[ABEMA] Popular Female Idol Strongly Confesses Her "Past Writing Fanfiction"! What Was the Otaku Episode Where She Got Hooked on Sai from "NARUTO"? "SHIBUYA ANIME BASE" #80

The new future TV "ABEMA" broadcasted "#80" of "SHIBUYA ANIME BASE (#ShibuAni)" live on the "ABEMA Anime Channel" from 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM on Friday, March 27, 2026, and started a free catch-up distribution after the broadcast ended.

This time, welcoming voice actress and idol unit "i☆Ris" member Himika Akaneya as a guest, we delivered plenty of information on new spring anime.

In the first half of the program, we featured a massive special on the anime "Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World- 4th season," which eagerly starts broadcasting in April. The conversation shifted to Tomokazu Sugita, who plays the "Strongest Swordsman" Reid as a new cast member for the 4th season. In a VTR from the recently held Japan Premiere, cast members including Yusuke Kobayashi, Satomi Arai, and Nobuhiko Okamoto took the stage and exposed Sugita's behavior at the post-recording studio, saying, "He talks about nostalgic things from the past, recent industry news, dirty jokes... well, it's just business as usual (laughs)." With Okamoto quipping, "It's weird for someone appearing for the first time in season 4 to act 'business as usual'! He blends in amazingly well," the harmonious behind-the-scenes atmosphere was revealed. Furthermore, to commemorate the broadcast of the 4th season and the 10th anniversary of the anime adaptation, it was announced that a dedicated channel for "Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-" will be opened for the first time on "ABEMA." Starting Friday, April 3, all episodes from past series will be distributed in a free marathon. Please look forward to it.
