Japan’s No. 1 Spring 2026 Anime Is the True Successor to an All-Time Great

Fans loved Fullmetal Alchemist so much that finding another anime quite like it has been difficult. While many shows have tried to reach the same level of quality, most haven’t succeeded. Those hoping for a sequel or similar series didn’t realize they were actually waiting for a new story by the same creator. Eleven years after Fullmetal Alchemist concluded, Hiromu Arakawa released a new manga called Daemons of the Shadow Realm. In Spring 2026, Bones Film—the studio behind the original Fullmetal Alchemist—adapted it into an anime, and it quickly became the top-ranked anime in Japan, according to multiple reports.

40 Years Ago Today, An Iconic Sitcom Ended on a Cliffhanger After 158 Episodes (But What Happened?!)

It’s unusual for a sitcom to end with an unresolved cliffhanger. Most sitcoms are inexpensive to make and have a planned trajectory, allowing them to wrap up neatly, as seen with shows like Seinfeld, Cheers, and The Big Bang Theory. However, forty years ago today, on April 19, 1986, the show Benson broke that mold, ending its seventh season on a cliffhanger. Sadly, the series was canceled before the storyline could be resolved, leaving viewers shocked and without closure. Fortunately, we now know what the original plan for the ending was.

3 Xbox Game Franchises That Never Made It Past the Original Xbox

Released in 2002, Blinx: The Time Sweeper was a unique platformer famously marketed as the “World’s First 4-D Action Game.” Players control Blinx, a cat on a mission to save the world and a princess. He uses a special vacuum cleaner, the TS-1000, to manipulate time – slowing it down, speeding it up, recording, reversing, or even stopping it altogether. Despite having a memorable character, solid gameplay, and a lot of potential, the series only got one sequel, Blinx 2: Masters of Time and Space, in 2004. The Blinx franchise disappeared after that, but it would be a great candidate for a modern remake.

3 Reasons PS6 Needs to Be Released After 2027

Although the idea of a PlayStation 6 is exciting, I believe launching one next year would be a mistake. I usually like to see new PlayStation consoles released quickly, but in this case, I think Sony would be better off waiting a bit longer before releasing the PS6.

7 Years Later, The Avengers’ True Leader After Endgame Is Finally Confirmed

Several heroes were strong contenders to lead the Avengers after the Infinity Saga. Doctor Strange seemed like a natural choice, having been central to defeating Thanos and exploring the multiverse in Phase 4. Others believed Sam Wilson, who inherited Captain America’s shield, was the right person for the job. Captain Marvel was also a popular pick, demonstrating strong leadership during the fight against Thanos and being one of the most powerful heroes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Marvel Studios has now announced who will take on the role.

Shonen Jump’s New Sports Series Is the Ultimate Replacement for Haikyuu and Blue Box

While Blue Box focuses on sports and the joy of competition, its central theme is romance, which really makes it stand out. The story follows several characters working to get better at their sports, driven by their feelings and commitments to others. Like other series, these stories find inspiration in different places. Drawn to the Fire takes the compelling dynamic between Hinata and Kageyama from Haikyuu!! – where their contrasting skills help them both improve – and combines it with Taiki’s romantic feelings for Chinatsu. This combination makes for a very promising start, and the first chapter of the new manga effectively showcases both of these key elements.
