Paimon just got a copy of the “Liyue Gazette” from the government, and it’s been over a week since the Lantern Rite festival began! Let’s check it out together and see what’s happening this year!
On February 16th, players with a Nintendo Switch – and those with the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, thanks to compatibility – will finally be able to experience Caves of Qud. This sci-fi roguelike game first launched in early access in 2015 and will have its full release at the end of 2024, but for science fiction enthusiasts, it’s been a long wait that will be well worth it.
But there’s so much more great anime out there! So, we’ve put together another list of short series that everyone will enjoy, not just those new to anime.
Many highly-rated manga series with dedicated fans never get turned into anime. Recently, rumors began circulating that From Far Away by Kyoko Hikawa might finally be adapted, which came as a surprise. Hikawa is a legendary manga artist, known for creating popular and critically acclaimed works like Kouya no Tenshidomo and Otogimoyou Ayanishiki, and many more.
At the end of Deep Space Nine, Benjamin Sisko vanished, and fans wondered if he would ever come back. He was a very devoted family man, and it was painful to see him leave his loved ones, particularly his son, Jake. While Starfleet Academy established that Jake never saw his father again, he did feel his father’s presence without being able to confirm it. This outcome has sparked debate, but it ultimately felt like the correct choice for his character.
The rise of fantasy on TV has had its ups and downs, with some promising shows getting cancelled and others stalled indefinitely. However, the successful fantasy series of the 2020s demonstrate that the genre can work well on television, giving fans optimism for upcoming adaptations like Fourth Wing and The Stormlight Archive.
When you watch it again, you begin to notice how key ideas are subtly introduced through recurring lines and images. You also realize each season cleverly reuses the same galactic setting in new ways. The truly great episodes create a sense of a vast, connected galaxy without making it feel limited, and that’s what keeps viewers engaged and returning for more.
Supergirl’s death was meant to represent the end of an era for DC Comics, marking a shift from the Silver and Bronze Ages – that was the purpose of the Crisis event. However, her story didn’t truly end. In comic books, characters rarely stay gone. After Crisis, DC altered the history of Krypton, initially making Superman the only survivor. Later, readers were introduced to a new Supergirl from another world: Matrix. Created by Lex Luthor, Matrix was a shapeshifting being who took on the role of Supergirl on her own Earth. Eventually, she returned to the main Earth and continued as Supergirl, even falling in love with a younger version of Lex Luthor (a clone). This all led to what many consider the best version of the character: Linda Danvers, featured in the classic Supergirl series (Vol. 4) #1-80, written by the acclaimed Peter David.
According to industry insider Nick Baker, who often reports on Xbox but also has sources at Nintendo, Nintendo Switch Online is planning to add games from three classic platforms: Wii, Nintendo DS, and Sega CD. Baker says the Wii games will likely be playable with a new Wii Remote that doesn’t need a sensor bar. DS games will probably use a separate screen attachment, while Sega CD games should work similarly to how other Sega consoles are currently supported on the service.
The marketing for this movie is very different from how Marvel promoted Avengers: Doomsday. That film, which isn’t out until December, already had four teaser trailers shown in theaters for a week each, alongside Avatar: Fire & Ash, before being released online. This makes people wonder when we’ll see the trailer for Brand New Day, and if it will appear during the Super Bowl.
