Anime References: A Growing Trend in BBB
This isn’t the first time that anime has found its way into the narrative of BBB. Last year’s edition, BBB 24, prominently featured “Bling-Bang-Bang-Born, ”the opening theme from “Mashle”by Creepy Nuts, capturing audience attention on the date of its release.
In one memorable segment, contestants were seen dancing to the song, with one remarking, “I’ve never heard this one, ”unaware that they had been isolated in the house and cut off from pop culture:

TV Globo’s Longstanding Relationship with Anime
Although “Death Note”has never been part of TV Globo’s lineup, the network has a rich history of showcasing anime. Notably, it previously aired a children’s block called TV Globinho, featuring well-known series such as “Dragon Ball”and “Digimon.”
Globo Group also provides a streaming platform, Globoplay, which features titles like “Dragon Ball Z Kai, ””Pokémon Sun & Moon, ”and “Digimon Adventure 2, ”as well as select Studio Ghibli films broadcast on Gloob, a channel dedicated to children’s programming.
Moreover, the unexpected nod to anime in Brazilian media isn’t entirely rare; the nation’s Vice-President has made public references involving popular anime characters.
“Death Note”remains accessible for streaming on major platforms such as Netflix, Prime Video, and Hulu in the U. S., further highlighting the series’ enduring popularity.
