After a six-year wait, expectations for the new season of One-Punch Man were fairly low – fans just wanted a good adaptation. The director’s communication with fans beforehand suggested it would be an improvement over the second season, but as episodes released, it became clear the quality was actually worse. With only one episode left, fans are worried about the anime’s future. Netflix has indicated the series will continue with the same studio, J.C. Staff, despite the negative reception.

2026 is no exception, so here are just 10 horror games players should look forward to next year.

Over time, opinions on the film have become increasingly divided, much like opinions on everything related to Star Wars. Its flaws have become more noticeable with repeated viewings – it’s often criticized for being too similar to the original film. This, combined with the strong disagreements surrounding the sequel trilogy, the controversy over The Last Jedi, and the disappointing conclusion of The Rise of Skywalker, ultimately casts a negative light on the entire work.

When Nintendo first released the Nintendo Entertainment System, they offered several packages. One of the most appealing included R.O.B., or Robotic Operating Buddy – a real robot meant to help players in games. While R.O.B. seemed like a smart idea and was certainly eye-catching, it didn’t actually work very well. It only functioned with two games, and even then, it was often unreliable. Though gamers were ultimately disappointed with R.O.B., it was a huge success for Nintendo’s marketing, effectively encouraging people to buy the NES.

The sequel to Jujutsu Kaisen, titled Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo, immediately became the most popular new manga of 2025 with its first chapter. It was followed closely by Chapter 198 of Chainsaw Man and Chapter 1161 of One Piece. Fans were excited for the continuation after feeling the original series ended too soon, and the debut of Jujutsu Kaisen Modulo quickly became the most-read chapter on the Manga Plus platform.

Many fantastic Batman stories exist, and fans frequently debate which ones are truly the best. However, some popular stories don’t quite live up to the hype. Here are five Batman stories that are often praised more than they deserve.

Though Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Marvel Zombies happened in different universes, Captain America: Brave New World, Daredevil: Born Again, Thunderbolts, Ironheart, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and Eyes of Wakanda all took place on the main MCU Earth (designated Earth-616) in 2025. These six projects introduced a lot of exciting new characters to the screen – some were reimaginings of previously disappointing adaptations, and others were appearing on screen for the very first time. This is a positive step for Marvel, suggesting even more fresh faces will be joining the MCU in future installments.

The members of HUNTR/X are a powerful force when they collaborate, but each Demon Hunter has a unique fighting style that matches her personality and past. This makes the world of KPop Demon Hunters richer and more interesting. Here’s a look at how these three girls battle demons.

Looking ahead to 2026, it’s clear fantasy is going to dominate the box office – we’ve got Christopher Nolan’s follow-up and a new take on Narnia coming our way. But 2025 hasn’t been a total fantasy drought. While things were a bit quieter this year, there were still some real gems, and I want to highlight six of my favorites.
