As a die-hard fan of “My Hero Academia,” I can’t help but feel that Rabbit Hero Mirko deserved a chance to become the new Symbol of Peace in the series. Since her debut, she’s consistently put everything on the line when it comes to battling against All For One and his minions. Despite losing several limbs throughout her heroic journey, she’s never let that hinder her determination. This tenacity was evidently showcased in the “post-credit scene” of the final manga volume. The recent finale offers a sneak peek into Mirko’s future, and it’s clear to me that nothing will deter her from making our world a safer place.

The anime titled “Dandadan” has sparked a frenzy in the anime community. Fans are captivated by Momo and Okarun’s bond, as they embark on a quest to find the latter’s lost testicles. Viewers were so impressed with just three seconds of the first episode that they proclaimed it the pinnacle of 2024 anime and the best new series. However, there’s a twist – another new anime has quietly claimed the title of “peak.” While “Dandadan” is indeed an outstanding series, deserving of all its accolades, this newcomer has managed to steal the limelight.

2024 saw some impressive selections of free games on the Epic Games Store, but the current lineup might just take the cake as the best yet. Over the past month, Epic Games has been particularly generous with its free offerings, culminating in an unexpected gift of nine games all at once. The first batch of free games for December 2024 has now been released, and in a nutshell, they’re outstanding.

The production for the second season of “One Piece” is ongoing, with a prominent actor from the popular live-action adaptation suggesting that the Netflix series may resume next year. Although filming appears to be nearing completion, Netflix has not yet revealed some of the major new characters – both heroes and villains – who are expected to appear in the Grand Line. In a recent making-of video, eagle-eyed viewers with an extensive knowledge of the Straw Hat Pirates have caught a sneak peek at one of the second season’s main antagonists. The character, Mr. 3, who will be portrayed by David Dastmalchian, has been spotted off-screen, hinting that he is part of the production.
