While it's only 15 seconds long, the new promo for Samurai Flamenco has the distinction of being the first look at animation from this season's homage to tokusatsu heroes.

Durarara!'s Takahiro Omori directs the anime about a male model turned superhero and the intersection between crime fighting and the entertainment biz, with Uta no Prince-sama's Chinatsu Kurahana doing original character designs, adapted by Yoshimitsu Yamashita. Oreimo's Hideyuki Kurata is on script composition.

SPYAIR performs the opening, while in-anime idol group Mineral Miracle Muse does the ending.

Aniplex describes it:

Masayoshi Hazama: a man who has become a superhero “by himself” with no superhuman powers or any sort of high-tech conversions, NONE!! Hidenori Goto: a cop who found out the true identity of “the superhero” by a strange twist of fate and thus constantly gets in trouble thanks to Hazama, the superhero. This is the story of the birth of a true hero featuring these two young men with a touch of comedy and serious drama, while they come face to face with hardships as they search for the true meaning of becoming a hero of justice in this world!

Pokémon "Never Gonna Leave You" Parody Creeps on Pikachu

Is it okay to creep on Pikachu in public? I'm sure Ash means well in the latest Pokémon Parody music video from Lorenzo Adams and friends. In all seriousness it's a cute little take on the video for "Never Gonna Leave You," originally by Us.

I wonder what Pikachu was shopping for anyway...
