The Ribbon Hero Teaser Trailer Previews an Epic Experience That Will Unfold on August 8
### Synopsis
Netflix has dropped a teaser trailer (labelled as an ordinary trailer in Japanese) for The Ribbon Hero, the previously announced anime film inspired by Osamu Tezuka‘s Princess Knight that now has an August 8 release date. We’re first introduced to heroine Sapphire and a kingdom in a grave state, before witnessing a magical girl-like transformation into the gallant and mighty Princess Knight (Ribbon Knight in Japanese). As Sapphire declares her noble motives, the teaser offers a look at an artificial arm and the first shots of a battle against a monster in an alien landscape, and later a glimpse of someone with a sinister air and the appearance of a mysterious bird. There are also a lot of ribbons, often billowing epically, and used for cute comedy towards the end. The teaser also reveals Sapphire’s voice, which is provided by comedian Saya, one half of the Lalande pair. Additionally, there is a key visual and a synopsis: Sapphire is the princess of a kingdom that no longer exists. Having lost everything in her homeland of Silverland to the calamity known as “Nergal,” she wanders in despair until she finally arrives in Goldland. Though burdened by her past, she begins to find a glimmer of hope as she encounters the kindness of the people there. But as if to sneer at her peaceful new life, the calamity Nergal appears once more. The very despair that once reduced her homeland to ashes now threatens to steal the light from this land as well. “I won’t lose anything ever again. And I won’t…

Why They Can’t See She’s Just A Normal Girl: Welcome To The World Of Ninomae Ina’nis
### Synopsis
On March 27-28, hololive VTubers Takanashi Kiara and Ninomae Ina’nis teamed-up to take over The Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles for their concert “Drawn to Dawn.” Fresh off “hololive 7th fes.” at Makuhari Messe, Kiara and Ina performed to a full-house for their self-described duo-live. Anime Trending had the exclusive opportunity to interview Ninomae Ina’nis about the concert and her time as a performer. The collection of songs in your first EP “re:VISION” completes the storyline started in “VIOLET.” Without spoiling what remains to be revealed in the upcoming MV for “Abyssal Hymn,” how has the storyline evolved since “VIOLET?” Did you always have an ending in mind, or have things taken unexpected turns along the way? Ina: I think when VIOLET released I still didn’t have a solid idea of where I wanted to take the story! It was around when I was finalizing the ideas for TEMARI where I had a very solid direction on where I wanted my story to go, which really helped in coming up with the rest of the songs that were created from then on. In a past interview, we asked about how music can act as a tool for storytelling. Performance adds yet another layer. What is unique to performance when it comes to storytelling? What have you been able to add to your music with it? Ina: I believe the storytelling that my fans also get to experience during the performances is not just the story I want to tell with my songs, but the story of “Ninomae Ina’nis” and my…
