Crunchyroll is ending its free, ad-supported anime streaming option on December 31, 2025. Users who currently watch anime for free with ads will need to subscribe to an ad-free plan to continue watching without interruption, according to a message noticed by fans on Reddit. This means Crunchyroll will no longer offer free anime with ads after that date, unless they decide to bring the option back in the future.
As a huge Zelda fan, I always think about Ocarina of Time when people talk about the best games ever. But today I was remembering Majora’s Mask, which came out 16 years ago! It was the end of what I consider the peak of the series, and it really took some risks. They tried out new things with the graphics and really focused on the characters, which made the game feel extra special and polished. It’s not always the first Zelda game people think of, but I think it’s a super important one because it connects so much of what came before with where the series has gone since then.
A key success of the Krakoa era was its ability to revitalize classic characters by presenting them in fresh and unexpected ways. This approach worked particularly well, and a prime example is the critically acclaimed X-Men series, Hellions. The 18-issue run focused on a compelling team of heroes and villains, united by their service to Krakoa and grappling with their personal demons through conflict. It was a truly excellent series and exactly the kind of innovative boost the X-Men line needed.
It’s likely actors are often given too much praise for a show’s success, but the performers in the Star Trek universe definitely put in the effort.

According to Variety, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 unexpectedly topped the box office this weekend, earning $63 million in the US. This is a strong result, exceeding initial predictions of $35-40 million. Although it’s a bit lower than the $80 million opening weekend of the first Five Nights at Freddy’s movie, it’s still a big success for Blumhouse Productions. With a production budget of only $36 million, the film, based on the popular video game, is projected to be profitable.
The original Yakuza game came out in Japan on December 8, 2005, for the PlayStation 2. Since then, the series has grown to include eight main games, plus remakes, remasters, and many spin-off titles. It has also inspired a Japanese movie and a television series on Amazon Prime.

We got our first preview of Resident Evil Requiem earlier this year, learning that you’ll play as a new character named Grace Ashcroft, who is the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft. Since then, Capcom has only shown small parts of the game, mostly reusing the same footage. It’s obvious they’re keeping a lot of the details secret, including rumors about multiple playable characters. Many fans believe Leon Kennedy will also be a main character, especially since he hasn’t appeared yet in this new direction for the series, but Capcom hasn’t confirmed or denied it.
DC Comics heroes are typically portrayed as very virtuous, so when they make mistakes or fall from grace, it feels truly heartbreaking, not just chaotic. But what would drive one hero to kill another? It usually comes down to disagreements about what’s right, someone being manipulated, or a desperate situation. Sometimes a hero feels trapped with no other options, or a villain cleverly orchestrates the events to make it happen.
