On ABEMA, "SHIBUYA ANIME BASE" #ShibuAni (read: ShibuAni) #55 was broadcast live on Friday, August 1, 2025, from 9:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.

This time's guest was voice actress and artist Kiyono Yasuno, who is currently in charge of the ending theme.

In the "Iwai's Recommended Summer Anime" segment, where Yuki Iwai from Haraichi introduces his favorite works, he picked "Turkey!" While it may seem like a "youth bowling anime" at first glance, its surprising plot involves time-traveling to the Sengoku period. Iwai excitedly discussed the unpredictable charm of the work, saying, "The developments are just too unexpected," and, "Sengoku-era samurai depictions suddenly get thrown in, and my emotions go all wobbly."

Next, Iwai introduced "Takopi's Original Sin," a new summer anime that has been making waves on social media. His main recommendation point was, "The developments are just so intriguing!" Furthermore, he passionately commented, "There are some heavy and painful scenes, but that's exactly why I just want them to be happy, for things to go in a good direction! It makes me want to see what happens next."
