A particularly welcome surprise was the addition of animated TV shows that officially fit into the existing movie storyline. This decision proved to be a great success, as Star Wars: The Clone Wars remains the best Star Wars television series ever created. The show features excellent writing, deepening our understanding of characters like Anakin Skywalker and introducing beloved new characters like Ahsoka.
“We can go higher,” he declared, as if Ethereum were a rocket ship and not a decentralized network. 🚀🌕 Just a day after the gas limit got a 33% boost from 45 million to 60 million, Sassano’s already eyeing a 3X increase in the next couple of years.

I’m a huge anime fan, and honestly, there are so many amazing shows that don’t get the attention they deserve. But some really break through and offer something truly special – unique stories, incredible animation, you name it. I’ve been putting together a list of what I think are the very best anime from the last decade, and here’s how I’d rank them!

Ever wonder why the shoes in Wicked aren’t ruby red, like in the original Wizard of Oz? The change actually goes back to the book the musical is based on, and legal issues surrounding copyright. However, Wicked: For Good still finds a clever way to nod to the iconic ruby slippers. Here’s the story behind why Nessarose, and later Dorothy, wear silver shoes in this version.

This German series, created by Benjamin Gutsche, follows a family who moves into a smart home that’s been empty for half a century. Their arrival unexpectedly reactivates Cassandra, a robot built in the 1970s. Cassandra is determined to keep the family inside and will do anything to stop them from leaving. The suspenseful thriller, starring Lavinia Wilson, Mina Tander, Michael Klammer, and others, offers a chilling look at the potential dangers of artificial intelligence.

ETH’s monthly trading activity? More ups and downs than a polka dance at a circus! 🎪 Initially, it dipped like a sad clown into the $280-$380 billion range. But then-BOOM! Mid-year resurgence, baby! Volatility, institutional shenanigans, and macro shifts pushed the volume to a whopping $599 billion in August. That’s more liquidity than a pool party at Caesar’s palace! 🏊♂️💸

Beware – spoilers ahead for Wicked: For Good! The musical ends with Elphaba (played by Cynthia Erivo) giving Glinda her magical book, the Grimmerie, and assuring her everything will be okay before confronting Dorothy. Glinda watches in distress as Elphaba appears to be destroyed. However, Elphaba survives and escapes Oz with Fiyero, pausing at the edge of the Deadly Desert for one last look. Meanwhile, Glinda returns to the tower where she and Elphaba first met. As she sings a final rendition of “For Good,” the Grimmerie magically opens to a specific spell illustrated with two golden hands.

The idea of what makes a hero is a recurring question in My Hero Academia. At the beginning of the series, Midoriya seems like an impossible candidate – he’s born without any superpowers, or ‘Quirk’. This leaves both him and the audience wondering how he could ever become a hero. While All Might encourages him to believe he can be a hero early on, he immediately gives Midoriya the powerful ‘One for All’ Quirk. This feels like a contradiction – All Might initially suggests heroism comes from within, but then provides a power boost. Even by Season 8, the anime hasn’t clearly resolved this question of whether someone needs powers to be a true hero.
