Games

Here is an overview of the game, via XLGAMES:

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics really matched the fun and energetic feel of the TV show, so we checked in with Thomas to see what was happening with the comic series now that the show has ended. He shared an exclusive preview of issue #5 and confirmed that the comics will continue even without the show!

What really stands out about the show is its humor. While Game of Thrones had its funny parts, largely thanks to characters like Tyrion Lannister and Bronn, it wasn’t primarily a comedy. House of the Dragon takes this even further, being a much more serious and dramatic show.

The adaptation of Dunk and Egg feels remarkably faithful to the source material, capturing the right tone and scope for this more intimate story, and much of the dialogue is lifted directly from George R.R. Martin’s writing. However, as with any adaptation, some expansion was needed to fill the time and give the actors, particularly those in supporting roles, more opportunities to develop their characters.

Even so, the world of anime has many fantastic shows and movies, many of which are beautiful to watch. Beyond the impressive animation, the stories are engaging enough that even people new to anime will quickly become fans.

To celebrate this big achievement, the anime’s official website announced a giveaway, though it’s only open to residents of Japan. The website also included a special message from Shōta Goshozono, the director of Seasons 2 and 3. Goshozono took over directing duties from Sunghoo Park, who directed the first season, and helped make the series even more popular. The animation style has evolved quite a bit since Season 1, and fans are loving the exciting action scenes. As the director of Season 3 as well, Goshozono shared some of his plans for the anime’s future.

Ryan Murphy has a brand new, unique series coming soon that will explore important issues like beauty standards and the dangers of corporate greed. Plus, Mike Flanagan, fresh off his hit show The Life of Chuck, is adapting another Stephen King story. We’re also seeing the finales of a couple of popular horror series, so expect things to get intense as storylines wrap up. Overall, 2026 looks promising for horror fans, although some of the new shows are taking bigger creative risks.

The Winter 2026 anime season has a lot to offer, including returning favorites like Hell’s Paradise Season 2 and Fire Force Season 3 Part 2, as well as new seasons of My Hero Academia: Vigilantes. However, Frieren has truly stood out, quickly becoming a hit and even topping the charts on MyAnimeList. Following its first season, Frieren surpassed Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood to become the highest-rated anime ever, achieving a score of 9.29. Now, Season 2 has taken the top spot with a debut rating of 9.34. As the story progresses, Frieren and her companions will continue their exciting journey towards Aureole.

It’s frustrating because we’re only seeing adaptations of Stephen King stories that haven’t been adapted before. Yes, we’re getting a movie for Billy Summers and Mister Yummy, and a Fairy Tale series, but those aren’t really re-adaptations, they’re new projects. And even the Overlook show, a Shining spinoff, doesn’t feel like a true re-telling – it’s expanding on the story rather than revisiting it. It feels like we’re missing out on seeing some of his classic stories brought to life again.

A new Armored Trooper Votoms project, titled Die Graue Hexe (or The Gray Witch), is coming out later this year, directed by Mamoru Oshii. It’s part of the celebration for Sunrise’s 50th anniversary, and Production I.G. is collaborating on it. A new trailer and website have been released to build excitement. However, fans wanting to rewatch the original Armored Trooper Votoms anime will find it’s currently unavailable for legal streaming in North America, as it’s no longer on HIDIVE. Hopefully, the original series will become available somewhere around the time the new project is released.
