Episode 1161 – One Piece (2026-)

Episode 1161 of One Piece sets a rather languid pace to set the mood and deliver key information before ending on a high note.
Welcome to Elbaph, ladies and gentlemen. Please take your time to read our informational signs and take in the sights and sounds.
Oh, you want to hurry off? cocks gun I’m sorry, I must have mispoke: this was not a request. Take your time.
More seriously, this one’s a bit of a mosey rather than a run. That’s not a bad thing, mind you – it’s important to set the stakes, get a feel for the location, all that sort of thing. The length of One Piece arcs these days (years?) means we spend so much time in one place that it’s best to spend time setting the scene. By definition, that gives us slower-paced episodes that aren’t even necessarily information dumps so much as they are a long preamble to our stay.
This week is one of those episodes.
We get a lot of Luffy and Loki talking for one thing. Half the episode is them talking in the snow about Elbaph, and in particular, Loki’s position there. There are a few fun sights and sounds: Luffy befriending the mountain monsters, the silly Shy Guy-esque wandering human wastrels, that sort of thing. The best part was the moment Loki mocked Shanks and Luffy went Gear 4 without missing a beat. It’s a good expression of his character and respect for Shanks, as well as being a genuinely funny moment. Luffy can abide a lot, but Shanks slander? It’s on sight.
There’s a brief interlude where we get introduced to the next era of giant pirates. I liked this roll-call, but there’s not much to say really. “Can’t wait to see more of them!” is the sum of it. I suppose it is worth noting that we don’t often get new crews introduced in quite such a showy, fourth-wall-breaking manner – and I like it. Let the characters walk out on stage and strut their stuff, swing a weapon or something, it works. The typical method is to have one character talk, and others join in the conversation one after another while their names pop up at the bottom of the screen. That method sits nicely within the fiction, but I like how this method provides some novelty.
Lastly, Robin gets a haircut. I liked this scene’s emotional heft, pretty much from all vectors: what it means to Robin, Brook’s nervousness, everyone else’s reactions, etc. Though there was a huge bit of unintended comedy for me when Brook pulled off her salon cape, and it was an immediate close-up on her – ahem – prodigious Devil Fruits. I audibly laughed out loud because I expected it to be her face. All in all, great scene on a great week, so long as you can handle the slower tempo.

The story centers on high school girl Suzuka Mimori, who works as a shrine maiden at her family’s shrine. One day, she gets caught up in a mysterious vortex and is transported to another world. There, she receives a letter from the enshrined deity. The god, who was once worshipped as a divine beast but is now forgotten, wants Suzuka to serve as a shrine maiden and gather worshippers again. For Suzuka to do that, the god gives her a mysterious power that lets her perform “miracles,” plus fox ears and a tail (based on the god’s preference?).
Kadokawa published the original novel in September 2024.
Mozukuzu launched the manga adaptation of Ryūichi Suzuki‘s Dungeon Farm: Kicked Out of My Home, So I’m Homesteading in a Dungeon! light novel series in Square Enix‘s Gangan Online website in August 2023.

Now That I Can Control Reality With A Mouse Cursor Anime’s English Dub Debuts on October 4 – News
©Okumaro/Suiseisha Inc.
WWWave Corporation‘s anime streaming platform OceanVeil announced on Monday that the English dub of the television anime of Okumaro‘s Now That I Can Control Reality With A Mouse Cursor, I’m Gonna Click Away On The Girls! (Mouse Cursor de Genjitsu o Sōsa Dekiru Yō ni Natta node, Onna no Ko o Ippai Click Shima~su, or Click Me All Over) manga will debut on the service on October 4 alongside the Japanese television premiere.
The company revealed the English dub cast:
The dub staff includes:
The anime is part of the AnimeFesta programming block in Japan. The anime will debut on television in Japan on October 4 at 25:00 (effectively October 5 at 1:00 a.m.) on Tokyo MX and BS11. The anime began streaming in Japan earlier on AnimeFesta starting on September 11. OceanVeil also began streaming the anime on the same day.
OceanVeil describes Now That I Can Control Reality With A Mouse Cursor, I’m Gonna Click Away On The Girls! anime’s story:
Takumi, an ordinary otaku, is sitting in IT class when he notices something impossible: his computer mouse cursor has sprung right out of the screen and into the real world! Panicked, he asks his bossy childhood friend Mone if she can see it, but she just brushes him off. Realizing the cursor is completely invisible to others and under his control, Takumi decides to test it out by slipping it between the gaps in Mone’s clothes and clicking away!
As Mone writhes from the unfamiliar sensation, Takumi uncovers a floating real-life context menu featuring incredible controls like “Cut”, “Paste”, “Double Sensitivity Mode”, and even “The Real Deal” (if he can earn enough Click Points!). But keeping his new powers a secret isn’t easy. Between accidental wardrobe malfunctions caused by ‘Cut’, mysterious classmates pursuing him, and art club presidents who might actually see the cursor, Takumi’s clicking spree is about to set off a wild, slapstick chain reaction!
Kazuya Nakamura is the anime’s planning and executive producer, Reiga Goto is the producer, Studio Hōkiboshi is producing the anime, and Suiseisha is credited for production. Makoto Sokuza is the director, Eeyo Kurosaki is overseeing the series scripts, Minakawa Akapiv is the character designer, and Harimasu is the chief animation director.
Other staff members include:
Okumaro began serializing the manga on the ComicFesta service in March 2024, and Suiseisha published the manga’s fourth volume on September 18. Coolmic is publishing the manga in English under the title Click Me All Over.
