HIDIVE announced that the 1998 anime series Sorcerous Stabber Orphen will be removed from its platform on March 31st. Currently, no other major streaming services offer the show, meaning this will be the last day U.S. fans can legally stream it.
A recent viral post on X (formerly Twitter) is revealing a hidden secret in the original Pokémon games that many fans are only now discovering. While some longtime players may already know about it, it’s new information for a lot of people. The post has already been viewed over 800,000 times.
Beyond a third Monsters, Inc. movie, Pixar is developing several new projects. These include Gatto, an animated film about a cat burglar pulling off a daring heist in Venice, and Ono Ghost Market, inspired by folklore about magical marketplaces where the living and the dead meet. They’re also creating their first-ever musical, which will be directed by Domee Shi, known for Turning Red.
![The nonlinear generation of higher harmonics-frequencies designated [latex] \omega_i [/latex]-exhibits distinct decay properties, as demonstrated with initial data encompassing three harmonics at [latex] (\Omega_1, \Omega_2, \Omega_3) = (1, 2, 3) [/latex], revealing the complex dynamics inherent in frequency decomposition.](https://arxiv.org/html/2603.04501v1/2603.04501v1/fig_2.png)
New research demonstrates that while general relativity can often be accurately modeled with linear approximations, significant nonlinear effects – including the generation of higher harmonics – are present in strong gravitational systems.
As a huge Batman fan, I often hear people talking about classics like The Dark Knight Returns and Batman: The Long Halloween – and rightfully so, they’re amazing. But if you’re new to Batman comics, or haven’t read them in a while, it can be tough knowing where to start now. So, I’ve put together a list of series that I think are essential reads, not just because of where Batman’s story is at in the DC Universe today, but also because they’re the most exciting and talked-about recent runs.
It’s rare for an anime to be perfect, but some manage it right away. Several one-season shows, like Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Death Note, come very close. A few longer series also start incredibly strong, such as Vinland Saga and Mob Psycho 100. Sometimes, a particularly amazing season in the middle of a longer show can completely elevate the entire series. That’s what happened with the shows listed – they were good at first, but really became exceptional after a standout addition.
With Season 2 of the live-action series coming soon, Netflix has given fans a first glimpse of Brook, the popular musician from the Straw Hat Pirates. Actor Martial T. Batchamen will portray this important member of Luffy’s crew. Unlike the original manga, where Brook appears later, the series will introduce him earlier through a flashback. This flashback will focus on the Rumbar Pirates and their connection to Laboon, a massive whale, as the show adapts the Reverse Mountain Arc.
Lee Child’s Jack Reacher novels, like many books, are influenced by a variety of detective stories and ideas. The character himself was partly inspired by the author’s own life experiences. However, instead of simply copying existing detective tropes, Child created a unique identity for Reacher by intentionally challenging and reshaping the typical conventions of the crime thriller genre.
Since its release in 2016, Stardew Valley has become a popular choice for players looking for a relaxing gaming experience, becoming as well-loved as games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Disney Dreamlight Valley, and The Sims 4. But a new cozy game coming out in 2025, called Tiny Bookshop, could potentially become the next big hit in the genre.
A zombie show doesn’t have to be realistic – it’s common for characters to overcome incredible odds while facing the undead. However, when you revisit the series, even long after it’s ended, certain plot holes and inconsistencies become noticeable.
