood concluded, Bones is back at adapting Arakawa’s work, namely her fantasy manga Daemons of the Shadow Realm. During Crunchyrol

‘Lazarus’ Is a Briefly Gorgeous Anime That Vibes Hard But Can’t Outpace Its Own Silence

When Adult Swim first announced that it was working with director Shinichirō Watanabe, Jujutsu Kaisen studio Mappa, and John Wick director Chad Stahelski on a new anime project, Lazarus already had the cards stacked against it. In the rollout of its stylish and musical trailers, the anime hewed close to Watanabe’s Cowboy Bebop aesthetics, setting it up to live up to a standard from a bygone era of animation that it would never be able to satisfy audiences with, and never tried to.

While anime remakes and manga adaptations, along with the occasional original project, continue to dominate the medium, a quieter trend has begun to emerge: the adaptation of Western novels. The latest addition to this movement is Scott Westerfeld’s 2009 steampunk historical fiction novel, Leviathan, reimagined as a 3DCG anime by Studio Orange in partnership with Qubic Pictures of Star Wars: Visions fame.

Revolutionary Girl Utena Is as Lynchian as Shojo Anime Has Ever Been

gizmodo.com Isaiah Colbert 2025-06-01 18:50:16

Over the years, critics and everyday people have come to identify media as “Lynchian,” in reverence for how video games, movies, and TV shows evoke the dream-like quality of the late auteur David Lynch. Although most media described as Lynchian takes its inspiration from seminal works like Twin Peaks through referential nods, no show completely embodies the ephemeral vibe of Lynch’s opaque-yet-piercing style of storytelling quite like the similarly influential shojo anime series Revolutionary Gi
