Based on an ongoing deal with U-NEXT, HBO Max will have the exclusive international streaming rights to this samurai drama based on the Chiruran: Shinsengumi Requiem manga. The series will follow the titular Shinsengumi, a band of samurai that defended Kyoto during the final Japanese shogunate, in a story of competing ideals and loyalties. I have a lot of faith in this one, particularly as its from the same studio as the gnarly (in a good way) Alice in Borderland.

What’s Up With HBO Max?

The vote’s gone through, and Paramount is officially acquiring Warner Bros. What does that mean for HBO Max? Well, we’re not entirely sure quite yet. Paramount has claimed the plan is to let Warner Bros operate with independence, but the company has also already floated combining HBO Max and Paramount+ into a single mega-service. Now that’s an interesting thought.

For now, HBO Max plans continue to start at $10.99, with a bundle option with Disney+ and Hulu starting at $19.99.
