Is there any way to re-experience RWBY one more time? There are at least nine seasons of the show. Even if you wanted to go through all the flashy fight scenes one more time, there must be another way to experience this fun 3D anime one more time.

Luckily, a manga series for RWBY is now available for us through Viz Media. You might not be able to experience the anime’s music by reading the series, but we’re bound to be stunned by the panels that the manga has to offer.

Hello everyone! Today I want to discuss of couple of news that I want to talk about that stuck out to me lately. So, let’s get started, shall we?! Disney has announced that they are changing the lightning lane system from Genie + to multi-pass and single pass lightning lanes. This will go into effect on July 24^th. When the day of your visit arrives, you can make more Lightning Lane reservations based on what’s still available on the My Disney Experience app. You’ll be able to have three reservations at a time, so once you use up one of the three that you made ahead of your trip, you can book another one, and then continue to do that throughout the day. Lightning Lane Single Pass will essentially work the same way as Individual Lightning Lanes do now, but starting on the 24th, you’ll be able to purchase these Lightning Lanes in advance. You can get either Multi Pass or Single Pass or choose to use both. Along with these changes, Disney has brought back the ride tier systems. Rides in each park are divided into one of two tiers. When you make Lightning Lane reservations as part of the Multi Pass service, you get to pick up to one ride from the first tier and two rides from the second tier. You can choose to pick three rides from the second tier instead if you don’t want to go on any of the first-tier rides. The only park that does not have ride tiers is Animal Kingdom, which means you can choose any of the Lightning Lanes in that park as part of your three selections. Avatar: Flight of Passage is still considered an Individual Lightning Lane, A.K.A. Lightning Lane Single Pass.

But there’s one thing missing

Disney shared a list of Lightning Lanes that are part of the Multi Pass Experience and which tier each falls into. But when we looked through the lists for each park, we noticed that character meet-and-greets are NOT included. Right now, there are a few character meet-and-greet attractions that have Lightning Lanes and are currently part of Genie+, but they’re not listed as being part of Disney’s new Multi Pass service. This may also go into effect at Disneyland Resort as well.

In other news… The new DAS system has gone into effect at the Disneyland resort. Many disabilities are not visible to others. The DAS pass at Disneyland is a way to meet the needs of guests with special circumstances (such as autism or developmental disabilities) that make it difficult or impossible to wait in a standard queue. The DAS is also ideal for froglets who wander or elope to other locations because of autism or related developmental disabilities since it allows you more control over your wait time and location — and the ability to keep a child in a stroller beyond the usual stroller parking area. (Get your stroller tagged by guest relations for this.) A guest whose disability is based on needing to use a wheelchair or scooter does not need DAS. If a guest in a wheelchair has additional needs, then that person might benefit from the DAS and qualify. If you have a mobility issue that prevents you from standing in line but are not using a wheelchair, it’s possible the accommodation could be to ask you to rent a wheelchair or use a different ride entrance without steps where necessary. You may have a discussion about how Disneyland can address your needs. But the DAS may not be it. It is really designed for guests who do not have mobility issues and for guests who have “invisible” disabilities. Disneyland already complies with the ADA when it comes to disability ride access and offers a wide suite of accessibility options besides DAS. So, if you have mobility issues or need to transfer from an ECV or wheelchair to ride, you do not need DAS. Other options that Disney might suggest for you (based on your needs and health issues) may include Rider Switch passes, Location Return Time passes for older non–ADA compliant queues, wheelchair transfer options, sign language interpreters and handheld devices for the visually impaired. No, you do not need proof of your disability at Disney parks in the United States. (But the rules can be different at international Disney parks.) Disneyland takes guests at their word and doesn’t ask for it. Keep in mind that the more details you can share with cast members, though, the better they are able to assist and accommodate you! If it is difficult to talk about your issues, write them down so you have something to refer to when discussing them or bring a companion who can help communicate. When talking to the cast member, it’s better to focus on your needs and what is challenging or impossible about waiting in a standard queue, so they can let you know what kind of accommodation they can offer based on your situation. There is a lot of information, but I just want to point out some details.

So, what do you guy’s think about the information? I would love to hear your thoughts and comments down below!

Stay tuned for Disney updates.

Stray Kids fans are feeling nostalgic about the teaser for the upcoming ATE album. They celebrated six years with the eight-member group earlier, on March 25, 2024. Now, Stray Kids is making a comeback with ATE.

Although they haven’t released an album in the first half of 2024, Stray Kids have been busy. We’ve seen them grace the MET Gala 2024 decked out in Tommy Hilfiger suits. They’ve also been preparing for their upcoming 2024 World Tour.

Witch Hat Atelier has been one of my favorite ongoing manga series in recent years–so much that I even included it in my ‘Manga You Should Be Reading‘ series on the site. Gorgeously illustrated by Kamome Shirahama and published though Kodansha, this series “about a girl who longs for magic in her life and learns that, on the inside, she already is what she wishes she could be” has gone on to captivate audiences globally and sell over 5.5 million copies in print.

The series follows Coco, our brave main character who has always wanted to be a dealer of magic. She’s enthusiastic, ever curious, and fiercely loyal to those she calls family and friends. Following Qifrey to his atelier to become his apprentice, she soon discovers a world bigger than the one she’s ever known. She’s a lovable child who seeks to right a wrong she did in her pursuit of learning magic.

She often surprises those around her with how she solves problems by thinking outside the box. Naturally seen as an outsider, she is an object of everything from fascination to ire by those in the magic world. Even those she’s a step behind in learning the basics that her peers her age learned a while ago, her strong sense of determination is smiled upon and recognized by her teacher who does his best to protect her.

The first new trailer and key visual for the upcoming Witch Hat Atelier anime was released during the series panel this week at Anime Expo 2024, giving fans a sneak peak of what to expect when the adaptation premieres in 2025.

What Do We Know So Far?

The series is the latest from BUG FILMS who are largely known for their work on the bright and colorful anime adaptation of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead with Ayumu Watanabe (Space Brothers, Summer Time Rendering, Komi Can’t Communicate) directing.

The upcoming series will also feature music from Yuka Kitamura, the composer for Elden Ring and other video games such as Bloodborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. As reported by Anime Hunch:

“Fans are beyond excited by this collaboration and took to social media to express it. Many were of the opinion that it was a major achievement for the studio to have Yuka Kitamura working on the project.

They also noted that this was the first time the composer will be creating music for an anime series, and expressed eagerness for Kitamura’s debut in the anime industry.”

The Witch Hat Atelier anime is set to premiere sometime in 2025. Crunchyroll will stream the anime as it airs.

Creator Kamome Shirahama arrived in Los Angeles this week for the Witch Hat Atelier panel with special guests from the anime production staff. Kazuki Kawagoe directed the trailer and was present at AX with Ayumu Watanabe and Hiroaki Kojima, who is a producer as reported by Anime Corner.

Fan Expectation

Witch Hat Atelier is a charming, layered manga series on the cost of magic in our lives and how the joy of discovering and living out your dreams comes with responsibilities and obligations. It is loved by youth and adults alike and continues to be an engaging story championing those who want inclusion and clarity in the institutions that they belong to.

When watching the trailer on YouTube, I came across this comment by user: rissaito4988″: i was there when they first showed the trailer at anime expo and i’ll never forget that moment! everyone was in awe and cheered the whole time, including me. and shirahama-sensei was so happy to watch the crowd’s reaction that she recorded it on her phone!! it was so amazing and i absolutely cannot wait to see shirahama’s gorgeous artwork brought to life in full color and motion“

Some fans are worried that this anime adaptation may miss the mark as this animated trailer does not hold the same level of meticulously and elaborately detailed art-style from mangaka Kamome Shirahama. Others are stoked at the inclusion of Yuka Kitamura to handle the music for the adaptation. Others are worried for a rushed set of episodes as the manga is still ongoing while some fans are confident that BUG FILMS will bring their A-game for this beloved series’ anticipated anime adaptation. I adore Witch Hat Atelier and will stay tuned for more news!
