While opinions are mixed among anime fans, there’s renewed excitement about the possibility of a continuation for Yuri!! on Ice. The original series, which premiered in 2016, was a huge success and a turning point for the animation studio. Despite the cancellation of Yuri!!! on Ice the Movie: Ice Adolescence in 2024, fans are still hoping to see more of the story.

Interestingly, many truly great TV shows actually improve over time. Some of the most compelling character developments happen because the later seasons continue to build strong storylines, creating some of the most memorable narratives ever told on television. But it’s rare for a show to finish perfectly – only a handful manage to end with a truly exceptional final season, providing the best possible conclusion to their story.

This Star Wars comic series takes place after the fall of the Empire, with the heroes now working to protect the newly formed New Republic. They face a new danger in Reyna Oskure, a powerful witch who plans to incite war against the Republic by manipulating the people of the planet Nagi and the Fenril Sector. Luke and Han are battling Reyna’s forces on Nagi, while Leia is forced to make a difficult choice: remain on Chandrila, the capital, or go to their aid. Her decision mirrors a similar challenge Luke faced in The Empire Strikes Back.

With the recent success of 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple and rumors of another film in the works, fans are rediscovering the 28 Days Later franchise. Now, 28 Weeks Later, directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, is available to stream on Hulu, having joined the platform on January 1st. The film picks up six months after the original 28 Days Later, following the US Army’s attempt to restore order in a quarantined London, before a new outbreak of the deadly Rage Virus erupts within the supposedly safe zone.

Those who boast and rely on temporary authority often confuse harshness with leadership, but their facade crumbles when faced with true determination. These shallow villains lack genuine beliefs, and the narrative ultimately reveals their weakness. They serve primarily to highlight the strong principles and selflessness of heroes who fight for what they believe in.

Marathon focuses on a fast-paced cycle of collecting resources, surviving, and competing against both other players and computer-controlled enemies.

The end of January still brings some major game releases, including the highly anticipated Code Vein 2. Highguard is also generating a lot of interest, especially considering its challenging development process.

The 2012 film Dredd, featuring Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby, and Lena Headey, takes place in the massive and dangerous city of Mega City One. Crime is rampant, and the only people enforcing the law are “judges” – individuals who have the power to arrest, convict, and execute criminals. Dredd (Urban) is one of the most feared judges, and he’s paired with Cassandra (Thirlby), a new recruit with strong psychic abilities. When a major crime is reported, they investigate the city’s most dangerous district, controlled by Ma-Ma (Headey), a ruthless drug lord determined to defend her criminal empire.

The first four episodes were originally released as an animated movie in theaters. While some fans weren’t thrilled with the new character Ahsoka Tano, the show quickly gained popularity.
