Gunjou no Magmell aired during the Spring 2019 anime season. Based on the homotitled Chinese manga of Dainenbyo and directed by Hayato Date, it started off with a very promising pilot episode, tricking us into thinking that something highly interesting is on the way. It consists of thirteen episodes and is created by legendary Studio Pierrot, so it seemed like it was gonna hit the right spots. Exploration, morals and humor managed to win its audience, but everything was about to change! Yet, allow me to elaborate.
The story of Magmell begins when a new continent appears out of nowhere. This mysterious place is full of unknown species, new energy forms and astonishing landscapes. So, the era of exploration commenced once again and everyone wants to take advantage of it. However, Magmell is full of dangers and that’s when Inyou appears.

In the 1950s, Batman was transformed into a variety of beings or wore a colorful assortment of costumes to goose sales. Thankfully, that silliness was retired with the New Look and wasn’t resurrected until the Elseworlds what if stories of the 1990s. That same approach has now crept from the page to the screen with Batman Ninja, out now on DVD from Warner Home Entertainment.
This anime-style adventure comes from director Junpei Mizusaki, (producer of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure), working from a script by Kazuki Nakashima and character designs from Takashi Okazaki (Afro Samurai). As a result, it comes with a strong pedigree for the creative approach.
Rather than a posit an ancient Japan that needed a protector styled in the form of a bat, this gonzo story actually takes the heroes and villains of Gotham City and transports them into the past. It’s weird, wild, wacky and...

We’ve long had a soft spot for stories that transplant Batman to different times. The best is probably Gotham By Gaslight, which imagines a Victorian Batman tangling with Jack the Ripper, but we also enjoyed Grant Morrison’s time-hopping miniseries Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne, in which we see Caveman Batman, Witchhunter Batman, Pirate Batman, Cowboy Batman and 30s Gumshoe Batman. So, naturally, we’re over the moon with excitement for Batman Ninja.
First announced at the New York Comic-Con last year, the project is the brainchild of DC and a number of anime and manga superstars. Namely, Junpei Mizusaki (Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure), Takashi Okazashi (Afro Samurai), and Kazuki Nakashima (Gurren Lagann).
