The upcoming Winter 2025 lineup is bursting with engaging anime. From continuations of cherished series such as “The Apothecary Diaries” and “Dr. Stone,” to a fresh entry like Sakamoto Days, fans will be spoiled for choice when it comes to selecting shows.

Get ready to dust off your favorite mobile devices and revisit your beloved apps as we step back into the groove of the mid-2010s! Shueisha is gearing up to celebrate a significant milestone next year, marking the 10th anniversary of their Shonen Jump+ platform. In honor of this occasion, they will be hosting an event in Japan, aptly named “Shonen Jump+ Exhibition Jump Plus 10th Anniversary.” This celebration will showcase a decade’s worth of artwork and videos from the app’s most popular manga series, offering a nostalgic look back at ten years of Jump+.

Recent updates suggest that DC Studios is working on a new film featuring the villain Clayface from Batman. Details regarding this upcoming project are scarce, except that it’s being penned by Mike Flanagan, who has previously expressed interest in creating a Clayface movie and is known for his work on “Doctor Sleep” and “The Haunting of Hill House.” Potential production may commence as early as 2025. Interestingly, this isn’t the first time we’re seeing Clayface; he has been featured in “Creature Commandos,” teased in an Easter egg from “The Penguin,” appeared on the animated series “Harley Quinn” which is about to start a new season, and made an appearance in “Batman: Caped Crusader.” This raises questions about how the film will mesh with either the DCU or other DC timelines, what it could imply, and whether it might be too specialized for fans.

Oshi no Ko might initially seem like a vibrant, entertaining story featuring an enchanting idol with shining eyes, but it’s far from that in reality. The series subtly reveals itself as a deeply somber tale where not all characters survive till the end. Despite its promotional pitch as a light-hearted, enjoyable experience, it often leaves fans feeling unsettled due to unexpected deaths and a sense of impending doom throughout. The story delves deep into the darker aspects of the entertainment and idol industry, shedding light on the pressures and expectations these individuals face, as well as the hazards of fanaticism, such as stalking and the destructive consequences of obsession and vengeance.
