IT'S ALL HAPPENING KYODAI!
*Kyoudai is Japanese for 'siblings' and how group members are sometimes referred to-- your brothers (and sisters).
This is going to be a long one. Settle in.
ICYMI: The anime is coming!
First episode premiered last weekend at Anime NYC and the trailer was released about 2 weeks ago. Preliminary buzz seems to be positive. No specific date yet but we know it's coming out October 2024 and Crunchyroll will be simulcasting.
A dub has not been announced but never say never.
On Twitter follow the official account raisetanin_pr and Crunchyroll for anime news.
From those initial sketches to the anime announcement, it's been a long 7 (8? 9?) years, hasn't it? Check out this art glow up:
The anime looks a little different and apparently that's intentional.
Here's Shouma as an example from one of our fave fandom accounts.
The licensed English translation of Volume 8 will be released on September 3. Check our resources post for vendors and if you don't see your country/retailer absolutely comment or reblog with info to help your fellow fans.
The mangaka is still on hiatus and no word on when they plan to resume. But also no word on how many episodes are expected which could mean that viewership numbers and an uptick in sales of the physicals/digital versions could get us a full season and/or more chapters.
(Pro tip: Physicals are cheaper in the long run. Crunchyroll is selling physicals for $12USD down from $15USD.)
And if you have Raise merch, and a Twitter account, consider posting pix of your pretties and tagging with the name of the animanga to show your support as well. Post on Tumblr too! The more the engagement the better the chances this will continue.
Note: Spelling matters here.
In Japanese, the title is 来世は他人がいい which is romanized to raise ha tanin ga ii or in title case Raise Wa Tanin Ga Ii*.
The bit at the end いい (spelled 'ii' or in sentence case 'Ii' is pronounced 'ee') means 'good' or 'nice' or 'better' so when you tag it's more いい to use a capital eye and a lowercase eye instead of 'Li' or 'li'.
Raise wa Tanin ga Ii <-- like so
In a serif font its easier to tell when I type an 'I' and an 'l'.
Most social media platforms use Arial or Colibri so the capital 'i' looks like an 'l') so when tagging keep in mind that the 'Ii' at the end of the romanized Japanese title (Raise Wa Tanin Ga Ii) is actually capital 'I' (as in 'I am a fan') and a lowercase 'i'.
*People used to use わ (wa) as a particle but it was decided that は (ha) had a cleaner look to it in written Japanese however people still pronounce it 'wa' because change is harrrrrd. So the title has 'ha' in it but it's read and written 'wa'.
Hope you had a great summer and you're as excited as we are to experience our fave in a new way!
