50 shades of fat
From July 6 on ADN.
Yes, you read the title of this anime correctly, 50 Shades of Fatwhich parodies the famous erotic saga featuring Christian Grey and Ana Steele. In this anime that promises to be surprising, we follow Tomoatsu Naoe; he works in a massage center as a masseur and dietician.
A rather strong young woman by the name of Erufuda introduces herself to him. It quickly turns out that Erufuda is an elf unable to return to her world because of her excess weight, due to an addiction to fries. Totally improbable, this pitch augurs an absolutely wacky anime that will spice up your summer (sprinkled with eroticism that will not be suitable for all ages).
Fairy Tail : 100 Years Quest
From July 7 on ADN.
The community of Fairy Tail were eagerly awaiting it and after six years of waiting, here it is: the long-awaited adaptation of the spin-off 100 Years Quest. Sequel to the main story, this anime is the perfect opportunity to find Natsu, Lucy, Gray, and other fabulous characters abandoned during the series finale broadcast in 2019, and has everything to conquer fans of the Guild.
Story-wise, the recipe doesn’t change: adventure, magic and action are to be expected in this new quest led by our Dragon Hunter and his fine team, full of mysteries and dangers.
However, there has been a slight upheaval in terms of animation. Indeed, after ten years of good and loyal service, the A-1 Pictures studios, responsible for the original anime, are passing the torch to their colleagues at JC Staff, known for having worked on Food Wars or even on season 2 of One Punch Man.
