I recently attended a Japanese event with Murase Shukou, the director of the latest Gundam movie. He was there to talk about the second film, and he confirmed that they’re already working on a third one! He seemed really relieved to have finished the second movie – he even joked about how he’d have been begging for support a couple of months ago. He’s thankful for the warm reception after five years and promised to try and get the third movie out a little faster. He also hinted that there’s a lot to look forward to in Part 3 and hopes everyone will watch it more than once.

The game Dispatch covers all nudity with large black bars, from explicit scenes to brief accidental exposures. Surprisingly, these bars also appear when characters make obscene gestures, and even the intense sex scene in episode four is largely muted. It’s odd that a game featuring graphic violence and strong language would censor gestures and nipples. For instance, players can witness brutal murders and hear profanity-filled monologues without censorship, yet a simple hand signal or exposed nipple is blocked. It doesn’t make sense that you can say a curse word but not convey the same message with a gesture.

From the start, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy has faced challenges in gaining acceptance. The show’s core idea – following young cadets striving for a hopeful future after a devastating galactic event called “the Burn” – genuinely captures the spirit of Star Trek. The series focuses on these cadets as they form friendships, navigate rivalries and first loves, all while training to become Starfleet officers under strict instructors, and facing a new threat to the Academy and the Federation. Despite a strong critical reception – earning an 89% score on Rotten Tomatoes – audience scores are much lower at 42% due to negative reviews, suggesting a deliberate attempt to undermine the show.

Although Capcom hasn’t officially announced details, a well-known Resident Evil insider, Dusk Golem, has shared new information. While Dusk Golem’s predictions outside of the Resident Evil series haven’t always been accurate, they’ve been a reliable source for news about the survival-horror games. According to this insider, Ada Wong and Chris Redfield won’t appear in the game – they may be mentioned, but they won’t be playable characters or have significant roles.

For many fans, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is now the primary way they experience Marvel stories outside of the comics, bringing beloved characters to life on screen. But because most MCU projects are live-action and expensive to make, the movies often stick to well-trodden ground compared to the more adventurous animated series of the past. Thankfully, the conclusion of this show wasn’t limited by those same constraints.

As a horror fan, I always come back to Final Destination. That one scene everyone remembers? It’s not a fluke – it’s part of what makes the whole series so brilliant. Plenty of horror movies can scare you with ghosts or killers, but Final Destination does something different. It messes with your head and makes you second-guess everything around you, even the little things. That’s what really sets it apart and, in my opinion, helped it become one of the best horror franchises of the 2000s.

Recent winter storms in Texas have caused delays in the production of English dubs for several Crunchyroll shows. As a result, new episodes of dubs for series like Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End and Trigun Stargaze will be released a week later than originally scheduled. You can find a complete list of updated release dates below.

While Apple TV+ has consistently released new episodes of Silo since it began, it remains to be seen if that pattern will continue through its final two seasons. This makes the upcoming return of Hulu’s critically acclaimed Paradise particularly noteworthy. The first season premiered in January 2025, and a second season was quickly confirmed, set to debut on February 23rd. What’s especially welcome is that viewers won’t need to rewatch the first season to understand what’s happening in the new one – a rarity for sci-fi shows these days.

The biggest disasters rarely come from external threats like aliens or supervillains. More often, it’s the heroes themselves – the Avengers accidentally cause global catastrophes while trying to work together, the X-Men mess with time when feelings run high, and any brilliant mind is likely to unleash consequences that ripple across the entire multiverse before the day is out.

As a movie critic, I’ve noticed something interesting about the Marvel Cinematic Universe: a lot of the really powerful characters aren’t always the ones grabbing headlines. Some are hiding their full potential, or their powers have been dialed back for the sake of the story. It’s easy to underestimate just how strong some of these heroes and villains truly are based on what we’ve seen so far – they’re quietly formidable, and it’s exciting to think about what they might be capable of down the line.
