Here at egmr.ru, we’re big fans of horror and often talk about the lack of truly scary anime, beyond adaptations of Junji Ito’s work. This month’s new series, Kaya-Chan Isn’t Scary, centers around a seemingly emotionless kindergartner who secretly works to banish evil spirits. While the show is definitely funny, it promises some genuinely creepy creatures if it follows the original manga by Taro Yuri – potentially making it one of the scariest anime of 2026. It arrives on January 11th, and could be a great watch for fans of both comedy and horror.

This episode was a standout time travel story for Marvel, trapping the S.H.I.E.L.D. team in a loop where the Earth was repeatedly destroyed. The story cleverly connected to the events of Avengers: Infinity War, revealing that their attempts to protect Earth from Thanos had disastrous consequences. It was a smart and well-executed plot that integrated Coulson and Quake into the larger Marvel Cinematic Universe, but it also created a significant issue.

Brad Pitt would be the answer. He’s appeared in science fiction films four times – twice in true sci-fi movies and twice in films that include sci-fi elements but aren’t purely science fiction.

Thomas Brandon and Jennifer Yale, the creators of the show, recently discussed with ComicBook how they blended the spy and science fiction genres, the psychological aspects of the series, the creative talent of James Wan, and their plans for a potential second season.

Several anime series finished airing in 2025, whether completing their entire story or just a single season, and many of their endings were particularly memorable. While a lot of shows had strong conclusions throughout the year, these five delivered some of the very best.

It’s common for popular game series to release special content – like updated versions of old games, merchandise, or entirely new titles – when they reach significant anniversaries. 2026 promises to be a big year for gaming celebrations, with potential new releases and goodies from franchises like Animal Crossing and Sonic the Hedgehog, among others. Let’s take a look at some of the major gaming anniversaries happening in 2026 and what fans might be able to expect.

DC Comics seems to be building on what worked well in 2025. Recent announcements reveal a busy year ahead, starting with the finale of DC K.O., the return of the Vertigo imprint, and a wave of new and accessible comic series under the DC Next Level banner. There’s a lot to be excited about for DC fans in 2026 – here are 5 highlights.

The song “No Place Like Home” references the famous scene in The Wizard of Oz where Dorothy (Judy Garland) attempts to return to Kansas. The title is a nod to Dorothy’s repeated line, “There’s no place like home,” which she says while clicking her heels. Interestingly, this song and “The Girl in the Bubble” were specifically written for the film Wicked: For Good and weren’t part of the original Broadway show. In Wicked: For Good, “No Place Like Home” carries a different meaning than in The Wizard of Oz, and it deeply connects Elphaba’s story to the main ideas of the Wicked narrative.

A recent report from The Wrap looks at the current status of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and what’s on the line for it this year. According to Paul Degarabedian, a senior media analyst at Comscore, 2026 could be a pivotal year for the MCU, potentially even more important than when it first began. He explained that the success of Phase 6 is crucial for the continuation of the franchise into a Phase 7.

Tech4Gamers reported on December 31, 2025, that Lionsgate confirmed a high-budget John Wick game is in the works – a rumor fans have been hoping for.

There’s already a John Wick game called John Wick Hex, but this new title will be a much larger, full-scale AAA game. Details are scarce, as expected before an announcement, but rumors suggest a significant investment is going into the project, hinting at a massive and popular game when it’s released.
