Now is an ideal time to enjoy the classic Pokemon anime episodes more effortlessly than ever, without spending a dime! The 25th anniversary of the enduring video game turned anime series, Pokemon, has presented an excellent chance for us to reminisce about its rich history. As Ash Ketchum relinquished his leading role in the Pokemon anime and handed over to a fresh batch of characters, there’s been a resurgence of nostalgia among fans who are eager to retrace Ash’s journeys throughout the years.

From a passionate fan perspective, I’m thrilled about the expansion of the DC Universe (DCU) with Max’s “Creature Commandos,” a mature animated series penned by James Gunn. This isn’t a fresh start for the narrative that commenced with 2013’s “Man of Steel” and concluded with “Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” in 2023. Instead, this series is part of the DCU family tree, having initially been conceived under the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Although the DCEU might seem to be gone, it’s not entirely buried, echoing a memorable exchange between Henry Cavill’s Superman and Ben Affleck’s Batman in “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” (a film that doesn’t feature in the new DCU’s canon).

The trailer for Star Trek: Section 31 gives off a suspenseful spy vibe, as suggested by the video dropped by Paramount+ this past weekend. This two-minute sneak peek features Michelle Yeoh reprising her role as Philippa Georgiou, formerly an emperor and now a club owner who’s teaming up with Starfleet’s clandestine unit. The film is set to debut on Paramount+ this coming Friday, January 24th.

Chad Stahelski, director of the John Wick series, isn’t hurrying his next major action venture despite Michael B. Jordan being eager to reprise his role as Tom Clancy’s Navy SEAL John Kelly in the Rainbow Six film. Stahelski and Jordan are associated with this highly anticipated movie, which is moving forward slowly as Stahelski emphasizes the significance of a thoughtful adaptation. In an interview with The Direct, Stahelski provided updates on the project’s extended production timeline while also complimenting franchise star Michael B. Jordan.

After a long hiatus of more than 10 years without an anime adaptation, Black Butler made a stunning return to popularity following the airing of the Public School Arc in 2024. This revival has set the series on a successful path, and fans can look forward to the upcoming adaptation of the beloved Emerald Witch Arc in 2025. The new season is being produced by CloverWorks, with Kenjirou Okada returning as director. To celebrate this exciting news, the official Black Butler account shared a special promotional video on platform X.

In Jon Favreau’s beloved holiday movie “Elf,” the character Buddy the Elf, played by Will Ferrell, becomes one of Santa’s friendly and joyful assistants. The filmmakers effectively mined humor from Buddy’s towering stature in various scenes throughout the film. As it turns out, Buddy is actually a human who inadvertently hopped into Santa’s toy sack on Christmas Eve and ended up at the North Pole instead of his intended destination. Raised as an elf for his entire life, Buddy eventually discovers his true identity as a human and sets off for New York City during Christmas time to reunite with his estranged father, Walter Hobbs, played by James Caan.
