Fans of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure will soon get a glimpse of what’s next for the series with Steel Ball Run. As part of Jump Festa 2026 later this month, a new preview showcasing the main characters has been released. Steel Ball Run is the seventh part of the popular anime franchise and promises a fresh take on the JoJo universe. You can see the new character designs, illustrated by chief animation director Daisuke Tsumagari, below.

Premiering earlier this year, The Medalist is an anime series brought to life by Studio ENGI, based on Tsurumaikada’s popular sports story. Like other sports anime such as Haikyu!! and Hajime no Ippo, it takes a real-world sport – ice skating – and adds exciting anime elements. The story centers on Inori Yuitsuka, an eleven-year-old with big dreams of becoming a top figure skater. Despite being told she’s started training too late, she finds a mentor who believes in her, and together they aim to conquer the world of competitive ice skating. The second season of The Medalist will arrive on January 24th of next year, and previews suggest the next major arc will focus on the “Chubu Block Tournament.”

As a big fan, I was honestly surprised when Assassin’s Creed Unity dropped naval combat – everyone loved sailing in the previous games! While Xbox 360 and PS3 owners could still enjoy it in Assassin’s Creed Rogue, it kind of got lost in the shuffle with everyone moving to the newer consoles. They did eventually remaster Rogue for PS4 and Xbox One, but by then a lot of people had already moved on. But lately, there’s been a lot of talk about a complete remake of Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag, which would be amazing – and it sounds like it might actually be happening!

DC Comics has a particularly strong history in animation, with many of its animated shows considered even better than the live-action versions. Classics like Batman: The Animated Series revolutionized dramatic storytelling in cartoons, and series such as Justice League Unlimited and Young Justice demonstrated that complex stories could work well for younger audiences. These shows established a high standard for quality, but focusing solely on DC and Marvel means overlooking some of the most creative and engaging animation available.

Netflix added all seven seasons of the classic show The West Wing on Tuesday morning, giving subscribers access to all 154 episodes. With many popular shows leaving Netflix lately, this is a particularly good addition to their streaming library.
