SUMMARY BY GROK

Vietnamese authorities arrested seven operators behind the world's largest anime piracy site, HiAnime (formerly Aniwatch), in early July 2026. The group, led by figures including Nguyễn Đình Minh Khoa and Nguyễn Trung Anh, allegedly ran over 100 websites distributing 26,000+ pirated films, earning ~$12.85 million (308 billion VND) from ads. They face charges of copyright infringement and money laundering. The multi-year investigation, supported by the U.S. and ACE (MPA-backed), followed HiAnime's shutdown in March 2026. Four were detained; three are under travel restrictions. This marks a major win against global anime piracy.

1. Masterpiece (10/10) - Nippon Sangoku and Dr. Stone Science Future Final Part
2. Great (9/10) - Witch Hat Atelier, COTE S4, and The Klutzy Class Monitor and the Girl with the Short Skirt

Backlog - Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring, Akane-banashi and Dandelion.

I prefer binge watching the entire show in one or two days so haven't included One Piece (Egghead arc), Liar Game, and Daemons of the shadow realm.

So many people suggested me 86 so I watched it and ngl it was really a great suggestion, watching part2 now 🫡

Upcoming manga title: Valhalla's commoner

"I just finished Season 2 of Mission: Yozakura Family, and I honestly don't know why nobody is talking about this anime! 🤔 It has highly entertaining episodes, a solid storyline with great plots, and really good character development. I mean, it's good—maybe not 'next level' masterpiece status—but it has decent animation and is super fun to watch. 🎬✨

​If you have some free time, definitely give Mission: Yozakura Family a try! Let me know if you enjoy it. 🌸🔫"
