As usual, Crunchyroll, the biggest place to watch anime online, will have most of these new shows available as they’re released. But, new episodes will come out one at a time each week, which isn’t great if you prefer to watch everything at once. If you’re searching for something new to stream, our list of 10 anime series should provide entertainment for the whole month. It’s a great way to discover new favorites! We hope you enjoy the shows!

Lots of popular franchises, such as Disney and Star Wars, have new releases this month. However, we’re especially looking forward to films by highly respected directors – true creative leaders like Yorgos Lanthimos and Guillermo del Toro. It’s going to be a great month for cinema! We can’t wait!

Hotel rooms often have a strange feeling, but 1408 might be the creepiest one yet. Director Mikael Håfström brought Stephen King’s short story – originally found in the audio collection Blood and Smoke and later in Everything’s Eventual – to the screen. It began streaming on Peacock on September 1st. The movie has a “Certified Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes with critics giving it a 79% score. 1408 stars John Cusack as Mike Enslin, a writer who tries to prove paranormal claims are false. He checks into the infamous room 1408 at the Dolphin Hotel, intending to disprove the stories of ghostly happenings. However, he quickly realizes he’s caught in a truly terrifying situation.

I’ve noticed that movies are hitting streaming services much faster after their theatrical releases lately. But when I spoke with Mitchel Berger, Executive Vice President, Global Commerce (who handles theatrical releases for Crunchyroll), about the success of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle in cinemas, I was surprised to hear something unexpected. He confirmed the new film won’t be available to stream until 2026 – at the very earliest! So, if you want to watch it, you’ll still need to head to the theaters.

The Wizarding World Direct account on X recently posted pictures and a short video showcasing the Hogwarts Express from the show. Many fans might mistake these images for behind-the-scenes footage from the films, as HBO’s version of the iconic train looks remarkably similar to the one seen in the movies. You can see the posts below:

I was reading an interview with Michael Pachter on Yahoo Finance, and it was all about the news of EA potentially being bought by three different companies. He really thinks “Connect to TV” is where gaming is headed. When they asked him about *other* possible acquisitions, specifically if someone might try to buy Sony, here’s what the analyst had to say:

The animated series will be produced with oversight from Supamonks, and they’ve committed to maintaining the core spirit of the original game. Interestingly, Supamonks was also responsible for all of the game’s artistic design and animation. They are very familiar with the source material.

As a big fan, I’m really excited about all the updates! They’ve made a bunch of improvements to how the game looks, especially with the environment. Photo Mode is getting some love too, and they’ve tweaked missions involving multiple characters. They’ve also squashed some rare crashes that were happening when loading saves or just playing for a long time, which is awesome. And finally, they’ve fixed some annoying issues with how the camera acted during combat, plus some bugs in both Bamboo Strike and Zeni Hajiki. Can’t wait to jump back in!

Battlefield Studios took valuable lessons from Battlefield 2042, and it appears they’re really putting those lessons into practice now. To begin with, Battlefield 6’s multiplayer will launch with a strong start, featuring content from Season 1 right away. Only a few weeks after the game is released, players will receive free new additions like maps, game modes, and weapons. This will give Battlefield a better chance to succeed in the first-person shooter market, as players will consistently have fresh experiences to enjoy.

The unmasking in Amazing Spider-Man #11 has created problems, especially since it revealed one of Peter Parker’s biggest foes as the new hero – a real letdown for Miles. With Peter off-world, and the city needing a Spider-Man, this felt like the perfect opportunity to finally give Miles the recognition he deserves. Instead, we’re left with three Spider-Men, and Miles still isn’t getting the respect he’s earned.
