In other Shonen Jump news, fans globally may want to pay attention to anime licensor REMOW’s industry panel at Anime NYC next month. While no title was named, REMOW teases “a new [anime] title that fans have been waiting years to see animated.” It had been revealed in May that REMOW and Shueisha were co-producing 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.’
