Total Licensing’s Summer ’25 issue (Page 54 & 106) revealed that Japanese anime distributor REMOW is co-producing a ‘high profile project‘ with Shueisha, adapting a ‘beloved series from Weekly Shonen Jump that ended more than 15 years ago and still ranks among the top fan-requested titles for animation.’ Further details are yet to be revealed.

Nevertheless, Page 106 adds, ‘For those who are curious, REMOW would love to tell you more in person,‘ but seems to refer more towards REMOW’s intent to seek merchandising partners at Licensing Expo 2025 (July 16–18). Other notable features from the Summer ’25 issue include TMS Entertainment’s expected attendance at the Expo, and market research group BrandTrends estimating that One Piece ‘super-fans’ have surpassed 100 million people, tripling over the last 18 months. It defines a super-fan as someone who places a series as their #1 favorite.
It was previously known that Shueisha and REMOW were co-producing multiple anime titles for 2025 and beyond. Fans can now speculate about what legacy title from Weekly Shonen Jump is heading to the small (or big) screen. Before that, the first of Shueisha and REMOW’s co-productions — the new adaptation of Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube — will premiere this summer across split cours. Announced last July, it adapts Sho Makura (story) and Takeshi Okano’s (art) manga of the same name, serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1993 to 1999.
REMOW distributes Japanese anime globally through third-party streaming platforms, which include its affiliated YouTube channels like It’s Anime and Anime Onegai. It’s gained a reputation for having anime on multiple streaming services, often outside the top two anime streamers, Crunchyroll and Netflix, and sometimes in an unconventionally manner, such as the case of Your Forma — currently only available in the U.S. via Samsung TV Plus.
Its shareholders are primarily Japanese producers, broadcasters, and publishers like Shueisha, Toei Animation, TV Tokyo, and more. Recently distributed titles include My Deer Friend Nokotan and currently airing titles like Umamusume: Cinderella Gray and Your Forma. Upcoming titles include Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle and Tougen Anki.
It also regularly acquires older titles, such as KochiKame (also known as Tokyo Beat Cops), REBORN!, and True Cooking Master Boy.
