Previously, Never Mind's Godzilla collaboration apparel turned iconic scenes from across the film series into embroidered jackets. This latest release instead focuses on the newest movie, "Godzilla Minus Zero," using a military-inspired MA-1 flight jacket as its foundation. Subtle embroidery accents the chest, while a bold Godzilla graphic dominates the back, giving the military staple an unmistakable dose of kaiju-movie power.

Inocon904 primarily plans, develops, and sells merchandise inspired by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, making military aesthetics a natural fit for this Godzilla apparel collaboration. Alongside the MA-1 flight jacket, the collection includes movie-themed T-shirts, hoodies, acrylic stands, and charms. The brand also held a limited-time "Godzilla Minus Zero" sales event in Hiroshima in October 2026, giving fans even more ways to bring the monster's imposing presence into their everyday wardrobe.

Now the series has teamed up with Hong Kong-based professional motorsport outfit Craft-Bamboo Racing to unveil a Mercedes-AMG GT3 sporting a Yanineko livery for Japan’s Super Taikyu Series. The unexpected crossover has taken fans by surprise, but it is the car’s rainbow graphics that have really sparked conversation, with viewers joking, “Why does this look kind of... gross?”

The car revealed by the team is a Mercedes-AMG GT3 set to compete in the final round of the 2026 Super Taikyu Series. A rainbow-colored design wraps around the body, while Yanineko lounges across the door panel in a seductive pose. Yanineko logos can also be spotted throughout the livery.

Limited-edition collaboration merchandise featuring the new artwork has also been confirmed, with more details expected soon.

There is plenty to unpack here. Beyond Yanineko’s eye-catching pit-crew outfit, the car is absolutely covered in rainbow-colored graphics.

For anyone who has watched the Yanineko anime, though, that rainbow-colored substance looks suspiciously familiar—and probably is not something you would want anywhere near a race car.

Fans quickly began posting screenshots showing exactly what the rainbow colors represent in the anime. If you know, you know.

Craft-Bamboo Racing had already fielded a Yanineko-liveried GT3 at the GT World Challenge Asia powered by AWS event held in Shanghai in mid-October. That earlier design, however, was considerably less suggestive.

Either way, Yanineko’s appeal has clearly traveled far enough to reach the world of motorsport, and the collaboration has found a playful way to make the crossover work. As for whether the car smells as distinctive as it looks... we will leave that to your imagination.

On November 4, the series announced a new collaboration with Japanese fast-food chain MOS Burger. Alongside the 2027 MOS Lucky Bag, the campaign will feature a limited-edition takeout-only MOS steamed pork bun packaged with an original insulated bag, plus exclusive bonuses for kids’ meals. Series protagonist Shoyo Hinata will even take over the in-store broadcast, bringing the collaboration to nearly every part of the MOS Burger experience. Special online preorders open on November 25, 2026.

The 2027 MOS Lucky Bag marks the second Haikyu!! collaboration with MOS Burger, following last year’s Summer Lucky Bag. This latest collection features newly drawn artwork across a range of items designed to fit easily into everyday life, even for adult fans.

The four-item lineup features characters from Karasuno High School alongside their rivals from Nekoma High School and Fukurodani Academy.

From November 11 to 30, 2026, Haikyu!! protagonist Shoyo Hinata, voiced by Ayumu Murase, will appear on the MOS SOUND SELECTION in-store broadcast at MOS Burger locations across Japan, excluding select stores.

The broadcast features a newly recorded original message in which Hinata introduces the highlights of the 2027 MOS Lucky Bag and delivers a special message to customers dining in the restaurant.

The publisher recently announced a new collection inspired by last year's hit game Pokémon Pokopia. The lineup includes the “Flappy-Eared Pikachu Pouch BOOK” and the “Ditto Messenger Bag BOOK,” both set to launch on December 9.

The Pokémon Pokopia collection features two Pikachu pouches—one in the standard color scheme and another in a lighter palette—along with a Ditto-shaped messenger bag. Each exclusive design blends the game's adorable Pokémon with a practical bag built for everyday use.

The publications bundled with the pouches and bag spotlight the many slightly unusual-looking Pokémon found in Pokémon Pokopia, along with the latest information about the game.

▼ “Flappy-Eared Pikachu Pouch BOOK” Price: ¥3,289 each

Measuring approximately 13.5 cm long and wide by 6.5 cm thick, the pouch brings Pikachu's ears and body details to life with raised 3D elements. Better yet, the ears can flap up and down for an extra dose of charm. Ditto patterns also appear on the zipper pull and interior lining. Available in standard and light-colored Pikachu versions, the pouch offers plenty of room for everyday essentials.

▼ “Ditto Messenger Bag BOOK” Price: ¥3,960

The messenger bag measures approximately 19.5 cm high by 33 cm wide by 11.5 cm deep. Ditto graphics decorate the front, interior lining, and zipper pull, making this shoulder bag a must-have for Ditto fans. Lift the flap and two hidden Pikachu peek out from inside, adding a delightful surprise every time the bag is opened.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of its signature souvenir product, ICHIRAN Ramen Hakata Thin Straight Noodles, the company is releasing a special set that recreates its iconic Flavor Concentration Booth at home. The limited-edition set goes on sale November 4 at ICHIRAN locations across Japan and through the brand’s official online store.

The package pairs ICHIRAN Ramen Hakata Thin Straight Noodles, which has surpassed 80 million servings shipped, with a desktop-size Flavor Concentration Booth assembly kit. It is the first ICHIRAN product designed to let customers place an actual bowl of ramen on the assembled counter and eat directly from it.

Modeled after the counters inside ICHIRAN restaurants, the kit faithfully recreates everything from the view-blocking side partitions to the decorative details on the wall. It measures 245 mm wide, 330 mm tall, and 250 mm deep, leaving plenty of room for a bowl of ramen.

The kit even includes a call button that plays ICHIRAN’s familiar charumera melody when pressed. Whether it is set up on a dining table or desk, the booth creates a distraction-free space where you can focus entirely on your ramen.

The set comes in five-serving and 10-serving versions. The five-serving package is priced at ¥3,850, while the 10-serving package costs ¥4,980 and is available exclusively through ICHIRAN’s official online store.

The only real difference is the amount of ramen included, as both versions come with one Flavor Concentration Booth assembly kit.

For dedicated ICHIRAN fans, this is about as close as it gets to bringing the restaurant experience home. Set down your bowl, press the button, listen to that familiar chime, and enjoy your ramen while pretending you have scored a booth at ICHIRAN itself.

On November 4, the official team also announced that the series is officially getting a live-action movie. Warner Bros. will oversee the project, with CREDEUS handling hands-on production. The two companies are joining forces for this major undertaking, which will hit Japanese theaters on March 19, 2027.

Production will be led by CREDEUS, the company behind acclaimed films including Kingdom, Golden Kamuy, and Kokuho, the highest-grossing Japanese live-action film of all time. CREDEUS has continued to bring homegrown Japanese live-action films to audiences around the world.

Now, CREDEUS and Warner Bros. are teaming up to bring this ambitious project to life, promising an unconventional entertainment spectacle built around the ultimate showdown: magic versus muscles.

CREDEUS being attached may offer fans some reassurance, but the cast has yet to be revealed, leaving plenty of curiosity over who will bring these larger-than-life characters into the real world.

The live-action MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES movie is officially set to open in Japan on March 19, 2027. More announcements are sure to arrive as the release approaches, so stay tuned.

An official announcement on November 4 confirmed that the film had earned ¥910 million on its opening day, setting a new Japanese box-office record for a live-action movie. It also drew more than 590,000 moviegoers on its first day.

Compared with its predecessor, Godzilla Minus One—which opened on November 3, 2023, and finished with ¥7.65 billion at the Japanese box office—the sequel earned more than 201% of its opening-day gross. According to figures from Kogyo Tsushinsha, Godzilla -0.0 now holds Japan’s highest single-day opening gross for any live-action movie, whether domestic or international.

The sequel brings back the previous film’s team and has already earned strong word of mouth in Japan. Several media outlets are now watching to see whether it can become the first Godzilla movie to cross ¥10 billion at the Japanese box office. With theaters packed nationwide, the scale of the franchise fandom’s anticipation is clear.

Godzilla -0.0 opens in Taiwan on November 6, giving local audiences their chance to see what kind of big-screen destruction the King of the Monsters has in store this time.

With the film just weeks away, the official team announced on November 3 that Witch on the Holy Night is also getting a serialized manga adaptation. Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie creator Keigo Maki will handle the artwork, with the series launching in Issue 50 of Weekly Shonen Magazine, on sale November 11, 2026.

Witch on the Holy Night, known in Japanese as Mahoutsukai no Yoru, is a visual novel developed and published by TYPE-MOON. The story originated as an unpublished and unfinished work written by Kinoko Nasu after Tsukihime. Nasu later completed it with encouragement from Takashi Takeuchi. Chronologically, it is also one of the earliest stories in TYPE-MOON's shared universe.

The visual novel was released in 2012, followed years later by a remastered edition. Its anime film adaptation will finally hit theaters in 2026.

The biggest surprise is the choice of Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie creator Keigo Maki as the manga's artist. Maki's distinctive approach to female characters feels like a particularly strong match for Witch on the Holy Night heroines Aoko Aozaki and Alice Kuonji.

The official Weekly Shonen Magazine YouTube channel, Magazine Channel, has also released a promotional video for the new series. The video features Haruka Tomatsu, the voice of Aoko Aozaki, and Yusuke Kobayashi, who voices Soujyuro Sizuki.

After all these years, Witch on the Holy Night is not only getting an anime film but a full manga serialization as well. For longtime fans, that is one seriously welcome double feature.

The series has also announced a collaboration with Japanese brand Palude, featuring a full lineup of apparel and accessories. With knitwear designed for everything from lounging at home to heading out, fans can keep the Keroro Platoon close wherever they go. Preorders will be available through the official Palude online store from November 27 to December 24.

Apparel brand Palude is no stranger to anime collaborations, with most of its crossover collections built around simple, easy-to-style designs. The brand previously teamed up with Sgt. Frog for a line of loungewear.

For this second collection, each design incorporates the characters’ signature colors and motifs, paired with Palude’s distinctive knitting techniques and silhouettes. Whether you wear the pieces or simply feel their textures, the collection brings the playful world of the Keroro Platoon right into everyday life.

▼ Knit Pullover — Price: 10,780 yen

Available in five designs, each pullover is dotted with Keroro and the crew striking all kinds of poses. Turn it around and you’ll find a character face peeking out from the back, giving the sweater an extra dose of personality.

The thick knit fabric has a cozy, warming feel that makes it ideal for colder weather. It works just as well for a laid-back day at home as it does for a winter outing.

▼ 556 Ugly Sweater — Price: 10,780 yen

Bold lettering dominates the front for a design that refuses to blend into the background. True to 556’s identity as a space detective, cosmic motifs cover the entire sweater, while his younger sister Lavie makes an appearance on the sleeve. It is playful, deliberately over-the-top, and practically begs for a double take.

▼ Fluffy Hair Clip — Price: 1,980 yen

Keroro and the crew’s faces are recreated in soft, fluffy fabric. Clip one into your hair for an easy way to add some Keroro charm to an everyday look.

▼ Blanket — Price: 7,150 yen

Made from soft, fluffy material, the blanket puts the crew’s adorable expressions front and center. Use it as a lap blanket or curl up with it while relaxing in your room—it is a welcome companion when the temperature drops.

▼ Fluffy Plush Bag — Price: 4,070 yen

Inspired by the Keroro Platoon, the design uses dimensional Sagara embroidery to bring each character and signature motif to life, with plenty of thoughtful details throughout.

The soft, fluffy texture makes the bag especially charming. It is also practical enough to hold everyday essentials, cosmetics, and other small items.

▼ Embroidered Handkerchief — Price: 1,320 yen

Detailed embroidery captures the Keroro Platoon members and their signature motifs in an elegant design. It offers a subtle way to carry a little piece of the series into your daily routine.

▼ Pouch — Price: 4,070 yen

Inspired by the Keroro Platoon, the pouch uses dimensional Sagara embroidery to recreate the characters and their signature motifs with carefully crafted detail.

▼ Phone Strap — Price: 2,750 yen

Acrylic charms featuring Keroro and the crew are paired with colorful beads and ribbons for a design with plenty of presence. Attach it to your phone for an instant character-themed upgrade, or clip it onto a bag or pouch to switch up the look.

▼ Knit Tapestry — Price: 3,850 yen

Jacquard knitting brings Keroro and the crew to life with the warm texture unique to knit goods. Hang it on your wall to create a playful space that feels like you are living alongside the Keroro Platoon.

▼ Shopping Bag — Price: 880 yen

The design features a range of expressions from Keroro and the crew, while satin ribbon accents dress up the handles. It is great for everyday shopping, carrying merchandise, or even doubling as a gift bag.

Spend at least 7,700 yen on items from the collection in a single order to receive a free nail sticker set!

A limited-time pop-up store will also open alongside the collection’s launch on Palude’s official website. Fans will not want to miss this chance to see the items in person.

Anime KERORO☆ KNIT COLLECTION 2026 POPUP STORE by Palude

Location: MAGNET by SHIBUYA109, 6th Floor

Event period: November 27–December 13, 2026

The latest drop takes inspiration from Mobile Suit Gundam, pairing ink-wash-style Mount Fuji artwork with either the RX-78-2 Gundam or Char's Zaku II. Each T-shirt is priced at 6,600 yen and is currently available to preorder through Premium Bandai’s Japanese website.

Built around the Mobile Suit Gundam franchise, STRICT-G JAPAN combines original Japanese design with traditional aesthetics, using cultural motifs to bring a fresh sense of style and appeal to Gundam apparel.

The new lineup includes an RX-78-2 Gundam and Mount Fuji graphic T-shirt rendered in expressive ink-wash brushwork, plus a Char's Zaku II design themed around Red Fuji.

▼ RX-78-2 Gundam Mount Fuji Graphic T-Shirt — Price: 6,600 yen

This design brings the Gundam and Mount Fuji together through intricate ink-wash brushwork. It captures the iconic RX-78-2 Gundam swinging its beam saber, with the weapon’s trail transforming into scattered flower petals. Waves roll beneath its feet as Mount Fuji rises in the background, packing the artwork with distinctly Japanese imagery.

▼ Char's Zaku II Red Fuji Graphic T-Shirt — Price: 6,600 yen

This design draws on Red Fuji, the Shizuoka-area phenomenon in which Mount Fuji appears red under the early-morning sunlight and is traditionally regarded as an auspicious sight in Japan. Ink-wash artwork of Char's Zaku II is surrounded by swirling maple leaves, while clouds gather around the mobile suit’s feet to complete the autumnal scene.
