Hello gentle readers, and welcome to the SwitchArcade Round-Up for February 12th, 2021. Today’s article ended up a great deal larger than I anticipated and although I tried to get ahead of it yesterday, I still ended up extremely pressed for time trying to finish everything. Indeed, as I type this introduction (amusingly enough, it is the last thing I’m writing for the article) it is 10:36 PM and I have not had dinner yet.

Fire Force manga had its second season for summer 2020 and but we’ve also got home video releases rolling out around the world.

The fourth set arrived with a December 20th, 2020 debut where both editions are just about 36 euro each.

Yuki Yase is set to direct based on the scripts overseen by Yamato Haishima while Hideyuki Morioka is handling the character designs. David Production is handling the animation for it.
The fall 2017 anime series
Blood Blockade Battlefront & Beyond saw its home video release back in 2018 in North America and now its getting some new overseas distribution. German distributor KSM Anime has the first volume of the series coming out on February 16th, 2021 and they’ve dropped the first trailer for the first volume with its German-language dub. The set, priced at 35 Euro, has the first four episodes and a slipcover for the first pressing while on-disc extras include the clean opening and closings. Additional pack-in materials for the limited edition include a booklet, episode guide, and art cards.
The series was directed by Shighito Takayanagi with Yasuko Kamo on the scripts. Toshihiro Kawamoto is the character designer and Bones produced the animation.

Anime will forever be popular, but thanks to TikTok compilations with catchy songs and fabulous cosplayers, many people just discovered the world of anime. And no,

everyday life to your worst nightmares animated, anime quite literally provides something for everyone.
