Although these series remain incredibly popular and well-known, the final parts of their stories proved controversial. Many fans were left unsatisfied with loose ends and endings that didn’t quite live up to expectations. Despite being among the most beloved Shonen manga ever created, these seven series faced criticism when they concluded.
Even now, many science fiction fans consider Dark to be a nearly flawless series. It masterfully explored the unsettling idea that our lives are predetermined and the lasting emotional impact of trauma passed down through families. Unlike most time travel shows which often ignore plot holes, Dark built its story around a meticulously crafted, self-contained timeline, treating every cause-and-effect loop and paradox as an integral part of its design.
Certain anime from the ’80s have become hugely popular and define the decade. But there were many other excellent shows from that era that deserve recognition, even if they’ve been forgotten over time. Now is a perfect time to rediscover these fantastic, lesser-known anime classics from the ’80s.
As a huge fan of Mike Flanagan’s work, I’m really excited about his next projects! He’s tackling Stephen King again, this time with adaptations of The Mist and Carrie. I think it’s smart he’s choosing these stories, because they’re both classics that have been remade a few times already, so there’s a built-in audience and a lot of potential to do something really special.
Under the shadow of the Mexican sun, the global standard-setter for anti-money laundering, countering the financing of terrorism, and countering proliferation financing, unveiled its fifth Plenary, a gathering of weary officials who seemed to have more wrinkles than a used dollar bill. The FATF, ever the overworked parent, announced new digital asset reports, country evaluations, and a renewed focus on Iran, a nation so blacklisted it might as well be a ghost in the machine.

In this fragile truce, a recent on-chain evaluation-courtesy of CryptoQuant, that most diligent of market scribes-suggests that BTC and its crypto kin remain at the mercy of further volatility. A troubling trend, to be sure, but one that whispers of larger forces at play. After all, what is a market if not a stage for the grand performances of the wealthy?
Van-Zee has been missing for a while, but DC Comics recently reintroduced a Kryptonian Nightwing during the DC All In event, with a unique spin. A young man named Bryce Morgan was changed by powerful magical forces and became a Kryptonian adult based on stories of the original Dick Grayson. Taking the name Nightwing-Prime, Bryce tried to save the world as the dangerous being called the Zanni launched a devastating attack on Blüdhaven. Fortunately, Nightwing-Prime has defeated the Zanni with a heroic sacrifice.
What’s truly remarkable about the show is the depth it gave to every character, no matter how small the role. Even characters who only appeared in one episode felt fully realized, with believable emotions and motivations, and were brought to life by fantastic performances. This meant that many actors who later became major stars contributed to stories that made the show a superhero classic. From villains to more subtle, emotional roles, these episodes demonstrate the incredible talent involved in creating Batman’s animated world.
It’s still unclear which of the two FromSoftware games – Elden Ring or The Duskbloods – will be released on the Switch 2 first. While Elden Ring has been available on other platforms since 2022, making it a likely candidate, the delay of Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition now opens the door for The Duskbloods to potentially arrive on the Switch 2 first, which wouldn’t be a bad thing.
