Demon Slayer Summer Update Might Hint at Streaming Release

I’m excited to share that Crunchyroll is hosting a Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle Celebration at Anime Expo on July 3rd. They’re bringing together the Japanese voice actors for a special event looking back at the Infinity Castle movie. Natsuki Hanae (Tanjiro), Takahiro Sakurai (Giyu), and Saori Hayami (Shinobu) will all be there—it’ll be Hayami-san’s first time at Anime Expo! Plus, Ufotable will be showing a special video from the Infinity Castle release and even a sneak peek at their newest film project. It sounds like a must-see for any Demon Slayer or Ufotable fan!

I’m Worried Masters of the Universe Is Repeating This $208M Fantasy Franchise Reboot Bomb

The movie Obsession is still exceeding all predictions, and Backrooms had an incredibly successful opening weekend, earning $81 million in the US. This makes it seem likely that Masters of the Universe will struggle, just like last year’s Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Both films are modern updates to popular 1980s fantasy franchises, and both tried to recapture that classic feel with a playful, self-aware sense of humor.

Netflix’s Biggest Show Right Now Is a Global Streaming Hit, But the Biggest Market Is Ignoring It

Netflix’s current Top 10 in the U.S. features the latest season of The Four Seasons, along with new series Nemesis and The Boroughs, and a special honoring Eddie Murphy. Surprisingly, despite its popularity worldwide, the #1 non-English language show, Berlin and the Lady with an Ermine, isn’t on the list at all. This is particularly notable because it’s a spin-off from the hugely successful show Money Heist, and its second season, yet it hasn’t resonated with American audiences. The numbers show Berlin is a hit globally, but not in the United States.

A Surprising New Free RPG is Dominating the Steam Charts (But Is It Any Good?)

I’ve been noticing everyone’s been playing TBH: Task Bar Hero lately! It launched on Steam on May 27th and started with a good number of players – around 8,000 at the same time. But it’s really taken off since then, and the numbers are way up now. It’s kind of weird though, because even though so many people are playing, the Steam reviews are actually ‘Mixed’ – only 49% of them are positive. I’m really curious why this new idle RPG is becoming so popular despite those less-than-stellar reviews!

DC Just Radically Changed Batman’s Calling Card After 84 Years

Batman consistently adapts to the times while remaining true to his core identity. Recently, DC Comics has updated one of his most recognizable symbols: the Bat-Signal. Traditionally used to call Batman to major crimes and signal his presence to everyone in Gotham, the Bat-Signal has been reimagined in the upcoming Batman (2025) #10. It now appears in a completely new way and carries a different meaning than it used to.
