Dark Gathering Confirms Season 2 Return After Four Years
Dark Gathering, the dark Shonen Jump anime, is set to return for a second season after a four-year hiatus. A first look was recently unveiled.
Genshin Impact collaboration with Baskin-Robbins Japan officially commenced on September 8, 2026, and the limited ice cream set has already sold out at certain locations due to overwhelming demand.

The collaboration between Genshin Impact and Baskin-Robbins Japan, also known locally as 31 Ice Cream, officially commenced on September 8, 2026. This unique partnership will run until October 6, 2026, and offers fans a mix of exclusive merchandise and themed treats. The Ice Cream Set has quickly sold out at various locations, sparking excitement among fans and raising questions about future availability.
Reports from Anime Corner indicate that the Genshin Impact Ice Cream Set was met with overwhelming demand, leading to sellouts at certain locations almost immediately after launch. Baskin-Robbins Japan expressed surprise at the robust sales figures, issuing apologies to customers who were unable to purchase the limited-edition treats. This swift sellout underscores the enthusiastic support for cross-promotions in the gaming community and how fervently fans engage with their favorite franchises.
The Ice Cream Set includes four ice cream flavors and two acrylic stands featuring popular characters Flins and Linnea, both prominently displayed within themed packaging. The exclusive character artwork adds to the appeal for collectors and fans alike. Additionally, each acrylic stand measures approximately 14 cm for Flins and 12 cm for Linnea, enhancing the collectibility of the product. A background card is included to heighten the display experience. The campaign also features a promotional video that showcases various ways to enjoy ice cream, emphasizing themes of sharing and community.
Beginning on September 12, customers will have the chance to receive one random collaboration sticker from a selection of seven designs while stocks last, with 310,000 stickers planned for distribution across Japan. On September 28, aligned with Genshin Impact's sixth anniversary, another giveaway will begin. Customers purchasing eligible items can receive a collaboration design pick sheet, with 31,000 sheets available nationwide, further enticing consumers to participate in the promotion.
The campaign's central visual artfully portrays characters Flins and Linnea enjoying their time at a Baskin-Robbins store, crafting a vibrant connection between the game and the ice cream brand. The collaboration reflects a growing trend of cross-brand partnerships in the anime and gaming communities. By integrating pop culture with food experiences, this promotion aims to deepen fan engagement, merging their love for gaming with delightful culinary treats.
The immediate sellout of the ice cream sets indicates a strong market for this type of collaboration, catering to both collectors and casual fans alike. This partnership not only highlights the increasing popularity of crossover promotions but also exemplifies how brands can create memorable experiences that resonate with fans. The excitement generated by this launch suggests potential for future collaborations, reinforcing the idea that themed merchandise can significantly enhance brand loyalty among consumers.
