@ryoko6 I'm still not sure about the veracity of these leaks (some of which seem to be safe bets) but I hope they're false, as Maou 2099 looks like a pretty ambitious project from the trailer.

And the bit about the director of ReZero season 3 seems strange, especially as the animation team seems to be taking precautions with the series, in addition to making a 1h30 episode 1.

Same for Bleach.
