Throughout the weekend of July 4, HIDIVE premiered a number of new anime series.  One of those is The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainness to Savior (I'm going to shorten it to Last Boss Queen due to the full title being quite a mouthful).  

Last Boss Queen is part of what you can call the "villainess" genre, which has been growing in popularity.  The story focuses on Pride Royal Ivy (voiced by Fairouz Ai), or more accurately, a girl who has reincarnated as Pride from the fictitious game Our Ray of Light.  That's a fairly common theme in the villain genre, where a person from the modern era dies or is transported to another world and becomes another character.  I'm going to give an introduction and a run down of the first two episodes, and my thoughts overall.

Another of HIDIVE's series premieres at Anime Expo was the anime Dark Gathering. I have been reading Dark Gathering since its inception and when I saw it on the schedule, I quickly slotted it into my list of things to see.

First announced back in March with little details, Pokemon Concierge is an upcoming stop-motion collaboration between Netflix and The Pokemon company produced by dwarf studios. The series will follow the story of Haru, brought to life by the talented Japanese actress and singer Non (Rena Nonen). Behind closed doors, hear what Non shared about the highly anticipated Pokemon Concierge at Anime Expo 2023.

With the recent announcement of Persona 5 Tactica much of the game is still shrouded in mystery. At this year's Anime Expo, Atlus held a Persona-themed panel where the audience was treated to a very special Interview with the voice cast from Persona 5 talking about their history with voice acting and more.

Studio Trigger makes a triumphant return to Anime Expo with their usual array of new announcements. This year, they revealed three exciting projects.

The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen:

HIDIVE is one of the many streaming options for anime fans in English and they'll be present at the biggest anime convention on the west coast, Anime Expo.

Spiral Cats, the renowned South Korean professional cosplay team, is set to make their annual appearance at Anime Expo 2023.

Pompo the Cinephile was released mid-last year. You might have even seen it in theaters. And if you didn't? Why not see it as part of Anime Expo alongside its director, Takayuki Hirao?

The latest animated feature of Type Moon's Fate series, Fate/strange Fake -Whispers of Dawn-, will have a special screening at Anime Expo! In fact, it's going to be the English world premiere, presented specially by Aniplex.

Anime Expo and Atlus recently announced their first musical act for this year's convention: Shin Megami Tensei: Band of Shadows.
