The much-anticipated return of Dragon Ball Super is set for next year, with an unexpected appearance by Black Frieza signaling its impending comeback. After a prolonged hiatus following the demise of creator Akira Toriyama, it was revealed during the Jump Festa 2025 weekend that the manga will make a grand return in 2026. In the meantime, fans can look forward to Black Frieza stealing the limelight once more before they witness the next significant chapter of this beloved series.

There’s often been debate about whether the original Die Hard qualifies as a Christmas movie, and this discussion tends to overshadow the status of the second film. This might be because the first movie, directed by John McTiernan, is more iconic. However, it’s strange because Die Hard 2 clearly fits the mold of an R-rated Christmas action movie, which strengthens the argument that the original should also be considered as such.

The upcoming TV anime adaptation of Kenta Shinohara’s “Witch Watch,” which has been serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine since 2021, is set to debut next year as part of a new wave of franchises.

Xbox Series X and Series S gamers can now access around forty games at no cost, thanks to a unique event. While the concept of downloading Xbox games for free isn’t entirely new due to Xbox Game Pass, it still feels fresh for those who don’t have a subscription. These free downloads, however, are not complete game downloads but rather demos that let Xbox Series X and Series S players test out any included game before deciding whether or not to purchase it.

James Gunn, one of the co-heads at DC Studios, has put an end to any speculation about possible timeline issues between the upcoming Clayface movie and Matt Reeves’ The Batman sequel by saying just five words: “Clayface is in the DCU.” This means that Clayface’s story will be part of the ongoing continuity of the DC Universe, not the “Elseworlds” category where projects like Reeves’ Batman series are housed.

The eagerly awaited premiere of Sakamoto Days, a highly anticipated new anime series, is set for January as part of the upcoming Winter 2025 anime lineup. Fans have been given one last sneak peek at what they can expect from the show before its release. Yuto Suzuki’s Sakamoto Days marks the next big series to emerge from Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine and leads the charge among the upcoming hits slated for the following months. However, it hasn’t yet made a significant impact on audiences.
