Ryoko Kui’s Delicious in Dungeon is a great example of a recent trend in popular anime. The series premiered on Netflix in 2024 and quickly became a global hit during its first season, leading to the announcement of a second season. While fans eagerly await more episodes, the creator has approved a new cookbook for the series, featuring lots of new artwork by Kui. You can find details about it below.
RPGs sometimes feature incredible characters that players genuinely connect with, only for those characters to tragically die. When handled effectively, these deaths can be deeply upsetting and stay with fans for a long time. Some players even avoid finishing games like Final Fantasy 7 because they know what’s coming and aren’t prepared for the emotional impact. Here are 5 of the most memorable and heartbreaking character deaths in RPGs that we’re still thinking about. Be warned: major spoilers ahead, so proceed with caution.
For its first few seasons, Warehouse 13 consistently attracted a solid audience. However, changes in the cable TV industry during its fourth season began to create financial challenges. Although still a key show for Syfy, the network announced in May 2013 that the series would end after a shortened fifth season of just six episodes. The final episode aired 12 years ago, on May 19, 2014. The cancellation was mainly due to the high cost of producing a science fiction show with lots of special effects and detailed historical sets. These costs, combined with a decline in live viewership during Season 4, proved unsustainable. At the time, Syfy was also changing its strategy, focusing on less expensive reality TV and different types of programming. As a result, Warehouse 13 was affected by budget cuts, and the show’s creators had to finish the story in a limited number of episodes.
The story really kicked off with the introduction of the character Bishop in Uncanny X-Men #282 (which I recently acquired – it’s much more affordable now than when I was younger!). Bishop came from a bleak future created by someone who betrayed the X-Men, a reveal that happened in Uncanny X-Men #287 and caused a sensation in the comic book world. The X-Men dominated the 1990s, with most fans reading either Uncanny X-Men or X-Men (Vol. 2), and often both. While incredibly popular, the storyline eventually lost momentum and concluded in the massive X-Men event of the decade, “Onslaught.”
The new update, which will be released on June 11th and was revealed today at the Gran Turismo World Series event in Milan, features these five cars:
Featuring Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, and Bill Pullman, The Buroughs tells the story of a peaceful retirement community turned upside down. When strange, otherworldly forces threaten to steal the residents’ remaining time, this unlikely group must become heroes and fight back to save their lives.
While films like The Super Mario Bros. Movie are now available to rent online, and big titles like Scream 7 will be on Paramount+ next week, they don’t necessarily represent the best films of the year. Instead, these five movies stand out as both critically acclaimed and currently accessible online, perfect if you didn’t catch them in theaters. Several of them will even be available to stream very soon.
I was absolutely blown away by Taizan 5’s Takopi’s Original Sin last year – it was seriously one of the most gripping and dark anime I’ve seen stream on Crunchyroll! It was a shame it only had six episodes, but I’m thrilled to hear they’re continuing the story with a brand new movie! It’s called Takopi’s Original Sin -Thank You, See You Tomorrow, and you can check out the first teaser trailer below!
Fans of Back to the Future will be happy to know that TV is proving to be a great format for really digging into the emotional consequences of time travel. Unlike many sci-fi stories where time travel just happens, some shows, like Back to the Future, explore what would actually happen if you changed the past.
With a 93% rating from critics, Everwood features Emily VanCamp, Treat Williams, and Gregory Smith. The show follows Dr. Andrew Brown, a skilled brain surgeon whose life is turned upside down by the death of his wife. He moves with his children, Delia and Ephram, to the small town of Everwood, Colorado—a place he felt a connection to. Everwood perfectly captures the charm of small-town life, though it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. The series also wasn’t afraid to address difficult and emotional topics.
