Anime is seemingly everywhere these days, with the medium having transformed from a niche interest to a mainstream form of entertainment in recent years.Everything from major sports leaguesto long-established brands, fast food chains, and popular global streaming services wants a piece of anime’s success, and in a recent illustration by aShōnen Jumpartist,Disney is seemingly the latest household name to clash with the art form. In a post shared on X, Kazue Kato, the artist behind theBlue Exorcistseries, gave fans a look at her take on the cast ofMoana 2....

When first dipping your toes inanime, it can be surprisingly difficult to figure out what series would be a great icebreaker. As a Japanese medium, the writing and aesthetics will also require getting used to, as some genres and directors don’t believe in the standard happy ending. As arapidly evolving industry, animeis sure to have a genre, show, or movie that is bound to appeal to just about any type of fan, no matter their interest....

One could argue that Steam and theEpic GamesStore have had a contentious relationship for a while now, with Epic steadily building an impressive library of exclusives for its platform. But it appears that it doesn’t need to be this way, at least according to Epic founder and CEO Tim Sweeney, who says thatEpic Gameswould stop buying exclusives if Steam would change its revenue split. For those unfamiliar, Valve takes 30% of all revenue from game sales on Steam, a number that Epic and many developers feel is unfair....

I got tired of waiting forLEGOto make my most hoped-forStar Warsset, so I found a truly epic custom upgrade instead. Last year, the LEGO Group released its newest iteration of the classic Imperial Star Destroyer. However, it doesn’t take much to make the model infinitely better. First seen inStar WarsRebels,Grand Admiral Thrawn’s personal Star Destroyer was one of a kind. Known as theChimaera, Thrawn’s cruiser featured upgraded weapon systems, and a stylized chimaera engraved on the ventral hull....

Pokémon Legends: Z-Ais taking trainers back to the France-inspired Kalos region, the setting of 2013’sPokémon X and Y.This pair ofPokémontitles introduced a healthy handful of creatures, locales, and mechanicsthat will return inLegends: Z-A, including the long-lost art of Mega Evolution. Mega Evolution, which allows certain Pokémon to transform into more formidable versions of themselves, vanished from mainlinePokémongames after the 3DS era. However,Legends: Z-A‘s trailer confirmed that it’s finally making a comeback....

Not too long ago, dimensional rifts began to appear inFortnite,leading to various theories and speculation about the upcoming changes in season 5. One such theory is theforthcoming destruction of Tomato Town,but for now, it seems the dimensional rift settled for Tomato Town’s mascot. Greasy Grove’s Durr Burger had also vanished but has recently been rediscovered in the real world. While Photographer Sela Shiloni was scouting in the Palmdale, California area, he discovered the Durr Burger mascot in the middle of nowhere....

Fortnitehas had a turbulent couple of months, but the battle royale free-to-play game seems to have plenty of content planned. After the successfulTravis Scott Astronomical Tour that broke concurrent player records, many have been excited to see what non-event based content would come to the title. It now seems that part of the Doomsday Device has been revealed as well as upcoming challenges. With that said, this information comes as a leak and may not be accurate....

According to the GameStop page, the PS5 will have support for 8k TVs, an 8-core AMD chipset, 3D audio,SSD storage, ray tracing capabilities, and backward compatibility with PS4 and PlayStation VR. These features have been hinted at or announced by Sony in the past, but not all of them have necessarily been confirmed in an official capacity. As it stands, Sony has kept relatively tight-lipped about the PS5, having yet to reveal the console’s design, price, release date, or offer any deep dive into its new features....

Captain Cold shows up for a second too While I may not particularly be fond ofInjustice 2‘s roster so far (did we really need so many Batman characters again), the main reason I’ve been drawn to the sequel is the new story. NetherRealm’s single player content has always knocked it out of the park, and ifInjustice 2continues that tradition I’m sold. This newest story trailer is the second part of the “Shattered Alliances” trailer featuringSuperman a few weeks back....

Frank Herbert’sDuneseries is a hefty one to get into, but one that’s very much worth giving a go if you’re at all into sci-fi. The books tell a very long and sprawling tale that goes beyond most other sci-fi series, but it pays to read it to have the best experience. Regardless of whether you’ve beenplaying aDunegame, have watched the movies, or just know about the novels and want to give them a try, there’s a reason Frank Herbert told this epic story in a specific order....

John Wayneturned down a Western movie later in his career that could have been hisbest Western sinceTrue Grit.Instead, he appeared in some lesser-remembered Westerns to wind down his career, none of which have the lasting legacy of the film he turned down. What is most impressive about the movie that The Duke rejected is that it was never made as a movie, with the director choosing to shut down the production rather than make it without the famed Western star....

Following its first major project,Death Stranding, which came out almost three years ago in 2019,Kojima Productions' next major release is still almost a total mystery, even though it’s been revealed that the team may have numerous projects in active development. The fact that the studio is looking to hire a number of game development veterans, however, certainly implies that there’s much to look forward to in the future. Kojima Productions, the game development studio behindDeath Stranding,is now hiring dozens of new game developers, including, but not limited to, writers and producers....
