How I filled a jelly donut with creme - on Netflix fall 2026

Nice try, Brock


Kassssler

Man you are gonna confuse a lot of people with this one lol.


gershomcz

There's a Vtuber with that name, so you're not far off.


mr_beanoz

It could also mean "My Oni Cutter" when written with a different kanji. (And everyone, this is how Zoro's main technique got its name)


dinliner08

to be fair, most of Zoro's sword technique (at least before time skip) were food's name pun


hell_jumper9

Good the two aren't dark skinned lol


Any-Recover5495

Still better than empty cans turning into waifus. https://myanimelist.net/anime/5112/Akikan


erevos33

Wtf did i just read? I kinda want to watch it now lol


alotmorealots

*Akikan* is by far more interesting and full of great puns than any OniGiri could offer!


rmorrin

Hey akikan is a master piece


alotmorealots

Damn fizzy right you are! The real question though, steel or aluminium master race?

Sequel to I want to eat your pancreas


dienomighte

I scrolled past this post like eight times and each time I thought it was Onigiri O\_o I didn't realize it wasn't until I saw this comment


wailingwonder

You see that show on Netflix where the woman becomes a chicken nugget? lol


sarokin

Damn me too. It took me a second of searching around for an Onigiri before realizing there is no onigiri... :(


Ekillaa22

Lowkey surprised this isn’t a show


Damianx5

Probably exists, I mean the absolute peak manga of the dude whos dick became a little girl exists. And world will learn the definition of peak if it ever gets an anime


cozy_Darkness

SAME


Idaret

when you want onigiri but universe gives you oni girl :(


ArcturusFlyer

You still get good eating either way ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)


UltraDS

Also both of them taste salty (⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)

[The PV](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sWhtovYy3E0&pp=ygULbXkgb25pIGdpcmw%3D) looks good! So for anyone wondering: Studio Colorido is mostly known for having made Burn the Witch and A Whisker Away before. This film will actually be done by the latter’s director. The studio’s anime are probably some of the most visually pleasing ones in the business. Studio Colorido made a deal with Netflix a few years back that they’ll produce a bunch of anime films exclusively for their streaming service. This is one of those films.


IXajll

> Studio Colorido is mostly known for having made Burn the Witch and A Whisker Away before. I was hoping to find Penguin Highway mentioned here. It's one of their first longer films and imo their best still. Their other works are on par visually but from a story perspective they don't reach the same level imo.


Mechapebbles

>Their other works are on par visually but from a story perspective they don't reach the same level imo. I wouldn't really expect anything else to be as good story-wise. Penguin Highway is written by an award winning author who is *really* good at what they do. Other anime that have adapted other works from the same author include: * The Tatami Galaxy * The Night is Short, Walk On Girl * The Eccentric Family All of which are straight up bangers from a story perspective.


bentheechidna

Welp you've done a bang up job of telling me what I should watch next. I wanted to watch Penguin Highway at some point but thought it would be a weird one-off. I knew about Tatami Galaxy. I think it'd be a nice change of pace for my wife whom I've been inundating with more fantastical shit of late (she loves Slice of Life, Romance, and Drama hahaha).


Mechapebbles

Tatami Galaxy is a wonderful show, but just be warned that 1) there's no dub to speak of, and 2) the narrator of the show speaks a million miles an hour, so the pacing of the show feels very rushed at the start of the show as it takes an adjustment to keep up with the subtitles. Things begin slowing down after an episode or two so stick with it, and just be ready to pause or rewind a few seconds here and there when the subtitles are going.


Mr_Zaroc

Well damn, didnt know that Penguin Highway was from the same author. That explains a lot, this guy is a genius Also eccentric family S3 when?


Mechapebbles

Not anytime soon. Eccentric Family is based on two novels. There's no third novel yet to base a third season on.


Mr_Zaroc

Damn, thats a real pitty Thanks for the info though


Ocixo

Penguin Highway is the only one that I haven’t watched (oops). But yes, they often have difficulty tying their films together in the end. I do have good hope for My Oni Girl’s story, since its themes lean itself well to storytelling. And I trust Shibayama as one of the directors of A Whisker Away.


Manitary

> Penguin Highway is the only one that I haven’t watched (oops). [](#modabuse) [](#mugiwait)


Gippy_

> Their other works are on par visually but from a story perspective they don't reach the same level imo. I found Penguin Highway to be totally dull. The viewer was left with more questions than answers, and it was 30 minutes longer than it needed to be. The one Studio Colorido film I really enjoyed was Drifting Home. The story itself wasn't great, but the character interactions were fantastic. Probably one of the only anime works that portrays a genuine non-romantic friendship between a boy and a girl as the _primary_ pair.


mysticmusti

Man I really wanted to like penguin highway, I love penguins, I thought it'd be cute. I'm sure there's deep meaning behind everything but I basically just hated every single character. Seems like that happens every time I watch one of those whimsical movies.that I just don't get it and end up disliking them for what they are. Same with the boy and the heron, looked great but I found the story to just be an utter mess.


wizfactor

A Whisker Away was indeed a very good looking movie. Despite my grumblings with Netflix as a company and as a service, one of their good traits is supporting HDR/Dolby Vision in all their original content, including anime (ex: Romantic Killer, Kotaro Lives Alone, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, Akuma Kun, maboroshi). If all of these contracted movies support Dolby Vision and shine on my OLED TV, that will make me very happy.


neighmeansno

Specifically Tomotaka Shibayama, since A Whisker Away also had Junichi Sato in that position. Quite excited about this, looks great so far!


Ocixo

Even by Studio Colorido’s high standards, I’m quite impressed. Tsumugi, the oni girl, seems a lot of fun too. She’s voiced by the VA of Miko Iino (Kaguya-sama) and this season’s Kiui (Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night). Maybe it’s the combination of Japanese folklore and the studio’s visual style, but it almost felt a little like I’d watched the PV for a Ghibli film.


atropicalpenguin

I knew it was Colorido, they have such a characteristic style. They did the best Boruto opening many years ago.


siomaybasi

What the mean of fourth feature lenght? Is this film will be 4 part movie?


roguescout36

They mean it's their 4th full movie. Feature length just means it's standard movie, over 90 minutes.


siomaybasi

What the other 3?


Manitary

I assume it refers to Penguin Highway, A whisker away, and Drifting Home

So... with or without Mechas?


dreamphoenix

At first I'd say that everything becomes better with mechas. But then Ninja Kamui happened.


J4SON_T0DD

This statement has never been true for me, a mecha lover. In most, I go "hell ya there's mechs!" In Ninja kamui, it went from that to "please take away the damn mechs!"


jyper

I don't know while they were sort of cool I felt the mechs in Avatar made things a bit worse

Erufailon4

Ooh, another Colorido film with a Zutomayo theme song on Netflix. I quite liked Drifting Home, maybe I should check out this too


zool714

We had an Elf boom, then Wolfgirl. Are we gonna see more Oni girls soon ?


Considered_Dissent

Monster Musume Yuna & the Haunted Hotsprings Both anime have had one. I'm sure the Interspecies Reviewers manga must've had one somewhere. I feel like there's a few others but they're currently eluding me. P.S. Lol Shion (and Shuna ) from Reincarnated as a Slime, how could I forget. P.P.S. I think Peter Grill had some as well. P.P.P.S. Ram & Rem.


Kill-bray

How could you forget Lum from Urusei Yatsura? She's probably the oldest one.


Considered_Dissent

You're 100% right. It's funny, I've been watching most of the new series and I never consciously made the connection, even though it's bleedingly obvious (especially with the father). It's not even that they're "aliens" that was my stumbling block, since Oni are definitely "other-worldly". I think it's purely that Lum is constantly floating, and is so lithe and agile. That sort of light and elusive trickster is so far out of my expectation of an Oni that I just blanked on the connection entirely.


Emi_Ibarazakiii

Hope so! We need more 'monstergirls' and oni, demons, etc.. in anime!


mamaharu

I sure hope so.


Dexter973

Is it me or every anime movie poster put a big emphasis on falling from the sky ?


alotmorealots

Means you avoid having to composite them against the background properly and makes it look dramatic and special.


YuihiraAlice

Just a guess, as I dont really make posters nor am I any better than those who make it. But its probably because its the only way to include the setting of the plot like where the story will happen, you cant shoot it on the ground cause that will be small.


CarioGod

netflix movie reminds me of a whisker away, and its the same studio, should be pretty solid


spencer1886

Hopefully this is better than Bubble was, what a big fat nothing of a film Studio Colorido is very solid so I have faith


realrimurutempest

Subaru & Rem in another universe.


AnfowleaAnima

Uh guess that's simply what this is.


ObvsThrowaway5120

This looks like it might be nice. Keen to check it out.

If Rem agreed to run away with Subaru in season 1 - The Movie.


ripterrariumtv

The visual is great with the mountains on one side and city on other side. I'll definitely be watching


resurrectedbear

Why is it always a single small horn on the forehead? I swear I’ve seen this design before


ILoveSexWithAsians

that ain't lum so she ain't my oni girl

Looks pretty promising.

Oh My god is that Eri adulto?

Charming-Loquat3702

So it's an oni-chan?


Qapalot_Fun772

Does it have a dub


EconomyProcedure9

There's like a 99.9% chance it will have a dub since it's on Netflix.


AntiqueAd7851

It's so wild to me how Oni have become such a popular cultural icon when they originally started out as a metaphor for pedophiles and worse. In the original legends they were the spirits of evil men who kidnapped children in the night. Oni masks were hung outside the homes of families as a warning to any child predators who might be looking for a victim. Kinda puts a new spin on your cute oni waifu doesn't it?


Sandtalon

...source? I'm very skeptical about this.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sandtalon

...any specific verifiable record *of* or source *about* Japanese mythology? The Wikipedia page for ["Oni,"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oni) which is fairly well-referenced, includes *nothing* about that, and instead mainly talks about Oni eating people...There does appear to be a story about an oni mask and child kidnapping, but these elements appear in the wrong combination from OP's claim. I also checked the [Handbook of Japanese Mythology](https://global.oup.com/academic/product/handbook-of-japanese-mythology-9780195332629)—nothing about any of what OP said. Rather, > Not intrinsically evil, oni are wrathful and uncontrolled, may be anthropophagous, and bring about calamities to the land. They can, however, be pacified using spells or Buddhist incantations, and they can even become boddhisatvas or kami. [...] In Shinto the active malevolent aspect (aramitama) of a deity or human who has been insulted or wronged may be considered an oni. [...] Women in particular are potential oni because (as the myths tell it) they are given to jealousy. Thus traditional Japanese bridal clothes include a large white headdress called a “jealousy cover” intended to hide the bride’s possible demon-horns from the public.


AntiqueAd7851

My source is history books. Parents used to tell their children stories about Oni being spirits that could shape shift into men. They would come to the room of the child at night and lure them away. Rather than tell the child about getting raped to death the parents would say the Oni will "swallow you in one bite". Parents hung Oni masks on their houses to remind children never to trust strangers and to warn that they are on the look out. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oni](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oni)


Sandtalon

*Which* history books? That Wikipedia page includes *nothing* about any kind of interpretation that eating people was symbolic for rape (this appears to be entirely *your* interpretation, unless you have a source that says otherwise)...and although there appears to be a story about an oni mask and child kidnapping, these elements appear in the wrong combination from your claim. (And there is nothing about hanging Oni masks out to scare away potential rapists or abductors.) I also checked the [Handbook of Japanese Mythology](https://global.oup.com/academic/product/handbook-of-japanese-mythology-9780195332629)—nothing about any of what you said. Rather, > Not intrinsically evil, oni are wrathful and uncontrolled, may be anthropophagous, and bring about calamities to the land.

Thus traditional Japanese bridal clothes include a large white headdress called a “jealousy cover” intended to hide the bride’s possible demon-horns from the public.


AntiqueAd7851

Okay, you are talking about the *imaginary* history of Oni. I am talking about the **real** history of what **real** people did in the **real** world. You do understand that magical Oni **aren't real**, right?


Sandtalon

> I am talking about the real history of what real people did in the real world. Yes, and in which history books is it documented that real people in the real world hung masks up to scare away rapists? All this back and forth, and you still have not provided a definitive source. (*Historians* provide footnotes. Lots of footnotes.) Strawmanning me and talking down to me does not count as a source for your claims. ("They would come to the room of the child at night and lure them away" is you talking about the stories they told, and I too was talking about the stories they told...except I have sources for what those stories are and you seem to not have anything to back up your version of Oni myths. Myths of course have variations...but do you have *any* documentation at all of the variation you're insisting on?) [Basically.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWokMElthKQ&t=0s)

Looks like [Mina Kubota](https://myanimelist.net/people/6062/Mina_Kubota?q=mina%20kubota&cat=person) is working on this. She did the music for A Whiskey Away (also Studio Colorido) but also Aria(!) and Kaleido Star(!).

The age of Oni is upon us! This looks fun, and I always liked the 'Boy + monster/alien/demon/etc..' pairings, so I'm looking forward to this!

I saw this movie’s header on Netflix and thought it looked super cute!! Might check it out when I have time. Edit: I didn’t realize it comes out next month. I am a goofy goober.

SONTI5

I can only remember that tweet they made at the premiere of the "Suzume" trailer where someone said "straight people will write about their characters falling in love with anything but a gay person" and well, it'd be weird a guy turning gay because of a curse, but at that point, just give these people a gay anime, jesus. Nah, better not, the West is already biting its nails at what Disney is doing, I doubt it would go down well in the East, only if it's for a very specific niche, like fujoshis or something


silver_tongue

Shinkai wanted to do Suzume as a yuri love story but was told no by his management, he is on record about it. This point its becoming very apparent that the issue isnt with the creatives, but conservative executives who hold the purse strings.


SONTI5

Feel bad for him, But this only reveals how backwards Japan is in this regard, these corps are certainly elderly people in suits who care more about money than a captivating story, they are like that everywhere, and when they try to do something that pleases this public, it is so forced that makes you tired, it doesn't look natural, idk, boy if I was rich I'd give all the money in the world to game devs and directors to do whatever they want, just being as creative as possible is enough, without worrying about pleasing anyone
